They were not particularly impressive. A competent team would beat them by multiple scores.

ND beat ND.

Yay…

 

[T-Boone]

they should help us with our application into the SEC. We could at least try to get in with the same arrangement we have with the ACC and punt the ACC.

Love was seriously about to kill someone at that Presser

 

[peadeam]

I’d move Tae Johnson to start at corner and Move Gray to Nickle Gray clearly can’t handle when we play stud WR’s

That doesn’t make much sense. It’s been the slot position that’s killed us the first two weeks. This actually teams response to our excellent man coverage last year. They are matching their best receivers against our 3-4th best cover guys in space.

Well idk you can't sit there and tell me there isn't a guy that can't do any better on the roster than what Gray is putting out there, he has got burnt multiple times and when he doesn't get burnt he is getting called for a penalty

Love was seriously about to kill someone at that Presser

Hard to blame him. He came back to what he thought was a championship team. Now, the season is basically over in the middle of September.

Does anyone know why ND doesn’t use neutral conference refs? Is it contractual or what? Never really made sense to me.

Game I cannot believe we managed to lose ✅

Wasn’t sold on their D the night they beat us & I’m still not. SEC is down so who knows if they win the west but would love to face them in a rematch.

 

[NDPhilly]

I think their defense will actually be ok, it’s been better than I expected after playing us. I still expect Reed to cost them a couple games more than anything.

Not sure but either way wouldn’t ND have to have SEC refs when hosting aTm?

In regards to today, was this a Home & Home situation or did BSU agree to visit ND w/ no return? I ask b/c I assumed we’d have Mtn West refs but it was ACC officials

It’s solid but them catching ND early clearly helped them since we were breaking in a rookie QB. I can live with the Miami loss, but the A&M loss is regrettable.

BSU is a one-off

It just all depends on what the contract says. Home and homes can and do use the home team's conference officials. Most of the time it is contracted to use the visiting team's conference officials

This was a one off buy game and the home team usually always uses their conference officials for buy games

Mike Elko is by (sic) far and away a fat cabbage patch looking bitch

I swear they have to sign an oath to fellate their fellow conference members while coaching in the SEC.

 

[BeatSC]

We beat them by double digits if we play them now.

 

[2013Irish]

Between this and Rueben Bain's schizophrenic ramblings in a spiral notebook, there is plenty of bulletin board material should we get a rematch with either team in the CFP.

What did Bain write?

 

[2013Irish]

What did Bain write?

He posted a pic after the game of some notebook with things like "Fuck ND," "Fuck Jeremiyah Love," etc. I don't have IG but Fortuna and Sampson discussed it on the Independent.

To be fair, he earned the right to do so after the game he played, but it would be great drama between him and J. Love if their paths cross again.

 

[NDPhilly]

Just incredible SEC glazing by Elko. Hope MF shows the team.

Obviously we can be pissed about this all we want, but Saban even said at the beginning of the year that this is the most talent he's seen at Florida in awhile. Obviously talent doesn't translate to W's, but nonetheless.

That’s the way it was back in the Zook era in Gainesville it obviously didn’t translate to wins & Zook was fired. Meyer even gave him credit for recruiting the majority of the players who won that 1st natty under Urban at UF.
