I feel for the kid but Zachery is not playable. One of the freshman have to be ready (Pouncey/Adams) or move gray outside and bring Golden in the slot if we are without McKinney and Moore

Makes the BYU gameplan so baffling. We were just too concerned with Bachmeier’s legs

I feel like all of us Couch Coaches who were baffled with that gameplan were 100% vindicated last night. Is what it is, happy that we really challenged Miami and attacked the LoS all night.

Do what you do best until they prove you need to adjust.

TIFWIW but PFF:

Barkate vs Sanders: 3 targets, 2 catches, 13 yards
Lofton vs Talich: 5 targets, 2 catches, 13 yards
Anyone vs Moore: 2 targets, 1 catch, 41 yards
- this was the Lofton RAC that Moore tried to jump, it was also a dump off broken play in zone. A pass was not completed on Moore in man coverage.

Within the actual game-plan was basically flawless

Isn't Golden recovering from an injury as well?

Surreal to see this being publicly discussed in this fashion

Dale · Sunday at 7:22 PM

Mensah showed why it baffles me people talk about him like he’s Round 1. Like real NFL analysts. His pocket elusiveness and accuracy overall are impressive and he’s certainly a NFL pick but he has below average arm strength and Dawson’s offense has asked him to do zero that translates to the NFL unless someone wants to try out the Bo Nix experience in R1 again. He doesn’t have the opposite field arm arm strength like Carr and doesn’t throw deep.

If - large ifs - you can be sticky for 2.5 seconds and get a pass rush, you really limit the offense.

IrishLax · Sunday at 7:25 PM

This is what Dale mentioned earlier, very interesting on rewatch to see how Miami had *zero* answer for this general scheme cuz no one could beat their man consistently AND we were getting pressure with LBs AND we were stuffing the run. Gray/Mukam played like animals and frankly even guys you don't usually count on in the DL consistently did their job.

I haven’t read anything but it was apparent that MF was involved in the D preparations. Camera caught him calling the D when Miami was getting stuffed inside the five.

Really feels like the only thing that can stop us when the defense plays within this sort of scheme is injuries.

Luke Talich is a freak. You'd be hard pressed to find a handful of corners that could have made that interception, let alone a 6'4" safety with a broken fucking hand.

It's amazing that the general consensus about Talich when the 5 for 5 rule was announced was "Oh that'll be great for him, maybe he'll stick around here but maybe he'll get a small bag and get to have a starting spot elsewhere." He's a stud and the most clutch player on the team.

I will be learning about the tight ends for the next three opponents with great haste. It's simply something that is going to have to be dealt with for the rest of the season until it gets sorted.

The amazing thing is that Miami didn't have a single holding call, right? We pressured an absurd amount and blitzed and got hits on the QB but somehow, they didn't hold a single time.

Hey! Don't try and change the narrative that the refs screwed Miami by favoring ND! How dare you!

The refs caught them once on the first play after halftime

Thanks, I stand corrected. They held one time. I didn't think the refs screwed ND but I never once felt like we were the beneficiaries of anything. Some of the DPI calls against ND were absolutely trash. ND had guys getting mugged against BYU on the last play. Mensah under threw a few passes and the ball hit our guys in the back while they ran stride for stride. None of this stuff makes sense but to question it causes the entire foundation to crumble.

Do you think having seen all of these guys day in and day out at practice that they haven't thought of this?

There is a reason you're not seeing these freshmen on the field, and I don't think it's because the coaching staff is incompetent or mean.

Aneyas williams was our bell cow RB to start the season and Walton wasn't even playing. Shuler is still playing almost every snap. The coaching staff states they play people they trust, and it's easier to have trust when you've been in the system longer.

Zackery i'm sure knows the defense and his responsibilities. He didn't have any busts, i'm not sure that he really ever has busted plays. He is just NOT a good football player, and every team picks on him when he's in the game.

The staff needs to do a better job and get a frosh ready and coach them up because everyone KNOWS it's not Zackery.

Why don't you submit your complaints in writing to the ND football staff?

Oh boy, I guess I shouldn't be shocked you're the type or person to say that!

What do you say/write to the ND beat on their chats, their podcasts that have been really critical of the coaching staff this year? I wonder if they submit their complaints to the staff?
