This schedule of night games against ranked teams is brutal (though all anyone ever says is that ND never plays anyone). Add in a tired team, a shitty poor hire OC, an inexperienced head coach, and it kind of adds up.
Early season, get Tobias involved so he doesn't transfer. These days, why is on on scholarship? Half kidding, but he was awful tonight. It has to get better for him right?
Tough night with WRs out and so many drops, and so much pressure. Anyway, seeing Sam care more about checking on the opposing QB than some silly post game interview was the highlight of my game night. Similar to him waiting for the band to finish the other game. On field performance team wise...
The high of 40 point games against mediocre teams has ended. I was not sold on GP, and the past 2 games haven't helped. All I know is the endless inside runs into a stacked D did not work. And they kept trying over and over. In the end it worked with the 30yd Estime TD, so who knows.
I kept an eye on the game thread. Wow, some of you in there need to find a new hobby. Seriously, that game was a tough watch, but sack up. What a bunch of crybabies.
I've been a diehard ND fan since about 1987, but this is also where I'm at. I've stepped back from following recruiting a bit, and have been so used to watching failure on the big stage, I'm almost numb to it. There is another day, another game.
