[January 2, 2006] FIESTA BOWL #9 Notre Dame (9-2) vs #4 Ohio State (9-2)

First half defense= excrement.

All Troy Smith has to do is hold on to the ball and this game will be a blowout.

Third down, awful. Pass coverage, awful. Kudos to the run defense. That's the only thing that has gone right so far.

 

[iloveirish_12]

They are playing like shit.

 

[irishtexan]

its getting embarrassing now...our secondary is having reflections of last year with Ty and co.

Did ND even show up for this damn game!!!! The WR's can't hold on to the F***ing football. The lack of speed on this teams defense is horrible! No reason to watch the second half Ohio State wins this in a laugher. This season was a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jiggafini19]

Is there anyone on this team that can cover a wide receiver? Anyone?

Zbikowski and Ndukewe should be thankful the Buckeyes have their names on the back of their jerseys. At least they know who is running away from them.

Great job by the front seven against the run.

I'm hoping for at least one punt in this game. Maybe Tommy Z can take one back.

First 30 minutes have been extremely disappointing. All Troy Smith has to do is hold on to the ball in the second half and this game will be a blowout.

 

[irishtexan]

all tressell has to do is put 5 wideouts out and run Troy Smith, because he knows Minter will not blitz. We are going to go into halftime down 14, this is f*cking horrible. I totally expected the team to play better than this. Jesus, they played better the first game if the year. Weis better throw some chairs in the locker room and get these boys to wake up.

 

[Irish Envy]

I guess the positive is the fact our offense AND defense played terrible and they only managed to go up 14 points.

 

[irish9331]

They need to do something here, keep an extra guy in the backfield on passes, something I don't know what. I am not the coaching genius here.

 

[irishtexan]

you guys better put on your flak vests and jump in your foxholes because if we play like this in the second half, we will get beat by 35 and then the oregon f*ckers will be over here. it will be WW3.

I think they just need to come up with a couple long sustained drives that keep our defense off the damn field. Ball control should be the name of the game just like the USC game.

I'll get my "Own.T" t-shirt out of the closet in case I need to go on a banning spree.

If this keeps up I hope we get knocked way down. This team was not ready for the BCS game, I said it long ago, this is not a BCS team yet. Some players are playing really hard and others act like they don't care. This is terrible if the score stays the same I hope players start to decommit from ND because this wasn't even competitive half from ND. ND didn't stop OSU one time, two turnovers and the blocked kick. This is terrible, if they come out and score a TD to make it 28-7 this will get worse then the Oregon State game of a few years ago.

Exactly, quick throws to the outside, slants, everything. The WR's need to man up and catch the balls, how many dropped balls now? I count at least five balls that should have been caught.

Easy now, we're sounding like a bunch of Minnesota Viking fans

Decommit from ND? Huh? What? KMac, come on put the Tequilla down.

 

[irishtexan]

Oh Jesus, I Forgot Ohio State Gets The Ball At The Half

In 12 years on ND football boards, I don't think I've ever read a more disgraceful post from a so-called Notre Dame "fan".

If ND lost 107-7 your comment would still be despicable.

The only team you're worthy to be a "fan" of is Miami.

 

[BGIF]

Laws!

 

[irishtexan]

well at least the special teams showed up. does anyone else besides me think brady quinns sister wears too much make-up?

GET HER OFF OF MY TV. NO ONE CARES ABOUT LAURA QUINN AND WHO SHE IS BONING. Don't make me tell you again.

I know they have a great D, but they are holding our players TONS and getting NO calls.

Yeah, that's pretty weaksauce.

Okay D... we gave you a breather. We need a stop!

 

[irish9331]

[irishtexan]

Why the hell not, they haven't stopped them yet. Just like CW said in the BYU game, we will keep doing it until they stop us.

jesus, ambrose wooden is playing like a clown in a uniform

 

[BGIF]

Talk about game changing plays.
