Need a TD as our kicker sucks!

Easy pal. He's ours.

 

[Rocky2820]

Great touch throw to Niklas.

 

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

Niklas!!!!!!!!!!

 

[irishpat183]

Whew....great drive.

Eat that clock

 

[irishff1014]

Nice throw and catch.

 

[RallySonsOfND]

Alright. good TD drive gotta do it again to open the second half.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

HERCULES!!

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Nice play! Troy's 1st TD?

 

[ickythump1225]

Excellent drive there! That was just what we needed. A long touchdown drive to demoralize BC, wear down their defense, and give us momentum heading into half. And we get the ball at half. Great stuff by Golson.

 

[BGIF]

Nice touch on the pass!

That play should be used almost every red zone drive. But it isn't.

 

[yankeeND]

Hope that's the start of things to come! Way to go Troy!

 

[South Jersey Domer]

Good first half

Would like to see better playcalling on defense from Diaco though. But I like how we only held BC to a field goal.

 

[Saint Shamrock]

Spaz sucks .

Fired .

 

[BGIF]

ND +6 minutes TOP.

They got some yards but our D always seems to man up when they get inside the 40 and for as bad it felt they only scored 3.

 

[IrishFan4L]

Hope ND has a huge second half.

 

[RallySonsOfND]

Second half is our time. Their defense is already showing signs of tiredness, gotta keep the momentum going into the second half!

 

[GreenSox04]

correct me if I'm wrong but did brent say our fellas don't even know bama lost?

Kelly was asked if he told the team about Alabama, and he said no that he wasn't going to tell them.

 

[South Jersey Domer]

correct me if I'm wrong but did brent say our fellas don't even know bama lost?

Our players will know soon enough.

 

[Saint Shamrock]

Love how the "super fans " give the Irish shite as they walk off the field .


Oh and clicked over to see about K State , up big , 23-0 over TCU .

 

[ickythump1225]

Second half is our time. Their defense is already showing signs of tiredness, gotta keep the momentum going into the second half!

We've had 3 long, physical drives so far. Two of them resulted in TD's the other one was the fumble but I believe we had drive about 70 yards on that drive too.

With the way this game has gone I don't know that we'll make it to the 40's or 50's but that's not really our M.O. this year anyway. I think we get into the mid-30's and hopefully hold them to nothing more than another FG for a pretty big win.

 

[irishff1014]

Good first half

This the worse team on our schedule and we are up 11 points. Nice ending drive but over all nothing to get excited about.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I'll tell ya. We always seem to play to our opponents. Crazy.

It's College Football man. 18-22 year old student-athletes competing. Nothing is guaranteed every win is big. Survive and advance. I don't care if we do it by 3 or 30. Just keep winning. This fan base has seen to many heartbreaks over the last couple years(South Florida, Tulsa, and Syracuse) just to name a few. Enjoy the wins.

We're winning. We were never going to jump an undefeated Oregon or KSU so we need to just keep winning and let the other teams play their games and hope one of them loses. I'm sure Alabama would take an "ugly" win today. Just keep playing and scoring and don't worry about "style" points.

 

[Irishbounty28]

We are not playing to our opponents. We are dominating this game in most phases. All of you that want a blowout win are searching something that won't happen. We will eat the clock and win with around 30 points. We have the most drives of over 5 minutes in all of FBS! This shortens the game. No matter what the score, we are dominating.

 

[Irish Fam]

They have been running elaborate misdirection plays all game. Our defense is designed to bend not break... They gave up 3 points. Not worried at all about the defense. Plus, it is good for us to see this in a game before USC and our bowl/NC game.

The offense has moved the ball incredibly efficiently converting every 3rd down thus far. We are getting a chance to run a lot of plays which is something I believe Kelly wants to do.

Only real negative for me would be the penalties. Have to shore those up.

We will come out in the second half and hit a big play or two and roll. All is good my dudes.
