Right. Everyone keeps harping on the busy push game as the comparison but I think that ISC team was one of the best in CFB history talent wise and ND just wasn’t there talent wise but played out of their skulls to stay in. This one we were evenly matched with a traditional powerhouse elite recruiting blue blood breaking in a new qb. They had their first 22 out there and we won 99% of the game.
a little more money, play on a day with bigger games spread apart and more people off. That's about it.
We need Texas or Oklahoma to lose 2 but win the B12 (very possible)
Completion percentage on screen passes?
I promise you that 99% of screen passes are not complete. Many get thrown away because the RB is covered up. I'd guess something like 60% of called screens get executed for positive yardage.
Images of Buchner throwing balls into the dirt (both last year and this season) also suddenly flash into my head.
Y’all ever think about how crazy the impact of one play/a few seconds can be in the grand scheme? Like if we get the stop to end the game…
hartman had a blitzing LB in his face and had to rush it, if he's given a moment longer im sure he would have completed it.
I had that thought, he had the first and beyond if he manages to throw it a little higher. It was a hell of a play by the DE to reach and get the tip.
They are not going to "Curb Stomp" USC or Clemson at home.
Not sure if this was already mentioned, but if Hartman finishes the year strong there is a possibility that he doesn't play in the bowl game. Way too early to speculate, but unless your team is in the semifinal, I just don't think bowl games carry a lot of weight like they used to. If Notre Dame played Michigan and 8 players for both teams combined sat out, it just makes it that much less of a victory to brag about.
ND has no pass rush and caleb williams will have a chance to destroy NDs defense.
It's still Michigan. I'd enjoy watching us kick the crap out of their JV tennis team, and then brag about it all year. And FWIW, they'd probably have more opt-outs than we do. We don't have that many high picks or likely early departures.
You think this team with these inexperienced coaches will run the table? MF does shit Kelly did that drove people crazy like go for on 4th down instead of taking the points and he throws in disorganized chaos when the game is actually on the line. 10 players on the field for two plays after a time out. Crazy shit.
Take the points? When our kicker is 3 of 7 on the year? Shrader has a leg but has shown to be pretty inaccurate
99% was an exaggeration, but even Zach Wilson completes screen passes at a 70% + rate.
You would have shit yourself if you were in Hartmans shoes at that moment lol
Won’t know until the game is played sport.
Possible but I would have lofted it.
