Call me a crazed loon, but I think Quenton "The Q" Meeks may be more valuable to this team than McCaffrey. When it was announced yesterday that McCaffrey would be held out of the game, I was less discouraged than I would have been if McCaffrey were playing and Meeks couldn't go. With all due respect to McCaffrey's electricity, take him away and our offense has other weapons. Take Meeks away and the defense is a dog without a bone.
On the original subject, it gradually became clear yesterday that everything NDIrish was saying about his team this year is true. Bully on our guys for producing the heart and guts to go on the road and get the win. However, it seemed that the ND game plan, particularly in the second half, was fragmented, incoherent and hazy. And this is clearly not the first time it has been so this season. Go on as long as you like about fire, grit, emotion, and energy, but when you manage a game like that you're not going to get that out of your team.
