There are two major points that Jamie makes on the Georgia loss:
ND needs to upgrade its recruiting to beat teams like Georgia and
the offensive line got beat up badly.

The strange thing is that he is pinning the loss to a great extent on that part of the team that has had the most success in recruiting. The five starters were all four star recruits (with Nelson a five), and their position rating nationally was: Bars - 10, Kraemer - 4, McGlinchey - 8, Mustipher - 8, Nelson 3.

It seems to me that it would be pretty difficult to materially improve those numbers, which leads one to ask: At what point is the questioning of Hiestand's coaching no longer considered to be heretical?
