2023 Watch Party: WEEK ONE

[IA4irish]

Duke should be up way more if not for those two terrible turnovers

 

[Giddyup]

It seems that Riley Leonard kid is a talented qb.

 

[IrishLion]

 

[WilliamWallace]

We really need Clemson to win this game

 

[NDPhilly]

We really need Clemson to win this game

Disagree - highly unlikely a 11-1 ND doesnt make it in. A 10-2 ND isnt making it in regardless.

 

[GATTACA!]

It seems that Riley Leonard kid is a talented qb.

He reminds me of Daniel Jones.

 

[IrishLax]

Yeah this Clemson team can’t even score on 1st and goal from the 1. How on earth did they come into this year as a top 10 team?

 

[IA4irish]

The Go-Kart scene at Duke is going to be even more off the hook if they win tonight

 

[irishff1014]

Special teams special teams

 

[Reaper97]

If not for two bonehead plays, Duke is up 16-0 with the ball.

 

[Wild Bill]

Clemson looked better with dj ugabadoogie.

 

[NDPhilly]

Clemson is a great case study in how much QB play matters. Watson and Lawrence carried Kelly-ND caliber rosters to titles. Only UGA, Bama, and OSU have recruited to a level where they can maintain consistent elite teams regardless of QB play. Even OSU is somewhat of a question mark there.

 

[irishff1014]

Leonard isn’t that good of a passer.

 

[WilliamWallace]

I’m not sure how they’re ranked higher than ND

 

[Giddyup]

Looking at his stats Leonard had a 140 passer rating last year.

 

[IrishBoognish]

I'm seriously a little worried that NC State might break a lot of dude's spirit on this board.

Not that I think we'll lose, I dont... We might jail sex em. But if it's close and turns into a fight... there's some folks here that might think some desperate thoughts.

 

[Lberry]

The more 2023 ND opponents I watch, the more Sneed needs to get ready big time. So many athletic QBs.

 

[WilliamWallace]

If tOSU and Clemson both suck, we have to go undefeated. Even if they still suck when we beat them then our SOS still looks ok.

Edit: Maybe not, they could both lose a few. If so, we likely take a hit. Probably still need to go undefeated. Gonna be an interesting year.

 

[Reaper97]

The more 2023 ND opponents I watch, the more Sneed needs to get ready big time. So many athletic QBs.

NCState Coach, Dave Doeren, today, literally said, “as a former Linebacker coach…” and went on to talk about how impressed he is with ND’s veteran linebackers & even singled out Bertrand & how good he is.

Cool. Doesn't matter.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Run the ball Duke

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Duke isn’t good enough to make this many mistakes. And Clemson isn’t good enough to capitalize on them. This is fun.

 

[Reaper97]

Cool. Doesn't matter.

Cool.
You have zero knowledge of football.
Zero.

 

[WilliamWallace]

Cool. Doesn't matter.

It does matter, it’s a part of the reason we’re having success. I’m not sure what you’re watching?

 

[Lberry]

What is your point? Do you miss street fighting or something?

Everyone with eye balls can see we're going to play many athletic QBs this year. Sneed is going to be needed. Who cares who some other coach mentioned, unrelated to my point?

 

[Lberry]

The NC state coach saying JD is really good matters?

 

[NDPhilly]

tough to believe Klubnik will survive the season with all the hits he takes.

 

[KPENN]

Considering how tough points have been to get, I’m not really understanding Duke going for 1

 

[WilliamWallace]

If opponents see his play then it speaks for itself. Of course Sneed will be needed. But Bertrand will be counted on. That’s a big difference. Stop trying to downplay his contributions. The kid is giving it his all, and he’s successful doing so, and this team benefits from it.

I didn't even mention Bertrand lol.
