Kizer is pretty good at throwing to a stationary target

Definitely a different officiating game than the blind group last week.

 

[Cackalacky]

Great first half men. Well done.

 

[irishff1014]

I'll take 38 in the first half.

 

[IrishLax]

Is there anything to take away from this besides that Army's secondary is terrible?

Believe it or not, they're actually better (especially on defense) than Navy. So this destruction is encouraging... considering we lost to a similar team on a neutral field last week. This isn't a typical Army team. Their offense isn't quite as good as Navy's but they don't suck.

Can we stop microanalyzing every throw now?

Kizer is pretty good at throwing to a stationary target

Guess not

 

[anarin]

Sanford is the QB coach yes?

I think the under and over throws really fall on him. It mostly always falls to mechanics. Are they focusing enough on this?

 

[BGIF]

We haven't had enough runs to microanalyze.

We can blame Longo for the False Starts, insufficient audio training.

Can't decide if that's encouraging or depressing.

At full strength it may be true that they are better than Navy, but missing all those corners and other players you can see how much slower they are.

ND's OLine looked lethargic on runs last week from my end zone seat. We were bigger but weren't dominant. The OLine looks more mobile this week.

They look just as mobile before the snap to me....

Hope we give Williams a ton of carries this half. Also hope to see a lot of Corey Holmes and Claypool.

Sorry Boiler, the powers that be won't allow me to rep you.

 

[drayer54]

Whew. I was nervous we'd have to schedule maritime academies to get a win.

 

[IrishinSyria]

oof. I almost fealt bad for Army right now.

And then I remembered that they go to West Point. Which I guess is both a reason to feel bad for them and to partake in some serious schadenfreude.

 

[irisheyes]

we no longer calling horse collar?

 

[dang227]

When is the staff going to figure out the perimeter running game is not a strength of this team?

 

[dang227]

Did anyone see my alma mater John Carroll beat Mt. Union today?

 

[irisheyes]

dk is consistently throwing behind receivers.

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

what the hell was that?

 

[gkIrish]

That's what happens when you pass on 1st and goal and you are gashing the other team.

 

[IrishLax]

At full strength it may be true that they are better than Navy, but missing all those corners and other players you can see how much slower they are.

I missed this... they have a ton of injuries? That's way less encouraging.

 

[twig21]

Ready for Wimbush next season. Horrible decisions and ridiculous play calling in the red zone. Great teams don't try to be cute down near the goal line.

 

[NDRock]

That's what happens when you pass on 1st and goal and you are gashing the other team.

Love going empty backfield from inside the 5

 

[IrishinSyria]

That's what happens when you pass on 1st and goal and you are gashing the other team.

There is nothing more frustrating about the Kelly era than this.

 

[IrishLax]

Ooooooo that's a close one.
