Wisconsin Postgame

[Dale]

Fickell attributes another 2H collapse to ND mentally, emotionally handling it better, hinting at continuity versus heavy portal roster in contrast to Wisconsin

 

[KPENN]

IIRC our average margin of victory is like 28 points.

If my math is correct 29.5. Out scoring teams 481-156

I don’t think either Joey or Ethan got on the field did they. Joey will pick 6 on his first play at ND stadium.

Irish illustrated said 1 play for Joey I believe

Tengwall pointed it out. But i really hate having the te motion behind the guard and essentially work a combo with the guard. Just didn’t seem to hit

Not sure Prister could have been more dour about a 28 point win. The fixation on throwing downfield for the sake of throwing downfield is odd. If MF and O'Malley's kids didn't play flag football together, I think he would have gone Mutombo on the question in the press conference. Carr executed within the play exceptionally well. The drives that stalled out were not due to Greathouse or Gilbert not being explosive. They were due to getting behind the sticks, protection breakdowns, and the greatest punt of all time.

Take the (convincing) win and get better.

ND scored on 3 of 7 first half possessions. The 4 they did not:
1) Opening drive ruined by false start and sack-fumble
2) Backed up on own 1 from incredible Wiscy punt
3) Bad drive
4) End of half (didn't attempt to score)
ND scored TDs on 3 of 3 second half possessions - literally can't do better than that.

So take away the 1st drive jitters and an incredible punt pinning us on own 1 yard line and ND basically scored on 6 of 7 possessions.

Was I hearing the podcast correctly? Was he criticizing Traore’s play? If so, I’ve never been more convinced that either 1.) he doesn’t watch the game or 2.) he has zero idea what he’s watching.

Same. I thought BT had a solid game, particularly against the run.

The "Bad drive" was also undone by a sus holding call.

Not sure if mentioned but we moved up to #3 in the AP poll and those whores from ann arbor dropped out

There's another thread for neckbeards consumed by a program that we haven't played since before COVID.

 

[Valpodoc85]

With ND's history of getting bad calls...I have no idea how this wasn't called for targeting.

Helmet wasn't used as a weapon. Brow of the helmet was used and not the crown

Also throw in the hesitation to let your Heisman candidate QB throw on 2nd and 17 and run the ball instead. There was no reason to give up on that drive after the nullified completion they just made down the field.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Sometimes I’m reminded 2 of MF biggest influences are Tressel and Fickell. Lot of hand wringing after a 41-13 W.

 

[tirishman505]

The Kia fumble recovery, the no call on Adon, and what was the 3rd call?

The no call on Adon was less egregious than the no call on the Wisky player that earholed James earlier in the game,.
