Yoon rules. What are we going to do next year?!

 

[irishff1014]

Need TDs

You are right but when you have a dumb play call like that cute crap it threw the whole drive off

 

[NorthDakota]

Book is rattled.

Yeah, lets get him a few short easy throws or something to get him right.

 

[irishff1014]

Has Yoon never healed?

 

[dang227]

Is Jafar hurt?

That FG was the right call, but the fact that it practically grazed the crossbar is why you try something underneath on 3rd down - maybe the guy breaks free and picks it up, maybe you get enough that you think you can go for it to get the first, but maybe you just get 3 or 4 yards which could actually be really helpful when you’re at the outer limit of your kicker’s range. Book has hit very little down the field and you know the pressure is coming from USC on 3rd and long there. Considering field position, really hate the last two play calls in that situation.

 

[wizards8507]

Fuck that spot.

 

[Blaise]

Good third quarter but defense has to make some plays here

 

[ScooterIrish]

Fuck that spot.

I think it wat the right spot. Looked like he pushed ahead

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Yeah where is jafar tonight

 

[Riddickulous]

Let's close this one out and enjoy our last win before getting straight up murdered in the CFP

 

[connor_in]

Kirk being a total prick tonight

I agree with all of this. But we shot ourselves in the foot with that first down play.

 

[ACamp1900]

He clearly got it... man, bury these fuckers...

 

[ickythump1225]

The playcalling has been spotty tonight and this is Book's worst game so far.

 

[nd_fan]

Pass rush?

To be fair, Defense has been fair 2nd half. It’s offense that is keeping us close in the game.

Kirk being a total prick tonight

We haven't been good today and he's riding high after watching Urbie and his alma mater pick up a big W.

We need to just put this one to bed and see where the cards fall.

 

[IrishLax]

Book is rattled.

He’s clearly pressing. Missing a lot of throws.

Irish D let’s go.

 

[Blaise]

15 minutes to the playoffs.. LET IT ALL OUT

 

[ND88]

Book is rattled.

Yeah, I think he's getting too frustrated with himself. He needs to just settle down and get back to doing what he does best.

Let's go, D!

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Positive spin for tonight's performance:
If we pull it out we probably dodge bama no matter what happens in the sec champ. Bama wins, obviously they stay at 1 and we are locked in at 3 (maybe 2 if Clemson loses).
Bama loses, they likely stay ahead, georgia can jump us and they rematch while we draw Clemson.

 

[Riddickulous]

This is gonna come right down to the wire

 

[nd_fan]

Wowwwww

 

[irishff1014]

We are getting lucky with their penalties.

 

[Blaise]

USC is going to USC
