Apparently, it can.
So they made the same mistake against a lesser opponent yet didn't have the awareness to make sure it didn't happen again in possibly the biggest game of the season ( twice)?
Brilliant!

If they make a ND flip to UK then they will sell out in the Cincinnati area.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Badmouth your alma mater some more, Marcus. Perhaps that will keep them on your side.

Neither can l. I mean, We’re talking tier two school with MAC level stadium and facilities. That the Irish didn’t insist on playing the game on some “neutral“ NFL field amass me. Wasn’t that long ago Ohio STate forced aNorthwestern to play a home game in Cleveland Municipal

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
It was a "financial decision" by NW to move their home game with Ohio State to Cleveland.
The Strange Story of "The Modell Bowl"
As NU/OSU approaches, we can expect to see thousands of scarlet and grey-clad Buckeye fans at Ryan Field, many of whom will travel across Indiana to see their team. The past few Wildcat/Buckeye...

The Strange Story of "The Modell Bowl"
Then-Northwestern Athletic Director Bruce Corrie is often criticized for the decision to move the game. However, most of his critics fail to recognize the massive financial problems that NU athletics faced in the 1980s. Unlike today, television revenue was not pumping tens of millions of dollars into the program. In addition, there was not yet the proliferation of bowl agreements that guarantee significant money to all members of the Big Ten (at the time the Rose Bowl was the only official Big Ten bowl tie-in). The NCAA men’s basketball tournament had not yet become the television cash cow we enjoy today.AD
Just like today, attendance was a problem and facilities lagged other conference members. Budget problems led to the elimination of track and cross country for both men and women in 1987. Despite having some fine women’s programs, the department was also facing Title IX compliance issues. According to the Chicago Tribune, the school had fewer than 90 female athletes on scholarship in 1991.
Cash problems seeped into every aspect of NU sports. Salaries for assistant coaches and staff were inadequate to retain talent. At one point in the late 1980s, the football program brought a volunteer coach onto its staff (not a Graduate Assistant, but a full time coach). The high cost of living on the North Shore made it difficult for new staff members, many of whom had very modest salaries. During the late 1980s, one member of the equipment staff was forced to live in the equipment room for a few months while saving enough money for an apartment.

How many of ND's players who went pro over the years are even Catholic?
They would be Northwestern if they tried to play it like that.

That was some poor coaching in that game. They went for it on 4th and 11 with 9:49 left and only down by 11. Punt the ball and hope your defense can stop them. This along with the 10 players on the field during the Ohio State game makes you question the ability of that coaching staff.
