chase rettig w/b the hero spaziani speaks of in the 2nd half. he is about to shred us apart.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Not how I envisioned us playing today, but I still believe that we'll make some offensive adjustments and get it figured out in the second half. I don't think Tommy has completed a pass of more than 10 yards and could have easily had 2 or 3 picks...but I think we need to keep throwing those to keep their defense from stacking the box. Defense played well other than that one drive. We need to find a way to get more pressure on their QB. Maybe more DB blitzes? Lynch, Nix, Te'o and Slaughter have played well, but other than that nobody on the D has really done anything. Blanton and Gray have given us nothing.

Actually Rees had a 38 yd completion to Eiffert.

pkt,
NO, I am not baiting anyone. i just want to hear how they justify his play today. I can talkk about alot of other things, but it is disapointing that our coach is accepting mediocirity at QB. Rees has soo many limitations it is not funny.

 

[JughedJones]

We are watching exactly how teams can scheme to beat Tommy all day long. He cannot run, cannot throw deep and cannot make a fast pass. Sit back with 8 guys and wait for him to make a mistake.

That was ALL E.

 

[frankygoes69]

This might be a "down to the wire" game, but I still think that ND wins. Like Wooly said, positive karma!

GO Irish!

 

[jonesman]

That 38 yard completion was made because Eiffert made an absolute circus catch

What is with people throwing stuff onto the field?

Marshmallows I do believe. Use to be an every game occurrence.

 

[Veer option]

Seriously? I guess ive havent noticed it before.

I'm sorry but this halftime show is way to QUEER!

Just pointing out the error in his comment. Never said it wasn't aided greatly by our TE.

 

[frankygoes69]

Does it seem that ND always takes teams like BC for granted? There is not a team on their schedule that can be taken lightly.

What a boring half...

I hope ND makes some adjustments to help with field position. I won't rag on Tommy because that gets me negative reps, and it is not his fault he has a limited playbook when always starting on his own 5 yard line.

It's a Senior Day thing. All the Senior students sneak in bags of marshmallows to toss around at halftime.

I wouldnt say the Irish have taken them for granted, Fredos D is playing well. They are playing their assignments and making solid tackles.

Hey guys. What have I missed...?

Queer? Didn't know you were a homophobe.

 

[loomis41973]

Hey guys. What have I missed...?

Sheetastic play calling.
Poor QB play.

 

[NDOM]

Queer? Didn't know you were a homophobe.

My bad. I apologize. I used the wrong word. Matter of fact, I have many gay friends. If anyone took offense to that I am truly sorry.

That halftime show was very stupid!!!!

 

[woolybug25]

Queer? Didn't know you were a homophobe.

He is super high right now. Don't mind him. He'll be busy thinking about the marshmallows for at least the next hour.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

I've been watching...I get all that.

Running game has been just okay too...

 

[tko]

kelly doesn't want to show Stanford his secret plays.

 

[N_D_Fighting_Irish]

Play calling is really the issue. Whether you are Tommy Rees or Tom Brady, it is difficult to throw when the opposing D is dropping 8+. I don't know if it is Rees who is failing to audible to a run or if it was Kelly's playcalls.

 

[frankygoes69]

Queer? Didn't know you were a homophobe.

we're not were. Just kidding. Also, on a side note, the students should come up with a cure for the team coming out flat.

 

[RallySonsOfND]

Love this pre-kickoff song.
