Context: who did they lose to? Surely that matters. Is Indiana a 2018 Clemson or 2020 Bama? What about this Georgia team? What about Penn State? Hell, even this Ohio State team? You can eat shite and admit y’all aren’t at that level yet.

He’s certainly more dynamic. His deep ball is more accurate. But Burrow just had an S tier season.

In 2018, Brian Kelly’s Notre Dame lost 34-3 to the undefeated Clemson Tigers, led by Trevor Lawrence, who went on to beat an undefeated Alabama team 44-16 in the national championship.

In 2020, Kelly’s Notre Dame lost to Alabama 34-14, who went on to beat Ohio State 52-24 in an uncompetitive national championship game. This team was led by a heisman winning wide receiver and was one of the best offenses of the modern era.

How close is Gunner Stockton’s Georgia or Penn State to 2020 Bama? Or 2018 Clemson? These are two of the best teams in recent history. Look at the rosters and their natties.

Will getting dog walked vs Ohio State change your perception? Or is it just the perceived energy around the program that makes Freeman so great? This is shaping up to be really embarrassing for ND and the media, because now just making it to the party isn’t enough. Losing the big game makes everything else a sham (which is a shame… what they’ve accomplished is impressive given their lack of offensive talent and injuries!)

1. Denbrock has made a huge difference for the Notre Dame offense. They have a legit NFL runningback, and Denbrock is able to get the most out of Riley Leonard, who is fun to watch in these close games. Watching this year's ND offense vs 2022-23 is night and day.
2. Marcus Freeman's defenses are nasty. They're big fast, and fundamentally sound, and they play ridiculously hard. It's no wonder LSU wanted him so badly in 2021.
3. ND's taken a major step in their defensive talent under Freeman. The NIL era + Freeman's youth have revitalized ND recruiting in a way not seen in the BK era in South Bend.
4. Freeman has ND in a position to be a yearly lock for the college football playoffs, which is about what he inherited from BK. This is not to take anything away from Freeman, but he inherited a Ferarri. BK's fingerprints are all over the program. And as good as this ND team is, they'd be a PROBLEM if they had an elite QB.
5. This team is fun to watch.

They were 11-1 when he left, retard.

What is he supposed to say? Lol.

You act like BK wasn’t 11-1 when leaving ND. If Freeman wins a natty, I’ll be impressed

Call me crazy but we’ve missed on in state defensive linemen. Should we have paid 7-8 figures for Freak Johnson or Maason Smith? This guy didn’t play as much high school ball as those two and they were “locks” to be elite. Both were average

2015? Lol

This was Kelly’s first true blunder. He’s over-performed the past two seasons.
