Quick update from the stands - the card only concession stands are a train wreck. Card machines not working at multiple stands, and we’re all hungry/thirsty.

 

[Dale]

Thank you for your service but JD Bertrand is gonna return to third string MIKE and WILL. Junior and Kollie are your backups.

Junior looking good out there?

Junior looking good out there?

He's been great. LBs have been a huge highlight

Yeah I got halfway through one of the lines before someone turned around and said they were out of hot dogs, brats, and nachos 😐

 

[NDBoiler]

Offense - RBs have all looked pretty good, receivers not so much since no one can get them the ball accurately

Defense - looks good overall, multiple sacks that were not called, good DL and LB play. Brandon Joseph looks like a great addition.

ST - punting = pile of shit.

 

[pumpdog20]

Seemed like MFMF had to tell the defense to chill a bit there after awhile. Offense, woof

 

[notredomer23]

Price is going to end up being the best back at ND in a long time

 

[Dale]

Price is the most all around back on the roster

Tyree might be faster, Diggs might have better vision, Price feels like can put it all together though more than any

 

[Irish4life]

Price is explosive as hell, the LBs are gonna be really good, Mills looks good, Pyne is the backup QB.

 

[IrishLax]

Price is going to end up being the best back at ND in a long time

Sure seems like it. Hope it’s not the Junior Jabbie effect.

 

[IrishLax]

Marcus Freeman is the man. Just love the way he approaches things and how he talks. I really hope he wins.

 

[Irish4life]

Sure seems like it. Hope it’s not the Junior Jabbie effect.

Wasn't Jabbie a walk on senior though? Feel like that's a different situation than an EE true frosh making big plays happen.

 

[arahop]

Pyne is a kid I won't knock on he's 5'8 maybe. But I won't hear any Pyne for QB1 nonsense. With all the practice reports about his decision making and interceptions it's a non argument. ND definitely needs to see if they can secure a serviceable backup or someone to push Buchner. Pyne isn't QB2 material.

Really happy with the defense. That said, it's easy to key in and tee off, when the passing attack is a non factor.

 

[Luckylucci]

I’m watching on my phone so hard to watch and post at the same time but ST’s is total ass. Brian Mason had me at hello but he’s going to lose me with this shit.

 

[INLaw]

Is styles not playing in this?

 

[stpeteirish]

Better get a damned kicker. These two guys suck

 

[Irish4life]

Angeli has a pretty good arm but his ball placement needs some serious work. Getting our receivers killed out there.

 

[Dale]

Someone pissed off Ryan Barnes lol

 

[Luckylucci]

those were a couple of great shots for Barnes.

 

[Dale]

Angeli is confident in his decisions

 

[clashmore_mike]

Angeli with the walk off!

 

[Luckylucci]

I’ve liked Angeli’s handling of the RPO. He makes smooth and quick work of it. Looks very natural. Awesome moment for the young man. Though I would’ve liked to see him drive a couple balls downfield to see what he puts on em

 

[Irish4life]

Angeli looked pretty good, if he can improve his ball placement, he's gonna wind up being a good one.

 

[Dale]

Is Buchner or Angeli starting in Columbus?

 

[Luckylucci]

In all seriousness, after the disaster today that was Drew Pyne I think you have to entertain the idea that Angeli is competing for backup QB.

National somewhat known ND hater opinion:



screw the picture but interesting to hear a national guy who likely had no idea who Price or JR was confirm our Kool aid green eyes

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Estime and Price looked the best today but Diggs just lacked burst at times. Shame to see Tyree experience some pain after his last carry in the 1st quarter, probably very minor but I wanted to see more of him as well. If I'm choosing a RB pecking order it's:

1: Tyree
2A: Price in long drives
2B: Estime in short yardage and goal line and occasionally longer drives.

But it's unfair to demote Diggs too much based off one performance.

 

[stpeteirish]

I don't know how you can trash the special teams when there are are obviously no runbacks allowed. There a difference between kicking and special teams.

The kickers suck. We don't know a damned thing about the rest of the special teams.

The guys who will compete for the punting job in the fall aren't here yet. But the kickers are.
