Pretty good half. I mean Stanford had the ball i don't know for how long and we're only down 1. Aside from that fumble, loving what I'm seeing from the team. Go Irish.

Blanton is the only quality tackling cb we've had under Kelly. It isn't just becuz of BVG, but whatever u think bro.

P.s. BVG doesn't coach the corners

He calls the plays and send Farley on a useless blitz that leaves a whole portion of the field open doesn't?

Haha, and everyone bitches when ND goes conservative close to the end zone/red zone. Trusts them to make a play at he end of the half and Kizer chokes on a big one worse than Flutie does.


Kizer needs to be smarter. No one was open. Throw it away. If that is the reason we go conservative in the red zone then we are fvcked either way.

We are 0-2 for TDs in the redzone. And we are down by just 1. We have yet to punt. And we get the ball after half. Not a horrible position to be in.

I guarantee every Irish fan was screaming "Throw it out the back of the endzone"

He wants to make a play, believes he can make a play.

The way we are moving the ball we certainly could. Then I remember our tackling and RZ issues.

We aren't blowing these guys out.
BVG has typically made some good 2nd half adjustments. We have a good shot as long as that fumble didn't take the wind out of the team's sails. Which I'm guessing it didn't.

I've felt all along our best chance to win is to get something on special teams, no t give them anything on special teams, and win the turnover battle. If we win the turnover battle we'll win. If we don't at least draw even then it's gonna be tough

Just disappointing. I felt the ONE thing we had to do to win was not turn the ball over. Just fucking protect the ball and we win. Ughhhh!

If the turnover battle is even or in our favor we win the game.

Much more optimistic about winning this game than before it started.

Come out and smash 'em the the second half.

In retrospect, kind of wish we'd spiked the ball after the long run. With no timeouts would have helped to get out heads clear.

On the other hand, maybe Kelly thought we'd catch their d gassed. But then th4ey would have just taken a timeout.

Yeah his adjustments aren't my concern, its the tackling on the back end, which hasn't changed all year.

We gta find ways to get TDs in the red zone but I guarantee you Kelly is gun shy with Kizer right now.

Calls a great play vs an all out blitz and Kizer panics instead of standing in there.

Then instead of throwing it out the back, he tries to scramble with very poor ball security and we lose our chance at a 2 for 1 and being up 2 possesions to start second half.

At least it was only the kind of turnover that costs us points, and not the kind that costs ND possible points and adds points to Stanford.

Outside of that terrible Butler no tackle I thought our tackling was pretty good in the first half.

McCaffery picked up two early 3rd and shorts/meds on scoring drives we had stopped but couldn't hang on.

I'm most concerned about the RZ O for sure tho.
