Irish lacking mental toughness

08:13 AM ET 09.12 | By most reasonable accounts, the Irish squandered a shot at beating Michigan. ND held a 268-90 edge in total yards at halftime, 410-141 after taking a 24-7 lead with 2:13 left in the third quarter. The Irish then allowed 229 total yards and four touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Fatigue or lack of mental toughness? The signs point to the latter. Remember, this group of Irish fifth-year seniors is 24-28 in their careers. Even the vaunted 2008 recruiting class, now fourth-year seniors, are a mortal 21-19. ... Some coaches, at 0-2, would go all in for 2012. And Kelly admitted Sunday he's not averse to playing a young, dynamic player over a veteran.

I said it last week. They lack discipline! They look like the Bad News Bears of CFB. I know I give the domer homers a rough way, but I seriously see a lack of discipline for the irish.
BTW...... ND just gave up another turnover!

Can we just admit that they recruited bad players for years and they are still feeling the effects of it?
