Amazing how many people complain about Adams he has been awesome since his freshman year especially considering the lack of big play potential backs ND has had since Julius Jones.

ND's defense is getting so good. They're really damn good.

On the negative side, I couldn't be more unimpressed with Tony jones. Wth?

ABC sucks. First, they go to some ridiculous segment on the turf and we miss commentary on 2 plays. Then they cut to a highlight and we completely miss a big 3rd down stop by the D. Fire whatever producer is calling the shots this game!!!

They also did that "practice field" segment that ran over two plays.

Alize had a td drop but catching everything else. Happy with his focus this game.

I think ESPN is the culprit. Remember, they have a deal with ABC to broadcast their sporting events on ABC. I remember when ABC itself had sports, their coverage on college football was king.

That he did what he was supposed to against a awful 1-4 football team.

This SHOULD be a blowout. Anything less would be a poor outing.

First time redshirt freshman starter on the road? Pretty harsh STL lol.


I'm simply referring the number of points we've put up this quarter vs. the first quarter in the other games and the holes that our line opens up when Wimbush is in. Of course this is Book's first time playing so it really isn't a fair comparison.

I think things are going to open up in a big way in the second half.

Our O line, IMO is not as good as I thought it would be this year (thus far at least). I'm sure they will improve. I'd say NC Defense was probably planning to key in on run plays the first several possessions being Book is a first time starter on the road.

Watching Tony Jones run is like watching a chubbier, easier to tackle Cam Mcdaniel.

Anyone else reveling in these mich/mich st. commercials reliving the epic choke job the skunkbears had on that punt fumble? I know I am... I laugh and smile every time.

This. Plus our play-calls were really conservative.

Rain could keep us from opening things up, though.

He's getting better and better. I hate that he was shelved for a year. We need him to be a rock star in the second half of the season.
