A very underappreciated part of MSU's success against UM last year was beating the scUM without being able to defend a pass at all. Their secondary was hot trash, a far cry from the Dantonio/Narduzzi years.

Watched back the Rose Bowl game and i know he had like 17 tackles but Utah abused Tommy Eichenberg in the passing game. Tommy has got to go at him all day
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't ND pass on Tommy? Or at least make him a lower level priority? But I agree, he's more of a Joe Schmidt kind of guy

If he wins, it's going to change everything. The story will be rewritten, the expectations will rise, the recruiting will improve, the trajectory of the program will change, and MF will be the hottest coach in the nation. He already comes off as a good dude that people want to be around, is the best recruiter in the country, likely the fittest, best dressed coach, and he's a young black guy, in a sport with a dearth of successful black head coaches. The implications of winning this game cannot be overstated. It would be absolutely insane. ND and MF are an easy bandwagon for people to support and a win would would be like pouring gasoline on what is already a recruiting fire.
I'm always struck by how many comments I see on Twitter and stories from non-ND outlets to the effect of "I've never rooted for Notre Dame but I'm rooting for this guy."

Because deep down we all know this is about to get ugly.
Lmao 😂 No..

Some of us understand that nothing turns over quicker than College Football..

We have the horses.. The only question is if MF & his staff were able to prepare them to execute.. most importantly Buchner.

I think the D will be fine.. the question is when OSU inevitably loads the box can Tyler make the adjustments & throws.. thats it.

If he does & scrambles for a handful of 1st downs it will send the D into a tailspin.

Anything???.... anyone know where Salma Hayek is spending labor day.... ??
Probably at the senior center. I have always said the aging Hollywood stars are like Chevy mustangs. They look great with a nice paint job but then you open up the hood and it all goes to shit.

I foresee quite a few early swing passes to get Tyree, Styles, Lenzy in space. They’re going to have to back off to respect that or they’re gonna get torched. Should open the run game enough to keep OSU honest at the very least. If they keep the box stacked, TB is going to cook

To be fair, he has. However, once he started at ESPN he seemed to rag on them all the time.
I'm talking Gameday though, so definitely during his ESPN career. I honestly haven't watched Gameday since the pandemic started so maybe that's changed, but while Howard and Herbstreit were taking us down a notch Pollack was calling it down the middle for years.
