Jan 1 | Fiesta Bowl vs Ohio State

[BeatSC]

TRU that, would have loved to play FSU. Think we could have beaten them. Guessing FSU is wishing they had played ND. At least we didn't get embarrassed by Houston.

This game was why there were people on here saying they didnt want to play OSU. It was ugly to watch, osu looked faster, more athletic, and better coached. We'll never be a real contender until we can field a better defense.

Nd is as athletic as OSU...unless you drop d linemen into coverage and play Joe Schmidt at linebacker:

Just got whooped in all phases....except punting.

Rank the middle linebacker seasons over the past 127 seasons of Notre Dame football from worst individual season to best. I'll start off with #127...

#127. Joe Schmidt (2015)

I'm glad someone is around that has game film going back to the 1800s. You must spend a lot of time analyzing past players to make such a bold statement.

C'mon, the kid gave as much as he could, and we've had worse middle linebackers. He may not have been the best, but the comment was in poor taste with awful timing.

 

[BeatSC]

Worst in recent memory. Let's go back 20 years since beyond that CFB was. A different game. Joe would have been good in the 60's.

Thank God that Iowa, MSU, and Oklahoma will all take the collective focus off our our inability to win a big bowl game. At the least score didn't end up embarrassing and we for the most part looked like we could conceivably belong on the same field as OSU.

Terrible loss to deal with. Being from ohio, the result of this game is a nightmare. Buckeye fans are the worst to deal with the rest of the year, let alone when they beat us. I got five texts after the game from "friends", one being a customer of mine (im in sales) saying either "oh" or go bucks. How am I supposed to deal with these a holes?

Be straight up

Tell them to go fuck themselves and choke on a dick

I am in the same boat. I may move after this.

Welp...Ice fishing was just what the Dr. Ordered. ...first couple chubs took it hard to the ice...after that, I was all better. Caught some nice bows, and a tiger trout...all smiles now.

I need to watch the second half...but the score says this went about the same. For everyone who went to the game I hope the pre-game atmosphere was fun. My only observations at this point...ND looks slow on D, yet it has fine athletes...shrug. DK looked like a redshirt Freshman today from what I saw...Veterans got off slow again today. My memory of team 127 is that the leaders made some pretty untimely and unforced errors particularly early in games...seemed to cost the team. New leaders must step up, and execute better.

Jarrett Grace is the single worst coverage LB I have seen in a very long time. It was cringeworthy. That is all.

Considering he shouldn't be playing football anymore due to the gruesome leg injury, hardly a fair criticism.

Can someone help me with Procise? I was off and on throughout the game but did see his dropped swing pass. Is that the last action he saw?

Yes, that was the extent of his participation. Ankle not ready, so that ended his day.
