[October 15, 2005] #1 USC (5-0) at #9 Notre Dame (4-1)

doesn't matter. INT's are always on the QB.

I disagree. They can be on the QB, but that one is on the offensive line. Had they held their blocks, he would have gotten it off cleanly.

 

[Irish Envy]

Reggie Bush is a bad motherfucker. No much more I can say besides that. Man, if only he had come to Notre Dame.

eh, either way the result's the same. I think the QB should have a nose for who's around him though and whether or not he can cleanly get a pass off.

Either way, the Irish have to answer here I think or this one could slip away early...

 

[KMac151993]

Was Bush just putting oil up his legs?

 

[Aerosmith777]

If you're gonna call that play on 3rd down, you have to go for it on 4th and 1.

 

[Irish Envy]

We're going for it? HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.

I guess... but if you give him the customary 5 seconds, he has a clean pass right on the money. The tackle simply got beat and it cost us 7 points. I played line in high school and college and I would admit that as my mistake.

oh absolutely, its on the o-line too, but very rarely do I ever say an INT isn't on the QB at all, and that wasn't a situation where I'd say Quinn had nothing to do w/ it.

but on the upside, 4th down converted

 

[Aerosmith777]

My God Fasano has great hands. He will be the 1st TE taken in the draft, whether its this year or next.

 

[Irish Envy]

Is Walker hurt? Travis Thomas is getting A LOT of burn so far.

 

[Aerosmith777]

I dunno, I was just wondering the same thing myself. Maybe he sees Thomas as a more between the tackles type of RB, and that's what they want right now.

 

[Irish Envy]

Pass Interfence! Thanks SC!

 

[Aerosmith777]

that should be a flag...oh wait, good, it was.

 

[Irish Envy]

I will say... #90 on SC is a MANCHILD. I'm impressed by him.

 

[Aerosmith777]

geez, the wheels are coming off on the USC defense right now...2 huge penalties...

 

[Aerosmith777]

that run was a thing of beauty.

 

[Irish Envy]

TOUCHDOWN IRISH!

I'm sorry Mr. Weis, I'll never second guess you again.

 

[LuckoftheIrish86]

TT my boy!

i hope Walker is ok. I think he is. Weis probably just wants to keep DW fresh.

 

[KMac151993]

Thomas is playing well this year, he deserves the carries! Run the ball Weis dont put this thing in Quinns hands, he is not doing the job, let the O-Line carry you. Watch the 1993 ND FSU Game.

 

[Irish Envy]

TT my boy!

i hope Walker is ok. I think he is. Weis probably just wants to keep DW fresh.

I think he's like... you got Bush and White?

Who cares... we've got Walker and Thomas.

 

[gingtoad]

We need some more points!! Keep the train rollin!!!

 

[Irish Envy]

Thomas is playing well this year, he deserves the carries! Run the ball Weis dont put this thing in Quinns hands, he is not doing the job, let the O-Line carry you. Watch the 1993 ND FSU Game.

I don't think this is an accurate of fair statement.

Give any QB the time, he'll make the plays. Put pressure on them and they will often fail.

 

[dbldomer]

thats exactly what we needed. . .USC probably was only expecting walker, thomas is a great change of pace

 

[Aerosmith777]

I really think its b/c Weis is trying to control the clock and Thomas is more of a north-south runner. I'm sure Darius is fine.

 

[Aerosmith777]

that return really stings...they really don't need to be spotting USC 20 yards per possession like that...

 

[KMac151993]

at this rate USC is gonna have 70pts, this is terrible they have run what 8 plays and scored 2 times

 

[KMac151993]

This isnt even competitive on D, this is a carbon copy of the game two years ago at ND.

 

[Irish Envy]

Can I ask why we are literally stacking the box every down?

We need to get some space in between our line and backers so they can react. We had no chance to stop any of their plays the way we're lining up on defense.

 

[KMac151993]

This is teetering on being a blow out very quickly.
