Time Out.

In three consecutive weeks, ND was on a Saturday night prime time game. One was an instant classic. One was a nail biting, fun exciting game. One was a dud when the team looked spent.

Saturday night - USC at night in Prime Time. Four Prime Time Games in four weeks. Two on "ND's" network and two on ABC. College Game Day at ND for OSU Saturday. College Game Day at Duke for the ND game the following Saturday. Fox Sports Game Day in South Bend this week. That's 3 national pregame shows in four weeks with the Irish.

No one else in college football gets this treatment. That exposure can not be replicated.

The class will not fall apart. Kid's like to know they will be seen....ND will be seen on the national stage.

You don't think he is selling kids on ND being a CFP player in the future? You don't think that is part of the sale to Top 250 recruits?

Heck if he isn't, he should be terminated.......

If I'm a parent of a 2024/ 2025 offensive recruit, I have MAJOR concerns about sending my son to ND for football with this staff. We just watched ND get outcoached and outplayed 3 weeks in a row, 2 by inferior opponents.

Not if they need an extra player on the field. Great opportunity for players that can count heads on field very quickly.....

You were either watching the wrong team, or you are hallucinating. ND played and coached OSU dead even, and was the better team for all but 2 drives against Duke. I’ll give you Louisville. But seriously, this type of pearl clutching just needs to stop. Let the whole season play out — if 17 year olds can do it, so can you.

There's no pearl clutching and we can all trust our eyes. ND lost to OSU because of coaching, Duke completely outcoached ND and lost, and Louisville ran circles around ND. The team has regressed for weeks.

Notice I didn't say I would want my son to decommit or visit elsewhere, but serious concerns are warranted esp with Parker and Rudolph. I'll give Stuckey more room because he has two injured vets and a bunch of young pups.

It certainly was a massive opportunity blown - at the very least. ND will not be in such a position again for another couple years unless they find a Hartmann in next year's portal. It was a chance to stake a Top 10 / Top 5 Claim. We are back to fighting to stay in the Top 25. Its not pearl clutching - its failing.

With the offensive class fully signed, I feel comfortable saying on paper, this is the best offensive class across all positions of the internet era.

And it's weird because by ND standards, it's not exceptional at TE/OL on paper. Still love the recruits and their upside but those were traditionally the strongest rankings that drove our class upward. This class has such high-end pieces at every position, it's really unique.
