I wouldn't say that. We got Bad Rees in the first quarter. The o line isn't play as well as they have. And Foskey is getting held like crazy.
SC heard all year how soft their D was & now Grinch is out coaching Rees while the D is outplaying the OL.

i hate to say it but the only way we come back to win this game is if the USC QB gets hurt and has to leave the game. we have no answers for this QB
Dude he’s on pace to be under his season average per game for yards throwing. He’s gotten out of the pocket and had made so amazing throws. No way he can keep that up. Unless he’s a magician

I know being rational isn’t really the move right now, but we had a great drive to get to 10-7 and then they did what good teams do and answered with a score.

This isn’t the SC team from the last half decade. We’re going to have to start the 2H strong and answer right back.

That’s when Williams is at his best. He’s been doing that all year. The key is to get him on the ground when you have a chance.

The defense isn’t the problem with this ND team.
Exactly. They’ve held the Heisman winner to 17 TDs. Not saying they can’t ultimately blow ND out but the OL has laid an egg. I understand that SC doesn’t respect the pass and can load the box but if, in game 12; ND hasn’t adjusted or failed to prepare…that’s an ND problem.

My biggest issue is he hasn’t progressed one iota in his ability to read a defense or his internal clock. That’s the problem.
I’m def not arguing that. I completely agree with you. I’m just saying the fact he is 8-8 right now is a good sign cause he’s actually connecting with guys and making the right throws.

Reading the defense and his internal clock is a whole other problem that frankly I never see him ever getting down

We need to keep hitting him over and over. He's going to get his plays but make him pay.

Then Freeman needs to be in the referees face every time it happens instead of taking it.

They have zero advantage when it comes to utilizing the transfer portal. Don’t hate the player…hate the game.
There are at least 2-3 players on USCs roster they got from the portal that ND could never and would never be able to get and right now have no interest in pursuing in regard to the portal. ND doesn’t use it. They are their own worst enemy.

I think his point is that our handicap with regards to the portal is self-inflicted.

But that’s self-imposed. Nobody forced ND to do that.

ND absolutely could have gotten both Caleb Williams and Addison in. Who cares about the others?

They didn’t want to come here. There is a difference.

I think ND will/ have to come around on the portal process cause it’s a huge factor in a lot of top teams being good
