Duke postgame

[InKellyWeTrust]

On the subject of refs: Am I totally blind or was the ball on the picked up flag clearly catchable? I understand Tobias didn't do a great job fighting back through the CB (AGAIN), but it bounced within five yards of Tobias for shits sake.

I thought the same and was screaming at the TV. Also targeting...wtf? Refs were horrible.

A win is a win. we know elko is a good coach and that defense was ready.

Did not want to leave it to the kicker, but hes seems better from left hash, i think thats why estime started that run left, then cut back.

riley's injury is on the refs, bs calls all night kept it close, I think its a 2 score game if they dont review the punt, and grant a garbage targeting, and pick up flag on tobias Pi

Can we take transfer receivers mid season?? Yikes

If we can't get Thomas and Greathouse back quickly we need to look at options for Merriweather's spot. He literally can't catch. Tyree is basically invisible what's up with that? Can't get open or we never target him. Probably the former.

I agree with that, the same way I did with the play earlier in the season. The back judge/side judge threw the flag for a reason. Don’t let an official with a different and arguably worse viewpoint talk you out of it.

It was borderline but certainly could have been a PI. We got zero calls from the refs tonight.

You guys realize Duke will be like 7-5 at the end of the year now that they've likely lost their QB?

Neither are your posts. Yet here we are.

We got that PI call on the last drive. I couldn't believe it. But they did their best to even it out by throwing one on that receiver we have that can't catch.

Haha, internet tough guys

7-5 without their “NFL 1st Rounder” at QB would speak to the fact that their remaining dudes are at least decent…

 

[PutuporShutup]

This staff has to look in the mirror and look at some player changes

The D looked like last year, giving up end of first half drive, but we got lucky they missed a fg, then not being able to stop the run late

Harper was bad at nickel tonight, betrand missed so many tackles or was like normal, a step late

On offense, we need better than zeke and I’m worried at how bad roco played, I thought he turned the corner last week

Parker is struggling, Knowles and Elko basically knew exactly what he’s calling, Ohio state luckily couldn’t stop our run for a bit. We are absolutely putting no pressure on defenses

So? No one is going to be holding a close Duke game against us in November. This game was nothing but a season ender if we lost. We didn't, so now it doesn't matter.

 

[anarin]

I'm confused, so they aren't good because their qb got hurt on the last play of the game for their offense?

Or are you saying cuz their team will struggle going forward thus hurting notre dames sos?

 

[Wild Bill]

They aren't very good

Without their QB they'll probably struggle. With him they probably would have won 9 or 10 games.

Nothing tough about calling you out for shit tier posts my guy

Last week
An emotional loss
This week
An emotional win

I pray Freeman and Co use this as a turning point. I think they learned a lot about themselves tonight (learned a lot of bad, with some good resiliency)

Ref deemed it uncatchable upon seeing it was thrown to Tobias.

 

[stlnd01]

They're a better-than-average ACC team. Stout D. A dual-threat QB is basically their entire offense. If he's hurt for any length of time, yeah, they're screwed. But they're off next week and if he comes back OK after that they probably go 8-4/9-3 something like that.

Good night all!

I'll go ahead and admit I don't know football if Rylie Mills is really grading out as a top 5 DL in CFB.

The rest of us have known this about you for quite some time Ding!


Just busting your chops

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

I'm saying this win will be nothing at the end of the year. Top 20 on the road? Not how it will be remembered

I would venture to say we are better, by a decent margin, in nearly every position group and yet still our coaching staff found a way to let them stay in the game.

Do we drop in the polls tomorrow?

No. Will move up a spot.

 

[Lberry]

On a more serious note, it's hard to say this when he did score the winning TD, but if Pork Chop is just going to keep running him all game into the backs of the Interior, Love needs more carries. Every time Love touches it is a positive play and there's sections of the game where Estime and the play call aren't it.

 

[MacIrish75]

Nah I think we probably either stick or replace Utah at 10. Only maybe Bama jumps us.

I hate picking on players, but this is some funny shit

 

[DillonHall]

I think we'll be ranked 10 or stay at 11

Bold. I like it.
