Tough loss. Didn't play well. We shouldn't drop too much.

 

[GoldenDomer]

Brian Fucking Kelly...

 

[loomis41973]

Who's fault was this one Kelly?

NOT EVEN close....

 

[ThePiombino]

Don't hate the 2 pt playcall. Element of surprise is a factor here. Definitely thought there was too much time to go for two earlier in the game tho.

 

[irishff1014]

The early bad play calling hurt us in the first half.

 

[Irishnuke]

Turnovers + dropped passes + missed tackles = shit. You're never going to win with all of those.

 

[brick4956]

those refs need to be hung terrible fucking officiating

 

[ACamp1900]

Honestly I'm not to upset. 2 pt loss on the road. Build on it and win 10 games this year!

Same, this team was never winning a title maybe they can build a foundation... But sucks to blow yet ANOTHER chance to earn some respect...

 

[dang227]

BK just added to the sh!tshow this game was. Should have won by two touchdowns. It was amazing they could have tied it with all the mistakes they made.

 

[Jackalope1977]

F U Dabo.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Terrible onside attempt Yoon.

Nah, it just didn't get the right bounce. I don't think that's something a kicker can really control.

As for the game, heartbreaking, but probably close than it should have been given all the mistakes we made. Clemson's game plan in the 4th quarter sucked...they went into a shell and gave us a chance to make it a game. Would have liked to see Kizer throw the ball on the 2 point conversion, but would also have like Robinson to catch the ball on the first one...

Shit, o well...we can still have a great season.

 

[ThePiombino]

Remember when the rain was supposed to favor US? lol

 

[Blaise]

Fuck Clemson

 

[Guest]

In hindsight, Kelly should not have gone for the first 2 pt conversion earlier in the game. If they kick the extra point there, then they only have to kick the extra point to tie on the final drive.

 

[GoldenChild]

We turned the ball over 4 times with the last being the worst timed fumble I've ever seen and lost by two with a freshmen QB on the road in pre hurricane conditions

 

[Circa]

I Love this Team. I can't believe the to's tonight

after talking all that garbage now he commends us lol!

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Fucking proud of Deshone tonight.
That guy never quit and one only made one truly bad play.
All that with 7ish drops and 3 fumbles.

Mistake free football, and that would have been a comfortable win.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

That cut out to the sports center guys was great

 

[ScooterIrish]

25% of the game is left at the time and we go for 2 instead of 1.... Brian Kelly everybody.

 

[dang227]

I just don't understand why you wouldn't give Kizer a play with a run /pass option and spread the defense out. They were gassed and we packed them in tight. Offensive line run blocked like a high school team tonight.

I hear ya. Just doesn't make much sense given how the game played out. We flat out couldn't run and they flat out couldn't cover. Just throw it

True, and I'm with you, but no one outside of our base gives a fuck... ND shit the bed again in a big game is all the nation will see...

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Let's win the rest of them. Go Irish!

Four turnovers = Loss on the road.. Simple as that

 

[phgreek]

Great fight all the way to the end...but the amount of "you cant's" that this team committed today is just unsettling. Clemson is ok...but a veteran laden ND team did more harm to themselves than Clemson ever did...just a damned shame.

Probably not the play I would have called on the 2pt try, but let's be real: people are mad about it because it got stopped, which is a possibility with whatever you called there. If he had walked in, it would have been a brilliant call. Tonight wasn't about that - it was about not matching the intensity out of the starting blocks at the beginning of both halves. Take those minutes out and it was 22-0.

If you have to be mad at Kelly for something, the first 2 pt try was the textbook example of why you don't start doing that so early in the game - it's hard to guess the math right with how the game will play out. If they'd just kicked the PAT, we'd still be playing right now.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

If anyone is anything but proud of the way this team played and battled, just take up and leave. Tough ass game on the road and never gave up after a ton of mistakes. To be in that game until the last second showed incredible heart and grit. But I'm sure the whiny pussies will find the negatives. I honestly don't know why some guys are even fans of this program.
