Well, 1st Half isn't what I hoped but it's what I expected. This is where the coaches money is made.GET IT DONE!!

Yeah I’m sure there will be adjustments made on Offense.

 

[Dale]

Fisher benched for 2H?

 

[ulukinatme]

I’m done with Rees as oc. He’ll never be more than Mac level guy.

Better than Long. We're breaking in almost an entirely new offense with the exception of Kyren and Mayer basically, in a hostile environment in prime time. The first series was sublime, and then we got conservative. Chill.

 

[Riddickulous]

Really sloppy first half as many predicted but we're ahead. I'll take it. Need a better second half

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Foskey is a fucking animal

He looks like he is going to have an NFL decision to make

 

[notredomer23]

I just want one screen pass. One. Please?

Defense looks great and we are running a new defensive system.

 

[ulukinatme]

Coan's deep ball kinda sucks. Book without the mobility. What did we do to deserve this?

So many were ready to be done with Book. Gotta appreciate the winningest QB in ND history sometimes lol

 

[Irishman77]

That deep ball looked good, just a tad under thrown and good coverage. Would rather we take more shots like that than this dink-and-dunk play calling.

A tad…lol!

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Fisher benched for 2H?

It was Fisher getting called for the hold, wasn’t it?

 

[ACamp1900]

Frustrating half,… game should be comfortable

 

[Dale]

Carmody has the last 1-2 plays. Wasn’t very long but it’s how they ended

 

[T-Boone]

D line looks good to me except for finishing off - but it seems like we are playing with one linebacker (and a rover). We were so spoilt with JOK.

 

[Wild Bill]

Fisher benched for 2H?

Carmody was at LT in that last series.

 

[SBirishlawyer]

I thought Fisher was fine for his first start. The guards are a problem so far but did settle in some. I really had little to no problems with Reese’s play calling. The execution wasn’t there. There was one bad drop by our best player so take a little bad with all his good. The throws are tentative or under thrown but not wrong reads. Think he needs to trust his eyes and rip it. The qb sneak was a bad call but mostly because the motion of Mayer gave away the play and brought the extra hat back into the box.

 

[Henges24]

There was no world where Lenzy is the guilty party there lmaok

No one is the guilty party. It was a good play on D. Ball could have been deeper but it’s the speed of Lenzy on a 50 yard throw.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Carmody has the last 1-2 plays. Wasn’t very long but it’s how they ended

I was wondering if the penalty precipitated the change

 

[ulukinatme]

Sure, but they're also experienced players with a lot of combined snaps. They were also the strength of this team going back to last year and we're well coached by Lea. Jury is out on Quinn, we had problems last time we reloaded OL under him as they needed time to gel. He usually gets them going eventually though. We haven't seen our WRs be world beaters under Alexander either.

 

[GUknights75]

Coan's deep ball kinda sucks. Book without the mobility. What did we do to deserve this?

At least he hits the wide open guys I guess.

 

[Irishman77]

Amazing push by our DLine! Most plays FSU OL looked like they were wearing roller skates. Too many first man misses on getting home. Underwhelming linebacker play. Other than a couple missed assignments the DB’s looked good.

where the hell is Austin, Avery and Lenzy?

another year with a noodle arm

can someone please offer Rees a head coaching job somewhere!!!

 

[NDRock]

I just want one screen pass. One. Please?

I’d like some more play action.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Fisher benched for 2H?

He was helped off the field following the TD according to Twitter

 

[Irishbounty28]

Coan is completing 73% of his passes and has two TD passes with half of three bills passing. He is not the problem. Lol. Actually, without the bust on defense this game would look like it a as heading for a route.

Hope the rust is shaken off for the second half.

 

[ulukinatme]

Na man, Lenzy had his guy beat and had to slow down for the ball. Coan needs to let it fly sooner. Maybe some more time building chemistry and timing with receivers.

 

[Trait Expectations]

So...what do we see in the 2nd half fellas? More middle of the field attacks? More deep balls? Screen game? What do you call with the OL showing it can't hold the point of attack for more than 2-3 seconds?

 

[Riddickulous]

Funny to me that the media mentioned how underwhelming Foskey looked in scrimmages and he has 5 tackles, 2 TFL, and 2 sacks at halftime

 

[Dale]

I’d like some more play action.

This. My trusting side says Rees is setting it up but it should be a staple not just a setup for 2-3 time use

 

[SBirishlawyer]

Lets see if coan greatly improves with a little calming down after half. It is potentially a lot of nerves causing the hesitation

Yikes

I'm with this. Mayer dropped a ball that would've extended a drive. Rees made one dumb call with the QB sneek. An underthrow on a deep ball that would've extended the lead.

Defense needs to buckle down and not give up 80 yard run plays and this looks exceptionally better.
