3 That ND Needs to Make the Leap

Football is the ultimate team game. Eleven players have to be on the same page because one person not doing his job can ruin everything. All it takes is one mistake and things can go bad in a hurry.

In saying that, the whole "you're only as good as your weakest link" thing has always been a garbage cliche to me. That's just not true. I've always felt that teams can only go as far as their best players take them. Yes, it's an X's and O's/scheme game. It's eleven pieces on the field working as one.
