50 vbucks says Bowden calls a 3rd down running play, and then thinks about what to do

 

[IrishLax]

Devin Gardner just looks horrible. Making me realize he just got incredibly lucky or bailed out by Gallon on a bunch of those throws into coverage.

Are they doing anything to contain his running? 2 runs for -1 yard, but an 11 yard long. I assume he ran for one and has a long sack.

So if Diaco leaves I'm thinking we get the DC from Akron pronto. Lol. Army is giving Stanford a game as well. College football, gotta love it.

To me it seems like a lack of preparation and/or motivation for big schools against nobodys. If they don't blow them out early it seems like it take a fire to be lit at halftime or adjustments in the 2nd half.

Id expect Michigan to drop 28 in the 2nd half.

 

[dang227]

Is this even the same quarterback wearing 98? He looks awful today. He already has thrown 2 picks and is all over the place.

 

[IrishLax]

SO. BAD.

 

[Luckylucci]

Our D completely fell apart last week and after seeing Akron play them better so far, I'm truly beside myself. I had much higher expectations for the unit as a whole but also each individual. With that said time to dominate the boilermakers in a truly convincing fashion. Go Irish!

 

[West Coast Domer]

Unbelievable their defense is so soft

 

[dang227]

Akron now up10-7!!!!

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I think someone that's already on the staff will be given that job

Yeah, how bad are our ILBs? I mean seriously... just how bad are they?

 

[West Coast Domer]

Michigan holds on every play I swear

My dream is that Chuck Martin goes to DC and we get Jeff Quinn for OC.

 

[JughedJones]

This is embarrassing.

 

[dang227]

They do. I was so frustrated watching their oline last week grab and hold every play.

 

[Bluto]

Yeah, how bad are our ILBs? I mean seriously... just how bad are they?

Maybe a couple of the Akron MLB's want to transfer?

 

[arrowryan]

Think so? I was thinking Cooks

 

[IrishLax]

YEP. Taylor Lewan is going to get exposed in the league once refs start calling him for it.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

So, in the (still unlikely) even UM loses to Akron, and the less unlikely event that Fordham holds their lead over Temple, ND's first three opponents look like this:

Temple:
Loss to Houston
Loss to Fordham

Michigan:
Win over Central Michigan
Loss to Akron

Purdue:
Loss to Cincinnati
Win over Indiana State

Even if ND beats Purdue today, what's their CPU ranking in this scenario?

 

[Bluto]

My dream is that Chuck Martin goes to DC and we get Jeff Quinn for OC.

Oh la la. Good idea! Although if the d doesn't crank it up doesn't Diaco's stock drop?

 

[West Coast Domer]

My dream is that Chuck Martin goes to DC and we get Jeff Quinn for OC.

Is Quinn still at Buffalo?

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

Gardner's going to run on every play now lol

 

[ACamp1900]

Relax, lets see how WE play over the next few weeks before we throw in the towel... Different teams, different match ups, different games...

 

[Luckylucci]

Yeah, how bad are our ILBs? I mean seriously... just how bad are they?

Right. I am torn between I am being too hard on the team or being shocked that we didn't play substantially better.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

The picks aren't unusual. He's actually never had a pick free game. But the lack of running until the last bit is odd.

Akron's performance (or scUM's lack thereof) just confirms our suspicion that ND is absolutely without a shred of doubt snake bitten against scUM, and the football gods absolutely hate us in that matchup every year. I dare you to come up with a more reasonable explanation, because I can't find one...

Night game at the Big House?

We certainly got our share of the breaks last year (i.e., caused a few turnovers, but were the recipient of several Denard head scratching throws). At home...at night...huge crowd....
