Jan 1 | Fiesta Bowl vs Ohio State

[Tejas]

Oh great, the daunting last yard to the endzone

 

[Circa]

That was targeting

 

[Tejas]

damn, targeting?

 

[EifertPower]

Don't throw the ball on first and goal here and please no false starts

 

[Irish Insanity]

I hate that Kizer only comes to play when our back is against the wall. For everyone giving him the starting job next year, this needs to be fixed.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Out of curiosity, why wasn't that targeting when Kizer was diving into the end zone?

 

[IrishinSyria]

How was that not targeting?

Can they add the call in on review?

 

[Tejas]

yay

Come on man. OSU does still have a D!

 

[Irish YJ]

well that looked almost easy...
come on d, no cheap stuff in the last 29

 

[Irish Insanity]

Kizer running is something that should've happened sooner. Like as in the first play after Bosa was sent home. It adds a whole new level to our offense.

 

[bkess8]

Man too bad that wasn't the first drive of the game!

 

[BeatSC]

Where Tf has that been all game?!

 

[EifertPower]

Here's to hoping OSU only gets 3 points here and not Stanford

 

[irishfanjho15]

Just think... Joe is gone. Get a bunch of people back from injury, and BVG might be gone... the future is bright my friend LOL

Do people really think BVG is going somewhere?

If so, why? You think he's going to get fired or get hired by someone else?

 

[NDdomer2]

Should have been throwing it all over early. They clearly are devoting bodies to help Dline.

Still gna need more than 1 stop from our Defense

 

[Irish Insanity]

Come on man. OSU does still have a D!

It's happened all year. Even our staff commented on it leading up to this game.

 

[Irishokie]

Where the hell was this FIRE and GRIT to start the game?

Coming out flat is our game plan!

 

[bkess8]

Would love to hear why you think we should keep him.

 

[NDShark]

Thank ****ing Christ we scored before half. Anyone optimistic for the second half?

 

[EifertPower]

It's extremely unlikely we win but I will be proud if we can force OSU to punt on their first two possessions of the second half

I see, but I guess I'm trying to see an up instead.

How about two possessions period in second half. We only got 1 in the first.

 

[BabyIrish]

Me too

I don't think he is going anywheres. He is Kelly's boy kinda like the Schmidt situation.

 

[Tejas]

Thank ****ing Christ we scored before half. Anyone optimistic for the second half?

Not really. First time I've felt completely hopeless about an ND in a while. I don't see our defense holding up when they run. And we can't run well enough to keep their offense off the field.

He didn't say we should keep him. He asked why people are thinking he is gone or if there have been any rumors about him going...outside of wishes on IE.

BK, on his way into the locker room - "We'll coach them up at halftime and we'll play better in the second half"

You mean you are waiting for halftime of the last game of the year to coach your reserves? What do you have them doing all year? Playing Xbox?

Nitpicking on his comments but I am pissed. He looked uncomfortable in that interview and I don't think he has confidence the defensive problems will be corrected for the second half.

 

[irishfanjho15]

I don't think ND should keep him, but I mean with avalanche of injuries it's unlikely he gets let go. Also, the way hiring and firing works in college, unless he wants to leave, he would have been let go at the end of the season and a new DC would have been hired. Also, some would argue that his best years have been year 3 of his defense, when guys can grasp all the concepts. I think he's too exotic for his own good. I mean I've said he should go numerous times, but I just don't see it happening before next season.
