Sept 20 | Purdue

[Crazy Balki]

They will lose to Arkansas and USC for sure but every other game SHOULD be winnable, although I am not sure if they win today.

No game is winnable moving forward with this garbage ass defense.

 

[IrishBoognish]

This should be completely unacceptable for a program that says it’s competing for national titles.

this is a championship team with the right schemes on D

The sack was so easy to see coming, it looked like last year

DO LAST YEAR

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Wow, that was reminiscent of the Weis era defense. I had flashbacks of a mediocre BC QB just dinking & dunking down the field & there was nothing ND could do about it. Only difference here is this D consisted of higher rated recruits.

 

[LifelongFan]

Ash and Washington should both be out of here. And whoever the guy coaching LBs too. Mickens can stay but the rest of the defensive staff needs to be entirely rebuilt.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

It’s not though. You can easily find 4-5 more losses on there. Purdue and stanford duke it out for worst opponent but this version of the team 100% loses one of cuse, pitt, nc state

Cuse, Pitt, NC state and USC all can all beat us

 

[Hammer Of The Gods]

Has a year one coordinator at any level been fired 4 weeks in? I'm looking for a precedent so we have just cause.

 

[IrishGlory]

DB’a are absolutely terrible.

 

[MrNimbus]

Lol at Freeman being pissed at the defense

Ash is an absolute disaster.

 

[LifelongFan]

Syracuse as well

With Angeli done I question it. Cuse is very bad, Clemson is just the 2024 FSU team. To be fair, we might be as well.

 

[Katzenboyer]

He has to be fired. The stakes are too high if he isn’t.

 

[Blazers46]

Carr 3/4 for 94 yards. Weird stat of the half.

 

[SportsingHard]

BVG vibes

By far the best DC over the past 16 years in terms of first few games at ND. Possibly much longer.

 

[LifelongFan]

Honestly, I take it back. You have to consider firing Mickens as well with this defense. He has recruited these guys and coached them up. And they suck ass.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Why do I feel like we’re losing this game?

Very real possibility if the offense stalls.

 

[T Town Tommy]

As much as I like Freeman, almost four games in and no improvement on the defensive side. Some of this does fall on him at this point.

 

[sportallyr]

Nice block by Eli!

 

[irishff1014]

This should be completely unacceptable for a program that says it’s competing for national titles.

We had our run last year will be 10 years til the next.

 

[Tejas]

Good escape, bad throw. Gotta clean that up

 

[Huntr]

It's kind of wild how there are serious problems at all 3 levels of the defense.

 

[greyhammer90]

Actually hilarious how Carr is giving us some of our best traditional QB passing play since Weis and our defense is suddenly also playing like a Weis team.

 

[RocketIsmail25]

Zips it into a tight window. Doin the bull dance, feeling the flow. Working it, working it.

 

[Riddickulous]

Love is a superstar man

 

[RocketIsmail25]

BOOM

 

[Tejas]

Can Love and/or Price rush the QB also?

 

[NorthDakota]

Mr. Love didnt want to be forgotten

 

[NDShark]

Oh my god

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

Wow. What a run!

 

[IrishinSyria]

can't believe y'all were acting like there's a chance we lose this game with these backs.

 

[IrishLax]

With the exception of Knapp being trash, they literally have not stopped the offense once

 

[ThePiombino]

We might score 70 and still not cover the spread.
