Overall defense did great.

On 3rd and 19 with 15 seconds left you do not need Bertrand on the field with Liufau. Two linebackers covering no one in the middle of the field. You know EXACTLY where they have to go with the ball.

Second, on last play of the game… you know they are going to run it straight ahead. You have to sell out there and instead we have no one on the left side of the field. You have a timeout. Take it!

we did not have a timeout left.

 

[IrishLax]

LOL. ND only had ten players on the field on the last play.

Embarrassing. Fire this guy now.

Wait is this for real?

 

[MacIrish75]

Wait is this for real?

We only have 3 down linemen. I wondered what we were doing in real time. Turns out, it was just that nobody was there.

 

[Katzenboyer]

Wait is this for real?

Yep.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I have a hard time blaming Golden for holding tOSU to 10 pts for all but the last 10 seconds. He also called the game well enough for Brown to have 2 opportunities to intercept the ball. I'm just hugely disappointed but it's hard for me to pin blame on anyone. The team fought hard and came up short.

 

[NDMatt91]

Wait is this for real?

Yep. Mike Frank and Greg from ISD just counted them.

 

[DCDomer]

The 10 men thing is 100% confirmed. I'm gonna throw up.

 

[calvegas04]

Just saw we had 10 players on the final TWO plays!

 

[IrishLax]

Bro what the actual fuck

 

[Plankton]

Golden and the staff have to be better than that in those moments. Inexcusable.

 

[Katzenboyer]

He will continue to make mistakes, and be conservative, and have poor tackling teams. He is not a P5 coordinator.

We need to accept we’re a 9-3 team until he’s no longer with the program.

 

[irishff1014]

These coordinators are awful.

And Freeman allowed Parker to get cute instead of saying no run the ball. I want freeman to win so bad but he can’t when he continues to beat himself.

 

[FOTY977]

He should pack his shit TONIGHT

 

[BabyIrish]

I thought he actually had a great game plan. He limited big plays throughout. Just had two defensive breakdowns that led to the big plays for OSU that sealed it.

Although it’s crazy that ten men on the field happened two plays in a row. Has to notice that.

Not when your DC had 10 players on the field for the last two plays. That is unacceptable. You are wrong.

 

[IA4irish]

Al Golden revolutionizing new defense featuring 10 players. Will be interesting to see if it catches on

 

[irishff1014]

we did not have a timeout left.

Not that we could have used it. You can’t take back to back time outs anymore.

 

[Irishdrunk]

Using only 10 players is something a Bryan Kelly team would do right?

 

[Ndaccountant]

Using only 10 players is something a Bryan Kelly team would do right?

No, a BK team loses it before that point.

 

[NDRock]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

 

[Irishdrunk]

No, a BK team loses it before that point.

Either way we lose.

 

[Riddickulous]

No, a BK team loses it before that point.

With BK it was either an utterly humiliating 4+ TD loss or a gut-wrenching loss like this one. No inbetween.

 

[stlnd01]

He should pack his shit TONIGHT

Seriously? We held one of the two or three best offenses in college football to 17 points.
Doesn't excuse 10 men on the field at the end, or the soft pass rush all night. But our D playcalling was more than well enough to win this game.

And did it with limited pressure on the Qb.

 

[bobbyok1]

10 on the field for the LAST TWO FREAKING PLAYS! We played with 10. Took a timeout, and sent 10 back out there for the last play of the game.

That is a fireable offense.

Whoever's job it was to have 11 guys on the field needs to get lost. That's not excusable

 

[greyhammer90]

Honestly, other than the 10 men thing, I'm more angry at Keon Keeley than anyone on the defensive staff tonight. We just needed one genuine pass rushing threat tonight lol. Kid could've been a legend.

 

[T-Boone]

I am too sad to get fired up over this yet.

Eh. He's a true freshman. Has he done much for Bama? But to your point yes one guy in our front four who could get home would've been a gamechanger. Baptiste was a warrior though.

 

[Luckylucci]

And at no point does Al Washington note that he has 3 DL on the field for a goal line situation.
