Nice run Adams!

We are getting zero push up front.

 

[gkIrish]

Give us a chance D. Let's get a turnover

 

[Irish Man3]

TD baby!! Let's go Irish!!

 

[Booslum31]

Sweet drive!

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

thank god!!! way to rise up.

 

[BeatSC]

How about that!

 

[Irish Insanity]

I really don't know shit about the specifics of play calling, but that drive compared to the first 2 of the game were night and day.

 

[phgreek]

D needed that...

 

[Booslum31]

DEFENSE!

 

[DillonHall]

I really don't know shit about the specifics of play calling, but that drive compared to the first 2 of the game were night and day.

Execution was just much better

 

[dang227]

Needs that big time. Hope it helps our confidence. Grace will ball out is my prediction.

 

[Circa]

I'd guess blown out knee. He knew it when he went down. Had to be carried off. Eventually left the sidelines on a cart after he knee was stabilized with a brace.

This is as bad as I could imagine. Maybe he will stay now to get back in shape? Shot in the dark, but maybe an upside..

 

[Jackalope1977]

Does Jarrett have another year left? (potentially 6th)

Already got denied IIRC.

[phgreek]

didn't need newsome to have a tackle today...ugh

 

[NDdomer2]

If D can start helping we MAY have a chance

 

[bkess8]

Huge 3rd down here. Bet we blitz.

 

[IrishHokie22]

I was thinking the same thing, actually. Assuming it's an ACL, he won't be ready until mid-season at the earliest for either college for the NFL. An ACL will obviously hurt his draft stock; he went from a top 5-10 pick to probably in the 2nd half of the 1st round, IMO.

Coming back to school and getting your degree, and working your draft stock back up to the 5 with a few good games isn't the worst idea in the world, IMO.

 

[phgreek]

TACKLING!!!!

 

[phgreek]

again TACKLING

 

[irishfanjho15]

Joe "Got stiff armed" Schidmt

 

[bkess8]

Joe "Got stiff armed" Schidmt

After he dropped into coverage on no one.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I truly believe we'll be a better team next year, just for not having Joe Schmidt.

 

[gkIrish]

If OSU keeps ignoring Zeke we will have a chance

 

[BeatSC]

What I said earlier about Grace nevermind

 

[irishfanjho15]

Grace looks pretty good, the fact he can run with Braxton Miller in space is very promising for rest of game. Until he gets exhausted because he has sh!t for game experience and is going to be dragging by the fourth.

 

[dang227]

Huge 3rd down here. Bet we blitz.

And I bet they throw it right at the DL in coverage

 

[BeatSC]

We miss too many tackles. Need to add a tackling specialist to coaching staff. Is Dick Butkus available?

 

[Booslum31]

We need a Turnover

 

[EifertPower]

What is our percentage on stopping third downs? Has to be one of the worst I the country?
