Agree with this. He is in almost the same boat as Brian Kelly/ND. Based on the results on the field against playoff caliber teams they can’t compete physically. I think they both recognize this as a potential negative going forward.

Both of them were making excuses and trying to prop their teams up after the game with the media. ND living off past accomplishments has run its course and it is clear that the B12 is not close physically to SEC teams, Clemson, teams like Ohio St, Michigan, etc... b12 is 2nd tier and everyone outside that conference recognizes that.
