Thank god Benny caught that cuz Mayer had no one with in 80 feet of him

That was crazy. BK yelled at Ian before the play. Gotta think BK knew they would be in single coverage and Ben has dominated that match up all game. Wish for an easier TD but sometimes coaches tell them. You are throwing the ball here.
Last drive against Clemson in 4th quarter same thing happened on a different play and more time. The play Ben almost stretched and scored.
Tremble was wide open in end zone but I get the feeling that either Rees or BK knew Skrowronek would be there for 1st and goal inside 5.
Idk maybe I'm giving excuses for Book or our coaches too much credit
Either way. I'm happy Ben is having a breakout game. Need it!

Books pocket presence is just light years better than it was a few weeks ago. No idea what the change is but he’s dancing past defenders with ease and keeping his eyes downfield.

Tons of mistakes including 2 turnovers and we lead 31-16 at the half. I'll take that any day of the week.

Confidence. Same thing that happened post-VT last year.

Yup. Wonder what clicked.

Who had Big Ben with THREE 1ST HALF* TDs on their bingo card?

Haha, the more you repeat it doesn’t make it true.

He’s dramatically improved in all phases of the game. He’s making throws under pressure from the pocket. He’s sliding in the pocket to evade pressure not just running from it. He’s taking calculated chances. He’s pushing the ball downfield and over the middle of the field.

Super happy for his progress. He’s his best Ian right now, when he should be. We should all give him credit for his improvements, not bury our head in the sand and say he was this good all along.

The more I hear about the Phil departure the more and more he sounds like a baby

 

[irishtrooper]

Notre Dame is just better than 90% of the teams they play and we've seen how that has worked out over the years

Umm, but we’re winning and pulling away bro

It really is. He’s got that pro type shoulder dip, slide, throw, move working. It’s beautiful to see.

The announcers sure were hot and heavy to make it a thing.

Lol Kurt!

 

[Irish YJ]

Kurt said hello again lol

 

[irishff1014]

Kurt is a really solid player

 

[Luckylucci]

Kurt is another guy who is playing his best football right now. I love watching these vets really start to put it altogether.

either a super bad pass or deflected. i'm leaning towards super bad


and that bad pass may have just taken out his best WR.

 

[NDRock]

No pass rush at all

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

They start throwing flags for all of BCs holds and this half will take 3 hours

I'm not saying Book hasn't found his confidence again and is playing better, but this WR group has certainly gotten light years better from where they were at the beginning of the season. It's understandable, all our experienced pass catchers graduated and were drafted. It took time for them to develop and build a rapport with Ian. The fact remains that Kyren and the TEs had no problem picking up passes from Ian to start the season. Ian wasn't the big problem, it just took time for the WR group to hit their stride.

Are they going to call a hold on BC line?

What is ND's gameplan? BC is converting more 3rd downs than they are not.

Weird. Normally grabbing like that is a bad injury.
