Arkansas kicker had a helluva season for being a true frosh.

The only thing I associated w/ them was that Dan Fouts played there. I think Bobby Moore (aka Ahmad Rashad) did, too.

Agreed. Even their fanbase will attest to that. They know where they rank in the big scheme of things.

If he does I think that means ND had a nice CFP run b/c I bet he’s going to miss more than half the season rehabbing.

Agreed. I think, like QB’s who bust; they are a product of the 7on7 circuit along with putting up big numbers at camps like Irish Invasion. Not related to the thread, but forgot that Puka Nacua faced ND when the Irish squared off vs BYU in Vegas. He was non-factor for the most part which is why...

No one disagrees that Pyne isn’t good. But he was able to be a game manager when he had great talent around him like his two years at ND. Look at what they were able to do in 2022 w/ him & Buchner. It showed how talented ND was at everywhere EXCEPT QB b/c he’s clearly been bad elsewhere when...

There is a caveat though w/ ND. Ask yourself why their retention is so good. If there’s a kid at IU that is splitting reps or 2nd string & wants to start, is he going to stick around another year to get that ”coveted IU degree”? You know the answer. Why do you think so many former NFL players...

Not a big NFL guy, but just watching from afar, it seems that half the league fires their coaches every 2-3 years. I get the money is good but these guys can only be recycled so many times as HC before they have to settle for asst coaching gigs if they want to stay in the NFL which I”m sure most...

Which told me that he’s missing the point. Brice countered w/ the obvious….it’s a BACKUP QB! You’re trying to find a kid who has zero expectation of being the starter unless the starter gets injured. They need a guy with live game action reps. Hopefully, it’s just for instances where Carr’s...

It’s rare that a kid who de-commits from ND ends up back w/ them via transfer. Plus, how close is he do graduating at Bama? If not a grad transfer, he may not even be a take depending on what credits he has accrued. That said, imagine what Charlie Partridge could do w/ this kid?

Why is Chambliss getting a sixth year seen as a “confident” whereas Onye getting a sixth year seems like long shot?

Had the same experience coaching baseball. My son was on a team w/ good coaches & parents but their goal was to advance from a AAA team to a Major team. We were a good AAA team but Major teams were ones who pulled kids from around the state & even beyond. We usually got beat when we played up...

ND fans agree he was playing great down the stretch once he was healthy from the abductor injury. Reportedly, he was ready to go (in his mind) sooner than the coaches utilized him. Once he saw the field at BC and balled out he started the remainder of the year. I don’t think ND had much of a...

SIAP

Same. Specifically who is going to be his QB next season? Gotta think that’s a big factor for incoming WR. Especially if money was not an issue as reported by a poster above quoting Roberts.

It’s more about supply vs demand and the supply of ”good P4 starters” is low while the demand is very high. Same for OL. That means teams will have to knowingly overpay & the players/agents know this, too. High risk / High reward. But very unlikely that they’ll be AA caliber.

Agreed but he does give us a national voice being on Fox. If he were just ND games, it’d be heard less.
