Sept 23 | Ohio State

[Irish#1]

As MF said yesterday, it’s Ohio State week! Really looking forward to this game. Especially since we have a QB.

 

[OhioIrish]

Right now, my only concern is whether we can get open efficiently in the pass game. If not, it’ll be a struggle. Sam won’t have the luxury of sitting back, perusing the field, then throwing it away next week. Holding the ball will lead to sacks.

 

[Johannes]

Fuck it, I believe.

Has anyone been to College Gameday recently? I haven't been since 2012. I would like to stop by during tailgating but if I have to get there at 6 am to enjoy it that's not happening

 

[JD Irish]

In for this game. First time since the 2011 season, my senior year. Section 107.

He did yesterday, but I thought he did because he had the time to.

Can the offensive line play their most complete game? Can Parker have a game plan that has some easy release valves if tOSU comes in blitzing early?

 

[MacIrish75]

All I ask is that we don’t run some gimmicky trick play that either stalls a drive or ends up in a turnover.

I think the o line and offense is gonna be ok. The d line and lb’s worry me.

-No pre snap penalties.
-Always have a back ready for a quick check down under pressure.
-No blitzing from 10 yards deep.
-Play fast.
-Arrive at the ball with mean intentions.

Wife had a friend over and we talked about Notre Dame Football. He said he has season tickets and selling his OSU tickets made buying season tickets worth it… I stopped talking to him at that point. I hope you aren’t on this board Greg… but you suck.

 

[Fbolt]

Fiscally responsible-haha

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I'm going to assume that Freeman wants this game more than any of us. And I want ND to beat these Choochfuckers BAD.

same for the OSU QB when he has nobody open due to one of the best CB duos in the nation in Hart and Morrison not allowing him to have open WRs down the field.

 

[Lberry]

Gather your green now.

Does OSU have any notbale injuries or are they at full bore?

 

[OhioIrish]

Yep. He did the same against NC State and was sacked 4 times with 2 fumbles. I suspect OSU will resemble something closer to NCSU.

I think the ND secondary is the best OSU will face all year. That said, OSU still has the advantage there, imo. They will get open, especially if we can’t produce pressure. I am thankful that we have a pretty complex blitz scheme to throw as McCord.

We need one of those units to play better than okay. If our OL or DL is the best unit on the field Saturday, then I really like our chances. if the OL takes turns getting beat and the front 7 on defense take turns missing tackles and failing to capitalize on pressure, then it's going to be a high-stress evening.

Last point… I would prefer they actually tackle vs fly in head down and only use shoulder with no wrapping up

My name is Greg, and I agree, Greg sucks!

 

[tko]

no roughing the passer penalties.

@gregm83 does also. Can confirm.

 

[NormND_44]

A couple of guys I think will play outsized roles in what ends up as a 4 pt Irish victory:

Jadarian Price
Holden Staes
Thomas Harper
JJB

Bonus: J Love gets a score

 

[NDdomer2]

Last two games have had quite a few avoidable penalties. Can't have those this week.

OL and DL play win this game.

 

[Fbolt]

Was going to write some points but it seemed like Captain Obvious. Go Irish!

 

[SDIrishFan]

Will it be Big Integer refs? Please not ACC

 

[EvilleIrish]

SP+ has us 4 overall and a one point dog this week.

 

[Huntr]

MGM has OSU -3.5

 

[Luckylucci]

My extremely biased opinion is we have Hartman and they don’t. We win.
