Keeping betting moneylines on opposing teams, you have a two week streak going now
Tbf I was doing the same the previous two games but I think I found the total bet that’s keeping us going. Last year it was only $40 a game & I couldn’t bet on the NIU game this year had to keep increasing it to find the sweet spot.

Haven’t been able to watch the last 6 quarters but holy shit with this offense. CJ Carr already playing himself onto draft boards. Legit future #1 pick material. What an incredible storyline to get behind

I love mixing in some 11 am games. Honestly wish we had more. Irish played great and now can enjoy the rest of the day.

Defense deserves props. They weren’t perfect and Arkansas had some dumb mistakes. Tyler Horka tweeted out “this defense is still not good.” This defense isn’t going to go from being terrible to top 10 overnight. Improvement is a good thing

CJ Carr is the truth. I think this offense is better than 2015 weapons wise.

Best offense since when?

1968? I will defer to OMM for his take. Best ND offense I have seen in my 28 years

One thing about football is that there can always be drops, missed open throws, turn overs. Good defense can sometimes just be giving the offense no margin for error and not necessarily complete domination.

Make them earn every converted 3rd down and eventually you will get some stops. It won’t take many stops to give ND’s video game offense a chance.

Yeah, that's the thing, our offense probably affects their offense in unseen ways. They knew coming into this game their path to victory likely included 40 points and long drives. That puts a lot of pressure on a team and they start to press and make mistakes.

The "score a TD every time you have the ball" gameplan seems to work decently well. I wonder why no past ND coaches have tried it.
Yeah they were committed to it when you saw that fake punt. Sadly it led to a missed 4th & 1 but wtf was that?! Balls!!!

The vibe has shifted on the team. More aggressive and less reactive and passive. I was relatively optimistic we would beat Arkansas but the interview with MF on Gameday he just seemed locked in. I had a good feeling. Got to carry that for 8 more (and beyond 🤞).

CJ Carr is an absolute machine. So precise, so confident at such a young age, such a slow heartbeat. It will be a real pleasure getting to watch him perform and get even better over the next two seasons. The connection that he has with Malachi Fields, Jordan Faison and Eli Raridon is fantastic.

Both Love and Price are absolutely electric, and they were absolutely terrific again today. Price has such juice with the ball in his hands. It's hard to comprehend how slippery and quick he is in a small space.

Defensively, it didn't look pretty early, but they got things under control as the game went on. As much as anything, they played physically out there. Rubio was a tone setter inside. Tae Johnson looks like he could be next in the line of very good Notre Dame safeties, and that's not to shade Adon Shuler, but Johnson has a fluidity and burst to him that is natural to him. I agree with Dale from a post earlier that they can definitely upgrade from Drayk Bowen - he's a tough player, but he's a tackle to tackle player. Perhaps Madden Faraimo is that guy down the road.

Terrific road win, and hopefully the arrow keeps pointing upward.

I just worry that 10-2 doesn't make the playoffs with the remaining slate of games.
Maybe, but 10-2 will be good for the playoffs most years. We need Miami to go undefeated and win the ACCCG, and no second bid from the Big 12 either. 5 teams from the SEC or B1G will be tougher to sell.
