Kelly literally did get us to the big game

There are only about 3 schools that belong on this stage.
They get the best recruits and have great coaches who are prepared to do anything to win such as what is evident by 3 players failing a PED test for the same drug.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

If we want to be elite we should be able to overcome an injury like loves until then we will never beat the best. Simple as that. For our DB’s to looks this bad because one guy is out in inexcusable

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

It’s not Kelly’s fault. He’s in a drag race with a Ford Focus. This feels like a fulcrum where the administration needs to make a decision about what we’re going to be.

It IS Kelly's Fault.

 

[Irish#1]

I’m at the game. Clemson is setting up single coverage and we have failed to put a guy over the top, but our biggest problem is a lack of pass rush and failing to call plays to counter Clemson’s blitzes.

 

[SouthSideChiDomer]

We need to at least make this close just so we don't get screwed over in future playoff consideration.

 

[AllGoldEverything]

Speed is an issue our fastest WR’s are sitting on the sidelines

I actually agree. Miles Boykin is solid, but we do NOT have a game changer at WR.

Also, calling runs and pussy ass screen passes on 3rd and long isnt going to get us anywhere against a team like this. Long needs to fix this shit and quick.

 

[Cali_domer]

We'll never get back in to the playoffs if it remains at 4 teams. Why would anyone in their right mind put us back in?

Why would we want to watch another slaughter?

I agree if we want to be a top football team, then we can handicap ourselves with grade requirements. Lets be honest, most 5-star recruits do not have 3.8+ GPA with 2100+/2400 SAT scores.

 

[irishff1014]

5 stars beat 3 and 4 stars. College football is simple. Recruit elite, play elite. We recruit very good and play very good.

Yup 2 5 stars a year for them and us 0. Over 3 years that’s 6-0 5 stars. We can’t and won’t compete with that.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Completely disagree,... if the ball stays in bounds and they don’t get three pretty flukey tds we are winning,... they did NOT dominate us by three scores, the ball just bounced that way. Sell your bulkshit elsewhere. I’m not saying we are the better team, just that every bounce went their way rather oddly.

Put it this way...our guys have been making incredible diving catches for 5-6 yard gains. Their dudes are making those catches forty yards downfield.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

The biggest reason I'm disappointed is ND hasnt necessarily been outplayed they've been outcoached. The offensive game plan has been terrible.

 

[dang227]

I really felt ND matched up well early but they clearly are not at the level of these other teams. Depth is still an issue

Jumpin Jesus. After a whole year, I finally read a post of yours that I agree with. Well thought out and could not agree more. You may be alright after all. Lol.

 

[dad4aa]

A lot of Notre Dame fans have their heads so far up their asses that they honestly think that Notre Dame is somehow hated by ESPN or the national media and it's such horse shit. If ESPN could choose, the playoff every year would be Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Texas.

You are so full of shit I can't sit here and read your BS anymore. ESPN showed their true hate for ND with the promo they put out having every CFP team on it and replacing ND with UCF. Done and over. Shut the fuck up about your shitty employer!

Stockholm syndrome the post

Gameplan isn’t an issue. It’s drops, fumbles, and a QB missing opportunities. Players need to step up and nobody on offense has. Plenty of open options to at least get more than 3 on the board.

 

[FLDomer]

We getting out played by better players, and out coached by better coaches. Plain and simple. We needed some breaks and haven’t gotten em. It’s what I expected without the breaks but still sucks.

 

[AllGoldEverything]

The thing is....I think we can compete with this team. Look at the 1st quarter. A couple of shitty mistakes and some terrible calls by the refs have put us here.

 

[ickythump1225]

The only obstacles are Clemson's steroids and Clemson's referees. Would be really nice if we could play a fair game for once. Just once is all I ask.

Man get out of here with that excuse making bullshit. Clemson lost their best defensive player and have completely smothered us. We lose our best corner and we couldn't stop a high school team. The refs nor steroids have put the ball on the ground, thrown awful passes, called a horrible game on both sides of the ball, or dropped crucial catches.

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

Wimbush calls yet?

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Wimbush calls yet?

Why not?

This 1000%. With 8 left in the 2nd I’m thinking the analysts have nothing to say other than we “belong” and then the half happened and we’re rowing up shit creek with no paddles and and armless rower.

 

[irishtrooper]

Yup 2 5 stars a year for them and us 0. Over 3 years that’s 6-0 5 stars. We can’t and won’t compete with that.

Unfortunately our 5 stars seem to end up like Redfield and Ishaq more often than not

So how is ND proving the haters wrong?
"
I highly doubt you would say this nonsense if you were a fan of another team. Try to be an objective College football fan and not a homer "my team is greatest thing since slice bread" fan.

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

Why not?

Agree. Gotta try something.

 

[NDBoiler]

Sounds a lot like getting out coached.

 

[NorthDakota]

If your team requires every close call to go their way....they deserve what they get when the calls don’t go their way.

Nah, the fumbles, particularly the 2nd one...were big. The officials possibly took 3-7 points off the board on the first and certainly took points off the board on the 2nd one.

My brother in law is an OU alum and professor,... he just said, “Damn man they takes shots at you guys every chance they get is that normal?!”.... “Yeah man, it’s pretty standard shit. You don’t see them constantly bashing OUs history or questioning Bamas fake history to you???”

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

It IS Kelly's Fault.

But it’s not. He’s not allowed to recruit the same kind of players.
