What happened

Notre Dame opened 41-13 over Wisconsin, and the box score looked nothing like the mood inside the stadium. The turning point came when a sluggish first half finally cracked open and the lead stopped feeling negotiable, at which point the needling started: one fan asked "Where's the Miami flair who said our season was over," savoring a grudge barely an hour old. Others had already moved on to the running backs, insisting "these backs aren't it." At 1-0, the complaints arrive ahead of the evidence.
