Blue Gold game 2015

[twig21]

Need I get that screen play going. So many times it gets batted.

 

[GoldenDomer]

I know Tillery is a talent, but your starting Center saying he cant handle a kid who should still be in high school is a little troubling. Unless he turns out to be Clowney.

 

[Irish2155]

Giving up chunk plays and home run deep balls isn't a good thing in any game

Really, b/c this game is ND vs. ND...I would say this is the one game it is ok. Seeing MZ hit him in stride is what we need to see. KVR isn't out there.

 

[jspags10pg]

I admittedly don't follow recruiting like I used to, but I thought Tillery was recruited as an OL... He's gonna play defense??

Yes, defense all the way. He's had a TON of praise from the coaches, players and reporters this spring at DT.

 

[Irish2155]

going to be hard to keep the defense off the field and try to score alot when the offense wants to go faster paced.

I agree. BK and Sanford have to figure that one out..

 

[Irish YJ]

big fella!!

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Trumbetti looks like he added some size. Getting upfield nicely.

 

[GoldenDomer]

Alright, I hope they improve a lot. And KVR isnt playing safety.

 

[Johannes]

Haha, Ronnie wanted to light someone up! Awesome.

 

[Jackalope1977]

big fella!!

Haha, that was cool.

 

[GoldenDomer]

This site would shut down if he just got his knee blown out on a low tackle.

I'm all for adding some fun, but come on...

 

[Irish2155]

Alright, I hope they improve a lot. And KVR isnt playing safety.

I think we all know Safety of all positions is worrisome. Let's hope the offense can control the ball...at this point we're not adding another safety.

 

[twig21]

It's cool to see Kelly let the kids have some fun.

 

[twig21]

Very impressed with Holmes and Hunter.

 

[Irish YJ]

Looking at the results, intangibles, and the body language, I have a gut feeling MZ is going to emerge as the 1A at some point this season.

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Vangorder with best throw of day. Texas starter confirmed

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Vangorder with 2nd best throw of day. Rack em

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

Not able to watch.. Just tell me we're getting out of this thing injury free.

 

[PANDFAN]

He pretty much has been the talk of spring ball with his play...

Not able to watch.. Just tell me we're getting out of this thing injury free.

yep game is done and yes no major injury scares

 

[BGIF]

Flutie post game.

Zaire makes the big play; Golson is more efficient

Which one's more EFFECTIVE?

Not able to watch.. Just tell me we're getting out of this thing injury free.

Nyles limped off the field early on, but came back out later on and looked fine.

Nothing else I noticed / was reported about.

 

[Old Man Mike]

You guys are better at real time analysis, but I found this game difficult to get much insight from. A few things:

1). Prosise is a monster. Kelly thinks so too;
2). Everett looked fine, but Malik continues to boggle me with his "It" factor. Hopefully he smooths the play-to-play "details" out;
3). The first team OLine looked like roadgraders when we emphasized running the ball --- OR the DLine didn't. I'll take the happier thought that our first OLine is just that good;
4). I had an impression that BVG went vanilla for a while, almost to let the offenses get something going. As the game went on, yards got tougher to find;
5). Grace was difficult to assess in run coverage, but his reactions seemed decisive --- I believe that his one leg doesn't allow him quite the forward drive yet. On pass protection, I thought that he was excellent;
6). Zaire to Fuller was only one play, but it should still quiet certain objections.

On "Glass Half Full": It would be interesting to see some serious football put in next season with the OLine intact and Zaire and Prosise in the backfield. Bring the Thunder.

 

[Riddickulous]

Zaire has got to play, even if he doesn't start.

Which one's more EFFECTIVE?

My entire thoughts of the QB battle in four simple words.

Reps

 

[mick2]

didn't see the game but the highlights didn't look all that exciting.

 

[MrIrishCanadian1]

Any chance there'll be a replay of the game somewhere? Anyone here planning on posting something for the poor saps who couldn't watch?

 

[irish o'phile]

Holmes looked good, as did Brent.

 

[KPENN]

Yep, I think both looked good. MZ just seemed to have an edge making things happen. The big thing to me, was the body language. MZ = Smiling, laughing, hungry looking. Golson was Golson, quiet, looks a bit withdrawn, perhaps too internal or cerebral

See, I have a problem with this line of thinking when it comes to body language as a whole not just here. Also, part of me thinks a lot of people are just looking for reasons to knock Golson. My gut says that if their body language was reversed people would be praising Zaire, being so focused and would say Golson was too loose and didn't care.
