Welp, that should be game boys. We know ND is bad at 2nd half adjustments.

They need to give Tobias any remaining passes. I wonder if he might go portal.

Anyone else get scared when BMO grabbed his hamstring?
My 70 year old dad informed me that’s a dance some player in the NFL does. I had no clue and thought he just pulled a hammy lol.

I'm shocked how bad our pass rush is. I thought someone would be developed enough to cause havoc.

Defense stepped up at the end and TBH, they haven't been terrible. 14 pts are on a fake punt and TB pick 6. We're down 7 and we get the ball to start the 2nd. Need to keep momentum up

The defensive line pass rush is scary bad without Foskie and Justin A.

Botelho was getting some on that last drive. He hit Rattler good on the play before the Int.

Did your dad get sturdy after that?
Normally my 70 year old dad regales me with stories about how the players played “in his day” and that “they didn’t do all that bullshit dancing around, they saved that for the cheerleaders.”

He’s very open to modern trends.

I think this illustrates what a horrible job Clark Lea did recruiting. I just took a look at his all-time ND recruits on 247 that he was the primary recruiter for. Outside of JOK, woof.

Buddy did it ever work out perfectly for Lea. He rode the efforts of previous coaches to the DC job and had success until the bottom was about to fall out and he landed at his dream job as a HC.

Great rationalization. Thanks

Yeah but Rattler's thrown 26 passes in one half and we haven't laid a hand on him. Inside guys are particularly bad, all bull rush and get no movement whatsoever. Outside guys haven't done much either.

I'm afraid the halftime adjustment has to be to blitz more. Might not work but vs the four man rush its just one 8 yard completion after another.

“Did someone just say we need to blitz the safeties?”

Here’s to hoping Sam H. actually comes, and corrects a lot of our offensive woes. But the Defense? Idk what’s up with our Defense. They look lost. I wouldn’t have thought they’d look this bad with Freeman being a defensive guy. If anything I would’ve thought they’d have been the strength of this team by a large margin this season given the QB concerns.
