Countdown to the Irish Kickoff 2017

I don't see a good season next year unless kizer stays and we hire a big time D.C. Also need a new special team coach

Just won $93 off this game.

I get that, but do you honestly think he lead with his helmet? I certainly don't. It's such a bad call cause it's a judgment call. Going full speed and hitting like that you can't control the bodies natural movement after a hit. It's like getting rear ended, you can't control the natural reaction. I have seen ND players take legit ear hole shots, get removed from the game and then out for concussion, not one call. That was not an obvious lead with the helmet, and that's the problem. Terrible rule when not called properly.

I only like the call of is intent to hurt a player In this case it was a good hit

Notre Dame needs better recruiting.

Have to disagree with you on this one... that wasn't helmet to helmet that was shoulder to shoulder

And when do you see players knocked out when hit on the shoulder. That play was right in front of us. You could hear the helmets hit. That ND players about 170 lbs and the only way he could knock someone out is to hit him in the helmet. Oh and that Tillery asshole needs some serious disciplinary action.Kicking a kid whose obiously layed out as he walks by then stomping on the other down players ankle.

It because of the way the rule is enforced now. Intent doesn't matter. It was helmet to helmet which constitutes targeting. I don't like the rule either, but it was enforced correctly.

Wasn't he just checking to see if he was conscious?

And clearly, he was just helping Zach Banner stretch his ankle.

 

[socaljim242]

Whats nuts is ND a bunch fans on the boards (irishillustrated) are saying they liked his play and need more players like him. Bunch of idiots.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

He did that twice this was the first time.

 

[TROJAN-MAN]

Yes he did sir, a real P.O.S.

Thats assuming Juju and adoree return. Theres a good chance both declare. Hoping for 1 more year from both tho

I agree with @socaljim242 he should be disciplined. That was a real POS move especially kicking a guy that just took a helmet to helmet shot to the head

From what I heard from the Scouts board, Kelly suspended him from any potential post season play. If Kelly had a pair and if he has seen any additional video, he should kick his ass off the team. Can you imagine if Ware had any spinal injury and did that shit

I agree suspending someone from non existing post season play after that? If ware had a spinal injury and I still haven't seen an update on a head injury. That was extremely dangerous

No shit, he tweeted that he was okay, but no doubt he has concussion

Suspended him from potential post season play and he's on a 4-8 team.

That'll learn him.
