That dig against may by Lou was awesome. "Too bad more people did not show up to enjoy it"

3 turnovers. Missed FG. Same old same old...

Did I miss a 3rd TO? Only Tommy's fumble and pick.....

 

[Black Irish]

So we have a bulldozer offense against UM & USF and still lose. Our offense is playing like the University of Blind Nuns this game and somehow we're still ahead. This is why being an Irish fan is so endlessly interesting.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Hey, but if I were a coach making a change at halftime, I'd probably say I was sticking with my guy too. Plus you always want to be positive on your players with the media.

He'll be on a short leash.. but if he turns it over and PITT goes up it's panic mode for ND.. and do we really want Dayne back in during panic mode? I'd hope he'd be resurgent and come out confident to prove himself.. but t could just get worse.

I agree with that last part, that's why I say start Crist at half!

Dayne had a collar, you could string up the sails of a pirate ship with Rees's leash.

I know i dont want to see crist again

Why do I feel like we're getting out coached?

Because.... It's twuuue. It's twuuue.

Qucik poll: what's everyone drinking this game? I'm several glasses into a bottle of Powers Irish whiskey, neat. Very versatile whiskey, it goes down smooth when we're winning, but has a little harsh bite when we're playing like a bunch of circus clowns on valium.

Probably this same coach beat us last year with freaking Tulsa.

 

[irishff1014]

After the half Crist needs to be in and Bring Wood in of the defensive side. HE has to be better the Gary

Very true, but I wish we could have a game where we absolutely dominate a team. We could be doing that with this Pitt team if weren't for the sloppy play on O. Interesting and also frustrating at the same time.

It's hard to imagine what Tommy would look like if we were facing a top 100 pass defense.

Louis Nix might be one of the worse DT ive ever seen.

Meyer made a comment about the designed Dline lining up half yard from ball.
1ST ive been screaming about Nix doing 1 yard since Mich game. Never seen that b4

2nd if the dline lining up 1/2 yard back is truly a scheme then Diaco should just stick to rcting. Ive never seen or heard of such nonsense ever.

This team is not going to a BCS bowl game this year, there is no reason at all why Hendrix does not get a few series in the second half.

No reason at all why a playmaker is not doing punt return.

Gary Gray is still clueless once he turns his back to LOS, i have to start questioning the DB coach at this point.

 

[JughedJones]

This is not acceptable.

We don't have a QB.

Nada...

PITT has one of the worst passing defenses in the country and ND can't get much of anything going. Other than the Jonas Gray 80 yard TD, ND hasn't done anything. Tommy Rees has yet ANOTHER turnover! I'm sorry, but Danye Crist needs another chance come the 2nd half.

Vodka and Orange juice. Yep an old fashion screwdriver. Feels like I am getting screwed watching this game.

Maybe i should take up yoga.

 

[JughedJones]

I hate to say it, but I bet that Crist comes in after the half.

This is awful.

You know, other than not picking up/expecting the blitz packages, and having some soft underneath coverage, I feel like there isn't a whole lot you can put on the coaches this time.

One improvement is definitely calling more runs. Not only is it just better offense, but our opponents tend to score on us much more during their 8th, 9th, and 10th (i.e., later) possessions, so time of possession is key.

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

It's hard to imagine what Tommy would look like if we were facing a top 100 pass defense.

He's just making bad reads and focusing on one receiver.. First Floyd and then Eifert. Every screen has been sniffed out and half the times he went for Riddick it was a bad pass.

Pitt is doubling Floyd and hitting Eifert over the middle is not going to work all day. The field needs to be stretched..

 

[IrishLax]

Side bets on Tommy or Dayne? I'm thinking he sticks with Tommy.

 

[irishff1014]

I bet your wrong. Kelly is going to stick with Tommy unless he gets hurt.

 

[Black Irish]

Throw some 2 back I-formation at 'em. ND hasn't exactly been killing the competition with a 3 receiver set.
