Happy about 4-0. Big test next week.

I honestly thought he would have a short pass to the tight end to tie the record. I thought that would have been the perfect call for a easy short pitch and catch.

JFC.

shit

WTF was that Golson.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Every inside kick I have flashbacks to that Navy game.

 

[whywork2]

I want to see power football

I would not want to be a Notre Dame offensive player this week in the film room...BK is going to rip them to shreds

just a great read by the safety. more of a good play by him than a bad play by Golson

4-0. Ugly game.

 

[jjc2009]

Well. The only thing I hate worse than ugly wins are losses.

very dissatisfying win tonight .. and after a bye which followed a very dissatisfying win against purdue. ND should have wasted this team and they simply couldn't. ND is not as good as we seem to think they are.

The Brady Hoke count down begins... just a matter of time. I say he doesn't make it two more weeks

The schedule that looked decently tough (Rice a supposedly good midmajor, Michigan) has been weak, so yeah, Stanford should tell us everything we need to know about this team.

You guys need to settle down. You're not going to play your good game all the time. I don't think we played that bad in the Purdue game. It is almost like you guys expect to win every game by the 30-40 points

You said the same thing after Purdue. Once is a data point, twice in a row is a trend. We've looked good against some bad competition. Michigan is a dumpster fire of a program. All of that said, we dominated both sides of the ball. The only thing that kept SU in the game was penalties and turnovers. Their one decent drive was aided by about 40 yards in penalties and they still only managed 3 points. They got six more off of Bryant's turnover, which was a 10-14 point swing, and Golson's pick six. Golson's first fumble occurred when we were driving Also, for as much crap as the O line got tonight, I believe our RBs averaged 4.5 ypc, not world beating, but respectable for a team that was clearly selling out to stop the run.

He might not survive the weekend. There's a lot of anger over him putting Morris back in after he was clearly concussed.

 

[bksballer89]

We'll be fine.

The most important thing out of the first 4 games is that the defense has been consistent .
