True. If you didn't already know, all you had to do was look at the bowl performances of the teams that ND barely squeaked by during the season.

Admittedly, the Cotton Bowl scared the crap out of me. I felt like we had outplayed Oklahoma in Norman (and we won by 17), but A&M just trucked them. Stanford looked just OK in the Rose Bowl.

No one we had played up to that point had the horses to handle Tuitt, Nix, and Lewis-Moore straight up, and that had concealed some weaknesses at linebacker and safety that Alabama was able to expose big-time.

I actually contend that our team last year (2013) was more talented top-to-bottom and probably would have fared better against top-flight teams than the 2012 team if we had had anything approaching competent quarterback play last year. Tommy Rees made Jordan Jefferson look like Peyton Manning. We really pissed away what could have been a very good year last year.
