Same, unfortunately.

SIAP: DJ Uiagalelei officially in the portal

Sorry, meant to respond to this and can't remember if I did... To the bolded, you absolutely can and you should. It's not a matter of Player-X has been hurt in the past and might get hurt again....it's a matter of evaluating the situation in its entirety. Genetics, type of injuries, type of...

Thanks. So yeah, I could see a situation where there are a couple northern games, which would be fun.

What is the schedule like for this format? Do the top 6 seeds get home field advantage for round 1? If so, in any given year you'd potentially get what, two or three? Michigan, OSU, and ND??...Are these the only playoff caliber programs from the north capable of being ranked that highly come...

Seems to be a consensus that Leary would be a top want, but how many people are truly considering the injury risk with him? If he's not fully healthy or gets reinjured, they're basically back to square one with injury-prone Buchner and Pyne (barring neither of them transfer). A Caleb...

12 team playoffs literally open the door for a 2 or even 3 loss team to get hot and win it all. My max for expansion has always been 6 (top two get a bye) or 8. That's it. Look at the current rankings and make a case for any team ranked worse than 8 to be given an opportunity to win a...

New Carlisle: "Nice place to visit, Great place to live."

I'm really excited about the shiny new toys this staff will (hopefully) inject into the program, but at the same time, I'm concerned with the amount of transfers out of ND as well. Roster turnover is here to stay under these new transfer rules. Play the game, ND, or get left behind.

IIRC, I believe it was Prister who was pretty blunt about Freeman admitting the mistake they made by not taking a QB this season. MF doesn't appear to be the type of guy who makes the same mistake twice. And if he hits the portal the way he hits the recruiting trail, I think next season could be...

I'm always late to these threads because I like to sleep on my thoughts, especially after emotions are high when we lose to USC. I'm sure much has been mentioned already. This game came down to losing the turnover battle and not stopping the run (missed tackles), imo. USC scored touchdowns...

Shout out to Pyne for doing a social media post congratulating my alma mater, New Prairie High School Cougars, on their trip to state this weekend. New Prairie is about 20 minutes west of Notre Dame. 4A matchup versus East Central. NP grad and former QB, Chase Ketterer, is a current walk on...

Correct. He said he only played one series against UCLA.

My biggest issue regarding the crazy amount of optimism coming out of Fall Camp was that very few analysts seemed to factor in Tyler's health/durability. They over-anticipated the way the OL would play out of the gate and just assumed Buchner was ready to take off w/o any concerns whatsoever to...

I don't think the staff should ever view Buchner as a true 1A QB due to his propensity to get hurt. They'll need a 1B for any and all years that Buchner is getting significant reps. Depending on who transfers in, I wouldn't be shocked to see a situation where the transfer earns the starting...

Didn't he say that kid is hurt and barely played last week because his injury is still nagging?

ND defense is going to have to get off the field on third downs. Stroud kept the chains moving where Uiagalelei couldn't. The above beat writer on the Shamrock podcast also said USC doesn't punt often, but their special teams unit as a whole is atrociously bad. They don't have a dedicated...

I listened to that this morning. He also said USC is susceptible on outside runs and up the seam. They are legit worried about what Michael Mayer is going to do to them.

This game has OSU-redo written all over it. RTDB and control clock. Keep their offense off the field. USC should be shitting themselves over this matchup.....cuz it aint good for them, imo. They haven't seen a pass defense like ND's and their defense isn't stopping our 3-headed monster. ND...
