So who starts against State?

Golson

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

Exactly. Who starts next week now? I mean if you're Golson, your basically saying to yourself that my coach doesn't trust me in the clutch and if I make a mistake I'll be pulled just like Crist was.

I mean I give Tommy a lot of credit for driving them down for the game winning FG but still, it is mind boggling I agree.

They hadn't moved the ball since the first drive of 2nd half, how can Golson argue..he'll get his 2nd shot

 

[irishff1014]

do u know all the facts, were u in practice all week?? you guys obviously don't coach

He was good enough to return kicks? He set us up in good position in the first place.

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

lol and come to find out he was injured, man, I love ND but we've got some pathetic fans

 

[elboricua]

ok whew. Golson was a little hurt and he was unsure how well he would play. Good stuff. Can still start him now. Thank the jesus.

 

[domerfor life]

I dont care how he does it as long as we win

Exactly.

 

[johnnykillz]

Golson

Confirmed.

 

[IrishYYC]

Well looks like Golson starts next week.

 

[NYIrish14]

Sweeter words have never been spoken. Thank you Kelly.

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Kelly just admitted EG is the starter

 

[ALLGATOR]

I guess at least Golson still has his job

 

[elboricua]

lol and come to find out he was injured, man, I love ND but we've got some pathetic fans

normally I'm with you but he did bench Crist in a ridiculous situation and he shouldn't have. On top of that, Golson could be seen being angry about it on the sidelines. Didn't look good. Gut check win and hopefully they ratchet up the tempo.

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

EG was hurt!!!!! Thank you baby jesus


Kelly said " Eg is starter next week"

 

[Buster Bluth]

What this does to Golson's confidence is mind boggling.

Bullshit. One conversation with him gakes care of it. He's not a pussy, he'll be fine.

 

[johnnykillz]

Pray for forgiveness tonight those of you with so little faith...

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

He was good enough to return kicks? He set us up in good position in the first place.

kelly was on riddick early, obviously something was up with GAIII, or he would have pulled the plug quick...your not thinking about any of this

 

[SaltyND24]

Anybody who wished for a loss should go kill yourself. Seriously, go play in traffic.....at night.

Seriously though and may I drive

 

[Rhode Irish]

Really happy for Tommy and really happy Golson didn't/isn't getting benched. His play didn't justify a benching.

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

Tommy, what a class act...so much more composure than all you weak lil pansies, crying at any sign of adversity!!! LOL

 

[Redbar]

I think it was very smart to go with Tommy in that circumstance, you've got to use all your tools. EG will start next week, but no timeouts and you need a drive...good move. Great win in the end, a much improved Purdue team. Could not be happier for Tommy, guy has done nothing but his best for us on the field. One very silly mistake who hasn't made one.

 

[Irishpinoy]

Don't wanna see Rees start. He doesn't have much upside. But good job today anyway Tommy.

 

[johnnykillz]

Seriously though and may I drive

Take the bus.

Much more dramatic.

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Kelly said Golson was banged up. Golson is the starter I wouldn't want a starter who didn't think he was the best chance for the team to win

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

Most of you complaining about the ax of EG were complaining about Kelly throwing it too much with him in the 1st half, get your stories straight and learn some football...

 

[elboricua]

now they just have to get a much better game plan for MSU and go uptempo or else Golic will be eaten

 

[gkIrish]

Happy we won but if Golson is healthy and doesn't start next week I'm going to be very unhappy. Kid played out of his mind good this week and should not have been pulled if healthy

 

[elboricua]

also, has Chris Brown really played at all?

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Why the hell did we not run the clock down on the FG attempt

Also why did we sqib the ball when we could have kicked it out of the endzone.

I mean wow terrible clock management.

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

Happy we won but if Golson is healthy and doesn't start next week I'm going to be very unhappy. Kid played out of his mind good this week and should not have been pulled if healthy

Kelly said Golson is the starter?!

 

[gkIrish]

Kelly said Golson is the starter?!

I'm going to wait and see
