Shembo is either hurt, confused or really bad all of a sudden. He does get held every play though

They're much more athletic, they can generate a pass rush unlike us, and they don't turn the ball over. Sure if we play well and don't turn the ball over it's a close game, but we're going to be a turnover team with Tommy. We can't act like that's not part of who we are.

How did we go from being more athletic last year to this? That isn't it. Soft with no qb play is the difference.

Mayock can get bent...he loves sucking off everyone we play....good lord

I love how every time the opposing team makes a play its the greatest thing he's ever seen. We make a play we got lucky or a " uncharacteristic missed assignment" I never thought id say it, bring back Hammond

Sorry but tommy sucks if he is the best we got then we got nothing. I believe malik should play here on oht because Tommy is not capable and never has been. For thos who believe in Tommy you probably believe on Santa as well. Tommy was the difference today he isn't good enough..................

I agree, but we gain nothing and go backwards with Hendrix or Zaire . It is was it is. tommy is below average as is Hendrix and Malik is a lefty freshman. The bend but don't break defensive has WAY to much bend in it and is pathetically slow. This is a average team that assuming this game is lost will lose 2 possibly 3 more. Positive is the running game showed life and take away 3 turnover who I throw 100% responsibility on Reese for 1 of those he gets 50% on the other 2. This game is winnable

Some upside for playing Hendrix or Zaire would be to simply get them ready for next year & try to get the offense in some type of rhythm & identity for next season. were not doing nothing this season might as well start preparing for next.

You don't think they're way more athletic than us? Have you seen our safeties this game? Our LBs? Oklahoma's DL?

What seems sad is there seems to be only one option on a pass play and if it isn't open just throw it away.

I am not dumb I know there are more but with Rees he looks at one person then throws it into the 20th row.

Hahaha. Saw this on Facebook:

There will be no resurrection here today folks. REESUS has officially cancelled REESTER SUNDAY tomorrow, and will eternally rest, instead of leading us followers to the promised land. Anybody want to go to the Sun Bowl?

So in 1 year the talent level changed that much? We were clearly more talented last year. Sorry but that isn't it.

When you lose Golson and Te'o...ABSOLUTELY!

Open your eyes dude, why must fans be so emotional when it comes to criticism of their favorite team, I been a Notre Dame fan for a Very long time I love the Irish but I am not going to lie to myself and pretend like everything is OK I see the weaknesses and what we lack and as a true fan I will call it out EVERY TIME!

how bad are we, we know they are going to run and we can't stop them.

Wow, this is depressing.

BK has a lot to improve with this.

They had just over 450 yards of offense. Tommy deserves blame, but this defense can take it's fair share too IMO.

I saw our online control them their defense when we committed to the run.

But we are soft on both lines. That's on the coaches. Same reason we couldn't do anything against Purdue. Soft. That isn't athletic ability. This won't ever change with Kelly here.

Our middle LBs do stink which is on Kelly and diaco.

I feel there is no energy on either side of the ball -- honestly I don't see any SWAG. It just feels really different this year compared to last year.

I liked Rees this whole year and last but today he played like the Tommy everybody hated.
