#10 ND @ Texas: Pre Game Thread

[purguy12]

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.

They will drop after this week.

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.

On thing its a road game but I always felt like ND played well on the Road. I mean look at that clemson game. We should of won that game but they didnt look nervous.

Beware of Malik Jefferson & Donghorns' secondary. Jefferson could be 'worrisome' - dude is young beast.

Notre Dame's offensive line is going to be the difference. Malik or Kizer will have plenty of time to pick apart the Texas secondary no matter how good they are. I think we can run at will though. Offense isn't going to be the problem. Defense on the other hand is a big question mark. I don't know what to expect but I'm hopeful not to see dog shit

I think it's much closer than last year but I'm confident in our o-line and running game. 34-21 with Folston having a big game. Go Irish!

Trying to talk the wifey into Rodbenders Wings.

 

[nathans8823]

Rodbenders Wings.

Where is Rodbenders at? Never heard of them

Where is Rodbenders at? Never heard of them

It's a local restaurant in the Miami neighborhood of Cutler Bay. It's mostly seafood but they have really meaty wings. Get em naked with the sauce on the side. Really worth it.

Big night I still think Notre Dame will win but most likely not the same a$$ kicking they handed out last year.

as long as kelly thinks it's smart to jerk kizer around when he's obviously one of the best q-backs in the game we can expect a jerky offense and 2 pissed off q-backs.
kelly hasn't learned a thing in 5 years.

The offense has looked better with Kizer on the field and the first drive of the 2nd half proved it as well if Kizer doesn't play the rest of the game I really don't know what to say. At the end of the day Van Gorder needs to go and needed to go after last year because we are seeing what his defense is.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

I don't care who the fuck the QB is....this defense is worse than last yr and we have the same shitty DC as last yr. No fucking pass rush. No CB who can cover dog shit.....And let keep switching QB's cause I am a fucking stupid ass HC who has to have his way and not change a god damn thing...

agree the defense is still a van gorder defense and kelly stuck with him this year despite the obvious ... same as he's trying to do with malik. as good as kelly has been compared to recent nd head coaches, he still leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[poewelch84]

Well great game for Texas they played better and played to win. Kelly flipping QB's probably cost the team the win, not to mention Van Gorder's terrible defensive scheme the guy shouldn't even be allowed on the plane back to South Bend.
