Phil Steele and the myth of the ND two-point conversion.
Dec 11, 2015, 2:22 PM

The myth of the ND two point conversion is still alive and well. Phil Steele on College Football Daily just said ND is two plays, against Clemson and Stanford, from being undefeated. He also picked Oklahoma over Clemson (surprise) and Perine to rush for more yards than Gallman.

UNC recovering an onside kick would have been worth 9.

Crap Logic

I've said it once, and I'll say it again.
That stupid logic goes both ways. If they were two plays away from being unbeaten (which isn't true on it's own merit), they were at least one play away from losing to UVA. They needed a last second bomb to win that game. The football season is a series of successful or missed opportunities, and how they all play out is reflected in the final score. ND lost two games, that is all that matters.

it's amazing how people ignore the fact that we kicked the snot out of them for 3 quarters before we went a bit too conservative with the play-calling in that monsoon. But I guess people only remember what they choose to remember

he didn't get any yards until the end of the game. I don't know why it'll change this year

Yep...he had 14 carries for 62 yards through 3 quarters, with Clemson leading 40-0. In the 4th quarter, he had 72 yards on 9 carries. That was after we pulled out defensive starters.

Two "close" losses are still two losses ...
Dec 11, 2015, 5:01 PM

And almost EVERY close game has one or two plays that meant victory or defeat.
For Notre Dame those plays meant that they lost. Simple as that.

I used to enjoy reading Steele, but I can't tell if he has declined in quality or I was just too young back then.
