Key to the loss

[Carlyle Javar Holiday]

We lost the battle at the line of scrimmage and our LB's did not have gap responsibility, especially Te'o. We were dominated, only had 47 rush yards and gave up 200+.

Not to mention Floyd getting outplayed by Woods.

Uh we played like garbage and gave up 3 turnovers for 21 points. Bad fundimentals. Bad coaching?

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

Personal fouls, turnovers, and cant run the ball. THAT = a loss.

 

[ACamp1900]

nope.... we would be 7-0 and BCS bound if not Title game bound right now if not for one thing... turnovers...


sorry...

with ND it is always something... that is the something this year.... next year we will never turn the ball over and won't be able to move the damn ball with a new O line and without Floyd... Watch.

some programs just never put it together.... sadly, we are in that relm now

Woods had a better game than Floyd obviously, but Rees/Crist aren't Barkley either. Floyd wasn't the problem.

Damn....I hate when people get the facts straight...

After the taunting foul, did Carlo sit on the bench to whole game? I did not see him at all after that.

I will get banned repping this team, but they are not bad. They just make terrible mistakes, not because of their coaches, but because of their own personal reasons.

Sh!t happens, teams will lose, ND can not and will not win a Championship every single year as much as I hope for it.

Just facts.

LOS play was disappointing but the key to the loss is the fumble at the 1 and resulting TD.

I looked for him to return...dont think he did.

You know what with ND it's not always "something" it's a bunch of cumulative things. This game was bad coaching, lack of ball protection and bad execution. As James Hetfield once said "you know it's sad but true!". Anyhow, I'm glad Calabrese is riding the pine.

 

[GoIrish41]

Even getting schooled in the first half, ND was only down a TD at the break. As bad as the team played, they were in it until about the 9 minute mark when the lateral play crushed all hope. turnovers is what cost us in all three losses. The turning point was obviously the fumble on the 1 and the resulting 14 point swing.

Add can't stop the run and I agree.
