They’re a good team w/o those guys but no way are they a Top 10 team. 

ND has the benefit of manipulating their schedule which almost nobody else can do. They’ve been super fortunate over the past few years that USC Stanford and VaTech are terrible. At best a 5th place team in SEC.

Don't get me wrong, this will help us, but I never root for injuries to players.  Sucks for them after all the hard work put in.

That said, if it was an injury to Brian Kelly himself, gotta admit that I wouldn't be upset at all, particularly after he let that videographer kid die on that scaffolding.

Don't understand how he still has a job....anybody who cares about other human beings would have told that kid to get down out of there in high winds.

Cannot beat him by enough points for me............

Crawford’s injury was nasty, you could see his forearm in the wrong direction.   That guy has had horrible luck with an ACL, then an Achilles tear, another ACL, now this.

Not sure why this a conversation and why we are even playing them with schedule we have. Let's play schools that can figure out what conference they want their teams in ... not multiple for the sake of what is best for them. How is this even allowed?
