Garrett seems to have no football OQ. He says things that make no sense and then the next drive contradicts what he just said previously. Really bad.

I was cracking up when he was going on and on about how Dabo has to stick with Klubnick and giving all this hype to what it would mean to the young QB and had to stop mid sentence when he saw DJ jogging onto the field.

Haven’t seen anything. I doubt we see Joseph next week, hopefully not too long. Didn’t Watts play well vs Navy last year? If no Justin A it’s Botelho SZN setting the edge.

I went to the FSU V. U game last night. Hard Rock Stadium is pretty cool but the scene after the game wasn't. Fights broke out. Typical Miami LOL. Neither team looked great but FSU totally destroyed the U. Mario Cristobal has a lot of studs coming in but long way to go.

I missed both of the great games of the evening. I hope this solidifies ND's class. Great win for Freeman. Some damn QB should flip.

Surprised? He was happy being Jerry’s puppet at Dallas for years. What kind of man who thinks for himself has any patience for that kind of role?

We’re 3 players away from being in the title hunt. QB and a couple play making receivers. Our only receiver to catch a pass was a true Frosh.

Outside of that, this team is legit. Our D is outstanding.

Maybe if Styles stops dropping the fucking ball EVERY SINGLE TIME it's thrown his way...

I'm quietly optimistic about NaNa Cross Mills Botelho being a stud group next year. I'd still take a transfer or two if they are quality, lord knows it was nice getting Chris Smith this year.

Really just a qb. Though yeah what the hell is wrong with Styles?

Jayson A is out of eligibility, but I think Justin A could come back for a 6th year. I would welcome Justin A back with open arms.

This game reminded me of Alabama 2020, except Clemson didn't have a Mac Jones or Devonta Smith. In that game we managed to get push on Alabama's Dline, and while the passing game was limited we efficiently moved the ball on the ground. Clemson didn't have the QB play or offensive firepower to overcome us last night.

One of the pods, I think ISD but maybe Irish Illustrated or Rivals, mentioned that Stuckey was quoted saying 10 was an ideal number for receivers. Looking at the roster we probably have:

Merriweather, Styles, Colzie, Thomas all probably returning (unless a shock transfer out)

Lenzy and Wilkins have 1 year of eligibility from the redshirt/Covid year, Avery Davis could potentially apply for an injury redshirt, and Salerno is listed as a Grad student. Frankly wouldn't be shocked if none of these guys return next year

The incoming class could include 4 or 5 guys: Braylon James, Greathouse, Flores, and then Kaleb Smith/Khalil Barnes if they commit.

I could see us taking 1-2 transfers, only getting more if we see a decommit or unexpected transfer

I don't think it's an overstatement to say that this fanbase had been waiting decades for a night like last night.

A HC that loves this university and sees the benefits it offers instead of viewing it as a hindrance to success. ✅

A dominant performance against a top 5 opponent. ✅

Once we get even a decent QB, the sky is the limit!

SNF was always the plan and how NBC lured him away from ESPN.
They have to spend some money on a real crew. Even Dungie was light years better than Garrett and Jac needs some seasoning in AA.
I’m sure Jac is using the ND gig as a stepping stone as well. Why not just give the gig to Burmeister? He’s currently doing PxP for the ND radio broadcast & seems content vs being the next big thing.

I’ve really enjoyed him when he’s called a game & in interviews. Plus, he’s a former backup QB at Iowa so has that much more understanding of the game.

For real.

Jayden Thomas has essentially become a TE/WR tweener. Runs routes like a WR, but blocks like a TE in the box. I love the new wrinkles with him on the wing like an extra TE. There was a big run to Diggs last night where he lined up on the right wing, but pulled around the left end and picked up a block at the first down marker.

I love our TE's, but I don't think any of them have the speed to get around the end and then out in front of the RB on a play like that.
Yes, there was a lot of creativity in the run game last night. A ton of different formations, shifting, pulling, combo’s etc. all to run ultimately the same 5 or 6 plays and outman clemson at the point of attack where the play was designed to go. Very rarely were we not helmet on helmet.
