Wasn't the only TD of this game albeit one that was called back a completed pass?

My postgame observations:
(without watching the game and hearing/reading information about the game)
1. Jaylon Smith
2. Will Fuller
3. CJ Prosise
4. Ronnie Stanley
5. Sheldon Day
6. Nick Martin
7. KeiVarae Russell
8. Steve Elmer
9. Elijah Shumate
10. Romeo Okwara
11. Chris Brown
12. Amir Carlisle

Bonus-- Aliz'e Jones and Max Redfield (not playing this year)

I thought this team would overcome it's youngness and be better than a 2-4 team.

These guys above are missed more than we know this year.

I hope we don't go 2-10 and getting rid of Kelly is not the answer.

Go Irish!!

Isn't the majority of the top 10 young teams.........they all lose players too

Same problem since the day we hired Kelly. He's a spread it out, throw the ball all over the field, basketball on grass type of coach. ND will never be consistently elite with that type of program. Hopefully the next guy understands physical football and will throw to a fucking TE once in awhile. We have 6 completions to TEs this year. Glad we're utilizing one of the few positions we can recruit at an elite level. Mind blowing. Oh well.

I think he'd be good at Houston if Herman leaves this year. He would fit right in, in the Big XII.

Hang on, Hang on. Rudolph & Eifert ain't walking through that door. The guys we got are nowhere near that high level we held for a decade. I agree we need to get more physical & yes Saturday's game plan sucked, but the TE's we have aren't the difference makers we are in need of. If the O-Line can't develop rushing lanes - TOAST!

Nope. scUM, Clemson, Bama, Washington, TxA&M, Tennessee, Baylor, & Louisville all veteran teams.

Great Point Bluto.

All three of our TEs were top 10 recruits at their position coming out of high school. Other positions we seem to develop with similarly ranked kids.

No

I still don't understand why this game was even played. Give up on the pass, drop the TE. Add a 6th lineman and run the ball in hurry up the entire drive. Maybe vs Navy?

Worst play calling I've ever seen. That alone should get Kelly fired. It's like he walked out in the rain and thought it'd be a good day to air it out...Moron.

Game was garbage. But I loved playing in the rain.

I got drunk and made an incredible pork butt. The key is to get hammered so you stop messing with it and concentrate on yelling at the TV and your family.

I think the Zaire play captures everything I hate about Kelly as a coach.

I think one would get the benefit of the doubt given the conditions. MZ is not the type of guy when I think of quitter.

I don't think Zaire has quit on this team, but his body language coming off the field spoke volumes to me. Once in he should have been given the opportunity for at least a set to see what he could do.

This loss sits squarely on BK. We're down, but have a chance and we start running the ball with success. Get a couple of first downs and all of a sudden we start throwing again?

Any guesses if Mistipher will be starting this week?
