You’ve missed the point. We want to develop and execute the entire offense and should start the QB who is most capable of doing that. If Angeli is that guy, he should start at Miami.

I agree. If Carr is healthy and can execute the WHOLE offense then he should start, even at Miami. Anything short of that then I think Angeli should take the first snaps in game one. Part of my reasoning is that we cannot have another year in which players like Greathouse get underutilized...

Honestly, I think he was doing what he thought was the right thing. I get the impression he is a decent dude when he’s not in his emotions.

Fair. Though average tenure doesn’t play into the equation — if anything it makes it easier to take a risk on Mickens. Freeman became a first-time DC at 30 (I believe) — if you’re ready, you’re ready. Could Mickens prove himself elsewhere and return to ND? Sure. But this industry is far too...

True, but opinions tend to do that — besides, that’s what makes this fun.

Yikes! Do you also target them for Shermination?

Sad to hear he is still this way on his message board. I joined the message board a few years ago and quit it after several months for the exact issues you mentioned. To Driskell’s credit, when I requested a refund he gave it to me, even after I told him what my objections were.

Totally agree. Honestly, my take away from is this — Marcus Freeman does not want Mike Mickens as the DC. He has known him since HS and Mickens has plenty of of experience on paper — Freeman would hire him if he thought he was competent to be a DC. The “Co-DC” offer is an effort to keep him...

I like Brice because he is not a homer, but he strikes me as a good ole boy and and absolute bullshitter. Not saying you are wrong, but my impression is definitely different.

To each their own, but when ND fans start paying college students to play football here I think it will be time for me to find a new hobby.

I did not see him much at all. He is a liability as a tackler, perhaps they wanted to go with the most consistency. But, tacking was not great tonight anyway — mostly because OSU was good (and many on our D are still fairly young).

This, a thousand times this.

Great attitude. I hope you’re right.

I don’t buy that for a second. He definitely got outcoached, but Chip Kelly is a great coach. You really think he was distracted from a National Championship by thoughts of NFL offseason workouts. If the Bengals are any kind of organization they told him to focus on ND and worry about his new...

These are exactly the type of rationalizations I am referring to. We did not have the talent to compete with this team for 4 quarters. Its best to admit it and fix it and not delude yourself that injuries were the issue tonight.

Other than the opening drive they did not produce when it mattered. They began moving the ball after the game was decided.

Agree. Love RL but he is simply too limited as passer, and we have very mediocre talent out wide.

I wouldn’t go that far. OSU got housed worse than this a few years ago by Bama — it was a bloodbath. But, they eventually evolved. Marcus has shown that he can evolve.

Marcus is still the guy for this job. But, I hope this game puts to rest any more rationalizations that his recruiting efforts are good enough. We MUST have top 5 classes every year. Period. He has absolutely not stockpiled enough talent. I think he can, though.

I think we surprise many and start fast, then hold on in the second half. Denbrock’s game plan will use the backs out of the backfield and the downfield passing game effectively in the first half. We lead 17-10 at halftime. Second half OSU adjusts well, but we grind out a couple of drives on...
