We gotta double up both Robert Woods and Marqise Lee.

 

[ickythump1225]

We need a stop here. They are moving the ball with absolute ease.

Stanford punishing UCLA. Johnny Football playing for the Heisman...suspect Manti would prefer a NC.

 

[NDdomer2]

Our corners have been pretty good. Not concerned very similar to Oklahoma.

Then they just kill us on the ground. The only way ND wins is if they score TD's on just about every drive as this USC offense even minus Barkley is carving up the Irish defense.

I agree. Jackson and Russell have been decent thus far

 

[South Jersey Domer]

This 4 man rush trash needs to come to an end

Bob Diaco allows this, what we do not want is to allow the quick, touchdown bombs. What we need to do is just to stop the running game of Curtis McNeal and Silas Redd. Those 2 penalties are killing us this drive.

 

[Rocky2820]

Tough matchup on the perimeter is showing itself on this drive. Giving cushion due to the deep threat, which is letting the frosh pick us apart short. This is why it's critical for our front 7 to be able to contain the running game.

Hold 'em to 3 here and let's get the ball back.

Umm give it some time. Remember the Okalahoma and Miami game? Our defense wasn;t so hot in those games either. They will adjust

[South Jersey Domer]

Great, we allowed a redshirt freshman making his first start to throw to Robert Woods.

 

[Leonard15]

This game is over guys as the ND defense can't stop this! I'll change the channel before the crowd starts to storm the field! It's a curse to be #1 as I say this coming a mile away!

 

[ickythump1225]

Well that was easy.

I mean, that's the plan, right?

You sound like a fun guy to hang out with.

 

[South Jersey Domer]

Our secondary will be better next year.

But for tonight, USC gonna score on us, it will all depend on how well we can score on them.

Leonard, you need to chill, man. What do you think their fans are thinking about their D so far tonight??? They got NFL-caliber playmakers on the perimeter - you can't expect our D to completely shut them down.

 

[Leonard15]

You sound like a fun guy to hang out with.

Not fun to be with tonight as not liking what I am seeing and not confidence. The Irish need to consistently score in order to win and I don't think their offense can match USC's blow for blow.

You have gotta be kidding me. We are still leading 10-7 and you want to leave?

Give us a break.

 

[South Jersey Domer]

Watt and Cave opened up a hole you could drive a truck through.

Why be here then lad ?

Hit the bricks .

 

[South Jersey Domer]

Quick first downs, keeping SC's offense on the bench, and tiring out SC's defense?

Me likey.

 

[fortwayne_nd]

Defense has been there all year. Tonight, the offense needs to play championship caliber football.

 

[irishpat183]

Keep feeding Theo. Cierre looks uncomfortable.

Go with what works

 

[South Jersey Domer]

We are already in field goal range...nice catch Riddick.

 

[Saint Shamrock]

Genuflect to # 5 .

 

[irishpat183]

THEO!!

Dude, feed the beast

 

[CanadianIrish]

Riddick looks great tonight.

 

[South Jersey Domer]

Beautiful cut by Theo Riddick

He doesn't want to come out and I don't blame him.
