Getting LBs in coverage mismatches is like football 201. LBs aren't there to be corners.

Not really sure how you can criticize his usage when OSU went up in a blur and ND needed to start passing the ball. They even passed it successfully. Not a lot of bites at the apple. Next season the OL will have all returned, be in proper positions, and be healthy. Love *should* feast in 2025.

This team played a competitive national championship game against a superteam. Nothing to be upset about, especially when you realize that Notre Dame should probably be BETTER next season. Entire OL can return healthy and in proper positions. Love is back and should have a monster season with...

I was told I had a "loser mentality" when ai said this would be 35-6. Ohio State is the most talented team in the country, and generally healthy. Notre Dame is a fantastic defense with a mediocre offense, and very banged up.

OSU is incredible WHEN teams blitz. That's why ND isn't.

That's song *is* pretty catchy. But so is herpes.

I hosted a party at my apartment. Bought a new flat screen for the Fall. My high school buddies who were then my roommates are all there, and my one friend brings his girlfriend. She's a Michigan fan, but also entirely apathetic to sports. During Michigan's comeback she loudly cheers for BAD...

After the 2011 Michigan game, I became a much more stoic fan and am 99.9% unaffected when they lose. After all, these guys are strangers. I'm not going to let 18-22 year olds who don't even know I exist ruin my evening. 2012 championship? Shrug. 2017 in Miami? Shrug. 2023 Ohio State? Shrug...

This is fair. The reason ND likely doesn't win this game is that it is a lot to ask this banged up offense to score 24 points against OSU.

Yes. And I am very confident that next year's team will be better. Maybe significantly better since the offense should take another step forward.

Jaylon Smith and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah are on that list for recent history. In terms of RBs, while he's the most athletic RB I've ever seen at ND, Kyren Williams was and is an absolute stud. I think the 2025 OL is going to be nasty and Love may have the 1500+ yard season he deserves.

Who knew that nonstop Cover 2 zone would get eviscerated by Nick Saban with six weeks to think about it.. I watched that game from a bar in Columbus and was so upset I think we went home and watched Breaking Bad or something for the second half.

Probably a lot of Cover 2 Man for some extra help. The problem is that the front seven will probably need safety help too. Rylie Mills being out is so fucking huge. Penn State was very good at outside zone. Apparently that's not Ohio State's offense. But it would be hard to watch the tape and...

Best football film channel out there IMO

I said at the beginning of the playoffs that if ND didn't have the defensive injuries and the NFL OTs stayed another year, then they could go toe-to-toe with anyone. But you go to war with the army you have. Unless Chip Kelly overthinks this, OSU should score 30. ND is banged up on the DL and...

Banged up OL. Banged up RB. Mediocre WR corp. And you blame the playcalling?

Freeman can win the natty and declare that Notre Dame's drought has ended and now they will be wearing green as their primary color for the rest of his reign, and I would 100% support it.

Nah I think you're doing some goal post moving. I would rank Ohio State below Alabama behind in the last twenty years, and that's it. You aren't knocking Oklahoma for beating up on the Big 12 while Texas was in shambles? Clemson running a train on the ACC? You honestly think Florida State holds...

I don't know someone can not have a top six for blue bloods. No real way to break it down to top four. It's probably a top eight with everyone questioning if Nebraska is still deserving. My understanding is the term blue bloods was created in the 1980s go differentiate the old programs that...

It's also unfair to characterize the guy when he's in the same conference at Ohio State, Michigan, etc. Those two teams have been... pretty good lately. That said, I thought some of the offensive playcalling against Boise was certifiably asinine. Penn State was in real danger of outcoaching itself.
