BYU Postgame

[bkess8]

the fumble at half cost us the game. You get the FG there and we win.

Don't forget the many three and outs especially the one in the 4th that cost us the game.

 

[Katzenboyer]

I'm tired of the phony bullshit. This team never plays with more emotion than the other team. We are almost ALWAYS picking ourselves up off the mat to start games on the road against quality opponents.

We're 0-3 against teams with a pulse played since the 2024 playoff run. Our players constantly seem to turtle in big moments.

Miami is going to beat us in three weeks simply because they're going to want it more. We'll go 10-2, miss the playoffs, and decline another Pop Tarts bowl because that's "beneath ND."

At some point, the criticism is valid. This team was supposed to be different; it's not.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

- Mike Denbrock makes over 2 million dollars a year. That was absolutely atrocious.

- Chris ash wasn’t much better.

- We fumbled a freaking spike. How many times have you seen that?

- Traore should be embarrassed with that cheap shot to start the game. Really screwed us over

- CJ Carr was off. Leonard Moore was downright bad at times.

Anyone know the validity to the stomach bug thing that isd was reporting?

Yes, thank you!!!

I'm going to pretend the entire team had a triple digit fever and were puking all game in the blue tent.

I will now unite the noose I was hanging.

 

[IrishinTN]

Just can't get it done in the big game. Tired of this bullshit year after year.

 

[Jeffwantpoppers]

Wasn’t it 4th down?

No it was first down

 

[Huntr]

Wasn’t it 4th down?

1st

 

[TracyGraham]

Wasn’t it 4th down?

Pretty sure it was 1st down

 

[RipWheeler]

the fumble at half cost us the game. You get the FG there and we win.

Shit preparation cost us the game. That was an inexcusable gameplan on both sides of the ball. BYU sucks and ND still almost beat them playing like a JV team.

 

[Connman89]

Do we even practice QB spikes? The beat should have so many questions this week.

 

[MacIrish75]

You can’t go back and play the “what if” game.

Here is what did happen:

Jayden Sanders INT.

Nolan James run into a 7 man box for -4.
CJ designed run for 0.
Pass to NJJ for 7.

That doesn’t cut it after a huge, POTENTIALLY GAME- SEALING turnover.

 

[FU BK]

Should of let them score before decided to bring the house and had more time to work with. Still had chances, but 4 seconds left for one play after a 1st down...but hey, some us dont know ball.

 

[IA4irish]

the offensive series after the pick in the 4Q was so fucking bad. just terrible

I can’t even describe how pissed I was. Walton wasn’t in. They loaded the box and we take a loss with James jr. Then a freaking qb keeper with Carr. That lost us the ball game

 

[ndstudent]

Isn’t an investment meant to payoff over time?

In the transfer portal world you have no idea what the timeline is. They could both easily transfer after this year, and when you look back at this season, it's objectively money that could have been spent elsewhere

 

[KMac151993]

I would have been more ok with a draw with Walton there instead of another fade that Carr can't seem to throw, he was off all night.

 

[BrianWalsh]

Let’s run for six yards a carry with Nolan James and five with Walton. But still give Williams runs right into the line of scrimmage. And then throw retarded passes

 

[dang227]

Embarrassed tonight. Same old ND. Freeman, Denbrock and Ash are a huge disappointment. It’s all bullshit. Leave no doubt my ass. Played sloppy and scared. Spend 40 million on a roster and this is how they play? Afraid to get hurt and protecting their investments and their agents. Fuck Moore, Johnson, Shuler and the rest. I’m done wasting my time on these NIL “student athletes” and their agents. Bullied up front and soft everywhere.

 

[Huntr]

A couple of times they threw/ran a route short of the sticks on 3rd.

I hate that shit.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Did Mylan Graham play tonight? That investment in him and Quincy Porter looks absolutely horrendous.

He got a fade in the final seconds.

 

[FU BK]

At least the Ft Wayne Komets kicked the shit out of Toledo tonight....I might of lost it if every one of my teams lose this weekend

 

[IrishLax]

People can act like that's the end of the world but Georgia doesn't magically suck because they lost at home to Auburn. You're not defined by a singular game where you play like ass or the other team gets lucky or whatever.

BYU has a legit, Top 10 defense and Denbrock's deficiencies show up in games like that. It was always going to be hard to get to 30+ points but they also squandered wayyyyy too many short fields and had no answer for BYU just playing tons of man coverage. Like he is not scheming guys open, at all.

The bigger problem though is Chris Ash and there is no way that team should score 28. Played comical amounts of zone and had no answers in the first half. Guys lost, misaligned on many plays including a bust that led to their winning TD. 3rd and goal from the 6, and you bring a zero blitz from depth (????) and leave a true freshman with no help and tons of space to defend. Guy fucking sucks. All his juice numbers come against bad teams where offense builds a lead and he can tee off. If you want to play zone, then you need to get better at coaching it and / or run it in such a way that you don't give up BOTH easy chunks *and* large busts. I am so over it.

 

[Jeffwantpoppers]

Should have let them score before decided to bring the house and had more time to work with. Still had chances, but 4 seconds left for one play after a 1st down...but hey, some us dont know ball.

No Freeman should have called a timeout after the first and goal to make BYU run another play before the 2 minute warning.

 

[MacIrish75]

Like I’ll stop directing the F-Bomb at Mike Denbrock, fine, but holy crap that was the worst second half playcalling I’ve ever seen in my life.

 

[IA4irish]

Do we even practice QB spikes? The beat should have so many questions this week.

Carr doesn’t even know how to be under center. Not joking I think that’s what threw him off

 

[#1rish]

Who was that at the top of the screen on the last play? Him and TE ran an X crossing route and was wide open. I know the play called for a pass to the right but damn.

 

[Tejas]

I was born in April of 89. We haven’t won dick since I’ve been alive. This is my fault gentlemen. My bad

You just missed it by a hair, it was amazing

 

[NDMatt91]

Yes. He had put up yards today than Quincy Porter and Mylan Graham have put up all season. I have no idea what happened with Marsh's portal recruitment, but no matter how you slice the investment in the two OSU recievers has been terrible

The thing that people need to realize is that it's not even about just Nick Marsh. There were still multiple experienced WR's with proven production in the portal. Reed Harris, for example, is having a really good year for ASU. He fit the ND profile - played at a private school (BC), had ivy league offers out of HS, etc. ND, apparently, didn't even go after him. He was still in the portal when they took Graham and Porter.

The grade for Graham and Porter can't be anything besides an "F" right now.

 

[NotKoon]

Every single thing that happened after that pick are the demons that have defined the program. We all knew exactly what was going to happen because we’ve seen it happen 100 times over
Terrible drive when you have a chance to end the game? Check

Giving up a touchdown on the offenses last chance to get it? Check

Losing the game at the goal line on the last play? Check

Some ridiculous home cooking from conference officials that nobody outside the fanbase will ever acknowledge? Check

A signature win for some program you’re supposed to be better than? Check

 

[slaughterhouseX]

Also, Miami escaped at home in 2OT against an incredibly mid Florida State team.

Can't wait to see all the comments saying how we're gonna get boat raced.

You sound like a fucking loser

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

The moment Traore took his dumbass targeting put the entire team behind the 8 ball right from the start

The entire defensive game plan in the first half was to sit in zone and pressure with four. Boob being a BOOB fucked that all up.

 

[Katzenboyer]

You can’t go back and play the “what if” game.

Here is what did happen:

Jayden Sanders INT.

Nolan James run into a 7 man box for -4.
CJ designed run for 0.
Pass to NJJ for 7.

That doesn’t cut it after a huge, POTENTIALLY GAME- SEALING turnover.

Yup. Game was lost right there. That's not a team out for blood; that's a team playing patty-cake.

But at least we have cool fucking sayings at team meetings, so I guess everything is fine.
