Had Kelly stayed we would have gotten Jayden Daniels or JT Daniels to add to ND’s QBs
According to one of the pods, only reason ND got Coan last season was b/c Buchner’s health was questionable or they would’ve rolled with him last season like they did this season. You’re right, ND should’ve went to the portal…and I think they’ve admitted as much…but they didn’t. To say BK would’ve is no guarantee.

I don't see how that's even remotely possible.

They were going to roll with a true freshmen who didn't go through spring and hadn't played legitimate football in 2 years?

Health is one thing, but Buchner needed time to develop and learn the system when he hadn't been on campus for more than a few months.

Absolutely Horrible slate of games Saturday....especially if you tuned into ND, which in itself wasn't very fun to watch, and didn't watch the end of the Clemson/Cuse game. Blah!

What did I ever do to you? I mention how much I hate this guy's offense and since that conversation all you do is promote him constantly on this website!

All that did is make me realize how bad Drew Pyne really is. I watch that and see the throws from Phil and wish we still had him. Now I am more sad about this season than I was after Saturday.

I have watched WF a few times the last couple of seasons. We will have to just go our separate ways on this subject. I don't like that offense. Sure these highlights look great, but they don't show the true aspects of the slow mesh offense. I am jus not a fan and I don't want to watch that offense every week.

Only 8 teams in America have scored more offensive touchdowns than they have. That gets you past Marshall and Stanford at home is my guess.

Sam Hartman is 36 years old I think, to be fair. One thing about them that I noticed is they have the big physical WR you can chuck it to downfield. That aspect isn't unfamiliar to what we've seen under ND with BK.

I think Wake's offense is more plausible to be run a a blue blood program than Coastal Carolina's. I enjoy watching both.

I get it. Wake Forest scores a lot of points (albeit against a really bad ACC). There are a lot of reasons someone should want Ruggiero to be the OC of their team. If ND were to hire him (I doubt it) then I would cheer for him and Old Notre Dame. I also know that I would be frustrated watching that offensive system.

I want to believe you do, but I'm getting my wires crossed up here. LOL.

ND plays 6 ACC teams in 2023. Including Wake Forest.

It is pretty simple. I have an understanding of why you and others may want him and his system. I hate the system and am not entertained when watching it and that is ultimately why I watch sports - to be entertained.

Yes, the ACC stinks...

Last time I saw the program this message board is dedicated to win a National Championship, I was the same age that my oldest child is now.

I just want to win. I have Netflix and Hulu to entertain me. Fun is winning, and winning is fun.
