Oct 7 | Louisville

NDWarrior · Oct 7, 2023

As many said starting last week's game, the OC and offensive staff is not putting the O in a position to win. ND is not this bad and a team that should be losing this bad to Louisville. Changes - a la 2015 - need to happen!

Junkhead · Oct 7, 2023

post game thread is up, time to move the pain

NDWarrior · Oct 7, 2023

Is there any analyst guy out there we can hire to help the O - Like a diamond in the rough Joe Brady?

Tale of the tape.

Except our roster wasn't aligned thanks to crappy recruiting years ago. Hartman plugged a whole. But there were too many to plug.

Not compared to other teams. A lot of average football out there these days.

pumpdog20 · Oct 7, 2023

Hartman definitely doesn't like playing in Louisville

Worst game since Marshall

Did all you guys erase Stanford last year from your memory?
Marshall was awful, but our starting QB (at the time) got injured during the game.
Stanford was an embarrassing performance from the first whistle until the last.

ok, it's over.

Don’t want to hear anymore about the OL. Alt is a future NFLer but the rest are a long way from prime time.

Anyone defending Marist can GTFO

None of the WR can get separation. None. Did Greathouse even see the field? The other Jaden caught one pass in garbage time and limped off after probably tweaking his hammy so he won’t be available next Sat.

Again..this OL is not good but the OC is doing them no favors w/ such a predictable play sheet. When the box is loaded, ND runs. When the box isn’t loaded, ND passes.

This performance was worse than Stanford. Atrocious from start to finish

Any worse than 9-3 next year and he needs to be shown the door.

Yeah, there is a narrow window we need to capitalize on in the post BK era where we can maintain a certain standard and be attractive for the next actually qualified head coach. I agree anything less than 9-3 or 10-2 next year and personally I'd want to move on. Don't think the administration feels that way, though... hopefully Swarbrick's successor cleans house on the football side

Time for some misery sex, 8 hours of sleep, 18 holes tomorrow, and a Jet win over Denver.

Pound it hard.

Thing is I don't know if Louisville is even that good... They likely have some losses ahead of them still. Just crazy

They aren’t. This is the Freeman Era. We talk about beating teams with better talent while we actually lose to teams with less.

It’s worse to hear all time greats and Louisville mentioned so much , definitely makes it worse . Congrats on tonight and well earned.

But Jeff was 15-10 as a starter and an also-ran and Brian went 6-6 his final year and colossally flamed out and straight busted . They’re not the fucking mannings

The best chance we’ve had at a legitimate playoff run and we’re out of half way through the season.

This… the players are getting worse every week

Sam has lost all pocket awareness and his drip backs are way too shallow.

He looked fully aware he never had a clean pocket.

He played Pyne level last night. And he is soft, you ran and slid after an 8 yard gain. Go the 2 extra yards. It’s not like you are a starter in the NFL.

NDFAN2008 · Oct 8, 2023

Holes or not Administration needs to figure out a way for ND to bring in undergrad transfer it’s amazing a team like Lousiville can basically flip their whole roster and be 6-0 nkw

Nd can, just takes more work

irishff1014 · Oct 10, 2023

Although it was a terrible performance just goes to show our fans travel and other fans fill the stands.

Can we trade coaching staffs with Louisville? Can we stop looking for sexy hires? Quit trying to pander to the players. When is Jack leaving?

It’s frustrating for people that say we need give Freeman a few years forgetting Brohm has been at Louisville a few months

brohm is groomed for this moment having this being his third HC stint. He's not even a great coach, just a good one, but good coaches make bad coaches look like fools.

Brohm had already been a HC. He's also a pretty good offensive mind.

That’s part of the frustration. A place like Louisville has a seasoned coach they don’t have to train in the job. Sure Brohm went there but do we have to wait for our prodigal son Tommy Rees to spend a few years at Grand Valley State to get our guy?

Tommy Rees ND head coach 2030

It'll be interesting to see how Louisville plays against Pittsburgh Saturday. I won't be surprised if it's a close game or Pittsburgh beats them

Correct. So is his brother who is his OC and QB Coach.

In addition to that, they have Co Defensive Coordinators with about 70 years of coaching experience combined and one of them was an HC for five years.

That's how you back ANY head coach in a program let alone a first timer such as Marcus Freeman.
