Oct 22 | UNLV

[317Irish]

Yikes. Didn’t know that. Kyler Murray, Chase Young & Baker Mayfield aren’t tall either but they at least have other intangibles that make them a successful QB. Drew lacks those I’m afraid.

6’5” 265 DE. Bad example

 

[stpeteirish]

Weren’t they playing well (relatively speaking) when they had their starting QB? He was out those last two games you referenced. I assumed he’d be back this weekend.

Yes they were pretty good with Brumfield. He got hurt early in the San Jose game. They called it a knee injury then but on the Air Force broadcast they said he was in concussion protocol.
Air Force ran for about 500 yards vs them but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with our rush game vs them.

From Jamie’s free UNLV preview:

Another horrible run defense…the kiss of death

Potential Weaknesses

The run defense has been bad. They are 114th in EPA per rush, 128th in opportunity rate, and 112th in stuff rate. They are 90th in TFLs per game. The last two games they were destroyed on the ground. SJSU ran for 5.64 YPC and Air Force had over 400 yards.

Explosive plays against them through the air have been a huge problem. They are 116th in passing plays of 30-yards or more against. They can be attacked vertically and the depth in the secondary is shaky.

Yeah…I meant Bryce Young…much shorter. But if Drew Pyne pisses down his leg vs UNLV, I’ll take Chase Young as well.

This sounds a lot like some of the Stanford reviews I read; problem is, if teams are able to key on the run and Pyne isn't effective, it's the kiss of death for our offense. Stanford took away Mayer and it's like Pyne didn't know what to do from there. He either doensn't trust the WRs or they just don't have much rapport from what we can see on Saturday's but I hope that's changing quickly.

87 is damn good and someone who HAVE get the ball too, but it can't be your only option through the air. Would love to see Styles gain a little more confidence after a pretty shaky week; Obviously would be nice to see Tobias' role increase after last week, but have to see it to believe these hypotheticals. Jayden Thomas balls out against BYU then disappears a week later? I just don't get it.

in order to watch the UNLV game do i have to buy the peacock network or do they have a free trial?

 

[IRISHMAN]

why is ND practicing on sundays after a game?

You need Peacock Premium, so I believe you have to subscribe. It's $4.99 a month. Just subscribe for the game then cancel it on Sunday; And enjoy a couple of movies or something on the platform before it expires.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

why is ND practicing on sundays after a game?

They always practice on Sunday since Freeman took over; they get Mondays off instead.

 

[Dale]

Jayson Ademilola is GTD. Mickey is Questionable.

why? just seems strange to me having practice on a sunday.

It took me a while, I thought it was “good to…doh!”

I’ll provide a creative way for people to watch like last year.

Stream it on Twitch and pretend you're playing NCAA 2014

seems odd, considering freeman's catholic now

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

seems odd, considering freeman's Catholic now

Catholics do work Sunday, they just have to do their Sunday obligation. He may go to morning Mass.


The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains, “Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation of Sunday rest. The faithful should see to it that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, and health” (CCC 2185).

I am actually a practicing Catholic. It really depends on the person, but generally, I would assume he would try not to schedule a practice on a Sunday if there was another day it could be held on.

 

[pumpdog20]

The catholic church directly across the street from my house does their mass on Saturday evening.

 

[NDdomer2]

i cant speak to what notre dames practice schedule was like but i know how we did at the time.

Sunday - Film review of saturday, stretch, run, lift, stretch
Monday - Generally OFF, special teams has film study/walkthrough
Tuesday - Film, padded practice
Wednesday - Film, Padded practice
Thursday - Film, helmets/shoulder pads only
Friday - Film, no pads walk through

Who shows up this week? Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?

They both are quite limited on offense

 

[notredomer23]

If the defense plays how they are capable, there should be some big play potential. Robbins has rushed for nearly 600 yards at 4.7 YPC and 8 TDs. Brumfield was a 70% passer. Williams had 18 catches and 4 TDs. With Brumfield at QB, they were 4-1. Since he's been out, they've scored 7 PPG.

So you’re saying UNLV by 14+?

They are all open 24 hours a day - of course... but Mass here starts Sat night at 8p... then 5a Sun morning.... so, I'm at either dependent on game time on Saturday. 90% of the time, do Sun morning then do Men's breakfast at 8a Sun

 

[Ray “The Mule” Finkle]

Going to be hard to take anything away from this game if we look good. Did we fix our problems in 1 week of practice? We looked solid vs BYU and UNC, but that was an imposter. ND should win by 30 without coaches.

I'd like to see Angeli get some PT today.

[notredomer23]

I had a dream last night ND lost 39-35. The last time I had a football related dream with a score, it predicted the exact Clemson 2020 game half time score.

Nostradomer23 over here desperately hopes this is not a repeat

 

[tko]

Is it wrong I want Pyne to get a slight ding and have to go out of the game? I'm not talking about anything serious, but something to get Angeli on the field for much of the game.
