2026 Watch Party: Week 8

[BrianWalsh]

Waiting for BYU UCF second half kickoff. Can we talk about RGIII’s hat? WTF?

 

[MPClinton22]

Remember when nd coaching staff actually thought deuce knight would come to nd and do well instead of taking a flier on bachmeier who would’ve given anything to be at nd?

Bowden was still running the show then, yes?

 

[402puck]

BYU pulling their sub shenanigans again

 

[Silentkaw]

Incredible catch by Illinois WR.

 

[IA4irish]

wow Oregon is a dumpster fire. Moore definitely isn’t coming back anymore

 

[MPClinton22]

BYU pulling their sub shenanigans again

Can someone ELI5 what they do? They keep 12 on the field until the last second before bringing the 12th off - this doesn’t count as a sub so defense can’t sub?

 

[402puck]

Dave Doeren just got canned at NCSt

 

[CoachB]

Do we want BYU to win or lose?

 

[Bane]

Do we want BYU to win or lose?

I want BYU to lose out, including their bowl game, to finish 6-7 and for the Bachmeier's to be forced to wear clothes at family dinner. That's just me, though.

 

[calvegas04]

Would ND survive a trip to the bounce house?

 

[irishjim]

Do we want BYU to win or lose?

Idk- I just know we don’t want several teams in the same conference to have a record similar to Notre Dame because we’ll be pushed out. Maybe we want BYU to run the table in Big 12

 

[stpeteirish]

Dave Doeren just got canned at NCSt

Don’t lose to Stanford

 

[NorthDakota]

BYU pulling their sub shenanigans again

It will bite them...as these things tend to

 

[stpeteirish]

We should score every time we have the ball vs navy.

 

[Dale]

Oregon could really bottom out from here, do they even make a bowl?

 

[NDPhilly]

I don’t care if BYU loses. Win against Miami any only thing we have to argue about is bye vs no bye.

 

[greyhammer90]

There's no upside for us with BYU winning. We want them to lose.

 

[FOTY977]

Amazing what happens when you don’t give BYU a huge cushion on defense.

What the fuck were we doing last week

Fireable gameplan

 

[BleedBlueGold]

How much soft zone, vanilla four man rush is UCF running? Asking for a friend.

 

[KMac151993]

Dan Lanning needs more coke.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

If that’s your take, I’d take the week off the board… respectfully

Use the BYU postgame thread.

 

[MPClinton22]

There's no upside for us with BYU winning. We want them to lose.

I’ll be curious to see how the committee looks at the game - one big takeaway publicly was us not getting one last play. Just will be interested to see if the drum is banged the way it was for Miami

 

[vicknd1982]

Well where they gonna put BYU in the Rankings if they lose today

 

[calvegas04]

UCLA is a well coached team

 

[thekid33]

IDK if they end up winning - Alabama is not good. WTF were they thinking giving him an extension after getting destroyed in the SEC title game and in the playoff? 😂

 

[ReesusCrist]

Well where they gonna put BYU in the Rankings if they lose today

ND drops if BYU loses to keep the two in correct order, right?

 

[MPClinton22]

ND drops if BYU loses to keep the two in correct order, right?

Game was a toss up in Provo where we got denied a shot we were owed. If there’s ever a game they could break H2H, it’s that one

 

[thekid33]

They could just keep them #2


Nobody else has done anything today to really warrant moving up.

 

[vicknd1982]

We should drop.. losing to Byu is inexcusable.

 

[Blazers46]

No. Respectfully. It’s a Saturday watch thread. I didnt even say if you wanna talk about BYU loss even. Some of the conversation here has legitimately zero to do with this thread. Freeman thread, Ash thread, Denbrock thread, Pete thread, who cares thread, have at it.

Meh, fans be fanning. It’s hard to watch and not have these thoughts about our staff. Frustration is going to leak into every thread sadly.
