If Kelly was in Dobo’s place, no way he would have started Trevor Lawrence over the veteran.

 

[Luckylucci]

What in the actual Fuck does book think he’s throwing that too. It’s a damn tunnel screen. Just a soft touch pass will do.

 

[Rudy89]

We lost our defensive heart and our QB sucks....this sucks.

 

[arahop]

Hope Hamilton is ok. Terrible luck. I don't know why I let people convince me that Ian Book is anything other than an above average QB. Can't see over the line. Any time he throws to the middle of the field it's a bad result. Has zero touch. Throws every thing as hard as he can including that Screen that would have been a TD

 

[Blaise]

Just once, i want Book to step into the pocket and throw deep

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Where's Lenzy?

 

[NDRock]

Same play concepts, over and over.

Zero creativity.

Well, our OC has limited experience away from Brian Kelly.

 

[Luckylucci]

On the OL Patterson gets the nod as worst player of the game so far. He just combined for a triple team block while leaving a free rusher up the middle. Great work Patterson

 

[ThePiombino]

Classic Book taking a loss when he could have thrown it away instead...

He's useless. Throwing fastballs on everything. Zero understanding of what he needs to do situationally.

 

[Irishnuke]

Thank God Williams can run because Book can’t hit anything.

Sorry, not seeing a top ten team. Too easy to get caught up in all the Ready to Rumble, pre season accolades. Shame on me for thinking anything would be different.

Taking this game with a grain of salt given the new new. I expected rust. I agree it looks bad, but haven't been impressed with most of the teams that have played already. If Clemson comes out and looks like a world beater, I might start to worry a bit. I'm more worried about our OL. The only thing that is consistently working for us is running the edge.

If Kelly was in Debo's place, there's no way in hell a QB of Lawrence's talent would have wanted to play for him lol

It is inexcusable that Book continues to run out of bounds for a loss instead of throwing it away.

Not a top ten?? Alright, you are reading way too much into 1 game...

There is not 10 teams in the ACC/Big12/SEC who is better than ND

He's looked bad, but Kraemer has been worse IMO. and Banks has done a few bull fighter impressions too. And I'll give a mention to Tremble on a bad whiff when he stayed in to block.

Agree

 

[ThePiombino]

And to think we all wanted this...

Notre Dame only has 1 game to be judged on. Right now their season has been garbage... sure its only been 3 quarters of a season but garbage.

 

[rileys07]

Defense looked suspect on that drive

That fake sweep then pass, there was a lineman down field. No call.

I guess it depends on your expectations. If you were expecting us to be a true NC contender, then this will show that isn’t happening. If you’re hoping we continue our trend of the last 3 years, then that’s attainable. Finishing 2nd and making the ACC CG would be very good, IMO.

His whole concept of playing QB is inexcusable. If it’s not Book, it’s the OL. And when it’s not Book, it’s the OL. That group of 6 is just playing terrible football.

 

[NDVirginia19]

Mayer made a good play, but with time why do you throw a 3 yard in route on 3rd and 7?

 

[IrishInOntario]

Same ahirty third down call. Luckily Mayer is really good.

Already better than Kmet because he doesn't go down when someone sneezes in his direction.

 

[NorthDakota]

This Mayer dude is big

 

[Blaise]

Im going to love Baby Gronk

 

[irishtrooper]

Mayer is strong

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

He's better than Tremble.

 

[Irish YJ]

Mayer just went beast mode. Tremble doesn't do that.

Yep same story different year. Rees has called a good game, but we are who we always have been.
