So much about this loss was disappointing and inexcusable so it's hard to get past the frustration.

But.

ND played a D- game against a really good team on the road at night, at high altitude, with multiple players hurt and/or sick, during which the coordinators shit the bed, and still should've won.

ND is still the favorite to win the national championship. We get Miami at home, at night. Win and the dream is alive.

Bizarre take. If you wanna say the clock operator started late and leave it at that I get it. To be like college football isn’t a sport that the clock needs to be precise is just…..no? That is not just a quirky thing you have to accept like a strike zone being tight by one ump. A clock is a clock.

He doesn't even try to hide his hatred of ND

The postgame "how bad did you lose" data suggests BYU dominated and ND was lucky the game was even close. And that's consistent with what everyone watched; if the refs don't throw a flag it would have been 28-10 at one point.

We've been favored in our "big games" each of the past two years, and probably will be against Miami. We've seen that bad coaching can overcome a betting line. Maybe that will change, but it's not the way I'd bet.

Credit ND for playing horribly on O & D but rallying back but BYU didn’t do themselves any favors w/ the ill-advised fake punt. The fumbled punt and the pick by Sanders

Ah, so he’s just like the other random dumb fuck asshats on X that have been pushing this crap. The literally only second of the time keeping process that’s not subjective is the last one. It requires no input to go to 0. Again, if they want to say the game was over because that play started late then I want the two seconds that ticked off two plays early.

It's very obvious, we'll see if the coaching staff fixes it. Obviously they didn't the last 3 weeks.

Craig only has snap issues on passing plays because he lowers his rear end as he's snapping to stand up for pass pro and the ball comes out low, in run blocking he keeps his rear end up high while snapping to drive into the defender.

Since we're in the bowels of the BYE week, theory time.

I don't think MF sleeps well on the road. I'm not sure if it's travel, nerves, or the hotel thing, but at home games he looks like his GQ self. On road game, he's always puffy-eyed and looks glossed.

Has to be a little unsettling knowing that you're in a hotel hundreds of miles away and at home there is a devilishly handsome neighbor just feet away.
