I watched, in person, Jimmy Clausen go 27/29, 404 yards, 5 TDs, zero picks LOSE to Navy because of poor defense, fumbles, and stupid penalties. Chuck was the head coach then. And I swore that it wasn't his fault.

I still believe in BK, but I'm more skeptical than ever.

The key there is POOR DEFENSE. We have been playing anything but poor defense. This game has been pure bad luck. Our offense has been very good, our defense has been very good

I wouldn't go as far as saying fire kelly, but he has to get control of his team ASAP. You can leave your green and gold glasses on all season and play the glass half full game, but eyes don't lie. They HAVE to play better than they played today. You cannot come out against a unranked opponent in your OWN HOUSE and play like a high school team! You cannot....

A clouded view:
1]. Tommy Rees did what we knew he could do, and some of us won't give him enough credit for. Tommy is a gymrat gamer who will make a mistake now and then, but generally has his offense functioning. There is in reality very little wrong with Tommy Rees.

2]. Dayne Crist did what some of us in the minority have been politely saying worried us all along. He looks stressed, he acts stressed, and he sometimes throws stressed. [one of those so-called drops was hosed far too strongly off a nearby receiver, for instance]. He looks like Adonis, he talks like your favorite nephew, and he sometimes plays like a rabbit in a fox warren.

3]. The offensive line was generally great --- Cierre didn't get that far open without help. Dever has been beaten before. Maybe the guy he was playing against was just real good. The line was fine.

4]. God bless Mike Floyd.

5].God bless Cierre Wood. I take back all my previous concerns. AND he played somewhat dinged due to a first quarter stuffed dive play.

6]. Jonas has been a fumbler and he fumbled. It was the worst possible luck that it happened as it did. It was also a difficult to guard against hold-up-and strip. Jonas may be OK.

7]. Eifert and TJ suffered more from Crist than their own play in my opinion. I think they'll be fine. So will Theo as soon as we get him off punt returns and a good-hands player back on them. If you don't like Goodman, who I have praised, then get Toma or HSmith there, as these are the three good-hands people cited as such by BK. The Theo experiment should teach all of us that you have to catch it first---everytime.

8]. the defense was terrific against a very difficult guy to defend when his head's on straight. One TD. Anyone objecting to a D-back getting beat once in a game should be shot. Maybe Fleming was taking poor angles in the first half --- maybe Manti was too. A BJDaniels is difficult to immediately get used to.

9]. Jonas' fumble plus incredibly unlucky circumstance makes a 14 point difference in the score in one diabolical moment. What would the score be then?? Floyd's microscopic hold cancels another seven points. Harrison's first face-mask was also microscopic. This game sucked NOT because WE GENERALLY sucked, but because it had so many things occur reminiscent of a hollywood horror script. And... I'm sorry... but Crist generally [not every play, but critically on every drive but the first] sucked.

I'm not predicting a win against Michigan, but we learned a lot about certain "mysteries" this game, and I think we should travel to Ann Arbor and show up for the game.

This game is no where near BK's fault. If he said go for it on 4th down from their own 2 then I would say it was his fault. But he has called a good game, just have not executed.

I'm not saying BK isn't the man for the job, but let's not say we're out playing them. They've been in control the whole game. Fumbles and penalties are not the sign of a good team. USF hasn't had much of either.

You aren't a realist. You are calling for someones head the 1st sign of trouble. The sign of a good coach/team is how they rebound. Shut up and support your team.

BTW who would you want there? No one at a top program wants to coach at ND. We have our man. Let him work.

This board is awesome. For the people that normally post here, stop letting yourselves get worked up by trolls and/or new posters. Just let it be.

There are NO excuses. "I'll take my 22 over anyone else". Obviously can't take our 22 over anyone. 16-0 to a Big East team is unforgivable.
