Well look whosis flexing. Dude, you’re not that great of a football mind and you come off as a whiney bitch.You want to be fooorball smart and you fall well short. you’re not a fan. You want to be smarter than everyone else.. you lose in every conceivable way. Do us all a favor and post less. You’re awful
I think its actually been pretty obvious watching through 4 games that while we sre not accumulating sacks, they have been disruptive and there have not been many instances at all of a QB sitting in the pocket with all day to throw. Nobody has run the ball well against us as is evidence by basically every metric available. I think its a narrative that is growing legs simply because people are nervous about something maybe happening that hasnt happened yet, versus the on field performance this far.
You aware he got up and got the strip sack, yes?
Definitely. Aside from finishing these pressure opportunities, a few things i think there actually is significant room for improvement are 1. eliminating penalties 2. Tackling better in general and 3. Fisher…he hasn’t been awful but he also hasnt been anywhere near as dominant as I think many felt he would be in year 3. We need him to be better.
We all know what causes the most weinie shrinkage on the board, and it isn’t any words
To add to that, Weren’t there multiple penalties on each of their scoring drives that assisted them?Look, they gave up 17 points to a MAC school, and it did not look pretty defensively, but these stats say they held up pretty damn well. CMU was just super efficient on their scoring drives, I felt like their OC called one hell of a game.
Tobias getting a big TD and some confidence going into OSU is huge. Excited to see him grow as a player
I’m normally a big Pete fan but I didn’t like the combo of pre-game “there’s not much short of a total catastrophe that will change my opinion about this team heading into the OSU game” and the post-game “their performance changed my opinion of the team heading into the OSU game” when ND covers and doubles CMU in yardage. It was an uncharacteristically reactionary take from Pete.
Weird....everyone was super calm here on IE during the game
Nd didn’t cover and had their starters in late into the game
I think it has to do with how good OSU looked too.
Yeah, I'm with you. Early last week, he basically said nothing can happen against CMU to change his mind for the OSU game. I don't believe anything of significance happened on Saturday to change my mind about the upcoming matchup.
Yeah. Listening to his podcast he seemed pretty impressed with what OSU did to Western Kentucky. I didn't watch but the end result looked exactly like what I expect Ohio State should to do to Western Kentucky?
Sounded like pundits expected WKU to at least challenge OSU through the air but they were effectively shut down for WKU standards as a pass-happy team.
Of the ND beat writers, my recollection is that Pete is the worst at taking inferior opponents for granted. TBF, he’s likely giving his prediction based on matchups but in CFB you have to factor in so many other things.
Don't forget about consecutive weeks of horrible reffing that's directly lead to points for both teams and points off the board for ND.
We saw vs NC State but I think using Sherwood more as a pass game weapon out of the backfield would be great
I'd prefer not needing to trick the defense to get someone open.
Using your HBack more in the pass game? Has nothing to do with “tricking” anyone.
That NC State game was not as easy as the final score indicated. It was 24-17 with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, and they had the ball inside our 20
