#10 ND @ Texas: Pre Game Thread

[The Q]

is Torii Hunter JR going to be a good #1 WR?

Desperate fantasy owners are dying to know. lol

 

[purguy12]

Hunter will be good. Guy I like for Fantasy owners would be CJ Sanders our Slot guy. He makes things happen. He returned a Punt and a kick off for a TD.

I would say Yes

 

[podsox]

See I think if 1 is in rhythm Kelly will stay with him. He knows better not to switch things if things are going well. I agree he likes to try and out smart the other HC but he knows QBs.

Idk he pulled that shit at cinch all time. Qb would drive them down and then he would bring collaras to run goal line offense. Hated it

Yes, but I see E. St. brown and Boykin moving up quickly. These guys are huge, and while not as fast as Fuller or Hunter, they are much bigger targets. They will be like fast TE's on the outside. Hopefully they can block ( I think Boykin goes 220lbs.). But I am optimistic about our offense this year. Both on the ground and in the air.

 

[purguy12]

Some updates from Kelly today. Avery Sebastian is the stater not Studstill. Studstill still not 100%.
Kelly still doest know who will take the first series on Sunday. He talked about what MZ did to Texas Defense. Then also mention how Kizer knows this offense so well that he is impressed. Kizer is like having another coach on the field.

Should be interesting.

 

[purguy12]

Question to Kelly: On a hot hand with the quarterbacks...

"That will play a little bit into it. You want to keep your quarterbacks, as I said, flow is important, rhythm is important, but if we get into a field zone where another quarterback could be better, I'll have to supersede the "hot QB" for the better fit."

(I.E. Zaire is better in the red zone, lol, so look for him.)

A lot of people at ESPN who typically hate on Notre Dame to begin with are picking Texas as a prime upset pick. Those same people have been talking about how great Tennessee is going to be, yeah getting beat by Appalachian State at home is a great way to start the season. It just shows how every year there is at least one or two SEC teams that get hyped for no reason because Tennessee hasn't shown that they should be as highly ranked as they are.

 

[purguy12]

Tenn is still Tenn. LOL this is sad.

 

[bbirish73]

The spread for the Notre Dame game is ridiculous. I would put my money, if I had any money to gamble, on Notre Dame covering. Texas doesn't have a quarterback that can win this game. Texas players don't play with a chip on their shoulder and will fold as soon as the first sign of adversity shows up. I look for Notre dame to be up 14 in the first half and Texas will give up before the 3rd quarter even starts. 42-24 is my final prediction

Didn't Tennessee win in OT?

I believe he posted this before the game was over. Either way, winning against a FCS opponent in OT sure doesn't look great.

I think App State moved up to FBS a couple of years ago, but winning on a fumble recovery in the end zone in OT against them is nothing a top 10 team should be doing.

I agree I got it at -3. ND should win this one with out a problem. Not because im a ND fan just we have so much more talent then Texas. Only thing that can doom ND is turnover and if we score FGs instead of TDs. Texas has a good running game and their D is k but our O should beat Texas D.

 

[purguy12]

It doesnt matter that Tenn won did u watch them play. They arent anything special.

 

[bbirish73]

Tennessee never is anything special. We have had our share of close calls to inferior teams. I'm not going to say Tennessee is bad or they are good. Too early to tell but they definitely are overrated.

Let's git it on ....

Yes they did but are they really a top 10 team worth hyping the $hit out of like I've been hearing for a few weeks now.

TX might be starting a Freshman QB and an inexperienced OL, the center is probably out for our game, so they'll have a new center, and one or two other OL will be questionable at game time too.

There really aren't any excuses for this one.
