Sept 6 | Wisconsin

Hey, forty point wins are boring. One point wins build character.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Boise is better than Wiaconsin, IMO.

And we know this how? Overindexing on last season is never safe in college football but especially in the NIL era there’s just no way know how good a team will be.

 

[MTLIrish]

Well good news is the way CJ is playing he won’t go to the NFL…. But a serious question, for as much as I like MG…. What is not being ready for week1 / start of season

I actually thought Boise was a fringe top 25 team heading into this season based on their roster.

 

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

I wasn't expecting this gentlemen. Very disappointing.

I had the evil thought this morning of what will I do if we lose, and I literally did not have an answer because it was so unthinkable to anything but gameday jitters me.

 

[Pete]

This revenge tour is off to a stellar start

 

[Riddickulous]

Let it rip with Carr. Felt like he was starting to heat up a bit on the downfield throws.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Join a conference wouldn’t solve that. LSU played Clemson yesterday. And Texas plays OSU next week.

Those are the extreme outliers, the vast majority of conference teams played scrubs. And none of those games are anywhere as meaningful as this is to us because those teams all have chances to dig out of early season holes that we don’t have.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Denbrock is a fucking pussy

In his defense, they tried getting aggressive there, and it nearly blew up in their face, because the OL is a cluster fuck.

 

[SportsingHard]

Denbrock needs to keep Wisconsin honest.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

CJ is an intermediate and down field thrower. Let him cook.

 

[NDPhilly]

Power rated effectively on top of each other

 

[NorthDakota]

We need to join a conference. Just way too random to need to play legit programs without a tune up game or two.

Clemson was in Baton Rouge last night.

Yeesh

 

[irishff1014]

I didn't think we would have a chance at losing this game. It is a very real possbility.

 

[Rocketman84]

Definitely will not be forgetting JLove and Price any time soon

Somebody said that dumb shit and he got praise....but I'm sure he never wore a chinstrap in his life.

 

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

Williams does not have the makings of a starting running back at ND. I'm sorry but not everyone gets to be one

None of the top 3 do. The freshmen better figure out pass protection because we might need them before they are ready

 

[MacIrish75]

Can we lobby just to play our opening game on Saturday like everyone else instead of opening in primetime every damn year?

 

[Rocketman84]

Friends. Freeman is horrible in September

I speak the truth and nobody wants to hear it....11-6 in September is UNACCEPTABLE at ND

 

[notredomer23]

Switched out the green Bonzie Colson jersey for a Blue David Bruton jersey. Let’s turn this around boys

 

[NotKoon]

Pretty good point by Chris Simms about Fickell having an intimate knowledge of Denbrock’s offense and tendencies

 

[RocketIsmail25]

Defense has bent but not broke. They haven't been great, but credit to Wiscy for some nice play calls/designs. They're mixing things up and keeping us from really pinning our ears back. Not perfect, but I'm not overly concerned in the grand scheme of things.

SIIIGGGGHHHH

The offense, on the other hand? Yeah, concerns. Firstly, the OL looks mediocre at best against a...not great...Wiscy DL. They aren't opening any lanes in the run game and aren't keeping C.J. clean.

Secondly, the RBs look absolutely terrible. No, the OL isn't giving them much to work with but that doesn't mean you run ahead full steam into a mass of humanity. 16 runs, 29 yards, long of 5. FIVE, in SIXTEEN runs. That is embarrassing. Note to Denbrock - STOP CALLING RUNS UP THE GUT.

Thirdly, the new WRs? Where are they?

Fourth, horrible half by Denbrock. Terrible.

At this point, just get through this without anymore injuries and hope this is just another early season wet fart and there is better play ahead.

And for some reason Freeman can't have this team ready in September. Play fucking Rice game one.

 

[calvegas04]

Leaving a lot of doubt

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

I might have to break out my lucky underwear.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

We’re up 3 and get the ball. Things are going to be ok.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

To throw the ball downfield, you need an offensive line capable of keeping a clean pocket for a few seconds

 

[IRISHbluehen]

We went from title contender to a 4 and 8 team in a mediocre half of football, I love you guys

 

[irishff1014]

Pretty good point by Chris Simms about Fickell having an intimate knowledge of Denbrock’s offense and tendencies

But he worked with Fickell. He knows his defensive mindset. Man up

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

And for some reason Freeman can't have this team ready in September. Play fucking Rice game one.

They lost to NIU and Marshall in September. I'm not sure Rice is the auto you think it is.
