'18 CA ATH Tariq Bracy (Notre Dame Signee)

[BobbyMac]

I didn't know for sure where he was going to contribute but felt this was inevitable. I will admit, I didn't expect it so soon. Loved this kid from the get go.

The "Cali recruits are a waste of time" guys might be eating crow if the starting CB tandem is Bracy & Rutherford, Book's lined up behind Patterson and Banks, Lamb is the QB of the D at Mike and Foskey becomes the next Kareem.

Bracy played great

I know Vaughn didn’t play great but didn’t they want to mix in Bracy to get Vaughn a breather?

For his size Vaughn should at least be a good tackler but he isn’t. Looked better with the number 35 on his back.

No doubt Tariq is a player. Really stood out yesterday.

Really disappointed in Vaughn though. He seems to have regressed since his freshman year.

I’m going to say it again. Bracey is a player, baller, a dog. The sky is the limit for this kid the next two years.

Single-handedly saved two TDs. Great effort.

He was impressive tonight. He played much better that's for sure.

In the BK postgame, he mentioned that Bracy was too ill to play, but it wasnt COVID related.

When he blew up that WR block to disrupt the London screen, my heart skipped a beat, lol. Great play.

Bracy does appear on the 2022 roster recently posted on the UND website

Thank goodness

Really? I don't see this as a good thing. It's not like we've a surplus of (proven) talent at the position.

Wanted to highlght his play. He's had a rough career at times and tonight he held his own against one of the best WR corps in the country. He made several excellent tackles in the open field to prevent first downs and didn't really get beat in coverage either. Nice job.

Consistent performance all night. One good take away from the game is this is the first time in a long time our defensive backs played the ball well most of the game.

 

[Irish du Nord]

I love Bracy’s play, especially now that he’s showing his ability to tackle bigger receivers in the open field.

 

[ulukinatme]

He should hold his head high. Defense played very physical. I thought our DL would be a bit better from a pressure standpoint, but the coverage was really good against probably the best WR group in college football this year.

Bump this for sure. Love seeing this type of development for guys.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Bracy was awesome last night from what I saw live. He might earn a late round pick in the coming draft. Was very consistent in his coverage and tackled well when it was needed. The defense did everything they were asked to do.

 

[BauerOutage]

Bracy has been an absolute stud so far. Crazy how he’s bounced back from that rough season a couple years ago

Semi-related:

Bracy has been victim to more "outstanding throw AND catch" plays than any other corner in college football, I bet.

I feel like there have been four or five instances where he's been in nearly perfect coverage, but gave up a tough catch because the QB put it the only place it could go, and the receiver made an incredible adjustment to secure the ball.

It happened against UNC in '20, and again this year. I know there are two or three others I just can't put my finger on with specific year/opponent.

 

[Dale]

He slipped on the first TD, not sure he can make the play anyways as it was indeed perfect. The second one he got picked. So definitely tough “Ls” to assign.

Phew

 

[ThePiombino]

Not terrible prognosis considering how bad it looked at the time.

Probably best to sit him out this week. As the hamstring issue will probably linger the rest of the season, so rest is the best practice.

 

[Domina Nostra]

SIT HIM!!!!!!!!! If you "need" him for Stanford, you sure as heck need him for USC and Clemson!

 

[laughingirish90]

well we are playing a bad Stanford team so we shouldn't need him one would think

 

[luckofirish8]

Cuse should be the earliest this guy sees the field again unless he is absolutely 100% healthy.
