The offense punted 3 times in 5 possessions. Twice from midfield/UNC territory. That is not going to get it done, period.

They need to play with a sense of urgency. You are not going to hold UNC under 30.

ND has caused self-inflicted wounds and not taken advantage of situations this half. We have had our chances.

Typical Brian Kelly team.

Got bailed out with a flag

I want a downfield toss to big ben

Book scrambling into pressure. Why not

Typical Brian Kelly team.

That is exactly what it feels like.

 

[irishff1014]

And then Book runs into a pushing DE smh

 

[NDBoiler]

Why does the clock not stop there?

Progress stopped before he got out.

Why do we play so poorly in big games after bye weeks?

 

[irishff1014]

What a stupid play call. Great effort KW

 

[irishtrooper]

Man, you’d think we are down by 20 points reading this board. We are in this game. I think we’re going to win. Be a bit tougher without Kyle, but we’re still better.

 

[Irishnuke]

LOL. We really just ran the ball.

 

[ThePiombino]

Terrible play call, great run. Playing for a FG now.

At least we got a stupid penalty back

 

[Riddickulous]

A run. What the hell.

Because our defense isn’t playing like a team that can win.

 

[Irishnuke]

Nice PI

 

[irishff1014]

Terrible throw

The offense has been more disappointing IMO

 

[Irishnuke]

Sure would have been nice to have some more timeouts on this drive.

 

[ThePiombino]

Terrible throw

Yep. But Ben didn't do a great job of adjusting to the ball either.

[irishff1014]

Yes 17-17 had to have it.

 

[ThePiombino]

Why does it feel like we're down 21?

I’m amazed we’re tied. Took Book acrobatics to offset boneheaded plays

 

[NDRock]

Actually thought the throw was pretty good. Agree that he didn’t really do a great job there.

 

[Irish YJ]

Welp, even up.
I'll take it.

D sucked early. Hopefully settled down, and the adjustments will pay off.
Losing #14 sucks.

O keeping us in this one for the most part. Those two TE drops really hurt.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Observations
1) nothing much from the game since I just finished work
2) it's tied 17-17 on the road vs a not bad UNC team
3) after reading this thread I'm now convinced that score is wrong and we are actually losing by 21

 

[Luckylucci]

Disappointing half. Both sides of the ball had opportunities to get some momentum and both failed, and at times it was pretty remedial football that caused it.

Frustrating stuff. On the road, they start with the ball, and we lost our best player in the secondary, this doesn’t feel good. I think we’re going to need some big plays in D. Sacks, FF’s, or an INT to win this game. Time for guys like Hayes, JOK, etc to step up.
