Well the season is pretty much over now, I really don't think they'll have a shot at the playoffs. the defense is going to be a big problem this year.

Offensive line was less than impressive.

They did ok. Q. Nelson had a bad whiff when they needed it. Still struggle with getting two yards when they absolutely have to but gave Kizer just enough time to make some amazing plays too

The other thing that sucks is our defense is so bad that we won't be able to rest starters and get backups experience against our weaker opponents that we should blow out.

First as college football fan I thought this was a very interesting game college coaches need to remember.

I thought your defense was not in game shape. In 3-4 gems your defense holds Texas in check.

It was a perfect storm against the Irish yesterday. Up tempo for the first game of the year, the heat in Texas, and a coaching staff slow to rotate defensive players quickly. The defense just wore down. I kept seeing the defense slow to get in position.

I would not want to play this style of offense the first game of the year. Notre Dame had more talent but the pace offset that advantage.

First game of the year to much needs to unfold to say your out of it. The B1G is brutal I can't see any team going through the season without a loss and the same could be said of the SEC so 1 loss should be easy to overcome. Especially this early.

They were fundamentally unsound in tackling. I agree on the substitutions but there's really no one to substitute at safety. Too many 3 man fronts when the whole world knew TX was running it.

Seven years in and year 3 with this DC. In the last 3 games they've given up 38, 44 and 50 points. Watching the front 7 stunt themselves out of plays is maddening too.

this is what im talking about. This defensive scheme is shit. i blame Kelly for not firing VG. 1 more bad game and he needs to get fired mid season. next year hire a top DC. no more messing around. its time to go all in. we have the talent.

Also very disappointed in Oline. our center and RG struggled big time.

Not going to disagree at all. I saw the same thing but thought the heat and no huddle had a lot to do with that.

As for scheme I will defer to you guys as you have seen much more Irish football than me. I just know you have some quality athletes on defense. Getting the most out of them is the real question for Kelly. I am a CMU Alum and watch him he is definitely a better offense guy and needs a solid guy to run the defense.

In 3-4 weeks I still think Notre Dame wins that game easily.
