Rees discussing the the challenge from Mattison’s defense | Inside the Irish

Stuff like this gets lost when you sift through pages of posts that are filled with BS like deciphering what emoticon was used... Awesome find



This brings a whole new light for me. Defn overlooked how complicated their defense is. It will be interesting to see if Golson can pick it up. This will be a real test as to how much he's progressed. Reading a defense was never a strong suit but hopefully the coaches have broken this down into it's simplest form for him

It's stuff like this why Rees COULD be a good coach and why he was able to become as successful as he was without having that top tier talent.

Pregame Six Pack: Waving goodbye to the Wolverines | Inside the Irish

Keith Arnold Sep 5, 2014, 2:53 AM EDT

... the Irish are 1-3 under Brian Kelly when you consider they’ve turned the ball over 12 times in that span, throwing nine interceptions and losing three fumbles.

...

Gardner’s played impressive football of late, throwing 17 touchdowns and only three interceptions in his last nine games. That doesn’t include his impressive performance last season against the Irish, where he threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns, all while leading Michigan in rushing.

But a look at his 2013 splits shows a significant statistical difference when Gardner plays on the road. Gardner completed 66.8 percent of his passes at home. That number dropped to just 51.7 on the road. Gardner threw for 2,089 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions at home. He threw for just 871 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions on the road.

Watching last years game, those shiny gold pants are so much better then this years. Grace is wearing the dull lifeless mustard as some call it, and they look so bad next to the bright ones.

i get that but you wrote "Grace is wearing the dull lifeless mustard as some call it"...if you are watching last year's game why would he be wearing lifeless mustard ones as you stated "Last years bright shiny pants are B E A UTIFUL"..either way MUCK FICHIGAN

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Lol ud have to ask him why he was wearing them. I believe some of the oline wore them during last season aswell. It annoyed me. So while im not a fan of this years outfit, I did take notice of fact ev1 during rice game had same jersey and pant color. That made me happy, and it obviously means ND 41 other team 13.

An hour and half outside of south bend and my heart is filling with hate. All those going to game, let's make the crowd noise the highest it's ever been.

Fuck Michigan!

I actually want him to wait a few years. Coming as someone who had to stick around my campus for a few years after graduation from undergrad for grad school, it's weird hanging out with the underclassmen in a responsibility role when you partied with those kids a few months before. I think he should wait until at least the juniors and seniors that he knew are gone. It would be more comfortable for him.

The butthurt is strong with this one.

Am I the only one that would just as soon keep both of those a-hole programs off our schedule forever? Seriously, the history there is abhorrent and there are plenty of other programs out there we can put on the schedule.

Army, Navy, Air Force, Purdue, USC, Stanford, BYU, ACC, ACC, ACC, ACC, ACC. Repeat.

Dump Army and Air Force off that list. One team that consistently cut blocks is plenty for me. I would have visions of our entire DL being injured if we played all three.

Michigan State can be in the rotation, good history there in a mutual dislike of Michigan, 4-6 meetings per decade though, not 100% of the time.

Agree USC, Stanford and Navy as the only annual match ups plus 5 ACC games.

The remaining 4 games split evenly with 2 big name match ups and 2 marginal opponents that we can force to only play us at home.

Right, I was just illustrating how simple it COULD be and how we wouldn't lose that "historic" feel without Michigan on the slate. I'd be happy to see Texas every now and then. Penn State.

 

[Rack Em]

After we curbstomp these fuckers I want to see Swarbrick wrap a dog collar around Brandon, drag him to the 50 yard line, make him eat a full Domino's pizza in front of 80,000+, and watch Brandon vomit up the garbage he sold for years.

Come on, Jack, make Brandon your bitch.

I wouldn't mind dropping Stanford and out a lessor opponent in to ease the schedule a little.

Fock Michigan!

Heard Eric Hanson (ND Beat Writer SB Trib) talking on SportsBeat this week.

Says you are basically locked into a bunch of games with only wiggle room for a couple/few weeks a year
5 ACC
USC
Stanford
Navy
and at least one with a team that will agree to not be a home & home
Shamrock series

some people have said ND should play USC and Stanford on alternate years. But if we had to drop one or the other I would drop Stanford. I doubt many Cali kids care that ND is playing in Palo Alto
