Sept 27 | Arkansas

[BigOunce]

Trojans are still soft

fUSC, but them being undefeated coming to South Bend is better for us, right?

Good game Irish. Time to get ready to see if Joey Freshwater can take down Lyin’ Brian Kelly in a few minutes.

I want BK in the playoff!!

 

[IrishLax]

I watched that SEC docuseries on Netflix and developed a bit of a soft spot for Pittman and Arky. Woof. Sorry, Sam, but this is the end of the road.

I legit like Pittman. He's in a bad spot, they have no NIL money and too many holes on the roster. I think he will do well at the lower levels if given another chance.

 

[Riddickulous]

Back to back 6TD games by Love & Price

Believe they're up to 16 total over the last 3 games lmao

 

[MacIrish75]

Dave and Dusty exhausting the notes page EARLY.

+ Sorority buffet
+ Senior bricks

We’re 3:00 away from Dusty’s OU game film.

Just want to point out that the Illinois defense that got destroyed by IU last week has held Southern Cal to 10 midway through the 3rd.

Bobby Bones, Jerruh, and Walton’s gonna have to up the ante.

 

[Rudy89]

D playing better today.

Next week will be more of a test to see if the D has turned the corner or if we just feasted on a cupcakes this week.

Gotta think worst case scenario he's made a few bucks there and maybe he's got a decent buyout

I know people will know write this off as "just Arkansas" (despite all week hearing about how good they were), but the defensive performance is the biggest take away. I get the QB is inaccurate, but guess what? Reed on at TAMU couldn't hit water from a boat either and we still let him torch us, so I'll take it.

Weren’t they out 3 or 4 starters last week? Are those guys back? The safety play last week in particular was appalling/those guys didn’t even look like D1 athletes.

Don't care. SC can lose every game now until the end of time. I hate those bastards.

I'll give them the credit that they've at least held a good offense in semi check..I don't think Arkansas played very well but still was able to get a few stops

 

[sfk324]

This ND defense's best attribute to this point is the offense. Other teams are under a ton of pressure to put the ball in the end zone every drive. It's hard to play that way for 60 minutes unless you're a really good team.

I mean, will it? Jeanty ain't walking through that door and their QB is very spotty. If we don't beat Boise by 24+ it will be a let down.

 

[Huntr]

Is this good?

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

I still don’t get the cushion that we give to receivers

For real, they got pummeled by USF. Boise isn't good this year.

It's a down week, but he'll improve.

 

[Irishnuke]

Who are these coaches that think of Ash as a great defensive mind?

Well, Sam Pittman, for one.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Fundamentals look better.

 

[dang227]

Tighter coverage today has been nice. Guys aren’t completely wide open. A positive step forward

 

[rtrn2glory]

Gray must be feeling better. He looks like he's tackling better

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

Will ABC cameramen fall for EVERY fake?

 

[ndfanatic78]

I think the DBs have improved. I do not see much improvement from the DL. Maybe Rubio and Bottelo a little

 

[SportsingHard]

For the morbidly curious who missed the gruesome injury.

 

[MacIrish75]

Live look at Pasch and Dusty:

 

[sfk324]

Four down territory so watch them convert from 3rd and 29.

 

[Meatloaf]

As much grief as I give Ass the D does seem to be improving
