Kizer will be in the discussion to start next year. Let's not write him off simply because he hasn't started a game yet. If Golson isn't here I'd say there is a legit shot for Kizer to compete closely w Zaire for the job next fall.

Sun Belt Conference - Sun Belt Conference Primary Bowl Partners Announce Selections

Texas State passed over despite having an equal or better record and beating two of the teams that received bowl invites

also this is kind of sad:

UAB Blazers' chance of at-large bowl bid basically nonexistent - ESPN

IMO, Kizero has no chance of starting next year unless at least two really bad things happen. Ala, off the field or injuries.

I win against Penn St. would be awesome but a loss would be catastrophic for me with the sh*t talking I'd receive in my hometown.

Does anyone know how healthy we are expected to be for the bowl game? Who's doubtful and who's definitely out?

Yeah I wouldn't hear the end of it either.

Golson transferring and being left with starting a QB who has a few quarters of experience going into a make-or-break 2015 season that is rather front-loaded with Texas and Georgia Tech in the first month...

Agree here. Golson is a necessity IMO for 2015. This is a classic example of a Catch-22, and I will be happy with whatever choice is made for the Bowl game, but the guy sitting is the only one who needs to be happy.

Ugggggh. Jack better call El Paso and say "WE'RE COMING!!!!!!"

*A matchup against Auburn may legitimately have our players sucking their thumbs by the end of the first.

Greaaaatttt can't wait to be harassed all game.

Would be an ASS WHOOPING.

At one point we were headed to the playoffs. Now we are headed for an iceberg in the middle of the north Atlantic.

Fuck.

in what game? belk bowl?

 

[gkIrish]

Auburn would take us behind the wood shed, shoot us in the back of the head, reanimate our dead corpse, cut its head/legs/arms off and scatter the remains across the seven continents.

 

[phillyirish]

Screw it, bring on Auburn. I'm not scared. If we lose, then we lose whatever it was expected the season cant get any worse anyway. But if we win, and that a BIG IF, it could put a positive spin on the season and give a boost to recruiting. Maybe are chances wouldn't be so far fetched with us being a little healthier, maybe reminiscent of our early season form.

Finally, a glass half full kind of dude.

I agree. Bring on Auburn!

I'm sure Bryant and Folston want to run it down Auburn's throat. Bryant decommited from there before Oklahoma and Folston was told he wasn't good enough. Please Kelly, run to set up the pass with Zaire just once!!!

They'd both probably sit so Cam could churn out 1.2 YPC but look good doing it.

Or fumble it with the game on the line.

 

[returnofthemack]

If we face any team that runs a hurry-up spread offense, let alone a team like Auburn that runs it a high level, we will get annihilated.

 

[Hammer Of The Gods]

Us playing Auburn would make the Serbian Film look like a Disney Movie. I pray to the Gods that this doesn't happen. Holly Hell. We need to play a Big Ten School, Only Chance we win.

Bryant was never an Auburn commit.

As for Folston, they wanted him. But his interest in them was not as high as many assumed it to be.

You are right. I could of sworn Bryant was committed to Auburn early. I've heard the rumor that Folston tried to commit to Auburn on signing day but wasn't let in.

Based on these options, IMO these are the only 2 opportunities for ND to "escape" with a victory. I'm glad that they are playing a bowl game for the additional practices and game experience for the "youngsters", but not feeling it for them going out on a winning note this year.

I'm totally confused; I thought the interested bowls were going to pick ND by lottery. If that is the case, how can anyone predict?

 

[ShawneeIrish]

Does anyone know what time bowls like Belk and music City will announce their matchups? While I dont expect great things I would like to score Music City tickets if the Irish end up there.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

ESPN just said Music City vs Tennessee. Nothing official though.

I'd be satisfied with that. Winnable game.
