BC Postgame

1. Yes
2. In large part because of the comical greed of the Big10. The propaganda is pathetic and an uncomfortable amount of teams in that league are horrible, regardless of what Joel Klatt says.

Joel Klatt is an assclown. I'm not sure anyone cares what he thinks. He's got a lot of followers on X, but they may just be fans that he's pissed off and trolled.

I agree. His spinal column in near collapse from carrying Michigan's water. Definition of company man.

Was just using him as the personification of how the Big10 gets the benefit of the doubt, regardless of opponent.

My #1 takeaway from tonight:


Cock Oswieler can suck my shillelagh. He's trash.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Saw a bunch of comments like this tonight.

 

[NDWarrior]

IU sure looks great right now and OSU is pretty solid.

 

[SportsingHard]

We won

Love seeing the Love long TD

The o line went backwards a little bit in the run blocking.

I love Freeman as the head coach but sometimes we just need to take the points. I am glad he has confidence but our execution sometimes can be lacking.

Defense played well

No need to harp on the special teams

We need to play with more discipline. We are constantly getting to many stupid penalties. Some are BS and some aren’t. And with the way the refs are calling penalties on ND the players should be aware of the close calls.

I'm so confused. "Take the points" usually means "attempt a field goal." You're not seriously suggesting ND needs to attempt more field goals, are you?

 

[IrishBryan77]

This is a game Kelly definitely would have lost most likely. We won. It was ugly but we won. I take an ugly win any day.

 

[LifelongFan]

In fairness, we fumbled on a goal line situation that left 7 on the field, we missed 2 extra points and an easy FG. Then we let time run out instead of running up the score. It’s easy to say that when you leave 15 to 19 points on the field the offense didn’t do their job.

Concerning thing is we do this every single week. The offense can't finish drives. This will hurt when we play a good team again.

Like Pitt next weekend. 🙄

 

[irish4ever]

Uh, one of the kickers did make an XP.

Let's celebrate!!!!! Geesh.

 

[irish4ever]

Red zone offense continues to suffer, and the kickers totally suck. Are all the kickers that inept or is it in the coaching (Biaggi) that has them all screwed up that they can't even hit an extra point or a short to mid-range FG?

Did you know that ND can’t lose another game or it’s lights out for their playoff hopes? And we need to give BC tons of credit for ND playing with their dicks in their hands all night?

To be fair there was mayhem breaking out on all the other channels. Probably thought he had give people a reason to keep watching.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Some kickers we need to reach out to.
Love from VT
Birr from GT 100 at XP , 94% at FG’s
Butowski at Pitt Freshman second in Nation

Alas none of them can play for us this season.

 

[BeauBenken]

Crazy to me that Disney pulled ESPN and all their channels from YTTV, leaving me having to scramble, but then the broadcast production they put out for our game yesterday was trash. Disney can eat a bag.

That game was an absolute slog. But we won. Find a kicker. Open tryouts if we need. Is it Buchner's hold? Hard to think guys that spend their whole days practicing a kick can't hit some pretty simple ones -- and then go and laugh about it on the sideline.

-Traore stunts inside
-Ausberry maintains the contain
-KVA fakes rush but drops into zone coverage on what looks to be the primary target
-James has to improvise under heavy pressure for the easy pick.

[T Town Tommy]

Most every team has a game or two like this in a season. It wasn’t pretty but it doesn’t define who you are either. The only failure is not learning from it and working to improve on it. Chin up Notre Dame.

 

[Irish#1]

Kind of a perfect storm that we survived. Rusty after a week off and playing a 1 win opponent. I doubt we see this next week.

Need to stop agreeing to ACC refs.

 

[MacIrish75]

Will pundits remember this game? Possibly not.

But, we really could have used the opportunity to curbstomp a bad team. Instead, hopefully it’s an internal wake-up call for our guys that they need to come out and not duck around the next four weeks.

Hopefully there’s a walk-on on campus or something who can kick.

Yep. Shuler gets the stat line, but that was a team pick. We were getting so much pressure that one of those was inevitable.

It was also the moment when the BC fans next to me got up and left. They didn't even need to see the next play to know how the game was going to wind up.

 

[allenm5333]

Probably because BOB is a chode.

used to rip pre game shots to get himself in the zone lol. I know a coach who worked with the texans and him

 

[Irish Norseman]

What a wet fart of a game that was. It’s obvious that leadership is lacking this year as this team just isn’t locked in and focused like last year. An undisciplined team with a sputtering offense. What could go wrong next week vs Navy?

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

It's a great wake up call to the team without suffering a loss. Still won by more than enough to impress the box score readers.
Perfect outcome that will lead us all the way, or we get knocked out in the second round and it doesn't matter anyway.

Chin up chicken littles.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Ok against a defense as shitty as BC is not ok. Offense has little rhythm and lived off a few big plays. Passing game was inconsistent and one dimensional.

They didn’t play great and won. It happens Bjorn

 

[Dizzyphil]

Irish need a couple of their playmakers get healthy

25-10 isn’t impressing anyone.

 

[BleedingGold]

We basically beat them as bad as Louisville at Louisville which has lost 1 game and beat Miami.

This is a minor setback related to ranking, it’s more of a concern for sloppy plays and kicking.

 

[NDdomer2]

Lots of undisciplined penalties that need to get cleaned up. (Unsportsmanlike, offsides, false starts, etc.)

Refs continue to be worst season I can recall.

I feel like the Offense was trying some things out to start the game and see how the new starters could handle it.

We have to figure out short yardage situations. I'm not sure I like the slot slants as the solution. I would like to see more Raridon on crossers or hitches or faison on crossers, jerks, and speed outs.

 

[tko]

I miss Claypool on crossing routes.

 

[NDdomer2]

I miss Claypool on crossing routes.

Fields clearly has the speed I'm not sure why we aren't utilizing him on some deep crossers.
