I’m dying here. Everything and every break went SCs way except for that last drive. Thank god on this one. Take away a shit load of huge mistakes (3 big ones) and we have some hope. Buchner didn’t run enough, we didn’t run enough but we pulled one out that destiny tried to give to SC.

The state of South Carolina was good to us this year. ACC champs and beat another SEC team.

I watched maybe ten minutes real time if this game,… I saw:

Four SC touchdowns
Two pick sixes


Every time I tuned in something disastrous was happening. I’m really surprised they pulled it off… very happily surprised.

Laughing at all South Carolina fans that are complaining about the penalty because pulling and pushing people off a pile has been a penalty for years.

A much needed win for the postseason momentum. I love seeing Buch lead this team to a victory. Seems like a great young man. He deserves it. Also, very clearly talented.

However, my feelings on him were confirmed. He’s a talent but the talent, at the moment, I don’t believe outweighs the inconsistency. He’s too inconsistent to win double digit consecutive games. Especially against better teams. At least not yet. A few thousand passes from now after Hartman takes ND to the playoff. I’d love to see what that looks like then.

I was impressed with his arm tonight but man he made some dumb mistakes

Overall I think this was a step forward for him. After the first quarter his throws looked good even if some decisions were bad.

The odds he becomes a successful QB at Notre Dame are higher than they were a day ago.

Our second half D made quitters out of the SC offense. Take that questionable TD out of the equation and they are shut out.

Agree with this. He needs reps, but ND can't afford to give him those at this point. MF and TR clearly believe(d) in him, but this year was a lost year for him in so many ways.

ESPN complementing ND profusely is odd.
They were all over SC's nuts until the 4th quarter. Jesse Palmer at halftime "The only way ND has a chance to win this one is if Buchner turns it around." Fucker, we were down one TD at that point and got the ball at the half. Ended up running for over 200 yards 2nd half. Suck it!

What an astute observation, Dale. People were venting in the game thread.

Good for you. You're catching on to how game threads work.
