Analytics just flipped to probable byu win

Irish Joe · Saturday at 8:57 PM

Completely outcoached thus far

thekid33 · Saturday at 8:57 PM

I am usually full of existential dread before a big game but I was super calm and confident this week.

Lesson learned.

It's better to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed and kicked in the nuts.

Anyone with eyeballs since we went up 10-7 could tell you that lol.

If you lose this week you are losing to Miami.

2 loss ND doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs.

Great job Freeman great job

Maybe but Miami is tied with Florida State at half

But he is a leader of men

At some point you need to blitz and have Bear prove he knows how to beat it.

Losing Tae is killing us

It's more than just that. You don't lose one player and all of a sudden your defense just goes to crap.

WildMan1 · Saturday at 8:58 PM

Need someone to step up & make a play here. No Traore is such a huge drop off.. we’re also not sending any blitzes??

Of course. They are kicking our ass. They want to win

No it’s not. It’s the ND way we try to look past it but at the end of the day it’s the same song and dance.

Welp, I think BYU just wants it more right now. No other way to see this game.

They've talked shit for a year. I guess they were right.

dang227 · Saturday at 8:58 PM

Leaving lots of doubt right now. Really thought Freeman would have them ready but I guess not

Not sure how you watch film of our defense the past 3 weeks and make zero improvements. Middle is always open and our LBs dont belong in zone coverage.

3 new coaches on D. It shows.

MacIrish75 · Saturday at 8:58 PM

Idk I’m still not worried really. Sit on the underneath stuff and make Bear beat you deep. Play man. Trust your corners to do what they do well.

Well, Miami could very well lose to a bad Florida state team. At least we are losing to a halfway decent team

KMac151993 · Saturday at 8:59 PM

I just dont understand the gameplay on either O or D.

If you are watching you don’t need analytics to tell you that.

Yeah i think it's probably about that time

NDMatt91 · Saturday at 8:59 PM

Worth noting that the best team ND has played during this win streak was a 4-loss USC team.

KMac151993 · Saturday at 8:59 PM

Freeman looks shell shocked.

BleedBlueGold · Saturday at 9:00 PM

Barring some sort of Jekyll and Hyde act, ND is losing this game. Its been awhile since the defense has looked this lost.

No pass rush, no pressure, bad tackling, guys are wide open, not in a position to make a play, no havoc. ND defense is built on the above and literally zero items on the list on display tonight. I’m in utter disbelief.

Your defense is so fucking bad tonight and the offensive response is missed wide open TD and 3 and out. Cool.

NDFAN2008 · Saturday at 9:00 PM

They’ll score here go up 21-10 and run clock the entire second half

RocketIsmail25 · Saturday at 9:00 PM

12 players. Good stuff.

Exactly

Katzenboyer · Saturday at 9:00 PM

Criticism of Freeman should be LOUD if they drop this one.

Haven't beaten a team with a pulse since January 2025. You've faced three playoff teams since September 2025, and you'd have lost to each one.

Unacceptable.

I don't think the staff expected it to be so easy to run on them and didn't know what to do

MacIrish75 · Saturday at 9:00 PM

Holy crap.

NDPhilly · Saturday at 9:00 PM

Defense couldn’t have had a worst half. Across the board.
