I'm worried about this as well. As someone has stated already, most of their defense is still there along with the D-Coordinator. They will likely rally around that and I could see Fennwick running for 4 TD's easily. It's would suck living every day knowing that we could never take them down.

Please stay forever. I love this so much.

So who plays big DE if Na Na and JJB both opt out?

I'm hoping JJB plays but most likely I can see ND using Jr there and rotating Ford and Vernon. Botelho and Burnham play Vyper, hopefully we see a substantial amount of Traore. Or maybe they keep Jr at Vyper and give Burnham the reps at Big End(He was listed on the depth chart at Big E). I personally want to see Ford and Traore get some tick.

Most of our defense seems like it’s playing. Not sure why they’d run on us like that when no one else has.
I’d bet it’s more like a 10-7 game than a bunch of touchdowns. But who knows, really.

Burnham played some Big End throughout the year. I would think he gets first crack at it or a large snap share of it.

Would Na Na play not that he’s in the portal?

 

[IrishBoognish]

Just win the damn game. Being 0-3 vs the bearded clams will make life unbearable for those of us living in Oregon.

As an Oregon man myself, I approve of this message.

The only ND player to ever do something like that is Litchfield Ajavon

Litchfield Ajavon

Speaking of Litch, he's now a production assistant at NBC Sports. Way to use that ND network kid.

OSU safety Akili Arnold in the portal. That’s 2 of their top players from the secondary now in the portal. His brother Easton who led them in tackles with 107 is also in the portal.

Tough break for the whisker biscuits.

Independent Powerhouse how do you think this helps our beloved Irish?

I'd go after both of them lol

I'm so glad he's back. It's a Festivus Miracle!

Not to be confused with @Brett_Ncmurphy.

Is there a reason we don’t know who will or won’t be playing in this game? We already know half of OSUs team won’t.

Freeman said players will be announcing in their own time but it sounds like he knows already

Right, saw that. Just curious why only a few have announced?

 

[stlnd01]

It does seem to be taking awhile for even some fairly obvious opt-outs (Alt, Estime) to declare. Not sure why?
Maybe more of the announced opt-outs at other schools have been portal guys, not necessarily people bailing to prep for the draft.

I know this has been said before... But, It Is Amazing that Bowl games have turned into scrimmage options.

1 way to fix bowl games.
The 12 team playoff should be created after the Bowl games.

Take the Championship series out and introduce bowl games to finalize the 12 team playoff.

Prister and Sampson saying they both heard JD Bertrand could opt out

If true, we’re getting into bizarre opt out territory now.

 

[Giddyup]

Meh. Get the young guys reps. Pretty soon we’re gonna have to offer bonuses for guys to play in a bowl.

.....why? lol

Like what does he gain from an opt out? This is likely to be his last opportunity to play a competitive football game and he's already committed to playing in the senior-bowl-shrine-game-glorified-practice-whatever-it's-called.

I love that idea. Best way to get anyone to do anything the aren't predisposed to do is to incentivise.

 

[Giddyup]

Yeah. Give future udfa a 10 pack of Costco cookies.

Now every CFB player thinks they have to sit. It’s like nah dog u ain’t close to McCaffrey’s world.

95% of bowl opt outs are highly questionable.
