Notre Dame Game Day Thread

1- INT by Dungey
1- INT by TD
1- INT by Harris
1- TD drop by Johnson
1- TD drop by Harris

And an O-Line that can not block anyone.

Defense held up as long as it could.

That’s the first time I’ve seen Pierce today. He was held.

I think it’s pathetic, such a highly touted player, comes here and isn’t even used. I would put him in the slot and make those LB earn their scholarships every week.

 

[OrangeDW]

Not a big deal but I think 7 would make a big difference. Kick an onside kick and maybe the ball bounces our for once and we get it. All of a sudden it just breathes a little life and hope into the game.

Frankly I think that ship had already sailed.

We just need to score.

 

[Ozzie0075]

Did they ever say what happened other than upper body injury? I thought it just looked like muscle spasms.

Looked like ribs to me but who knows.

 

[cuse522]

Go for it...why? 29-7, 29-3...who cares. We were trying to not get shutout.

I believe in bunting to break up no hitters too.

The message kicking that FG sends to the team is, "I don't think you guys are good enough to get the TD here OR good enough to put together another drive to go for points."

Playing not to get shutout there sends the message that you fully expect them to fail to score points if you give them a chance. It does not improve confidence. Go down swinging.

So, looks like we're gonna finish 9-3 on the year. Anyone want to bitch about that?

I'm not sure, though I'm hopeful. I had them going 5-7, so I'm definitely not going to bitch about it regardless.

One more before the bowl. Very proud of this team. Want to see them finish strong and continue to develop.

10-wins is still achievable. That’s pretty remarkable.

You think @BC is a gimme???

Thrilled with 9-3.

 

[Ozzie0075]

BC is going to be a very tough game possibly without Dungey too

They look awful right now up 7-6 on FSU in the 2nd half.

 

[OrangeDW]

I did think he’d be a big part of the passing game this year. Surprised it never happened. I think he had one game with a ton of catches last year. Beyond that, he’s been an occasional red zone threat or dump off guy.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Bama vs ND in the Championship. Calling it now.

 

[Mayhem_OJ]

I hope we show up against BC. 9-3 isn’t so bad

 

[hoopsupstate]

Today’s team will not win at BC. Hoops and football left their offense in Syracuse. Pretty sad.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

It was always going to be a tough game. They curb-stomped us last year.

 

[bcubs9497]

I like our chances. Certainly more so than 2-3 years ago.

SMH, we’ve kicked like 30 field goals this year. What are you talking about?

Do we really gotta get all dramatic and psychological? He just wanted to put 3 on the board.

 

[PhatOrange]

Agreed.

 

[orange79]

Looked like ribs to me but who knows.

Grabbed his lower back as he fell. I think he got twisted in the pile on the play before.

 

[JOC44]

Big difference in receivers. Theirs catch everything, ours don’t even catch all of the perfectly thrown balls.

Uh, yeah, no.

 

[bcubs9497]

BTW, ND won because of Clark Lea. That guy is a genius.

 

[Ringostar57]

Evidence evidence evidence evidence....screw faith

 

[DomeStranger]

We just need to score.

It probably did, but kicking the FG was conceding with 8 minutes left in the game. I you got the TD, your down 3 scores with 8 minutes, not impossible to come back from even if highly improbable.

 

[phil77]

Offensive line has been so so so bad
