Temple Post Game

[Irish Man3]

Sloppy but I'll take the W

 

[Irish Man3]

Kizer is so poised.

CJ was taken out of the game.

Defense is just not good outside of the defensive line. Rochelle and Day have been amazing.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Survive and advance.

 

[Irish YJ]

All I can say is it was a win and the refs sucked ballz.

Good night boys.

 

[irishff1014]

Got the W other then that nothing much to see.

 

[nd_fan]

We won but no way is this a top ten caliber team.

 

[DCirishfan]

Poor preparation against a lessor opponent.

 

[Rizzophil]

I'm surprised Will Fuller didn't have a bigger game. They played good run defense all game.

So glad to get the win

 

[phillyirish]

Brace yourselves fellas, the biggest highlight from this game is gonna be the Bk barking at grimes; gonna be replayed a lot this week.

^Damn we have the worst fans.

Yep no way.

 

[ACamp1900]

Poor preparation against a lessor opponent.

Poor red zone execution IMO... Get even two field goals there and it's prob a different game...

 

[Riddickulous]

If we could finish drives, this would've been a comfortable 10+ point win. Oh well. I'll take the W.

 

[Guest]

Nice come from behind victory, but I think we should have beat them by at least 10-14 points. Too many turnovers in first half.

Kizer is developing nicely as a QB. He made one really bad mistake, but recovered to take his team to the win. The running game overall outside of Kizer was very average today, and that falls on the Oline.

I don't think the defense is going to be good enough this year, even though the offense is. Not enough consistent pass rush and the back 7 are average.

BS call on the ejection, and a couple of other questionable penalties by the refs.

 

[aubeirish]

One of those nights... Credit to Temple. They played a heck of a game. We found a way to win. 7-1. Bring Pitt next.

 

[Irishcop]

Anyone know what the Temple coach was saying to the ND player right after we scored? The ref walked him off the field. And I'm sorry for talking s*** about our db's. Just drunk on apple pie.

 

[ickythump1225]

A W is a W no matter what so I'll take it. It wasn't super impressive. Really forgettable all around. I hope the CFP committee just ignores this game.

 

[Senoj13]

My thoughts:

1. Outside of the last INT, #6 looked like he never played a college game before.

2. Offensive line had troubles all night against a weak team.

3. Where was Will Fuller??????????

4. Chris Brown has become a very dependable receiver.

5. Great block by #13 on the first TD.'

6. I live in PA and know the recruits that Temple gets. If the ND OL gets dominated by this crew, there is no chance against a top 4 team. Temple gets what is barely left of D-I talent.

 

[BabyIrish]

We have the talent we need to make the playoffs, we just shoot ourselves in the foot way too much. When we didn't in 2012, we went undefeated, when have every other year, we lose, plain and simple

You better hope they don't ignore it.. Right now this and USC are your best wins..

 

[Cogs]

Another 450+ yard performance by the offense but barely scoring 24. A win is a win but if we want to beat the big teams we need to execute in the red zone.

Also, Clutch Kizer. Enough said

 

[NDBoiler]

I'm happy for the win.

I'd also like to see BK figure out a better scheme to get CJ the ball outside of the read option. The guy is having a huge year, yet I feel like we don't know how to use him if the read option isn't working.

Dline played great.

 

[mick2]

holy cow, my heart ain't made for these.

what a dart by kizer to fuller was worried it was gonna get picked by safety.

russell coming up again with an amazing pick.

this team never gives up. I just wish they flipped the switch earlier!!

 

[phork]

We won but no way is this a top ten caliber team.

We keep winning... I am not afraid of any team in the country.

I'm surprised Will Fuller didn't have a bigger game. They played good run defense all game.

So glad to get the win

The rolled a safety to his side all night, IE Double Covered.

Yep no way.

Bleh.

My only complaint is the RZ again. We just dropped 450 yards on the 8th best defence in the country stop complaining.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I just wish our guys would play with the same chip on their shoulder that every one who plays is on the road tends to play with

 

[IrishYYC]

Tough road win against a very good Temple team.

It's tough to win in CFB especially on the road. Stanford is a 10 point favorite against WSU and they are down by 6 right now late in the 2nd quarter.

Big time players come up with big time plays. Kizer is so poised and clutch for a young QB and each game he gets better and better.

Props to KVR for another amazing Int.

Sucks Shumate has to sit out the first half next week but the whole team has to play much better against Pitt and not turn the ball over especially in the red zone. They always play us tough so we'll see.

7-1 Go Irish!

 

[Irish Man3]

No way we're not a top 10 team?

We have one loss and that's to an undefeated Clemson team in a hurricane on the road.

We're essentially on our third string QB and RB coming out of spring.

We just beat an undefeated team on the road that was playing in the most important game in their HISTORY.

Bama lost to a bad Ole Miss team.

Stanford lost to a bad Northwestern team and they're currently losing to WSU.

We have the best loss of the one loss teams.

I'm not sure what's more depressing honestly, coming on this site after a loss or a win. You know how many teams show up and play their best game 13 times a year? Zero.

We didn't show up unprepared or not focused. Kizer made some costly mistakes against a really good defense.

Why not enjoy a win? I completely understand that's it's a board for expressing opinions and views but I honestly question how much football some of you watch and understand lol. Every single team in the country has games like this. Therefore, we are absolutely deserving of a top 10 ranking..... in my very humble and drunken opinion.

[stlnd01]

You know, maybe Temple doesn't suck. We just came from behind late to beat an undefeated team on the road when we had a few breaks go against us. Enjoy it. A lot of teams don't win that game.

No chance against a top 4 team?

We lost to Clemson on the road, prime time, in a hurricane by two points...

We play up and down to our opponents, period.
