I really want to see all kinds of blitz and packages thrown at Fromm send 3 then send 8 make him throw the ball and get it out early the more times he throws more than likely Hamilton houses one

I won’t be surprised if Vandy’s offensive numbers end up better to the eye than ND’s. It’s not b/c ND isn’t better than Vandy...they are. It’s the challenge ND faces in that, even as a prohibitive underdog; they get everyone’s best game so UGA will be running on all cylinders against ND vs their opener at Vandy when they knew there would be no one watching nationally & they could win with their 2nd team.

Dererk Mason lost the team last year after we beat them. Nobody ever reports on the scale of win or lose we have on opposing teams.
You have been looking like a shit-stirring pot for the last few days. Good luck with that on Saturday.

Since we've spent most of the week belaboring the heck out of the thought we have very little to no chance of winning, why not go over best opportunities for an upset? Matchups we can exploit?

I'm not getting jacked up thinking we're going to win, but I'm getting jacked up thinking about the opportunity to do so. Isn't that what competition is all about?

Exactly. Love this post!

Long-time lurker, first time poster. For the last few years I was content with just checking in for the latest conspiracy theories and unfounded rumors going on around ND football, but then I became less busy at work and thought “Hey, I might just be able to add some insight into the various activities that might have led to Davonte leaving the program.”
Just kidding of course. I get on here way too often because I enjoy the commentary from the diverse group of members on here. Plus it’s a great way for everyone to contribute the latest intel they are hearing and figure out what makes the most sense... which usually happens to be the worst version of the story. Sorry to derail the thread!

I agree. Looks to be another attention-seeking Koon friend. Better check the politics forum.

I don't think we'll be able to sustain drives, so I think we'll need to force some turnovers in Georgia territory and/or hit a few big plays.

This is a great game to try a trick play. IIRC we opened the 2017 game with a flea flicker bomb. Maybe an Avery Davis double pass?

 

[Luckylucci]

So, I've been wondering if we'll run that Bear front (looks similar to a 3-4, 0T in the middle, with 2 3's next him and standing ROLB's on the outside of them) more this week. We did against Clemson early, to quite a bit success. It seems like normally it's a Nickel/Dime package but wondering if Lea would be willing to use it in early downs or how that'd work. Seems like something I'd be willing to practice. If they haven't already.

Kelly/Long are going to have to draw up an amazing scheme that catches UGA by surprise in my opinion.

LOTS of Claypool. He is probably our one and only physical freak that can dominate a game.

Defensively I think we need to tackle our asses off and put a lot of pressure on our DB's to win one on one matchups and create some turnovers.

That is a funny read. Respect the logic of the 95% of the posters there.

They actually have a better fanbase than 60% of our's right here. Logic Is a mysterious thing for most but UG fans seem to have It.

UG fans SHOWED UP in South Bend. It was pretty disgusting to see in our stadium, but they won on more than just the field.

 

[Ndaccountant]

I honestly talked to a buddy last night for about 50 minutes or so and we went through all the matchups.

ND OL vs UGA DL - advantage UGA
ND DL vs UGA OL - advantage UGA
ND rushing game vs UGA front 7 - big advantage UGA
UGA rushing game vs ND front 7 - advantage UGA
ND WR/TE vs UGA DBs - advantage UGA
UGA WR/TE vs ND DBS - optimistic push
ND WR/TE vs UGA LBs - optimistic advantage ND
UGA WR/TE vs ND LBS - big advantage UGA

I just have the feeling our rushing game does diddly, and Book is going to be blitzed up the middle all game and will not be able to see the field because he will take off left or right limiting the field of coverage and the WRs will get little separation. Then come post game, it'll be all about Book not standing in the pocket and taking off too much. Rinse repeat.

FIFY

Bucket list game for them. First time Georgia had played north of the Mason-Dixon line - let alone at a place like Notre Dame - since the 50s or something. For us it was certainly a big game, but one of a couple every year.
I'm curious who's bidding up this ticket so high. Their fans? Or ours?

 

[koonja]

FWIW, I dont think Jamir Smith will play.

Yay.

Good points and good question. I wonder how much green we will actually see. I guess we’ll find out.

Have you ever seen their home football schedules? It's really quite lame since the Florida game is in Jax. They play the same generic home schedule every year....

2-3 crappy teams (this year Ark St, Murray state, last year Austin Peay, MTSU, UMASS), shit tastic SEC east games, but never florida, Auburn every other year and occasionally another good SEC West team (LSU, Bama, A&M), Georgia Tech every other year.

Rinse, repeat.

This is literally once in a 5 year type of home game for them.

BK said he's doubtful.

Keys is going to get a tunnel screen on Saturday.

Keys has seemingly gotten lost in the shuffle after last week’s breakout by McKinley but that kid has demonstrated some nice hands making catches in traffic that were thrown behind him or routes w/ a DB hanging on him.

 

[koonja]

Its now official on isd.

Interesting. I’m wondering if Lea employs a lot of pre-snap movement to keep the QB guessing & the OL antsy. I like their dime package but that requires the Irish D to force UGA offense into as many third & longs as possible.

I heard someone float the idea of bringing Alohi up to Rover and Hamilton taking his spot at Safety to sell out on the run early. I think JOK will be a great LB in time & love his aggressiveness but he’s still running himself out of plays and struggling to get off WR blocks. Cager is primarily used as a blocker and even their 5-star freshmen have done well in pass catching & blocking thus far. Let’s hope ND can rattle them under the bright lights.

 

[Irishize]

Wow. I like his pass catching ability out of the backfield, but you’re wasting a play imo by running TJJ between the tackles.

My wife made these fancy blue lagoons and they're pretty strong and I just realized Georgia and all of SEC nation is in for a surprise on Saturday.

I think we take the opening kickoff and score, the defense forces a punt after 2 first downs. We put another 3 on the board and the finger pointing starts.

ND has its biggest chip on its shoulder in years and there are too many great upperclassmen to let this go.

ND by 7. Fuck the police.

If ND wins, I will personally burn down the city.

It's a win. win.

The real question though koon....who is on your bod squad this year?

Sept 21 | Georgia

Koons drunken epiphany reminded me of


2000 Nebraska game weekend:


We got annihilated at the bars, and were walking through campus afterwards. A buddy of mine stopped, got on all fours, and started drinking out of the pond in front of Hesburgh.

He wasnt drinking it like a dog, but like a man who discovered the Fountain of Eternal Youth. Dude is straight drinking this disgusting water with this weird sense of gratitude.

He finishes, gets up, then starts walking across the pond with his arms raised like in the mural.


Tons of people were still milling about. Clearly enjoying the attention for being a dumbass, he starts yelling to everyone how the water is magic, and everyone needs to take a sip to ensure a victory. Sure enough, quite a few people did it, and a few even walked out into the pond also.

The scene turned into a mini-pep rally. People chanting, yelling, etc. It was a grand spectacle for a little bit before campus security shooed everyone away.

Id like to think the people who joined him were also stupid/drunk, but part of me thinks they were also so desperate to see a win, they thought what the hell, why not. Believe in something.

If we play Georgia 100 times, they win a very high percentage of those games, maybe all 100, who knows.

We only play them once though. What the hell, why not. Believe in something.......

No. Thats what ESPN GameDay wanted you to see and think. I was there and yes they had a good showing but It wasn't the reason we lost. The game was even. Officials were the outcome.

From Greg Flammang at UHND

The trajectory of the Smith injury as I recall is he was day to day, then held out as a precaution, to being doubtful Thursday of game week. I may be missing context, but I think there is reason to think Smith is out next week too and maybe more.
