Can't get off blocks at all.

When we brought in Zaire he gave a spark. The D was more depleted than this one.

 

[jerboski]

It's always the most frustrating thing for me as an ND fan. No matter who, it seems like they always save their best game for ND. So annoying but understandable.

I wonder why this, bad luck, or maybe we just aren't that good

 

[NDRock]

Guesses on interim DC?

Joe Schmidt? He knows the D.

Joe Schmidt? He knows the D.

Haha! I bet Joe would be a better coach than player

 

[Circa]

Dantonio may be winning the game but he looks like a walking dead man. He looks unhealthy!

 

[pumpdog20]

This top rated O Line is also very disappointing. 3 man rush and Kizer takes a hit. Great catch by Claypool though.

 

[irishff1014]

Imagine that another good pass.

VG has this look like he knows it might be his last game.

At this point we have no choice because we would have to literally fire everyone, not just BVG. This year is going to be awful.

 

[GATTACA!]

The offense has a lot to do with this game, for sure. However, the defense gave up 36pts when Furman gave up what?

Haha yeah Furman gave up 28 points the entire game.

 

[twig21]

Hurry up for god sake.

 

[dang227]

This top rated O Line is also very disappointing. 3 man rush and Kizer takes a hit. Great catch by Claypool though.

The offensive line has been crap all year

 

[Cackalacky]

Dantonio pulling punches

 

[Circa]

We can't get a Fucking call!

 

[dang227]

We can't even run for two fvcking yards. This offensive line is baby soft.

 

[irishff1014]

The oline is not good at all

 

[adptdirish]

What does Flutie mean by a vanilla look?

 

[dang227]

How does he not score there? Hit the fvcking hole. It was wide open. I don't even think he got the first.

 

[pumpdog20]

Our O Line is just not good enough to run the read option. Need to run downhill calls. Got a favorable spot there, I thought he was short.

 

[philipm31]

That spot was generous.

 

[IrishLax]

That's why we don't throw to tight ends

 

[dang227]

That spot was generous.

It really was

 

[pumpdog20]

Now I know why they don't throw to TEs.

 

[BeatSC]

So we're gonna get a couple garbage scores and make it look less awful but regardless Starbucks's needs to step in if Kelly won't cann his butt boy

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

very nice fight. Just keep it up on both sides.

 

[irishff1014]

Our power run is a QB draw up the middle. Yikes

 

[twig21]

That look on Dantonio's was classic.

 

[BeatSC]

Kizer is our best power running back
