It was a familiar question, one asked before, even if initially hard to place. “What is the worst-case scenario for Notre Dame this weekend? And what is its best realistic chance?” This time, it came from Tyler Cass on 92.1 The Ticket in Fayetteville, Ark., on a much-too-early phone interview Thursday morning.
As soon as beginning to answer, the familiarity was placed. The query originally came from Edgar as the car pulled into the parking lot at what was then known as Sun Life Stadium back on Jan. 7, 2013. At that moment, the Irish were 10-point underdogs, and Edgar was so convinced of their ability to compete that evening, he had invested in that figure.
