Sept 8 | Ball State

[IrishLax]

What do people want to see today? Here are my top 5 things:
1. I want to see the defense allow no drives over 50 yards in the first half. I think it's important that they show last week wasn't a flash in the pan.
2. I want to see Wimbush throw for 65% with a mix of short and deep throws.
3. I want to see the OL allow 3 pressures or less in the first half, and zero sacks.
4. I want to see 150+ yards rushing yards by halftime.
5. I want to see zero kickoff returns past the 25, all net punts over 45 yards, no missed field goals. For the love of God, give us a clean game on special teams.

Good list. I want to see consistency, Wimbush, OLine, and RBs. After they've demonstrated it, then start the substitution parade so many are calling for early. Wimbush and Co. need the work.

As for Special Teams, our guys are perfect, 100% on FG Attemped/Made.

Here's what I want to see ranked...

1. No injuries
2. BW throws for 200 yards and 65% in the first half, consistent long and short, leading deep throws, money short throws, less 50/50, very little running, and sitting by the start of the second half.
3. A shutout at half. Like LAX said, no flash in the pan, and our D starters playing sparingly in the second.
4. Up by at least 28 at half, our OL gelling, TEs used, WRs getting YAC, and then O starters rested in 2nd, so our young get valuable time in the 2nd half.
5. I'd like to see our special teams look not so special this week...
6. I'd like to see a PR of KR for an Irish TD
7. I'd like to see Book and PJ toss for at least 100 each and above 60%
8. While I don't really care about running up the score, let the 2nd and 3rd string guys play, not just run out time.

I wanna see the freshman WR’s get involved on offense I wanna see an entire 4th quarter with Phil at QB.

Clean game, no injuries, and above all else play like this game should be played. We should Best these guys easily dont allow them to all of us nervous like other inferior teams have done isn’t he past. Let’s focus, win, and get ready for next week.

 

[wizards8507]

No stupid shit in the 4th quarter that makes the score closer than it would have been. No garbage time 90 yard touchdown runs allowed.

What's the weather doing in South Bend?

But...what if we're REALLY far behind? Don't you want our team to try and win the game?

67 high, 10% chance of rain. dodged the wet bullet I think.

Our third and forth string should be able to best these guys.

I doubt I can predict the game as perfectly as last week, but here is my prediction:

Irish score fast and often to start but once again fail to keep the foot on the gas.

I feel we turn the ball over with a few fumbles and then pull away late to win decisively.

Irish 41
Ball State 17

That prediction last week was unreal. I kept checking and rechecking your post afterwards to see if it showed as edited. You couldn't have really improved on it any more.

Maybe a stupid question but doing it anyway. Dish and nbc. At least for my local area are fighting about contracts. So I dont have nbc today. Can I still watch the game on ESPN app.?

Search CFBstreams on reddit and find the game, there will be different links. Try one until you find 1 that works. They usually start streaming 5 mins before the game.
