Re: Did Notre Dame quit?
I'm not sure it is quiting if the coach doesn't call all his time outs when the game is not within reach. I'm by no means a ND apologist, but why prolong the game when it is over? Maybe so people do not say you quit. Other than that, I can't think of a good reason.

You & me both have seen 3 touchdowns scored in less than 2 minutes. If USC was up by 17+ I can understand. As remote as the situation was I'd have been using a couple of timeouts somewhere.

I am too competitive to not try until the whistle, but for every time someone has pulled off a come back, 100 games go by that just take longer. Luke Fickell did that this year, didn't use the timeouts. I didn't like it, but really the way Ohio State was playing they weren't coming back.

I can only recall on relatively acceptable reason. Injury, if you are thin and the odds are long..."injury" is the answer to, "What's the worst that can happen?"
