It sucks to be close, but never close enough. It’s demoralizing to be the team that others use to boost their strength of schedule. It’s embarrassing to always have a team that you just can’t beat. It’s disheartening to always lose on the biggest stage.
You just want it to stop.
Well, LSU made it stop. They beat Alabama, won a National Championship, had a Heisman Trophy quarterback and a magical season. Now, wouldn’t it be nice for Notre Dame to exercise their own demons?
The Fighting Irish should try going about it like LSU.
