D needs to set the 2nd half tone right off the bat. Keep momentum on our side.

Good half by the Irish. I wish we could have kicked a fg right before half. But we need to stay focused and come out as a 0-0 game.

D playing great, O is making some plays...Only thing that I will say we need to work on is penalties (killing us) and Golson needs to hit those routes sooner. Gotta throw the ball before the route breaks. Corners are jumping them and before long, it may cost us.


But keep up the aggressive play calling. Love it. Golson will develop that touch and start hitting those deep throws. Love that our WR's are getting open on those deep routes.

I think ND needs to try to establish the run game here. Eat up some clock, keep the MSU O off the field. Pretty happy with what'd going on so far, though.

I think Mich st will help us out there. They aren't going to stop running the ball.

Bell is the kind of runner that wears teams down. But we've made it tough on him. I don't know if he can handle that punishment for 4 qtrs. If we add to the lead they'll have to throw the ball and he won't be as much a factor. Need a big stop on this first possession.

Golson is gutsy with his passing. I like confidence but MSU's secondary has a pick coming their way. Law of averages.

Speaking of law of averages, Maxwell's receiver's owe his some receptions. ND's secondary is getting better game by game but Maxwell threw a couple of long balls that should have been caught.


ND outrushing MSU 63 yds to 47 yds. Not much but it's supposed to be their strength. ND leads 5.3 yds/rush to MSU's 2.5.


MSU has almost 6 more minutes in TOP. I'll trade them 6 minutes of TOP and a FG per half versus ND's 2 TDs anytime.

Has Davaris made his way onto the field yet? Golson was awfully close to hitting a couple of passes over the top. Breezy Brown at the outset that would have been huge. Connect on one and it's a complexion changer.

Personally, on offense we should keep doing want we have been. Different formations and moving the pocket. It's working so do it for at least another quarter and then swith up to the run game heavy.

MSU has 3 drives of 13 plays, 10 plays, and 7 for 3 pts.

ND has 1 dirve over 5 plays, an 8 play drive that resulted in a punt.


ND scores came on a 2:45 minute drive and a 1:15 minute drive.
