The Navy game is at 11:30AM?! WTF.

 

[Meatloaf]

Who's going? I'll be in the Toyota club. Getting rained on is for the poors.

 

[Irish Insanity]

I literally just realized this game is at noon tomorrow.

I figured it would be at 8pm because it's at MetLife.

Wow...we stink.

I was shocked when I looked up the kickoff time earlier.

I was shocked when I looked up the kickoff time earlier.

At least if we lose, we won't have to spend a full Saturday building up to disappointment for a night game. Gotta find the silver linings where we can!

The Navy game is at 11:30AM?! WTF.

No idea. The Jaguars play @Kansas City the next day, so it's not an issue there. The NAS Jax Air Show is going on that day (and Sun), so not sure if that had anything to do with it...

 

[Rack Em]

will be making the trip and will be my 8 year old's 1st ND game....sadly enough he told me we need to bench tranquil and coleman because they can't tackle...that's an 8 year olds perspective

How does you kid feel about exotic blitz packages? Because he might be more astute than BVG...

 

[NDTH91]

I don't know why, but I am super pumped for this game. Maybe it is because all of the stress of high expectations can finally be let go an I'm just excited to watch my favorite team play some ball.

I do know one thing; we only get 12-14 of these Saturdays per year, and I'm going to enjoy every last one no matter what. Let's get ourselves a W and turn this ship around today! Go Irish!!

 

[Sureal]

Here at the game....drinking IPAs

 

[PANDFAN]

Anyone near. L13? Tailgaiting

 

[Sureal]

L10

 

[TheChosen1]

Bold prediction: BK makes a QB change at halftime today.

 

[Irishnuke]

Not so bold prediction: we attempt, but fail to execute a trick play.

 

[gkIrish]

I'm actually very happy we play at noon. Now we can watch Wisky/scUM at 3:30 and Louisville/Clemson at 8

 

[GrangerIrish24]

This is the first game in a while that hasn't caused me anxiety.

 

[Jackalope1977]

Wooooo! Great start!

 

[T Town Tommy]

That's a great start Irish.

 

[BGIF]

THERE GO THE IRISH!

 

[IrishinSyria]

Great ball, great route, hnnnnnnnnnnnng.

That being said, I hate it when coaches criticize the team for not being emotional enough. Tends to lead to overcompensation.

 

[Irish Man3]

Great start. Awesome protection, awesome throw, and awesome finish by EQ

 

[Booslum31]

A lot of empty seats...not too surprised.

 

[Henges24]

Seems small but I like to see DK go back and pick up that OL (didn't notice who it was). Shows that the locker room might be in better shape than we think. Let's hope we've taken a turn for the best in order to get the best out of this season.

 

[irishff1014]

Offense bang bang out of the gate. The defense leaving guys way open.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Syracuse's offense is more or less what I thought our offense was going to look like when Kelly came in. I've never understood why we haven't seemed to hit the tempo he ran in Cinci.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Gotta do better with disguising the defense. Way too easy for the Cuse QB to identify the blitz.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Wow there is absolutely no reason to think we can win this game.

 

[Booslum31]

Two-Stars beating four stars...

 

[Irish Man3]

A special teams play? Long live Booker

 

[IrishinSyria]

Wow there is absolutely no reason to think we can win this game.

Maybe offense + blocked xps

 

[LoveThee]

I remember in 2012 when I didn't think the other team was guaranteed to score any time they make it to our side of the field

 

[NDgradstudent]

Lol. Remember that BK fired Uncle Rico 9 months too late. The defensive problems have always been on BK.
