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

I'd like to see Dayne right now with 3 games under his belt. If nothing else, at least we'd have the element of a running QB with a strong arm.

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.

It's just something you feel.

I feel like they have a better read on us.....and we are lost against one of the worst Ds in the country.

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

Who's our FB? And if Jonas and Cierre are on the field at the same time, who comes in to give them a breather and/or if they get injured?

I dunno why any of you are calling for Crist, that only leads to Kelly not being able to run the plays he truly wants.
If Crist comes in b4 Hendrix then i can only conclude that Hendrix has been pretty awful in what ever amount of practice he has had.

I only say hendrix, cuz im assuming he hasnt been awful in practice and Kelly would wanna see him in game situations b4 using a year for Golson

We have over 120 rushing yards in the first half thats not the problem. The problem is with our uneffective QB

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.

I'm gonna chose to not read your comment

I stopped reading after this. You obviously either 1. Don't know anything about football 2. Are watching a different game than the rest of the world or 3. Are watching a ND game for the first time this year.

Nix is a beast and nobody, other than you apparently, will dispute that.

You are crazy with Crist in the game he will challenge them down the field and open the field up.

One thing that hasn't been talked about is our O-Line is struggling a bit today in pass protection. Seems like one or two guys are constantly in our backfield.

Watch some tapes from last year. He played 3 games.

Is it just me, or do we look unprepared for the first half every game? We look surprised offensively when we step on the field for the first half. Wonder if BK starts practicing full contact/full speed soon

By the way folks, we are nearly doubling them up in yds in the first half and are on pace to go over 500 again this game. Clearly we are NOT being outcoached. We have another TO in the redzone, and a horrendous snap on a gimmie FG for Ruffer. That's minimum 6 pts left on the board right there. The defense is playing well. No defense in the country is getting 3 and outs on every single possession. Rees needs to clean it up or see the bench. He's a TO machine, but overall there is no way we're being outcoached.

That equals loss for us, lol.
