Not having an interior push upfield with Cross hurt and Mills out really hurt. A lot easier to generate pressure with the LB blitzes when the OL are on their heels. I know you’re a former lineman, dealing with a wrecking ball must’ve made your life difficult.
Blue and Gold game*
eh Greathouse got a few balls
We threw for more yards then ohio state
Moore should've been smiths shadow all night. Not going to say it would've made a difference but Gray had confidence issues ever since USC and Smith was a shark smelling blood
Had the longest run for ND…9 yard. As impressive as being the tallest midget I guess.
They play boundary & field so they don’t follow a specific WR. Maybe they could have brought Moore or someone over on that 3rd & long that ended up being the dagger but hindsight 20/20. Golden didn’t have a lot of options once OSU proved they had no problem letting Howard run for easy 1st downs.
Damn buddy glad you’re okay!
Whoa! Some things are more important than football and hope you’re ok. Still need to get a PI attorney as many injuries don’t show up immediately. Let the insurance companies do what they do and pay.
Just terrible call, as were many "predictable" 3rd down play calls....I told my brother that first drive is going to be a problem because they just might think that play calling is sustainable the rest of the game. Before you know it 21-7, too many empty possessions.
Oof! Here's to your health.
ND was not the better team.
And yet with a couple plays here and there we could have stolen this game! No pressure from Ohio State and Jeter doinks it. Announcers called it as obvious a FG doesn’t help there. In the end it may have if Jeter didn’t screw the pooch. The play calls on that first & goal we lousy again. Still should have gone for it. We had momentum and thanks to Jeter and an unusual conservative decision by Freeman we lost it.
Happened all season long, honestly. People say he is going to be a stud at some point; I don't see it. I hope he gets better, of course. But I don't see it. He is pretty decent in close-yardage situations when the field is shortened. But he is awful on any deep passes, gets burnt over and over again, gives up huge chunk plays, or gets a flag for interference. Last night was no exception, and I still cannot figure out why we didn't scheme differently in some manner, knowing he would get matched up against Jeremiah Smith. Maybe there just wasn't any other option.
F Nick Saban. As soon as he had to compete for players who could now openly spend money too he quit. Makes him a smart guy but he was done and he knew it. His old school approach with athletes who could come and go and get money legally elsewhere now was too much for him. Even Brian Kelly would have won plenty of NCs with two deep 5 stars.
I’ll go one further. The last time (‘12) the head coach was interviewing for another job during bowl week. We are better off. By a mile. Go Irish. Love Thee.
Yep I told my friends it'd be 100x cooler to win a natty against OSU but I'd much rather play Texas.
