Oben went to Duke and ND. I thought you were smarter than that.

 

[Irishdawg]

Idk why he shoved him. Completely stupid and well deserved flag

Yep, pure frustration

 

[NDFan8349]

Oben is a dumbass

 

[T-Boone]

I'd take Obens degree / NIL for that. I couldn't forgive that as a coach or an institution. Worst ive seem as an ND fan. What a dope.

 

[Irishnuke]

These refs are ridiculous!

It was blatant. If that was RL and they didn't call it you'd lose your shit.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

Needed a fast stop, and that wasn’t it. It’s tough to believe Golden checked out on us when it mattered most.

 

[CANONIZEFATHERSORIN]

Gentlemen this is step one. I maintain confidence that Marcus freeman can get us there in the next five years

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Oben you stupid motherfucker.

Does going to Duke really mean much if you are an athlete? At least in modern times

 

[BleedingGold]

I have to admit, as much as I like Riley, I’m ready to move on from Duke transfers.

 

[Irish4life]

Would be so much easier to accept if this team just got Alabama'd off the field. Just constantly shot ourselves in the foot at the worst possible moments. Margin of error is slim to none in the NCG. Really, really sucks...but there's a lot of young players on this team that got valuable experience. I truly remain optimistic going forward with the program and with Coach Freeman.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

It was a big mistake to push Howard there, but how can they call that at this point in time?

 

[KMac151993]

Is it speculation or did Golden really check out?

 

[OrlaNDomer]

We needed the dumb penalties and some luck to go our way to win. It’s been the opposite.

 

[IA4irish]

I mean it was significant…

Completely agree. One of my favorite moments of the season. Just ironic that that is literally the only good play I can remember

 

[Irish du Nord]

Part of me is upset at the rule, probably because I played defense and I don’t like that the rules confine defenders so much. But I know he knew not to do that

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Count me in as one who thinks Golden half checked out in preparation for this game

 

[IA4irish]

Is it speculation or did Golden really check out?

That has to be speculation

 

[no.1IrishFan]

As mad as I want to be at Oben, they would have got the 3rd and 8.

Except Mensah after next year…

We have not played the ND sound game we needed to play.

It means less than going to ND but more than going to Ohio St.

 

[Riddickulous]

Oben has been a massive disappointment relative to the excitement when we landed him

 

[MacIrish75]

That has to be speculation

It is evidenced-based speculation lol

 

[Irishnuke]

Is it speculation or did Golden really check out?

Eh, that's an over simplification. OSU's offense is just flat out better than our defense.

 

[dublinirish]

Is it speculation or did Golden really check out?

He’s up against probably the two best offensive play callers in CFB with a team of studs tbf

Holy shit we’re losing to a more talented team in the national championship. We’re not being out coordinated, this team has fought all year. They’re just better tonight. Cunts.

Not necessarily.

 

[CanadalovesND]

It's speculation.

If he is hired by the Bengals tomorrow, or whenever this week, then obviously his attention was not %100 on this game. Can't have that.

He's made a few poor alignments/play-calls in this game, but a lot of it is just ND getting beat 1v1, being late to diagnose, or missing tackles. Can't say "Golden checked out" on that basis only.

You absolutely have to call that penalty. That was so blatant
