Oct 6 | Virginia Tech

Well, move from Kentuckiana and route for Louisville.

Fuck you, suck a dick

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I really, really wanted Ade to take that ejection, somehow.

I would feel *decent* if we had Julian.

No Daelin and Julian is scary.

When was the last time holding was called on an opposing OL?

That's the least of our problems.

Virginia Tech sucks as much as we thought they did, we're just chocking again on the road against a mediocre opponent.

Correct we played their game instead of ours. DB's playing soft coverage.

Throwing down the field twice in 3 plays. -2 rushing yards is not acceptable.

Getting pressure with a 4 man rush and can't cover for anything.

The only reason this isn't a route by VT is that they suck. Their relative mediocrity is keeping us in this game. If we played like this against Stanford we would have gotten our shit pushed in.

 

[NDRock]

Would like a couple designed qb runs.

Continuing a tradition started in early 2000s of making mediocre QBs look like world beaters.

No one is to blame here but ND. Offense had every opportunity to blow it open and Book shit the bed. Defense is letting a mediocre offense roll down the field. Getting out coached and out played big time.

In what world are ya living? Kids don't lay down and say I wanna sleep without some help. I'd just love to talk to some of you face to face about your crybaby antics halfway through a game.

Feels like a typical big road game where Kelly panics and completely abandons the run game

Exactly. We are notorious for playing down to the level of our opponents.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Head lead with his head. Okwara shouldn't be a dumbass and do that.

We are lucky its tied. This team after the first 2 drives has played like a jv team.

It's not tied

Obviously, we have NFL homers on board. He led with his hands and It wasn't an intentional hit.

No

 

[pumpdog20]

I think the second half adjustment is heat on defense, and prove this guy can be accurate with pressure.

And run on first down.

More runs in general. Lets impose our will in the second half. Put Banks in and lets run behind our big guys. They are probably pissed right now. Lets let them use that anger in the second half.

Yea the way our offense runs and what the D gives Is hand in hand. You'd say something like Koon in order to be right If we do lose.

Get a CLUE!

 

[Junkhead]

Wait until later to cry about it. Played shitty most of first half, but tons of time left.

not sure I agree.
Our OL is not playing well, but their DL (best unit on their team) is playing well
Their STs is doing better than ours
Our OC calling too many plays not supportive of Book's skill set
Their DL is stopping almost every run
They are calling a great game. They have missed some big, easy shots

Like Whiskey said, the OCs need to have some serious conversation and think about shit. Our play calling on O has sucked IMO, and not to our strengths, and on D our DBs have played to soft

I don’t even understand what the heck you are even saying but we are getting out coached and out played so far. Sorry if that offends you. They way we are playing is offending me. ND needs to buckle the fvck down and quit playing down the VTs level.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

This is why you can never get too excited about a Brian Kelly team. Dude is the coaching equivalent of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Hopefully with being down most of our pass rush the DBs are forced to play up on the WRs as opposed to 'keeping everything in front of them'. Because it sure seemed that's what we did the entire half.

RTDB!

running didn't work with the plays called. I'm down for more runs, but need a different line of play calls.

 

[ginman]

have we even tried to run the ball

 

[Bluto]

Frankly, this is 100% on Book. He had multiple easy opportunities to put VT to sleep and he blew it. Then he comes out throws a terrible pick.

 

[SouthernIndianaNDFan]

Yes, backwards.

Proof is in the pudding so far. Again sorry if that offends you. Dont want to be right about ND losing. I hope we try to establish some sort of running game with Dex in the 2nd half and open it up for Book.

Hahahahahahahahaha

 

[Norcal Irish]

We are fine. Running game will come the second half. Adrenaline will leave Ian’s arm. Enjoy the second half.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

ND is lucky to be up 1 VT could easily be 9-10
