something something Tommy Rees

He put a dagger in So Car (and the hater's hearts) with that last play call. I don't think Tommy called a bad game, I think Buchner had a number of easy missed throws and some bad picks and Tommy stilled called a 500 yd offensive output. Almost perfectly even at 280+ passing and 260+ running.

With Hartman, that's a 21+ pt victory.

Did we get an update on Jarrett Patterson and his injury?

Could have easily been 52-17, but way to battle.

Nice to see guys that get a lot of crap contribute big time for the win...

Buchner - obviously a lot said. He made a lot of plays. I wonder how he would look with a season under his belt.

Lenzy - Huge TD. Huge fake punt first down. Really happy to see him contribute in a big way.

Rees - OK, really bad play call on the pick 6, but he came back and called a really good rest of game. For a young play caller, he is awfully good.

Golden - The adjustments though. They were getting carved up, but then we started shutting them down. The opposite of the bowl debacle from last year. Gotta credit Al.

Marcus - Gotta give him credit too. Were down 14, and overcame huge negative play after huge negative play.

Would LOVE to see Hartman in an Irish uniform. He has to love that thought too. A QB room of Hartman, Buchner, Angeli, Minchey...would be really, really good.

Estime is a beast...our RB's next year...wow. Estime, Diggs, Price, Love...look out. Hope Price is back to full health. I know that injury is tough to come back from.

On first look, didn't love our O line play. Will have to watch film. It usually looks worse live. There are many factors that go into successful plays.

That being said...O line took over in the 2nd half.

Really nice to get a bowl win!!

Go Irish!!

So, based on Buchner's performance tonight, do his chances of being on top of the QB depth chart. Did it increase or decrease his chances?

That was the kind of team we were hoping to see. They kept running the ball right down their throat and broke their will. Only when they put 11 in the box did they stop the run and then we burned them. Beaten into submission.

The defense on the other hand has some work to do.
