I think Zibby needs to quick trying to go for the strip every time and just tackle someone. He has missed at least three tackles and he is responsible for that long td. Played horrible last week too.

I wish they broadcasted the halftime show today. They're honoring Leahy's Lads and they really did big things at ND.

Very true, he needs to slow the game down instead of going full speed all the time. Let things develop and then make the hit instead of going full speed and missing the tackle.

On the flipside, he is responsible for many big plays playing this way. It's really a double-edged sword with him. If he becomes a textbook player, you lose his gamebreaking abilities IMO.

My big qualm with that play is bringing Duke on a blitz. You knew were a minute left they were going to go vertical. I'm really disliking the defensive playcalling by Minter. He's starting to wear thin on me. If there is a coach that isn't performing, it's him.

Were they giving last weeks game ball to someone from the 66 team today? I thought CW kept it and was going to present it to them.

That ND defense forget how to wrap people up. Z going for the big hit everytime, just tackle the bastards, that 88 yard TD pass made me sick.

Agree with you Svo on Zibby, he makes huge plays at times but makes a lot of bad plays at times. But I still like him at a player, good player to have on a team. Minter needs to get his act together, hopefully some of these freshman start making him look good otherwise something needs to be done.

Minter needs to? I lost count of all the missed tackles, guys lowering their head and not wrapping up.

Leahy's Lads. You gotta read the book.

guess so, by the same name?? Very hard to get ND books out here...I found a store about 50 miles out that had Gerry F's book and Charlie's new one but that's about it...

Everything's all "Dynasty" and "Fight On" out here

Yes, he is the one that sent both Crum and Duke on a blitz on that play. That's two defenders missing in coverage and it cost us. Sure, they should have made the tackle, but Minter calls these plays.

The safty blitz timing was horrible and you can place some of the tackling on coaching, but yeah at some point the players simply have to rap someone up rather than just leaping at them

I agree, you live and die with the blitz, but walls and z still should have made that tackle, you see Tom fly by with his head down going for the knockout hit, and wall's playing the ball. Just had to make the tackle and make 'em burn a time out instead of giving up the big play.

Yep, sure is. If you click on the shopping link on the navbar, then click on Half.com, you can pick up a copy of it for under $5. It's a great read!
