Navy hasn't won since 1963. Let's make sure this doesn't happen again.

let's go Irish.

I'm not sure how accurate this is but the depth chart for today's game at Rivals lists Thomas as the starting RB, Kamara and Parris as thr starting WRs.

John Ryan is starting at OLB and Brian Smith is listed as backup.

 

[Timugen]

...lists Thomas as the starting RB...

:banghead2

 

[Timugen]

ND 125
Swabbies -43

(We pound them so bad that after halftime the refs actually start taking points away from them.)

On Countdown to Kickoff they said that Aldridge will be playing quite a bit today. They didn't say if he was going to be starting or not, but during his interview JA said he could have played last week if they had a game.

 

[johnnd05]

Aldridge is healthy; he'll be the #1 guy today.

 

[GoshenGipper]

WE ARE! ND!

 

[SouthernIrish]

YEA!

YEA!

and Charlie needs to always wear a sweatshirt. much better look

 

[Junkhead]

Great to see Hughes get the TD.

 

[SoCalDomer]

I don't understand running a toss play on 3rd and 2 that requires the RB to go 10-15 extra yards before getting to the line of scrimmage versus running straight ahead. Glad we nonetheless picked up the 1st down, interestingly enough with a straight ahead run.

 

[GoshenGipper]

YEA! We have offence!

And how great was it that Robert Hughes was able to get the first TD of the game?

 

[sportallyr]

I'm really excited to see our 3-4 Defense attack the Navy offense. This should be fun. Lets go ND!!! Also, I love seeing Aldridge, Allen and Hughes get positive yards on their touches on that last drive. It's great to see the line do what they are supposed to do. Sam Young looked dominating for once.

 

[GoshenGipper]

I love it when ND wears the knee length navy socks. They look so much better.

 

[SoCalDomer]

Does that make sense to anyone? Fake FG on 4th and 15, and you end up with no points off a turnover?

Come on Irish.

 

[NDOM]

Come on Irish.

That was pathetic at best! SAD to not get any points off a turnover that close.

Come on boys.

I didn't like the call either. Yeah a TD would have been great there and if it was 4th and short I could have seen it. But I didn't like getting zero point off of a Navy Turnover this early in the game. Just take what they give you and make it 10-0.

 

[Junkhead]

NBC is having a hard time squeezing in the game with the amount of commercials!

 

[SoCalDomer]

The defensive front 7 appear to be doing a great job with their assignments, hitting and wrapping up at the line of scrimmage on the shorter inside runs.

 

[NDOM]

I'm thinking this is going to be a very close game. if we win we only win by a few.

 

[SoCalDomer]

These Navy guys are like the energizer bunny. With as hard as they seem to be getting hit, they get up and go again.

 

[NDOM]

I think that fake field goal on 4th and 15 is going to come back and bite us in the ass. Deleware scored 55 points on Navy and we are tied 7-7 in the 2nd quarter. theres no way we are going to even come close to scoring 55. Now we get the ball and we will turn it over or end up punting.

 

[GoshenGipper]

See, that's why you take the 3. Now it's tied at 7 and it's already in the 2nd.

 

[NDOM]

Nice return by Allen. I'm soooooooooooo waiting for him to have a long return or run.

 

[GoshenGipper]

I love AA's speed!

One more thing CW needs to learn about young college guys and how easy it can be for them to get discouraged. I wouldn't have thought of going for it with a veteran team, let alone this young team that doesn't need opportunities to get discouraged.

No kidding. We interupt these commercials to bring you this brief football game.

I fear you may be right.

 

[NDOM]

Kick the goddamn fieldgoal.

 

[SoCalDomer]

Was that a pump fake? Looked like some awkward dance move grin:

 

[SoCalDomer]

I'm glad we're executing, but.... I'm keeping it positive so no buts. I'm glad we're executing.

 

[NDOM]

Nice tough run by Thomas
