Not necessarily. Brian Kelly’s fatal flaw as a head coach is consistently playing to the level of his competition. This is the same ND team that struggled against Ball State and Vanderbilt in back to back games at home last season, but then beat their ranked opponents by an average of 21 points.
ND will lose to UGA, that I’m confident of. However I fully expect they’ll be much sharper in Athens and will give the Dawgs a run for their money.
