ND is not a top 25 football team. Kelly needs to be canned. Book needs to sit, and I was very high on him pre-season. Overall, poor coaching and no standout players on offense, defense mediocre.

If Brian Kelly doesn’t fire Chip Long after this game and bench Ian Book, then he needs to be shown the door. The end. There needs to be accountability. You’re about to lose to a team you were a 3 score favorite against.

The only thing we can hold hope out for is that recruits stick with their commitment. This smells of the team giving up.

I think michigan broke their spirit.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

This has that whole Syracuse, Western Michigan, USF, Duke, etc feel to it

 

[vuirish]

Would it hurt to give the young speed guys (Lenzy for example) a shot at this point?

This offense is painful to watch.

The fact that you can list that many tells the whole story, repeated failures.

nah...dive right, dive left 'till we die

VT is likely to turn it over soon. When they do you got to let Phil win the game.

It’s not a spirit issue in terms of they were good early season and now there’s nothing to play for. Book just stinks and so does Long. The defense generally plays inspired every game. Lea has his guys ready to go. This is all scheme and personnel IMO.

Why? Book had Claypool open deep and under threw him. How would Lenzy make a difference?

We're gonna lose this game, aren't we?

How do I like this a million times?

Besides the VTech faithful, the person most happy with the present score is Flutie.

I think Kelly broke their spirit by refusing to put them in the best position to win, and trotting out the same old tired players who are trash.

You have a lot of faith in a guy that can't beat out Book in practice

You been talking to Michael Young?

This team has no balls, no heart, no nothing. They are a bunch of individuals devoid of leadershipthat are only playing this year for draft position. Book, Okwara, Pride, all of them. I would take the C off of all their jerseys.

Excited to go to Duke next week to see this

Easiest game plan ever: throw the ball to whoever is lined up across from #5.

Either Pride has the worst luck or he’s terrible.

The only way Book is getting near the NFL is with a ticket he buys. Guy sucks.

 

[IrishLax]

Team about to quit right here.

2014 all over again, great team culture.

 

[dang227]

Their QB is more accurate than Book

We kept hearing the same thing with Joe Schmidt, and that was proven to be one of the greatest lies ever told
