Don't boo the Defense!!!

[jonesman]

That was about as UGLY a first half as you could imagine. HOWEVER, I was overall pretty happy with the D. They played tough, especially with there backs to the wall.

The offense and special teams owe the D an apology!!! Dayne Crist has been BAD. Theo fumbles one and almost another. Jonas, what do I say!!! YUCK.

My only big issue on D is DARIUS FLEMING. He has bit on about every dive allowing BJ to get too many extra yards.

I will keep my chin up and CHEER CHEER for the IRISH!!

agreed

I agree, and in my opinion dont boo anyone. All booing the offense does is lower their confidence even more. The whole team needs to calm down and play the way they know how to

 

[ACamp1900]

isn't that so Notre Dame football though??

now the D plays well and the Offense costs us 20 some points...

 

[military_irish]

Agreed the defense has only gave up 9 points but mostly because the USF offense has had great field position.

 

[jonesman]

I agree with that booing at half is not good. The kids needs some darn support.

 

[RyCo1983]

I have saved my booing for Kelly's play calling.

 

[Veer option]

The d played very well!!

 

[RyCo1983]

Yeah the D has played pretty good considering the dynamic offense they are up against...and the AWFUL field position that the offense has put them in.

 

[jonesman]

Flying,
There has been nothing wrong with Kelly's playcalling. We moved the ball. Kelly knows he has a QB with limited accuracy. He may go to Rees in the second half.

Whatever you say chief.

Just let Tommy manage it and we can hang in there.

The defense is the reason we are only down 16, i cant wrap my head around this one at all

 

[Golden_Domer88]

To blame the D even a little bit is nothing more than ignorant

 

[rikkitikki08]

I have a feeling this game is going to be finished tomorrow

 

[notredomer23]

Cierre wood and the defense are the only positives. I left. If the game resumes I'll go back maybe but for now I'm at buffalo wild wings

 

[BleedBlue&Gold]

The D played well, just in a bad situation alot in this game.

 

[cLaRk_JoNeS]

Im just confused how lynch has only seen a couple plays, also Dan Fox might be 1 of the worse lbs ive ever seen.
The D Line is getting no pressure at all, i honestly dont understand why the freshman arent in atleast 50% of the plays.

What # is the freshamn niklas? heard his name mentioned once but i dont know who to look for.

 

[koonja]

This isn't the defense's fault, AT ALL. BUT, I was expecting more out of the D. I expected them to light the world on fire and that's just not happening. They do look slow.

 

[DillonHall]

Game resuming around 7:30

 

[RyCo1983]

Game resuming around 7:30

I'm looking at a 7:40 or 7:45 resumption.

I agree. In fact, booing in your own living room just looks psychotic.

Re: Fleming, I agree. I also think Fox should be playing better.

Players returning to field, we are in business
