So are we back to a rebuild project?

[qdawgg]

Feels that way if we want to compete on a regular basis. We took a serious step backwards this year somehow. There is no game left this year that is a definite win. It feels like we have moved backwards and not sure how next year we are significantly better.

Agree with this, 6 wins would be a miracle at this point.

ND is 8th in the country and we’re not getting steamrolled. We also shot ourselves in the foot over and over again against a team that is now 4-1. Can’t we build off this?

 

[raf4488]

Nah, we just haven't really progressed from mediocre yet. Need more talent

 

[OrangeAggieArmy]

Haven't we been in "rebuild" mode since like 1998? Maybe 2001?

 

[DocFlanders]

Guessing maybe 4 wins...will be interesting to see, assuming we continue to crap the bed this year, if Shafer can make the tough hiring/firing decisions, or just goes down with the ship

 

[Whitey23]

When did they rise above? Did you see the teams without a top 25 appearance list?

 

[rocklloyd]

We've shot 10 bullets into our feet tonight. Almost impossible to recover.

how are we not getting steamrolled? we had 3 turnovers go our way and we have 3 points. it's a mess.

A hot mess

Last year: GA Tech and FSU = “steamrolled”

The tale of two QB's... One that can't throw a reception, and one that can't miss

I don't expect to beat any 8th ranked team in the country but everything has gone our way in this game to be competitive... and we aren't. We should have lost to Villanova. We looked terrible in all facets of the game against Maryland. We are a really bad team right now.

I thought we were going to build off "this" after the Villanova game. We didn't.

CMU doesn't count, clearly based on the product in the other 3 games.

Other than wake, who do we have even a chance of beating?

 

[dasher]

Stop it. We are now solid with our peer group. Teams like B.C., Pitt., maryland, N.c state, we can beat on a regular basis. We couldn't say that 7 years ago. Wew just can't compete with top 25 teams now.

We've been given every opportunity to be in this game and even the most diehard fan doesn't believe we are in this game.

Boston College. Pitt. N.C. State, the ville.

What? You can't be serious. I'm not going extremes here. This team is really bad. This has nothing to do with just this game. We are not solid with those teams. We might beat some of them but they are all better than us. Maryland proved that last week.

 

[AZOrange]

We won't beat any of them.

Are you still watching?

yeah and we beat Maryland 5 straight before last week. Those schools are not better than us. We are in the same group. It's not as bad as it seems.

 

[qdawgg]

Other than wake, who do we have even a chance of beating?

I don't know. I won't be surprised if we beat Pitt or BC but it's not a sure thing. We proved that last year that none of those games are a sure thing and I think we were better last year.

 

[qdawgg]

Are you still watching?

Yeah, a turnover and a big throw. I've seen that all game.

 

[qdawgg]

I hope some of you guys can rag on me when this game ends. And tell me I'm a complete idiot.

Pretty pumped seeing half of New York rooting for Notre dame scoring!!!
