Rice Postgame

[IrishLax]

1. It is remarkable watching a team that consistently dominates the teams that it is supposed to beat.

2. We generally play mistake-free or mistake-minimal football which cannot be taken for granted watching other CFB. And then we do maybe the best job in country of capitalizing off of mistakes / turnovers that the opponent makes.

3. WRs are very good. They're generally displaying very good hands and consistently getting open the first two weeks. Hopefully that continues to be a case against stiffer competition later in the year / during playoffs.

4. Nolan James is pretty clearly the most effective and versatile RB on the roster through the first two games. Does a great job of creating extra yards after contact.

No Here Come The Irish before kick and no Alama Mater after the game pissed me off

otherwise? no notes

 

[Riddickulous]

Run game is still a concern for me. 32 carries for 118 yards.

 

[402puck]

The young skill guys are legit, they’re going to have to find a way to get them on the field more

Bryce Young is a scaaaaarrrrrryyyyyy man

 

[Greenore]

Saul Goodman. Great game and fantastic to see the quality and depth in all positions.

I know it's Rice but the lads were on fire today. Should breed a lot of confidence.

Cheers and Go Irish!!

Running back is my biggest concern about the run game. James and Jonaz are out playing Aneyas.

 

[SportsingHard]

Loved the game.

Ranking likelihood of 2027 QB starter:
Portal
Jarrard
Grubbs

 

[SDIrishFan]

Run game has me nervous. WRs took a step forward today.

Defense is other worldly

 

[ACamp1900]

I’ll never understand those who want top five matchups every week,… give me ten of those a year thank you very much. That was fun as hell

 

[IrishEyesAreSmiling]

we cooked food.

ND passing game:

 

[KPENN]

12 game win streak. Outscoring opponents 533-156. Average margin of victory 31.4

 

[ACamp1900]

The new blue pill,…

 

[Irish2155]

As expected, which is good. 3 fumbles in like the first 6 or 7 plays caught me off guard…one scoop and score.

Love getting the young guys time and still holding the shutout

 

[LifelongFan]

Glad to finish them off immediately snd get the backups some action. RB is a concern, Aneyas has no vision or patience needed. CJ and the defense are so good it might only matter against 3 or 4 teams this season.

 

[tussin]

Not used to ND teams where we get to see so little of the ones. I love to dominate but I also love to watch CJ Carr! Alas, first world problems of CFB.

The defense is so nails that it’s hard to imagine a scenario where we lose a regular season game outside of Miami.

 

[Chino Cherokee]

12 game win streak. Outscoring opponents 533-156. Average margin of victory 31.4

I've worn my lucky green/leprechaun shirt for 12 games in a row now.

Y'all are welcome.

Carr looked great. Defense looked exceptional. Run game needs to improve but I like Nolan James over Williams at the moment. Bring on Sparta!

 

[NDPhilly]

 

[MacIrish75]

My biggest feedback is my son refused to leave early. Attakid, Jr.

Also, pass pro was fantastic. Not sure a QB got touched.

Well... Ive always started Nolan James as RB1 in EA College Football, so I think we're right

 

[Steds83]

Don’t think I’m ready to throw Aneyas to the curb quite yet. His 2nd half against Wisconsin is still the best any RB has looked to me thus far…think I would personally give him another week or two before rethinking that.

The game was over in five minutes. I almost felt bad for their offense, trying to move the ball. Maybe that option shit works against some teams but we were just so fast on D.

Correction: The game was over in 14 seconds.

Huge problem and I suspect it's caused by one player.....

I felt bad for the offense. Not a fun scheme to run against a vastly superior opponent who hits with the intensity and swarms to the ball Notre Dame does

 

[GoldenAura]

Carr's deep shot to Micah Gilbert was a thing of beauty.

As was Grubbs ball to JBJ. Both dimes.

That was also Carr, I believe.
