Did not see anyone point this out, but on the 3rd and 19 to play to Ebuka they left Stover open for a walk-in TD. This is not a diss to McCord whatsoever. It's a diss to the ND coaching staff. Rushing 3 and sitting 8 back in soft coverage was a really poor mistake on their part and cost them the game as much as leaving 10 men on the field. McCord having both Ebuka and Stover open for a first down/ TD on 3rd and 19 is shockingly bad playcalling from ND.
Go to 3:37 of this video and watch how open Stover gets once he gets past the linebacker's level, who totally leaves him to be covered by a safety that never helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6c6Et1OpBY
