That was a Bull rush by Kona

I know B Smith has not been great this year but he has been everywhere today. Looking good on senior day

 

[military_irish]

this D looks like they are out for blood, they are flowing to the ball

 

[NDMontana]

I think if we can keep them out of the endzone in the first half, they may lose interest after what happened last week.

Utah is a good program, they've won a BCS bowl game in the last few years and they want a good bowl game this year going into the PAC 12 or whatever they're going to call the conference. They're not going to roll over and die or lose interest. This isn't a high school team with no shot at the playoffs in the last game of the year.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

Kona...freshman...that is so flipping sweet!

 

[Irish Man3]

Defense looks inspired. It helps that Utah keeps shooting themselves in the foot.

 

[TinyT]

I want to say it right now...These guys have me excited, I am all tingly right now and am afraid of getting hurt again.

 

[Riddickulous]

Utah is killing themselves today. They came out flat.

 

[IrishInFl]

Kona came in at 220, what's he now?

 

[Riddickulous]

Anybody see Blanton take two guys out by himself on that punt?

 

[TinyT]

I was wondering what two Ute defenders were doing on the ground nowhere near the ball.

I know who they are and I understand their history over the past few years. I am glad you informed me that they dont play high-school football though. However, clearly (9 penalties) they are not mentally where they should be. A lot of that has to do with what took pplace last week. I also, did not say they would roll over and or die. A lot of football is mental, and mentally right now, we are winning the battle and its showing on the score board.

did you watch them play last week at home? if that wasn't rolling over than i don't know what is

 

[Irish Man3]

Why is Cierre back in the game after what Jonas just did? If Cierre can run with conviction he will be in good shape.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

nice wood

AMEN!!

 

[TinyT]

I like the monkey

 

[footballinsiders]

Every time Wood carries the ball I get nervous. I say put Gray back in.

You said they would lose interest if "we" (who is we?) keep them out of the end zone. They're not going to lose interest. These aren't little kids--and that's what I'm saying. Most college teams, especially high level teams, don't lose interest. Especially when they're playing an inferior opponent. I'm not saying ND can't win or won't win; I'm just saying that is ridiculous to assert that Utah will lose interest.

 

[military_irish]

quick strikes, get his confidence up. i like it

 

[irishff1014]

I want to see Gray in the back field

 

[TinyT]

He should try being nice to Dayne, you know...just to see what might happen

 

[irishff1014]

These 3 yard passes are not going to work

 

[Irish Man3]

More quick hitters like last week will help Tommy's confidence. It's tough in the rain to make solid throws down the middle of the field against a solid defense

 

[Riddickulous]

What the HELL was that call?

 

[irishff1014]

What a stupid Fing play call. STUPID STUPID put gray in the game wood can't run on this team

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

great play by Turk...that could of been really bad

No, it's not easy but the receivers should have the advantage if the field conditions aren't great. They know where they're going and the defenders don't. If Rees can't get a good grip on the ball he should have some advantages--especially with Floyd.

 

[irishff1014]

The field conditions how they have not footing.

They lost interest last week when it was 14-0 so please stop talking. If you watched the game then you would understand that. Getting blown out at home with college gameday present when your a top 5 team, affects you mentally. Stop talking about little kids and highschool. I think we all understand they aren't in highschool. That was nothing to do with an emotional layover from last week. 10 penalties for 65 yards in one half? Their minds are not where they should be and if you dont realze that, then you are a fool. No team, good or bad should be that mentally absent.
