What’s your fucking deal. I hear nothing from you until you come in and act high and might about people pissed off when something goes bad. Motherfucker if I could get you at a god damn irsay ymca. Think your so cute when u go to the healthy place for people to whine about their sports team losing and think it is cute to piss on it. How about we piss until your hobbit hole is flooded out and then you fucking drown in it.
And some of you wish to ban me…

Did you not see him throw several balls into the dirt? Maybe I'm hallucinating.
His performance was on par with CJ Strouds for a bulk of the game, as a FIRST time Starter, on the ROAD. This isn’t even taking into account the limiting factors at receiver. There isn’t a ton of talent at receiver no matter what everyone wants to believe. Lenzy wouldn’t play on most top 25 teams.

It's not that OSU will be great on defense, but they have elite talent to play with so they *might* be good. It's that Notre Dame's quarterback play is a HUGE variable and the same shortcomings of previous years are still here: lack of interior run game (Patterson being hurt doesn't help) and a WR corp that cannot get separation.

I pulled the 31-3 out of my ass as a reference to the Clemson playoff game wherein the Irish were beat 30-3. Is Ohio State's defense Clemson good? Hell no. But I think the Notre Dame offense could be ranked around 50ish if Buchner doesn't show significant passing improvement from his true freshman campaign.

Everyone wants to say Knowles won't turn it around immediately... but are we to forget that Notre Dame was 79th in rushing ypg last season?

I'm a Doubting Thomas for Notre Dame's offense until proven otherwise. I think OSU can guard WRs one-on-one well enough to blitz Buchner and/or stack the box. It's pretty obvious that Rees has to get the TEs and RBs split out so much to take pressure off of this inevitable defensive mindset. But great, you've split Mayer and RBs out, can Buchner actually go through his reads under the pressure they will bring? It's just a lot to ask and I would not be surprised if they fell flat on their face week one.
bump.
 

GATTACA!

It's about to get gross

I don't disagree with any of this. It also doesn't change the fact that he had several terrible throws because he's inconsistent. He's not going to be consistent with his funky throwing motion.

That play call changed the entire game. Still don't understand it.

Lots of things we are gonna have to iron out on offense, but I don't expect the O-line to be this bad again all year. I expect us to still be in the top 10 come Tuesday.
Offensive PI was a big play as well.

Inconsistency, by a first time starter, on the road, as a sophomore? Who woulda thought. Still has nothing to do with his throwing motion.

The guys play a more talented team to a draw until about 8 minutes to go and we:
Need a new QB
Need a new OC
See that MF is overmatched.

Did I miss anything?

Shoulda laid a stack... then you'd have had a Money Victory to go with your Moral Victory.
