Even if Notre Dame football has “washed away” its loss to Northern Illinois earlier this season, one Fighting Irish standout is fearful that what happened that day may occur again. The main reason he is concerned is that there are no answers to why it happened in the first place.
This week, the Fighting Irish will sit, wait, and watch. However, they should endeavor to ensure that from now until the end of the season, they play like they did against Texas A&M rather than NIU.
Former Notre Dame football superstar Tim Brown is among many who wish there were answers to the NIU game’s outcome. During an appearance on Chicago Sports Network earlier this week, he expressed his main fear for the season, even as the Irish prepare to make their final drive.
Notre Dame football needs to avoid another bizarre letdown
“I believe their primary worry should be not to repeat week two. You know, if they can avoid making mistakes like they did at home against NIU this year, I believe this team will be competitive all the way to the playoffs.”
Brown wants someone to come up with an explanation. Until they do, he will find things terrifying.
“So, you know, that’s a scary situation because nobody really has a reason for why that happened. And how do you stop it from happening if you don’t know why it happened, right? So I think that’s the biggest concern that any Irish fan should have at this particular point.”
Brown is not wrong. When Week 2 began, there were plenty Notre Dame football supporters who were dissatisfied with Marcus Freeman’s lack of answers. The season has quelled anxieties, but they remain at the forefront of people’s minds.
