You are not allowed to bring up facts that show our coach in a bad light you will be puneished. Like this on all ND boards and it's kind of weird.

Its ridiculous for every single series to be a referendum on the coach. They had no film on the defense Purdue is running (they have a new DC and showed only vanilla last week). They've moved the ball OK and stalled on two of their three drives. Give them a little bit of a chance to settle into the game. You don't win every game 50-10.

Can we have Cierre please? Not that it's the RBs fault (lineman's), but we need someone between the tackles.

Difficult opponent playing very well, lets try to keep a level head. EG looks like a young quarterback, but the throws he has made have been pretty good except for the one to TE where he was covered well. Purdue's DL is legit and they are ready to play, I understand why we came out slinging it but I think we hoped we'd be in a position to pound it out later. We still might, face it we had to see how well we could play this sort of game, too. We won't be able to just run over everybody, like Sparty next weekend.

Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass

And what is he supposed to do? Lose yards on a run, lose yards on a run, lose yards on a run, lose yards on a run?

Their first 24 plays were 14 passes and 10 runs. I think you are speaking in hyperbole.

I love B K, I think if he adapts more he can still be great, like he did last week. He is stubborn thogh.

Amen. People are ridiculous. It's no wonder ND's stadium environment sucks. 1/2 the people are just bitching about his lack of run plays. Seriously, how simplistic can you be in your criticism? It's always a good sign that people don't know much about football when their criticism is just run the ball. That's it. Brilliance.

I think its fair to say they should commit more to the run.
