I can't believe this game is a toss up.....how terrible is that.

 

[EvilleIrish]

We lose this one and I think the season might completely go off the rails.

Talking heads had us at 7-4 pre season. Maybe they weren’t wrong

What's sad is that 7-4 with this schedule is the equivalent of 4-7.

There's just no reason this team loses to any team on this schedule. There's way too much talent on this team for them to be playing this poorly.

Did I miss Kelly coming out with his QB choice or are they basically mum until the first set of downs begins?

Leaving fans in angst is a ND head coach hallmark....

Vegas was giving basically even money for under 9 wins before the season started.

Kelly is so crafty. He loves dressing up as Bill Belichik and dancing in the mirror like Buffalo Bill.

Let's just say you and I admire and TRUST different kinds of people.

These talking heads of whom you are so enamored, which of the TWELVE GAMES we are playing did they anticipate being CANCELED or FORFEITED.

12

Like Apostles
Like 12 months in a year
Like ND's 12 game schedule

Habla 'Rithmetic?..


Your clincher quote was "There's way too much talent on this team for them to be playing this poorly>" Did you steal this quote from Clemson? Texas A&M? North Carolina? LSU?...

But here is what YOU specifically should concern thyself with:

"Do you, Valpodoc, have "way too much talent" to post about an 11 game schedule?"


Or not.......................

Junk-tucked Buffalo Bill cross dress dance is all of us

Hey, what you do at home is your business! Just don't speak for the rest of us

Got some insider info on QB for Saturday night. Not sure I trust it yet but throwing it out there anyway. Dont be surprised to see #17 leading the offense. Dont be surprised to see Coan and only Coan Saturday. Hope it's not true but wanted to share this possibility.

Sampson on his podcast said he's confident ND wins this game

Respectfully, I really hope you’re wrong, lol. I don’t think I can take anymore of that. I was legit close to turning off the TV with Coan at QB.

On the Shamrock pod they had a VA Tech writer on. Sampson went through the things ND sucks at and was like "do you think Virginia Tech can take advantage of that at all?" And he was like "No." It was pretty funny.

These are two teams kind of stumbling in the dark on offense trying to find something that works. It's probably going to be another Wisconsin type game unless Pyne starts and can put some long drives together. If Coan starts it's gonna be a great first drive, followed by like 5 three and outs as is custom.

Yeah that was hilarious. That Va Tech guy thinks neither team gets to 20 but has zero confidence in Virginia Tech's offense to do anything at all. He even seems to think ND gets a run game going.

Kelly is going to stick with "his guy" most likely. I'm glad I'm traveling for lacrosse and will be forced to search for the game online.

Is Alt starting at LT?

If kelly doesn’t make a change and it’s a close win or they lose he knows he will be blast and 100% will deserve it.

Personally, I say ride the Buchner train and let him experience his growing pains. We got nothing to play for this year, so I want all the cob webs shaken off before next season when we'll end up with a losing record if we don't have a QB that is adequate.

 

[EvilleIrish]

I can’t imagine Coan gets the nod.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Agreed....I think we're going to go with Pyne and play Buchner in spots. Should be strictly red zone, unless he gets every rep, which is what I would like to see us go with.

 

[Irishize]

I can’t imagine Coan gets the nod.

I can’t either but I’m also going in w/ caution regarding Pyne. He’s not Ian Book & even Book threw two picks in his 1st start of the QB change (luckily they won handily anyways but he actually had a functioning OL).

 

[GoldenAura]

If BK is really sticking with Coan, I'm not watching.

I don’t think you’ll be the only one.

 

[BleedBlueGold]

I value the opinion of Prister, OMalley, and Sampson. IIRC, someone mentioned that obviously the press isn't seeing everything the coaches see in practice. It's definitely possible that Pyne is just a gamer and isn't consistent enough in practice to give the coaches confidence to start him over Coan. It's also been discussed that Pyne doesn't read defenses very well. If the staff views that as a major liability against a VT defense, on the road, at night...then I won't be shocked to see Coan start. And if that's the case, Tommy Rees better get his play calling together, because what he did in the Cincy game was pretty bad, outside of the first drive (until Coan's ridiculous INT).

Trust me I hope I'm wrong too! With Kelly's track record and being stubborn it makes sense. Last week at halftime I went out and mowed the lawn because i couldn't take it anymore. Cincinnati was a totally beatable team.

 

[NDdomer2]

Pyne has def had some head scratching throws the last two games. However, we might be just as of at risk for turnover or wtf plays by having Coan statue back there behind this OL. I think decision on mobility is the key here. Pyne can extend some plays and get some extra yards.

For the love of god if we play Buchner can we just throw a standard slant to get things started for him.

 

[pumpdog20]

He's fucking with the media. Has been all year. No way he's going with Coan... right BK... right?
