USC Postgame

[Rockin’Irish]

I wonder what that dude did to get Rylie that ramped up.

 

[mango4]

Watts running that last pick back and talking shit to SCs sideline all the way was beautiful!

 

[Giddyup]

Battle

 

[Rockin’Irish]

I’d wager that the receiving corps that ND faced against USC today is likely better overall than what they’ll see in the CFP.

 

[rikkitikki08]

I’m just so fuckin happy ND is going to host a playoff game, the greatest thing that happened to this team was week 2. Freeman has done an incredible job motivating these guys the last 10 weeks, Incredibly proud to be an Irish fan!!!! I’m fucking jacked up

 

[T-Boone]

Mills is just holding up the tradition of the 99 jersey.

 

[johnnycando]

Great dub. Lots of work and emotions ahead. Always better to be on the inside than the outside.

Go Irish.

Gotta think cross and hopefully Love and KVA are going to be good to go with 3 weeks to get healthy right?

I saw a tweet that said KVA had a beefy knee brace on.

Probably tried to injure him.

Yes. Love did not seem that badly hurt. Cross was listed on TV as a starter but never came in so maybe a late scratch? KVA you sure hope (our pass rush missed him today).

 

[PigtownIrish]

Probably tried to injure him.

I saw a remark that the guy was trying to twist his knee.

 

[MacIrish75]

Probably tried to injure him.

As a lineman, if you go for my knees or try and take a cheap shot on me when the play has been decided, all bets are off and I’ll back the guy defending himself every damn time.

That said, punching a helmet is definitely one way to go about it. Maybe not the most effective way. But a way.

 

[FOTY977]

So right before the playoffs kick we had an ugly win.
I'll take it.
Going to have to win ugly at least once to win it all.
I'd rather to be tested now.

If covering the spread and hanging nearly 50 is what we’re calling ugly these days sign me up!

 

[Bluto]

The Mills does not give a f!*k!

Probably tried to injure him.

Guy was yanking on his leg.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Great dub. Lots of work and emotions ahead. Always better to be on the inside than the outside.

Go Irish.

Welcome fucking back you old time mother fucker.

 

[LifelongFan]

This game was really good for us.

Going against a good passing attack and seeing where we need to get better was very valuable.

Having the offense carry us was huge. Great game by the O. Riley has improved a ton! A lot of credit to him and to Denbrock.

Great job by the unsung heroes. Joe Rudolph, Anthonie Knapp, Billy Schrauth, Pat Coogan, Rocco Spindler, and Amil Wagner. Let alone the blocking by Mitchell Evans, Eli Rairdon, and Cooper Flanigan!

Wagner especially. Stone wall the whole game.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

We just played a sloppy game, played from coast to coast in less than a week and still won by 3 scores (last one was bullshit and doesn’t count)
Fuck, this is a good ass team.

 

[greyhammer90]

Fuckin metal

 

[pumpdog20]

I'm going to destroy my liver tonight and hope I'm recovered by 12/20.
Go Irish!

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I believe ND just finished with its highest ypc in 20 plus years
With this freaking line....
Joe Rudolph is working. Pay him

This line will be even better next year hopefully they can convince Price to stick around

 

[Pete]

It was so good to see X get that pick six. For all his interceptions I am pretty certain that was his first pick 6. I've got to put him at number 1 for our best DB over the last 10 years. I'd go: Watts, Love, Hamilton, Morrison, Gilman top 5.

Didn’t he get one or two TDs against SC last year?

 

[arndtjc]

No notes.

See you on campus in three weeks

 

[rikkitikki08]

Can’t wait to be in the 100 dollar seats half drunk freezing my ass off.

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

Brice just said ND outscored the opposition 125-8 in the middle 8 this year.

damn!

1. Watching all of the upsets today, it's crazy how this team rebounded from the NIU loss to win ten straight. Most of them in very convincing fashion.

2. Today was the first day where you could feel the absence of BenMo.

3. Love was having maybe the best game I have ever seen from an ND RB in terms of "WOW" plays before he got hurt. Prayers up it's nothing serious because he's a game changer.

4. Credit Christian Gray who got left on an island all game and thrown at repeatedly for battling back and making a game clinching play with an insane one-handed interception and 90+ yard return.

5. We still don't have a real passing game and that's eventually going to cost us in the playoffs. We can't always be ahead of the sticks. The difference between how USC is able to attack vertically in their passing game and what we do is just alarming.

6. I never want to see us kick a field goal ever again.

Watching all the upsets… hopefully not one too many like 2012 and we get osu or some shit in the first round

 

[INLaw]

That’s the entire game in one tweet

 

[Free Manera]

I feel like that’s happening. They won’t match the B10 runner up with OSU. I personally welcome it. Let’s exorcise some demons.
