I grew up a ND fan and watched a ton of ND football growing up;I do not have a hard one for them.
Is it because I called them "golden ND'? Or is it because I said they did not have a very tough schedule this last year in comparison to teams like OSU, LSU or Texas? Those things are true aren't they?
ND to their credit does get extra TV coverage, bowl consideration and national title attention because of their huge following. BUt that is good for the game. It is like when the Yankees and Red Sox meet in the ALCS. Big money to be made. But I have nothing against them. I do not think what I said to be untrue or slandering ND in any way. It is the truth... right?
My point was Quinn had a lot of hype and was very highly rated before the 2006 season started. They were ready to give him the Heisman before the season even started.
Plus, for some to to blame ND's season on the rest of the team and excuse Quinn is not right. Quinn was the one that had the bad games and multiple interceptions in the Michigan and LSU losses.
Ben Roethlisberger Played on a much weaker team, Miami of Ohio and still led his team to bowl wins and many upsets of higher ranked teams. ND has much more talent that any Miami of Ohio team, yet Roelisberger still QB'ed his team to victory after victory.
