Northern Illinois pulls off the upset 16-14

even after NIU got hosed on a late spot and clock screwup that let ND save a timeout
That was a garbage spot, a failure for the replay crew, and a poor job by the line judge as he was 6 yards behind the play when he ran up to make the spot

Thankfully karma won out

Not sure how that program continues to get propped up. They are never going to win another national title.
They have the tenth most talented roster in the country with 57 four stars. For comparison ole moss has 29 we have like 23. Marcus Freeman must be another fake figurehead coach

They get an artificial bump from the ND offer. No one is choosing ND over the Top 6-7 SEC schools or the Top 3-4 B1G schools. They’ve had a talent problem up there for quite awhile.

The only problem with that is most of those four stars have impressive offer lists. They have talent, especially on defense. they are poorly coached.

My cousin has never been on the Notre Dame campus except for a couple games. I would love to be a fly in his house right now.

One loss doesn’t sink them, but losing to NIU at home makes you think more losses are coming.

Also makes you think A&M isn’t that good to only score 13 at home against ND.

You can keep believing 247 ratings and offer lists all you want….I’ll just keep looking at the last decade or so of NFL draft picks which tells a far different story.

Who have been their biggest studs there? Kyren Williams? Chase Claypool?

Compare that to what Bama, UGA, LSU, Ohio State, Michigan, etc. are producing.

They simply aren’t producing the caliber of players you have to have to be a Top 5 program.

I don’t think they are a top 5 program. top 15 this year Was about right Given their talent level. They are always overhyped for sure.

These games will happen every year. It's what makes college football so much fun. I thought for a while that BAMA was headed in that direction.
