Dear lord he’s asking his special teams coach if he’s comfortable with the distance based on where we’re kicking off of his pregame assessment. Give it a fucking rest man.
So what the hell were they doing/discussing the 10-15 minutes (due to timeouts) before the 3rd down play? Discussing where the nd fans were in the stadium to celebrate with? lol

Everyone knew nd was running it 3 straight plays and most likely not getting a first down

It all worked out, but it was sloppy

Probably how they wanted to approach the third down play. Are you really this dense? For a guy who lied about playing ball you really have no concept of what happens in a game. It’s astounding how you think you have to critique every play. Pay attention to the guys here who actually have competed and how they comport themselves in these threads. You could learn something.

It was after the third down play…it was fourth down and freeman had no clue (it seemed) what they should do on fourth . We had a timeout to figure it out thankfully

I haven’t lied about playing … nor do I care if you believe me or not. Announcers awarded nd the win before we had it locked up and it seemed to me that freeman wasn’t sure what to do.

Funny, I also got my varsity letter today from my school I played at to donate and it came with a few free passes to any game of my choice (not football or hockey) since those tickets are at times sold out. There’s a clue to the school I played at.

I wasn’t a yes man player in the sense I just did what coaches said, I tried to understand the why behind it. I think freeman struggles game day with the “what to do and why” in big moments so he just goes off analytics to make quick decisions. But analytics don’t tell you everything. I think he can lay out a thorough good long term plan but struggles with quick decision making

To be honest I would’ve punted. A lot could’ve gone wrong there and I was surprised they kicked the 46 yard FG. So I assume that’s what the conversations were about.

Funny how we win and you are still criticizing Freeman. Are you a coach? You must be the best one ever because you seem to have all the answers.

kicking a fg under 50 is far more probable to make than fourth and 5 or more so it should have been easy decision. Punting puts ball in A&M hands, other two options seal the game

It’s just the college past athlete program for all sports… it’s their tracking mechanism and donation program for athletes

Everyone criticized freeman all game long until 3 minutes left… I’m not backing off just because we won. He and the team need to improve

Put up or shut up, right? Where’d you play?

And if it’s Purdue, you can keep your cream corn fed girls. Indiana, however…I’m there. 😉
It has to be a school that has good hockey attendance. He played cornerback at either MSU, Wisky, or Minnesota is my guess.

I haven't criticized him. I would take freeman over BK any day of the week. He still has much to learn, but in big games Freeman has not had our ass handed to us like our predecessor has.

ND/A&M was the highest rated game yesterday……edging out UGA/Clemson with Miami/FL in 3rd place.

I feel like this is the most talk to hear myself talk statement after week 1 of college football. Isn't it widely understood that week 1 is riddled with mistakes and the need to adjust from a practice mind sight to the game actually counting. Things need to be cleaned up...which is a big reason teams schedule cupcake matchups to open the season.

Maybe, just maybe, MF realizes that in game decision aren't currently a strength of his and he was seeking insurance. I'd much rather he clarify, then just shoot from the hip in that situation.

They were discussing why that Douchebag that thinks he knows football on IE hasn’t been banned yet

The guy behind me at the game said the same thing and i told him he’s nuts. If you cant trust your special teams operation and your kicker to ice a game from 46 yds, what are we even doing? As a coach you want your guys to go out and win a game, you have to trust them to do it when its time.
