Good job D

 

[IrishLax]

Cole Luke making some good plays tonight.

 

[Brooklyn]

Is that a tackle I see? lol. Luke should play for BJ in the second half.

 

[MTLIrish]

Go after this punt!

 

[swole1]

Another nice stop, needed that one

 

[irishff1014]

Hardy is getting some playing time tonight.

 

[South Jersey Domer]

That punt had zero hang time lol

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Let's do something here so we can get at least a FG

 

[koonja]

Let's take some shots!

Down the field!

Halftime

ND leads 14-10

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Going in with the lead. I can live with that

 

[Brooklyn]

Nice first half. I think the D next half will be much better.

 

[koonja]

Why not toss a lob to Niklas? DD? TJ? Worst case scenario, incompletions, but a chance for PI or catch.

 

[IrishLax]

Solid half. I'll take it all things considered.

 

[Cackalacky]

I say isay I say boy you trying my last nerve. Fight on!

 

[Luckylucci]

It really sucks that we can take chances in situations like that because of our QB. Whether it would be the right decision or not, it'd be nice to have the ability to do so.

 

[Irishokie]

Is Orgeron a fruit of John Madden's loins?! I couldn't understand a word he said!!!

 

[SoIll]

has redfield played other then special teams? pretty sure i saw him out there

 

[Brooklyn]

Sucks we lost to Michigan. Their team is really very mediocre.

 

[ickythump1225]

Solid first half. Even though it didn't go our way I love the aggression in going for the TD down on the goal line. Good play calling, TR has looked pretty good. The D needs to tighten up a bit. All things considered I'll take it.

Oh and the SC coach sounds like this guy:

 

[Irishman77]

It seems Chris brown has spontaneously combusted....

We'll win this one easily as USC starts to fade during the 2nd half. Thanks again, Reggie.

First half analysis

- Ed O sounds like he has a bag full of dicks in his mouth.

- Stadium music has been GREAT!

- TJ Jones, Cam, Niklas, and Tommy are playing amazing.

- DL is invisible.

- LBs playing terrible.

- Farley isn't even close to making a play.

- Jackson will not play in the NFL if he cannot tackle freshman RBs.

- Cole Luke BALLLING!

- That punt coverage was the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Everyone but Brindza was on one side of field. CANNOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

- TJ Jones is good looking.

- Opening drive - IDC if we run the same play 3 straight times, but DONT WASTE TIME GETTING CUTE WITH THE FAKE WR HANDOFF! Go and get the six inches.

- Lucky to be up 4 and I'll take it!

Go Irish!

**** USC!

 

[Brooklyn]

Nice recaps kuehnja and BGIF.

 

[NDWorld247]

Good first half. The only thing I'm not happy with is our run defense. I didn't expect the USC OL to be able to create huge holes for their backs. Our tackling needs to improve, but the holes have been huge.

We've played much better in the 2nd half all season. I think we end up winning this by 11+ points.

 

[Irish Man3]

Anxious!! Love this game every year.

 

[koonja]

TJ Jones will not go in the 1st round, but wherever he goes he will be an absolute steal IMO.

 

[Norcal Irish]

Am i the only one who remembers the first two drives against Temple? Why not throw deep?

 

[IrishLax]

I expect USC to take some shots down the field coming out of half.
