Not sorry if already posted.

Lol. great gif.

And I'm glad this thread was bumped. His game-winning Astrojuke on that touchdown run should be in the record. Good lord was that a great move. Not sure we win that game if he doesn't make that safety miss on that play, the way we were struggling in the kicking game and struggling to get in the end zone. I'd like to think we would have, but getting seven there sure made everyone breathe easier.

What does that mean?

It's driving me nuts.

Bow to your Sensei!

Atkinson III out. He did not make the trip to Oklahoma because of flu like symptoms according to ESPN.

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

Notre Dame to be without George Atkinson III vs. Oklahoma - ESPN

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Big loss.

 

[ulukinatme]

Guess the cat's out of the bag now

 

[Riddickulous]

Odds are he would have had like 4 carries for 10 yards. It sucks that we won't have that home run threat, though.

 

[Fbolt]

Cam is the next man in. GAIII, get better.

 

[felkey72]

Looks like Devonte is going to get his chance at kick returns

 

[Walter White]

Or Cam

 

[IrishFBfanatic]

Might see more of davonte in there on KR, but also some sweeps to keep the defense honest. That sweep option last week was key to the gameplan, and George's speed made it work by keeping the defense honest...I think Davonte can fill that roll against OU. Get well kid...we need you healthy ASAP

 

[dublinirish]

next man in, go get 'em Cam!

 

[NDdomer2]

I know Cam is the next man in and we all love him but this means more carries for Cierre if you ask me.

Yeah, Cam isn't getting more carries because of this. GAIII gets as many touches as he does because of his game breaking speed.

 

[rtrn2glory]

he must have been close to death to not make the trip...bad luck feel bad for em.

 

[irishpat183]

Our only true home run threat is out....great.

This is huge. Downplay it all you want. He can change the game on special teams and really whenever he touches the ball.

Relying on a freshman, Neal, that really has not been impressive, just makes it worse.

 

[dublinirish]

cierre is a home run hitter IMO

He's not our ONLY home run threat. He just happens to be the fastest. And plenty of teams have won the World Series without a lineup full of power guys. Sometimes, a ton of singles and doubles is better than home runs.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Want to see Neal and Chris Brown on KR today.

What hurts is they probably practiced all week with GA III lined up outside for ghost action and sweeps (like on the TD last week).

 

[tko]

Willis Reed tonight?

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Most likely the wanted to quarantine him away from the team.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Willis Reed tonight?

Nope, he didn't make the trip.

Oh yeah? How many has he hit this year? Or last year?

What's his longest TD run?

Lol....just lol...

 

[Rhode Irish]

It's a blow to our chances, but not a decisive one. This is why there are more than 22 guys on a football team. "Next man in" is not an empty cliche.

 

[kmoose]

Lol....just lol...

TJ Jones can get deep and hit a home run. Tyler Eifert can hit a home run. Golson has been touted as a home run hitter on these boards for over a year now.

Not having Atkinson certainly hurts, but it's not like we lost the only guy on the offense who can score. Quit whining about the sky falling.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

What's his longest TD run?

SMH....None this year but plenty last year.

I know they are freshman, but it's time to let Brown and Neal loos today.

 

[arrowryan]

Has Cierre been given the opportunities to break one open? Both of Atkinson's long runs this year were walk's in the park. Every running back on the roster could've made that a touchdown against Miami.

This just means that our best running back will get more touches. Fine with me!!
