Yep. Pound sand, troll. Glad y’all got a tune up game in, instead of opening up on the road. ND could still have more wins over SEC teams at the end of September than a&m. See you in two weeks.

Because it won’t get a hell of a lot easier & honestly I saw more bad than good from that loss. I’ve been posting here since 2009 & we have had more close losses to good teams than wins in my time here. Very rarely have any of those close losses to good teams have resulted in a turn around, it’s usually led to a lot of mediocrity. This whole game felt like the typical Notre Dame let down where we might win some games against weak opponents, might win some games against some good opponents, but it’s once again shitting the bed on the big stage against a great team in prime time.

This is 2022-2023 OSU. This is 2017-2019 UGA. This was like all of 00’s USC loses. I don’t know if we are gonna achieve the ultimate goal this year which is a major let down after being so close last year.

It's a must win.

At least under MF, I don't think that's been true. I think it's been close to even or better.

The Irish will be fine against A&M. That Aggie run defense looked pretty pedestrian against an inferior opponent. Love and Price should have big games and that gives CJ plenty of room to make plays in the passing game. Irish rush for 200+ and win by double digits.

I could not believe how much bigger Miami's OL looked than our DL and looks like that won't be changing anytime soon.

The state of our interior DL is going to hold this team back.

They would actually have to touch the ball to have a big game

I wonder how Sevillano is progressing. We obviously need more size in the trenches.

Honestly, I think it’s a natural reaction to all the high expectations fans were having. Some of it was self-inflicted kool aid drinking. Then you add up all the ND beat writers assuring us how great the OL/DE/WR/CB are that it’s pretty fair to say most of the fanbase were expecting a comfortable win or even blowout. Go back and read the Miami thread or X and you’ll see it. I challenge the beat guys to let us know what they got right & what they got wrong in their pre-game analysis b/c that’s got to be a lopsided comparison.

Good news is it was a 3 pts loss on the road w/ a first time starting RS freshman QB so they can definitely get better. Miami looks like a top 10 team if you assume ND & UM were correctly slotted in a subjective preseason poll. We will know more about all teams around week 4-5.

Friendly Ag here. Not here to troll, but talk honest ball. How are y’all feeling?

Well, as you can imagine no one is happy about last night. I would expect ND will open up the playbook and get a bit more aggressive after seeing the qb isn’t going to be a detriment.

Being your qb is no Beck, I do anticipate ND playing a more aggressive defense as well.

I have some concerns about both the offense and defense lines. I feel if the aggies win in South Bend it will be about trench warfare.

I feel we are better than last year in kicking, punting, receiving, and passing qb.

FYI - UTSA’s RBs ran for 215 yards and 6.9ypc on A&M. A&M also only recorded 1 sack. They did lose a ton to the NFL, not totally unexpected for them to take a step back.

Bases on last night I would be surprised if ND gets more than 150 yards on the ground

Based on ratings I’m seeing I’m guessing the betting line will be around 2 or 3 as of now.

Is this going to be a big home crowd advantage to ND or one of those invasion games?
