GAME THREAD: IU 17 @ Notre Dame 27. FINAL.

Got ‘em right where we want ’em.

I do NOT feel overwhelmed. I’m at peace. We will revert to Nebraska-like surgical execution, and advance to New Orleans.

Does anyone know why we refuse to return a kick? What the did we have to lose?
My drunken armchair analytics tell me that 50% of the time you run back a punt or kickoff, you get a holding call. Maybe the staff read my blog.

We have a back up punter, right?
If not, surely amongst the students on campus, someone can kick it over 35 yards.

Because analytics say you almost never get it to the 25 returning it.

Now, with 7 seconds left, for sure, the proper strategy was to return it. That one was a head scratcher.

Big Ben used to punt from time to time. My guess is Rourke could punt better than the arseclown punter we have.
