Notre Dame had only 10 men on the field for the final TD

Yes, they did.  

‘if ND would have won, we wouldn’t hear the end of it for the next 10 years.

One dude chickened out. "Fuck that, coach. They're just too damn tough for me."

But people are calling the OSU players names and disrespecting them because theyve lost 2 big ten games the last 3 years. Lol. 

What an idiot.

Zing

He probably didn't play school either....

and it took OSU TWO plays to figure it out.  

And OSU still had trouble scoring on them….

Whack like MC Hammer. Whack like Vanilla Ice...

Well, if we're talking about toughness, they were punishing OSU up the middle. Getting away from it on two crucial fourth-quarter plays was their downfall. Ten guys on the line with the game on the line prolly didn't help.

And they almost didn't....

I must've missed something.  Who said what about whom?

Ah, ah, ah!

I was yelling at my screen when they only rushed 3

I feel like, as often as not, the "prevent" in "prevent defense" is short for "prevent yourself from winning."

It's coaching psychology mindset. DCs generally can't help themselves in such "game on the line" situations. You can't do "nothing" or do the same as you have been doing, so you "gamble" and either:

• "shoot your guns" and blitz (and take the chance on getting burned);
• or you sometimes gamble on "surprising" the QB by dropping eight and figuring he might get impatient and try to force the ball and you have an extra guy to tackle anybody short of the first down.

The other thing you can do is rush three and then "green dog" (a delayed bitz) but in my recollection the ball was out pretty quickly, and the receiver made the catch surrounded by defenders. Say what you want about their "toughness" [I'll leave that to Lou Holtz], but Ohio State has great receivers and good to great QBs and have a lot of confidence in their passing game, especially in such pressure situations.

Now you're using your head.  I counted three on the line, with seven dropping.

So, ND had 10 men on D for the last three plays of the game.  

EDIT:  Actually, upon further review, I suspect they had another safety set super far back in the secondary and outside of the TV frame because, on the subsequent play, ND ran 11 up to the line for McCord's spike.

Wffhy ffwoulfd Day get pfissy abfout fsomething he fsfsaidth?

Ouch!

With the Holy Trinity, it's like too many men on the field there. Y'know, when you think about it...

The Jesus I know had gap integrity.
