No thanks. Never been a fan of moving multiple players on the line. Then you have multiple guys thinking about assignments when the D moves rather than firing out.

I'm not a fan of doing so if the line is working reasonably well but our line kinda sucks which is weird for how our offense works

You can’t shift the line around at this point in the season before the biggest game any of these guys have played. Coach em up and get them prepared for Georgia

Yes you can, if you think it will improve things.

My only point with Jagusah would be in the event he’s healthy and the event Rocco is not. Remember Schrauth is also not 100%.

From Tim Prister's Tale of the Tape on Irish Illustrated:

m speaking from second-hand stories only. I did not experience it myself, but there were plenty of reports from Notre Dame fans – and even a brief interaction with Tim O'Malley – that the Indiana fans in attendance were rude and disrespectful toward Notre Dame. That would be like Notre Dame fans going into Assembly Hall in Bloomington and disrespecting the Hoosiers' basketball tradition. So if true as to what was said about their behavior at Notre Dame Friday night, take your country asses back to Bloomington. Are you too stupid to respect the Notre Dame football tradition? Next time – although there probably won't be a next time – bring some common sense with you.

First, lol and get em Tim.

Second, did anyone who went experience anything that was out of bounds by IU fans?

This may have already been mentioned, but it felt like the IU contingent tailgating didn't go to the game. It was probably my shit luck but I was parked by no joke 4 IU cars in the Joyce lot. I have no problem with opposing fans talking their shit, but IU fanbase has taken on the attitude of their coach.

Perfect time to share this anecdote... I was in the south endzone and had 4 IU fans sitting right in front of me. After the RL interception, they were jawing all around and showing the same type of attitude I saw tailgating. Even after the X interception they still found a way to talk about how we weren't going to move the ball from the 2. Fast forward to thee play... from my point of view you could see the 98-yarder perfectly. I saw the hole open up and Beaux was in a good position to just get in the way of the corner. Once Love hit the hole I screamed "HE'S GONE!" (one of you probably heard me) and simultaneously one of the IU guys turned around and gave me a mean mug... That was until he heard the crowd and saw the jumbotron. You could see that play crush their souls and no shit-talking ensued after that. It was incredibly satisfying to watch.

Easily near the top of the worst opposing fanbases I've encountered at the stadium. I was in disbelief at first.

This isn’t new with Cignetti. There is a definite strain of IU and Purdue fans who absolutely despise how Notre Dame sucks up all the oxygen in the room.

Combine that with a lot of casual CFB knowledge from IU fans who aren’t deeply invested in the sport and you get people who latch on to the old ND talking points and you get a bunch of ignorant dipshit trash talk.

That said, the IU fans I was around were just garden variety annoying.

The IU fans in my section were very quiet. Which is saying something as I antagonized the fuck out of them the entire game!

The loudest, and possibly the dumbest, IU fan was seated about four rows behind me in our section. He kept trying to stir things up with ND fans, but no one took the bait. It was more sad than anything. Even the two IU fans sitting in front of me, who were good sports, looked visibly annoyed by him. I didn’t care all that much, but he was foul-mouthed, and I had my 7-year-old son with me. I’m no saint, so it wasn’t the end of the world, but it was just awkward because he would start screaming nonsense whenever the stadium got quiet. ND fans around us were both annoyed and secondhand embarrassed for him.

Outside the stadium, I ran into a group of IU fans asking Notre Dame fans where they could find Touchdown Jesus so they could plant an IU flag on it. One ND fan calmly pointed out that it was really high up and not exactly easy to reach. The IU fans just stared at him - he was so polite about it that they didn’t even know how to respond.

IU's fans showed up overly confident, much like their coach, under the delusion that ND Stadium would be as quiet as Sunday Mass and that the team was just a bunch of pussies with golden helmets strapped on their heads. That confidence lasted all of five minutes. Their fans were visibly blown away by the atmosphere, and their team was doomed the moment ND ran out of the tunnel. I watched IU's sidelines as ND took the field - they just stared, kind of frozen. Their body language was shit. Did anyone else at the game notice that?

The Indiana fans i talked to before the game were very confident they'd win, the only debate was did IU win close or blow us out. After the game the conversation was simply defeat. "ND just had better athletes and IU isn't there yet". So despite giving ND zero credit going into the game, I feel like at least those I talked to were happy to give us credit post game.

My interactions with IU fans before and during the game were great. Everyone seemed rowdy in a good way, maybe fueled by a few beers, but nothing crossed any lines. Notre Dame fans were just as amped so it all mixed together to create an amazing atmosphere.

To be honest, the rudest people I encountered were two Notre Dame fans sitting in my section who were positive these other Notre Dame fans were sitting in their seats. They were getting aggressive and talking about how much money they spent on the tickets. An usher came and got it sorted out (the rude fans were wrong), but it was funny hearing the comments from the peanut gallery about how everyone paid a lot for their tickets.

10 out of 10 experience.
