For some reason in the kelly era our screens are very unproductive.

Yeah, that was a bullshit call on Jones. Of course the ref missed the Duke player start the shit right before.

Why even put PJ in if you're not gonna let him pass? 3rd string can do this...

38-7 good win many people didn’t think we would win by that much. Should have been worse. But we made some mental errors that cost us.

I would bring Book back, relieve him of the captaincy, work on his running game and abandon long passes. Just work to his strength.

One of the most complete performances ND has had in awhile. Weird to say that despite special teams miscues, inefficient passing game, penalties, etc. I think it's beyond strange that what they succeeded with tonight was using the QB as a primary runner.... while Wimbush is somewhere in Florida. I thought the whole reason they went to Book was to go away from this and have an efficient passing game.

Big game next week against a surprisingly good Navy team. Hopefully the team is healthy enough to win that game with defense, because this is the best Navy team on both sides of the ball that ND has seen in a LONG time.

One thing Book hasn't struggled with this year is leadership. No way in hell you take the captaincy from him.

Hopefully Gilman steps up for this one.

I thought we were supposed to lose this one.

We won, but don't you know a win still means we actually lost, because Kelly will get a pass and Book will still be quarterback which will make Notre Dame fans miserable because winning blows, especially if it is only against 4-4 teams like Duke. And it's been 10 years. And Polian sucks as a special teams coach. And Finke is a walk on. And the OL is soft. Quinn is terrible. And we have no running game. Plus Tommy tried to outrun a cop and is still too slow. And why doesn't PJ get to throw the ball more? And ND hasn't won a title in 30 years. And Urban Meyer is the very kind of heathen Jesus loves to hang out with and forgive... and is the next Messiah. And Brian Kelly has been here 10 years and still no title. Plus, the players don't play hard for him. Last year was a fluke, just look at the schedule. Tonight, several ND fans will step off the ledge in disappointment that ND isn't LSU. May they rest in peace.

Yeah I just don't see the point of him having the duties that come with it. Simplify things for him.

Agree. And if PJ isn’t ready like it is looking to be then you bring Book back.

I’m hoping that isn’t the case

Brah, Duke DESTROYED UVA by 34, a team we only beat by 15. They beat VT by 35. They're going to embarrass us.

Dunno why people still do this kind of stuff, but they certainly did last week.

I think you either need more, or less alcohol. Current level of intoxication isn't working for you.

Maybe one of the worst ideas I've heard this year.

Yeah, it was the downfield passes early that started that kept the defense honest and opened up the running lanes for Book. Throwing to setup the run, rather than trying to establish the run first and smashing your head against a loaded defense. Amazing.
