Nothing else needs to be said

[Trueblue25]

Plenty can be said. Im not sold on our offensive scheme. Hope we’re shown more vs Pitt

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Sometimes you have to take off the Orange colored glasses and admit we were dominated from literally start to finish.

Or you can say for as much of a dumpster fire the offense was in the first half with about as bad a first play as you can have we were down a TD in the 4th with the ball and an unlucky tip drill interception was the big hit.

 

[SUGIANT]

It certainly cost them the drive at the time, which leads to the game… don’t know what tO tElL YoU blaaaaa!!!!

And if it had worked you’d be quiet or singing a different tune. I’m not sure I see what’s wrong with the call.

 

[SUGIANT]

I think they overcame the offensive/ defensive line domination and were right in it until that tipped interception. was it domination, I won’t mince words but at the time it sure didn’t seem like it until a couple of easy scores.

Notre Dame had the ball for 16 more minutes. That's another quarter of football.

Think all of our 3 and outs might've contributed to that?

 

[Tony DeFranco]

We desperately need to upgrade the d-line - we still have a decent team - and Del Rio looks like he could have a McNab like ceiling - well at least from a one game sample

All the crap about the 3 3 5 not needing size. You cant play run centric teams with line that gives up 50 or more pounds a guy.
We have to have a minimum of 3 kids that top 285.

What I don't get is why you would want your already undersized DL to get as small as they can in the offseason.

What?

Just like 2018, ND destroyed us on the line of scrimmage. Both sides.

I think Geer had our only sack. And it was about 30 seconds after they snapped the ball.

Imagine if ND just had an average QB.

Honey, we shrunk the DL.

Even with the 3 3 5 you need a Steven Clark, or a Chris Slayton who can destroy the middle of the line.

 

[ClkWrkOrange]

What?

Most of these guys didn't drop weight in the offseason?

 

[cali315phan]

Israel Abinakadknanaka is gonn run for like 400 yards against us unless we make some changes.

 

[kuethstheman]

Did we watch the same game? Notre Dame absolutely dominated the entire game.

Weren't dominated in the third quarter. SU stopped the run and outscored them. They had enough momentum to win the game but got derailed by the interception.

 

[OrangePA]

We got absolutely bullied and played like dog dookie.

Hope they get their bodies and heads right for next week.

And as Forest Gump, said - That's all I got to say 'bout that.

Not that simple.

Our three turnovers leading to three ND scores was the game.

 

[Bayside44]

Think all of our 3 and outs might've contributed to that?

They had 22 first downs, we had 15. I mean, teams that control the ball, control the LOS (I cannot find the average yardline that started drives but seems like we were usually pinned deeper than them) usually win.

 

[orangeinohio]

Goodbye everyone, I love you.

How are things looking today, Finwad32?
Hopefully better

 

[CuseFLA]

Our undersized D is getting gassed. Are we rotating players like most other teams? SEC teams will rotate 20-25 players on D. What are we doing?

Is this a serious question?

 

[Chip]

Not that simple.

Our three turnovers leading to three ND scores was the game.

I think the ridiculous call to go for it 4th and 7 with the one legged QB that gave ND 20-30 yards of field position (and they scored) should get added to that.

Aggressive 4th down calls don’t always bother me, but that one did given all the variables.

 

[OrangeDW]

No. Just in the first half when we were playing short handed.

Once we put a healthy QB in it was anybody’s game.

We played 21.

Is it though?

Yes, ND ran for a lot of yards and controlled the ball….but ultimately they only gained 380.

Guys keep getting hurt and our D keeps holding their own.

ND scored 41 but that includes a pick 6 and a blocked punt that gave them the ball inside the 5.

Basically they scored 27 on our defense while starting with gold field position almost the entire game, and with our offense going 3 and out for an entire half.

I keep expecting our D to wear out, but I don’t feel like I’ve actually seen that so far?

Hopefully we’ll start the healthy QB and he’ll play great and we’ll give our defense some help next week.

In years past we’d either play an ineffective, injured QB or a walkon and the wheels would fall off the whole team. Hopefully this will be the year where we finally prove to have depth on both sides of the ball and scrap out a couple more W’s.

 

[PhatOrange]

We played 21.

Bees can you tell me how many snaps Sparrow and Roon had?
