Can't believe they're this kind of completely uncompetitive tonight.

They need major surgery in the 2H to win.

It's the dumbest shit. They clearly wanted to play zone because 1) QB run game 2) BYU struggling to finish drives all year.

But the problem is we are causing zero havoc and the quick passing game just has first read wide open literally every play. It's a joke, poor coaching. Can't believe nothing was changed for a whole half.

I have no idea why we refuse to adjust until half.

Probably should’ve tossed the old gameplan as soon as Boob got kicked.

It’s disappointing reading all of this because BYU is one dimensional and Ash didn’t have a plan for it? Doesn’t ND have Defensive Analyst’s that study film and find tendencies? Several talking heads said this would be BYU’s game plan it was no secret and yet so far they are shredding the D. I’m hopeful the boys can pull it off but man this is kind of deflating. Regardless another half to go, Go Irish!

Literally they are running EXACTLY what every talking head on Twitter said they would do and we look lost / confused out there. Malpractice.

I wonder if the center delayed snapping the ball and that threw CJ off leading to mishandling?

The whole sequence was messed up and chaotic because BYU made it chaotic. They are making this an ugly game and ND doesn’t want to be there or play ugly.

The whole world is being validated at the expense of ND tonight.

imagine barely using Walton

RocketIsmail25 · Saturday at 9:36 PM

That first half was like watching a game from 2007-2011.

CJ clearly isn’t built for this at this point.

Totally.

No, I'm just telling you how I'm reacting to it. Just giving my perspective.

You do you man. Genuinely.

ACamp1900 · Saturday at 9:36 PM

Well, we find out about Freeman, Carr and Ash all in one half,… at least there’s that

This team shouldn’t make the playoff if they go 10 and 2. And they still might if there’s enough chaos around the country.

They would probably still get in at 10-2. There isn't very many good teams this year. Wouldn't be shocked if we get some 3-loss teams in

It’s mind boggling and we have two weeks to think about it too

Yes, Because he’s able to run, too.

So yes, prevent him from running, and the passing will follow.

Well, by God, we have to take away something first. I don't even know what Ash is trying to do because everything is free and easy to BYU. Passing to every inch of the field, wide open. Running lanes? I-15 at 4 in the morning, no traffic and wide open. Bear running? Open. We've taken away nothing, so maybe we can take away just one thing in the second half and that could keep us in it.

NDPhilly · Saturday at 9:36 PM

The zone has worked zero times against good defenses. In man These guys used to be coming downhill attacking causing turnovers and negative plays. Looks like a totally different unit.

Yep, especially with CJ a bit off. Let’s make some halftime adjustments…Lotta game left!!

oddz313 · Saturday at 9:37 PM

Same notre dame different year, her panties are wet and she is ready. Marcus has shown up and they go out to a nice restaurant. They have the Chilean sea bass and sides with a glass of wine maybe lots of wine. Then they get to the room and he is a wet noodle the whole fucking night got dammit all

Irish_I_HadHair · Saturday at 9:37 PM

I’m just really surprised Freeman would sign off on such a passive defensive gameplan.

Take it to the offense. Don’t die by a thousand cuts and limit your offenses possessions.

Irish Norseman · Saturday at 9:37 PM

Marcus Kelly. Brian Freeman. Fuck this pussy ass team. Mentally weak. Leave no doubt my ass. CJ Carr pulling a Tommy Rees with his small ass hands. This is embarrassing

thekid33 · Saturday at 9:37 PM

At least I can probably go to bed early.

I had an ER trip this week I am still recovering from. I am fine but wiped out.

Still may have been a more enjoyable way to spend my time than watching that first half.

ShamrockOnHelmet · Saturday at 9:37 PM

So, big picture, Freeman needs to really think long and hard about Denbrock. It’s never been great, and it’s not improving.

James has been excellent and Walton has had the bad luck of being involved in ND's two worst series.

Meatloaf · Saturday at 9:37 PM

At least Miami is losing

If we play like this who cares? We aren’t good enough in the coaching department anyhow

Running the ball doesn’t help with out defense

irishff1014 · Saturday at 9:37 PM

Terrible coaching

Playing zone is not Ash’s strong suite

James running over people and they take him out

Denbrock hasn’t been terrible but the blah offense all year is catching up to him against a team you have to be perfect against

Keep the clock moving so BYU does not wind by 21+?

bkess8 · Saturday at 9:38 PM

Same song... Same dance from ND. Big game in primetime and we dont get off the bus ready to play and treat it like its no big deal! So tired of this shit.

Bane · Saturday at 9:38 PM

rtrn2glory said:
We'll be crucified for this loss too. If it were to an Sec team they'd say it's a good loss. Now they'll love putting us outside the top 15

We deserve it, quite frankly. BYU is not good.

Henges24 · Saturday at 9:38 PM

Oh shit boys. Sunday Scaries are coming early.

CJ and the offense have left 14 pts on the field.

And Ash has no answers for BYU offense.
