Nov 11 | Miami (FL)

[Irish Man3]

Yikes. Not a good 1st quarter.

 

[TDHeysus]

they cannot stop them at all.

 

[NDdomer2]

Well they are straight challenging us to stop the extra blocker with direct snap runs. Wofford and Wake showed the way.

 

[NDMIA]

Stop and a score

 

[IrishLax]

Refs obviously aren't going to call holding tonight there was obvious holding on their TD run too.

 

[phgreek]

Refs will be a factor...shouldnt have let them..shrug

 

[wallym]

We are fooked.

 

[NorthDakota]

Kelly can never get his team prepared for the big road games.

Name a few....

Here are a few where they came to play

1. FSU(ready)
2. Clemson (ready)
3. Oklahoma (ready)
4. USC to go to Natty (ready)

 

[Hammer Of The Gods]

We have this tendency to try out smart good teams. Why? Just do what we do. It’s rediculious

 

[ickythump1225]

This will always be my biggest gripe with Kelly. His teams can be relied on to come out flat in big road games. Outside of an overrated Oklahoma team in 2012 I can't remember a big road game where we came ready to play.

[ACamp1900]

How big is this missed TD on the first drive now??

 

[SonofOahu]

This is not our night. Wimbush is playing like UGA Wimbush. He's scared, and the game is moving too fast for him.

D looks like they're running in place.

 

[NDdomer2]

I'm not so sure it isn't that Long fell in love with tossing the rock last week.

 

[ickythump1225]

Here are a few where they came to play

1. FSU(ready)
2. Clemson (ready)
3. Oklahoma (ready)
4. USC to go to Natty (ready)

Clemson are f**king kidding me? We were down 14-0 before the fans found their seats. We were not ready to play and it cost us.

 

[Irish Man3]

Shark, you are correct. Big game and our team folds.

National championship
Osu
Fsu
On and on

Have to disagree a bit. They didn't fold against FSU, far from it actually.

What's the on and on?

What about Oklahoma on the road?

What about USC on the road?

We've lost some big games, but we've won some as well. Including multiple games this year at home.

 

[Cali_domer]

I'm not so sure it isn't that Long fell in love with tossing the rock last week.

Kelly

 

[IrishLax]

Guys, the offense obviously has problems but it is clearly the defense that's the MUCH bigger issue. Miami never gets above 30 and they're approaching 3 TDs on their first four possessions.

 

[ACamp1900]

What's going on with the defense, missed tackles galore?..

 

[nd_fan]

I wonder if Wimbush's left hand as anything to do with this confidence in throwing.

 

[EifertPower]

Unless ND can force a turnover this drive the game is over.

Clemson in 2015
Florida State in 2014

Just once I'd like to beat a top 10 team.

Typical ND letdown. Going into this weekend the talk across the country was that maybe only 2 power 5 schools getting in to the final 4. Now Final four looks set....

Alabama
Wisconsin- Ohio State winner
Miami-Clemson winner
Oklahoma-TCU winner

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Don’t blame refs. We can’t tackle or play offense.

 

[NDALA]

NC 2014=Wake Forest 2017 defense figured out

 

[Riddickulous]

We have no answer for the QB draw

 

[Hammer Of The Gods]

How about Drue spy the QB. K thanks

 

[IrishLax]

They are running the same plays over and over and over

 

[NDdomer2]

Lol when are we gna adjust

 

[Irish Man3]

ND is not playing well but Richt is calling a great game

 

[drayer54]

Hint. They are going to run the draw.

 

[nd_fan]

Defense cant even tackle anymore. WTF is wrong with his defense. How are our fundamentals all jacked up?
