Just the facts....

-OL sucked
-Book was 81%
-2.27 yards per carry (taking out Book's attempts/yardage)
-Book improved on a couple long balls, last one, for the win
-D slept in the first half. Came through when we needed
-Special teams sucked.
-Pitt called a great game against us. Coverage was the best we've seen by far. Even the announcers were gushing... And the exotic blitzes were f'ing our OL up all day.
-Boykin, Finke, Claypool, Mack.. all did well

They're having post implosion withdrawal.

7-0, and honestly, it's the best week to get a let down out of the way.. mid terms, going into bye, could be ranked 4 tomorrow... it's a great week to come down to earth.

I hope Polian is pulling his weight recruiting cause the special teams are awful.


7-0

I hate Pitt

And fellas, let's not forget..
In 2017, Pitt beat #2 Miami late in the year
In 2016, Pitt beat #2 Clemson late in the year

They did not beat the Irish.
Clean your shorts, grab a beer, put some deodorant on, kiss your love ones, grab another beer, and then,,, chill

Couple thoughts:

1. Coming off two emotional wins, in the middle of midterms, and team is banged up. We had a lot going against us.

2. Blitzes, we don’t need no stinkin blitzes. Just rush 3 with Okwara, Kareem and Tillery all damn day.

3. O-line needs re-shuffling. Banks and Lugg need to get a look. The current lineup can’t take us to the promised land.

4. I’m happy as a clam with the win. Stay undefeated and no major injuries. Let’s hope we come out of the bye week healthy and firing on all cylinders.

Huh? Maybe the weirdest post I've seen on here.

Only thought.

1. ND isn't the only team learning a very tough lesson that "winning is hard". This week has been stuffed with grind it out games where highly ranked teams are either escaping or getting snared.

Glad we pulled out. 7-0 and top 4.
OL needs to get better, we’re confused and outworked all game.

Yep Florida and Ohio state we’re in the same boat.

...and georgia is losing. so there's that to brighten our day.

Yeah but that just plays into the SEC narrative. “We have some many elite teams, we eat our own by beating up each other”

Can't believe I got in your head for the whole game. It's a little weird.

Icky, I know you have your own residence. Why so eager to live somewhere else? Unhappy home?

LOL.. just funnin' with you. Enjoy the win. I went head to head with some folks too during the game. All good. We're all Irish.

Two quick thoughts:

1. ND now has a tell. Dexter is the main back and when Jones comes in it’s for pass protection. I think jones only had one or two carries.

2. The pass rush on the last Pitt play was awesome and sealed the game. They only brought 3 against what looked like at least 5 or 6 and forced the throw.
