Oct 3 | Clemson

[Wild Bill]

It wasn't a bad call at all. We were going to have to eventual go for 2 and it was a good play call and should've been caught. If it is we're all going crazy because we just solidified our playoff run, obviously it looks bad in hindsight

No. We never had to go for two. We did once for no reason and then we were forced the second time bc Kelly passed on the PAT.

 

[GoldenChild]

I think he should have also caught the deep pass in the first half. Hunter Jr needs to take all his reps going forward.

Totally agree with this. I had forgot about that play, but in my eyes it looked like he should've came down with it. Dude is 6'5, he should be so much better and if he's not going to take that next level he's a waste. At this point we're only throwing to him on touchdown opportunities anyway.

This is an insanely hyped up team for sure, when isn't it. BK does a great job at letting everyone know how good his team is, and this is what we get, again

 

[ThePiombino]

Let's pray we best SC and Clemson wins the ACC. Literally the ONLY shot at a playoff spot.

I disagree. The whole premise relies on us not giving up any more points the rest of the game. Any Clemson points changes things. High risk. Little reward. Basically, it was Kelly saying I think we will need a two point conversion eventually so lets go for it now. Instead of "we absolutely now need a two point conversion and have to go for it now." I always go with "we need" instead of "i think."

The killer is if Corey Robinson wasn't afraid of a little contact on the first two point conversion we win the game. Ugh. Remarkable that we lost the turnover battle by 2, were on the road against a top10 team, and that turned out to be the difference

 

[Rhode Irish]

Guys, we were never going to beat USC with this defense. We aren't going to the playoffs

After the first 6 minutes, the defense gave up only two short field scores created by our turnovers the rest of the way.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I can't believe that just happened. The only reason I'm thinking this is because we got owned.



Kizer isn't as good as those around here want you to believe.



BVG has never been the DC that some of those want you to believe.



Our WR's have faults, that everyone wants to poo poo on. It comes through on a 1st down catch or two.



Our OL is overrated, shocking that we are not as good as our coach has told us we are.

Man, I am spent. These guys gave it their all, and damn near pulled it out.

Some of you clowns need to take a nap. BK is the reason we almost won the game. He built a team that is good and doesn't quit. The first 2 pt conversion was beautiful, CR dropped the easy pass. The lost timeout was also on CR. I'm not mad at the second 2 pt try, but our oline couldn't get a push all game. Great game, but need to make sure we don't crater like we did after FSU.

Go Irish.

 

[Butchie]

I hate to be so blunt, but this is totally incorrect.

Rhode Irish you are wrong. CRob does his job (since he was wide open) we win with a PAT at the end. I've already posted that CRob ain't right. Don't blame Kelly. These players are not doing their job. 4 TO's. C'mon man! Head-In-Fanny syndrome run-a-muck tonight.

This is correct. I had the situation messed up in my head, not afraid to admit I was wrong. Corey also was responsible for the wasted timeout if I'm not mistaken. Regardless, I'm extremely proud of the team tonight. I just hope this isn't like FSU last year and the wheels fall off. Smh it kills me thinking what we would be if not for injuries, but that's the game.

Did you people really think ND was a playoff team this year? I'm pretty sure most people on this board believed we were 9-3 or 10-2 at the beginning of the year with Malik and Folston!

We're a playoff team until we lose

Yeah, fine. If nobody makes any mistakes, we win the game by 5 touchdowns. What is your point? We didn't need to go for two, because if we bypassed two PATs and lost by two points. And no matter what the score is, you don't go for two that early in the game unless you are getting hopelessly blown out, for the exact reason of what played out tonight.

No, not literally. Yes we have to best SC but Clemson could lose a few and we could still get in. We could be in at 11-1 if the Big 12 champion also has a loss and either the Pac 12 or ACC champion has two losses.

Although you're right, Kizer missed a wide open TD on this play. WIDE OPEN NO ONE AROUND WALK IN ALONE type TD on the opposite side of the field. GDAMMIT!

The defense is the only reason we had a shot at tying the game.

They played well and were not the reason why we lost.

What's my point? Really! My point is catch the GD Balll!!!!!!!! You're on scholarship. F*(\{

I predicted undefeated on our way to the NC vs LSU....let us homer fam.

 

[Irish_Passion]

I don't mind the 2 pt call. In fact, if he walks in like last week, it would have been genius. Lack of execution and Clemson identified run really quick, which is shocking considering every play the 4th qtr was a pass.

The only thing that I could even question is the 2pt after the Procise TD. It was a well drawn play, CRob just couldn't come down with it.

Overall, not too upset with the loss, and super proud of how the team fought back from what should have been a disaster. 4 TO's, tough weather, it's a bummer but that's football.

I love being a ND fan and the heart they showed tonight is exactly why! BK has faults, we all do, but I still trust him more than any coach out there! It's not over yet and CFB season has a lot left to be played out. USC is gonna hurt us offensively, but if we can start fast, we can win in a shootout.

Sleep it off fellas, kiss your kids goodnight and remember, this sun will be up in the morning!

If those plays were high percentage everyone would go for two every time.

True but Clemson did get awfully conservative and predictable after their first 3 drives

 

[Johannes]

I love this team. They may have lost the game but they were not beaten. Fuck Clemson and everyone Clemson.

That's asking an awful lot

I think our best odds are that Clemson wins out undefeated (unlikely, because they actually look like garbage... imagine playing Alabama and turning it over 4 times... we'd lose by 50), we beat SC and they win the PAC-12 with 2 losses.

SEC is in, B1G is going to get one in... I just don't see how they wouldn't with how it's set up.

So then we just root for Big 12 to have 2 losses and we're in. If our only blemish is to an undefeated Clemson, maybe we even get in over a 1-loss Big 12 team but I sorta doubt it after last year because #politics.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

There is no way this ND team doesn't lose another game.

You don't have to worry about that Lax . this team won't win our. We will probably lose to USC when the rape our secondary. And BK struggles against Pitt.

We'll be heavily favored except for USC and Stanford, and will probably be favored over Stanford. Still hoping for a 10-2.
