Nov 4 | Wake Forest

[phgreek]

Defense looked a little too familiar...not in a good way.
Receivers lack focus...Wimbush still holding it too long on shot plays.

ND is just better than Wake...but they did themselves no favors today beyond winning of course, IMHO.

That'll chap some assholes.

Going to be a lot of diaper changing tonight

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

I'm really disappointed with our defense today! Horrible. Offense great. Game was closer than it needed to be.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Great win. But giving up this many points???

 

[snoopdog]

Holy cow, Vegas foresaw this game

 

[Shamrock Theories]

We aren't going to win by 18. They're about to score. We aren't even going to cover the spread.

Who gives a shit?

Seen the PSU and OSU scores?

Relax man

 

[dwshade]

still okay with no style points?

Yep. Georgia won by only 14 despite being a 24 point favorite. Nothing changes for us in the rankings. We did better than they did against the spread.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Big issue with the defense if it stays this way. Hope it was just one horrible defensive game. But, this wasn’t good.

 

[Riddickulous]

Our letdown game was an 11 point win over a 5-3 Power 5 team. I'll take it.

Hopefully the defense takes it personal and comes out with a big game next week.

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

This game confirms we belong in the playoff, but may also confirm we aren't title contenders. We gotta put our foot on people's throats. Can't give up 37. Can't do it.

Agree. On to Miami.

 

[ickythump1225]

That was not the look of a top 4 team in the nation. That was a horrible showing from our defense. I'm not saying we deserve to be bumped out but we don't look ready for Bama or even Oklahoma for that matter. 600 yards to 2* players isn't going to cut on the defensive side of the ball. At least we don't have to worry about the players getting big heads jesus christ.

NCSU driving.

Clemson lost to Pitt last year and then won the natty. It can still happen.

 

[Junkhead]

Giving up 620 yards and 37pts has to chap Elkos ass.

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

NCSU driving.

Channel?

I think you'll see a much better defense next week. They'll get worked in practice this week.

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

I just don't get why we can't put games away and break team's spirits like other dominant teams. We gave up over 600 yards and 37 points. Why? Why not just run our defense normally? What's this prevent bullshit that let them score 4 straight TD? That's some frustrating shit.

 

[wizards8507]

Channel?

ABC

 

[dwshade]

Big Ten's only hope now is that Wisconsin goes undefeated.

 

[yankeeND]

I hate some of the stats to this game, but I love that I never doubted the outcome! Go Irish baby!!!

This is the first game we won this season that we didn’t put a team away. Relax.

have you not watched any games this year? We’ve been doing that all season. This is the first game we really haven’t done that.

Is this the first ND game you've watched this year? Because you make no sense.

 

[Bluto]

I have no problem with the recent defense. Now going into it as soon as they did. That was a head scratcher.

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

Oh ok. Apparently I'm the only one who's not OK with giving up 600 yards and 37 points to some scrubs. Got it.

....

Amen. People lost their damn minds today in the thread.

Oh did we?

Yes. Yes you did.

 

[woolybug25]

Bama beat A&M by 8 points earlier in the year. Y’all need to relax.

 

[NDBoiler]

Apparently you haven’t looked at any stats this season either. Wake Forest is a top 30 team this season.

 

[STLDomer]

We won. Other teams lost. End of story. Beat Convicts.
