The ND boards are eating Weis alive for not running the ball... ...at the end, but I think a lot of that comes from the frustration of failure. You are right about play action to Rudolph--that would have been higher percentage than the play to Evans, not because the latter didn't result in a wide open receiver, but because the receiver was inexperienced. You definitely have some outstanding talent on the field, and it will be interesting to see if RR follows up his premier losing season with a 9-3 or thereabouts, as he did at WVU.
More on "conclusive"... ...per WNDU, Channel 16 in South Bend, a Big East official says that the TD should not have been overturned! That's soothing. http://www.wndu.com/sports/headlines/59263772.html
Next time, when a receiver is wide open (as S. Evans was on... ...3rd down in ND's last meaningful series), maybe he'll turn around and catch it! Luck...
Luck of the Blue... In the midst of all of this discussion (in which views from bars, or on a scoreboard hundreds of feet away, or on ABC, taken at angles to the runner's direction, are better than the view of the ref who trailed the play by a couple of yards right down the sideline)--a sobering thought, maybe? The next time Michigan's D lets a screen go 40-some yards down the sideline to the end zone, they might not be lucky enough to have the runner step 1/32" out of bounds. A football play didn't stop Allen; a guy in an airless booth did, and that's how the cookie crumbles. Luck, be a lady! That's what decides most college football games.
