Kelly said his hand was injured and that Golson is the starter

How could someone who was hurt be the starter before being medically evaluated after the game?

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

I don't think there was any evidence that Golson could not make that drive. He played very well and I'm pretty sure he could've gone 3-8.

they hadn't moved the ball since the beginning of the 3rd quarter?! He wouldn't even throw the ball, was holding on way to long and was starting to miss bad on short routes, was completely flustered

 

[rikkitikki08]

Also anyone who said they hope we lose because of tommy coming in for a hurt Golson should be banned. Im sick of these ****ing fair weather fans

 

[CTIDANDREW]

I believe we did so in case of a bad snap....if that happens we are in overtime w/o a 2nd chance to kick again

No it was fourth down bad snap wouldn't have made a difference.

Some of you people are so sad, I'm looking at you irishpat183. Rooting for Purdue to win. F'n BS.

EG looked shaken on that last drive, it was the right call to put TR in the game. If you remember, he drove us down the field in Ann Arbor last year and threw a TD with 30 sec left. Should have had the win.

 

[returnofthemack]

Just my opinion, but the offense was out of sync and needed something. I thought Golson played great too and I'm glad he's starting.

Yeah the offense was a little out of sync, but that's what happens when the run game is taken away I guess. I can't wait for Cierre to be back.

 

[Redbar]

Lololol

There are a myriad of areas that need improvement, that is not one of them. Hahah

So quick to LOL at somebody making an intelligent observation, and then say something NOT intelligent

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Is there a way to watch kelly's post game presser?

 

[ACamp1900]

And NBC did an awful job of keeping us informed as to who was hurt and what their injuries were. Where's Dockery when you need him?

This.... I was ready to bury bk when he pulled eg.... But he stated after eg got hurt... Had NBC done their job... I'd have never questioned... I do wonder though, is nd not reporting injuries bc there were WAY too many cases of this today.

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

No it was fourth down bad snap wouldn't have made a difference.

your complaining about leaving 8 sec's? and your complaining about a squib kick? What if he doesn't get all of it and we give one of the best returners a normally set up return...

 

[GUknights75]

Buster you cant be serious.

We knelled the ball on 2nd down to get to the middle of the field.

Third down we clock it with exactly 11 seconds left. How does this make any sense at all. Why wouldn't we run the clock down to 2-3 seconds to make the fg attempt the last play.

If Purdue would have scored on the hail mary you wouldn't be lolololololololol

ummmmm, you ever heard of a dropped snap?..........dont be ignorant thats all

And it was 3rd down buddy not 4th...
Riddick got the 1st down, tommy took the knee in the middle, then they spiked it. 3rd down

 

[IrishYYC]

I'm just happy we won. Thats all that matters. No matter who's in at QB. We won. Some of us need to remember why we are ND fans. Hoping for a loss because of who is in at QB is unacceptable. Tommy is on OUR team. When he's in, we should support him. Every one of those kids deserves our support. Go Irish!

Reps!

I can't believe some people were actually hoping we lost this game because Rees was in. You people need to give your head a shake.

Bottom line is we won the game. I give Tommy credit for coming into the game in a tough spot and he led the team all the way down the field for the game winning FG. He's a class act and a team first guy so props to Tommy.

The Offensive line today was really bad. Taking dumb penalties and getting no push on Purdue's defensive front. That needs to change if were going to beat State. Hopefully having Cierre back will help.

Golson played well. There's going to be mistakes and blunders for a guy making his 2nd career start and 1st at home but you can tell that there's progression. It looks like he was banged up and that's why he was pulled but Kelly said he's still the starter.

Overall, it was nerve racking but a win's win. Lets move on and get ready for Sparty.

 

[rikkitikki08]

Real question....possible gameday is in east lansing next week?

 

[jodyndfb]

O-Line got there *** kicked today!

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

Keep in mind that we had 5 starters out for a good chunk of the second half. Just saying
Eifert
Slaughter
Daniels
Ishaq
KLM

yea, we should all be happy with a W

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Kicker pressure.

That is a terrible excuse. You're a college kicker pressure is part of the job

 

[CTIDANDREW]

ummmmm, you ever heard of a dropped snap?..........dont be ignorant thats all

It was 4th!!!! DOWN!!!! a dropped snap wouldn't have made a difference. Please dont call me ignorant my man.

that was more of a running QB no way he was throwing that thing all the way to endzone as proved on the throw...not even close

 

[mgriff]

He already missed one in the first quarter. Mitigate risk my man, it was the right call. The mental aspect is a huge part of football.

 

[rikkitikki08]

O-Line got there *** kicked today!

Yes we did, but Purdue has a damn good D-line. Not making excuses but its one of the top Defensive lines in the country

 

[CTIDANDREW]

reps thank you

it was 3rd down dude, read my post again I edited it

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

and your a college DB, a hailmary shouldn't be a problem...against a qb with a puss arm

 

[rikkitikki08]

Can we all just calm down a bit....possibly eat some fruit?


I love all of you guys, ND won with a boatload of injuries against an underrated purdue team. GO IRISH!

 

[NYMIKE6]

It was Ugly, but WE WON BABY...

A W is a W

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Any way to watch Kelly's presser? Anyone?

 

[tadman95]

I bet Golson will be sore tomorrow, he took some hits.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Hey guys I stepped out at then end did anything happen???


A win is a win is a win. I hope at least half the 55 guys injured are available against MSU.
