Good win. Can't be mad about a close win over a top 25 team. But one can be furious about allowing a TD with 11 seconds left.

It's just crazy. I mean it has to be coaching right? It's just mind blowing

It starts there. If they let those things slide during practice, etc then game day will be the same. That last ASU td drive should be unacceptable. Kelly needs to get those things, as well as the delay of games, false starts, blown coverages, etc., fixed. I don't think you beat a team like Stanford with how you played tonight. The Irish should get to that game without another loss but now is the time to fix them.

I don't think we got out coached at all. I think it's the first game all year it hasn't happened.

You don't take a 10 point lead with a minute 40 to go and need a onside kick recovery. Awful clock mgmt and horrible decisions to rush 3 when we got 'em.

did someone else throw those td's?

you cant credit him only with bad.

he helped us win and helped almost blow it too

He had a handful of good throws and that end of the first half drive. Other than that his play frustrated. That's how you get sub 50% passing and a pick 6. How much good can you credit him with?

Our team played their asses off! Our best game yet,,,,,,excluding Rees of course.

Out coached once again!

We need to get hendrix going during bye week.

Tommy had some good throws, and quite a few bad ones. The D came alive at least. Hendrix though? Great kid, but I don't see him being able to make enough throws to make a difference. Every time he is in, guaranteed run.

There was a lot of things that I didn't like. Too many empty sets, too many home run shots. Defense at the end sleepwalking was bad. But ASU made no adjustments to their blitz package that we dominated all night.

Ishaq played well, he regularly collapsed the pocket. Our D-line was great today.

D pressure was the difference all night, finally!! Shembo was there all night, Ishaq had quite a bit of pressure, and Tuitt could've had 5 sacks. Even my boy Nix beat a bunch of double teams and collapsed the pocket. That said, any word on Grace's injury??? I lost feed due to rain and DirectTV, never heard a thing.

We can analyze stats all we want, but the bottom line is we won this game. Let's be happy with the win!

I am ready to see if that is the case. We have hours and hours of tape showing tommy has no arm. Why do we get to say hendrix can't throw? Tommy is around 40% with above average skill players and a Veryy good line.

Hendrix deserves a shot! If he throw less than 40% or doesn't take care of the ball then we say okay hendrix is bad....right now all we know is tommy is very very bad.

Schmidt played good in the nickel for the most part in his absence. Also Fox and Calabrese were not horrible in coverage in the second half. Fox made some plays with a fumble recovery and an interception. Hopefully Schmidt steps up to add some depth.
