Sileo mentioned it on his show but I could not hear who the player was that stated this.

I'm sure Kelly told his team that we would be soft and he was right. We are still a soft team physically and mentally in some spots.
 
The offense did not show up...so they could not quit!

The D held 'Dame to 13 pts at half...no way they quit...maybe ran out of gas for being note field for 40 minutes!

I'm not saying they did or didn't quit, but clearly it's possible that the defense played hard for the first half but could have gave up in the 3rd or 4th quarter when they saw the offense wasnt going to do anything and they had given up a couple of scores. ****, the offense started playing to run clock and lose less badly (IMO); kind of hard to stay motivated when you are losing the battle on D and your offense is just trying to slow the bleeding as opposed to going for the win.

Lol @ "held them to only 13 points in the first half" to a team that only managed 17 points a game vs everyone else not named Navy. Including only getting 13 on Michigan, who gifted them 6 turnovers.

PROGRESS!!!
 
The way they finished that game was a huge blow to Golden's main selling point, that he is developing a team that never quits.

I screamed from my seats in Soldier Field for Golden to insert some real players and bench the 11 popsicles that I saw on the field. He didn't listen.

you realize ND scored on or missed a FG on every drive they had the whole game right?

the only reason we held them to 13 points in the first half is
1)we had the ball first
2)they only had 4 possessions 1 TD 3 FG attempts
3)our offense kept them off the field for a bit

we now had 2 games with the oppoenents have had ZERO punts and in the other games we given up 32,36, and 37 points.

Scary thing is the offense didn't turn it over once and ND still dropped 41.

Chew on that.

True, but our offense did so little and held the ball for such short periods of time that they might as well have turned the ball over. Look at the comparison in time of possession:

i could be wrong, but i don't think this is right. i was at the game so i didn't get a chance to see any stats but i coulda sworn i saw us field a punt or two.
