Game Thread ND vs FSU

[Fifthhorseman25]

Nice to see that our read no option play is still around. RB's are dancing behind the line. Put a TE in front of them and run up the middle.

 

[Get Nasty]

Not really sure how you do something that works onO and D early and completely change despite the other team….. fsu loading box, throw it…Nd D is playing some bad players early

 

[ftnfan62]

Let’s Go offense

 

[hoopsstar12]

We need to play Buchner. We need versatility and the element of surprise on offense. I am not blaming Coan I am blaming Rees.

 

[ftnfan62]

need a first down. It’s been awhile

 

[Harpo Marxist]

Why is Kelly so afraid of the passing game? Probably because it requires a receiver.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Austin! Finally! Welcome back!

 

[Patrirish]

You have to RUN the ball !

Down their throat !

 

[rgc7]

Hope we get something going , where the heck is our power running game .

 

[ftnfan62]

Ok. The line is not very good.

 

[VTND]

Coan sucks

 

[ZVZ]

Dumb

 

[GDFan]

Horrible call

 

[ftnfan62]

Ok. This is not book. What are your taking his arm away

 

[GDFan]

Rees is a joke. You call a QB run on 3rd and 5. What a joke

 

[Patrirish]

Horrible call

Agreed

 

[VTND]

Play calling is awful

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Rees might e been better than Coan.

 

[Harpo Marxist]

Does ND have a back up offensive coordinator?

 

[WhySeperateKnob]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the zone-read option only effective if the defense respects the QB as a runner?....

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

That call didn't make any sense. No one there to block #5.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Why is Kelly so afraid of the passing game?

No confidence in Coan clearly. That’s an issue.

 

[Java65]

Tommy Reese is in over his head

 

[NDinNJ]

This is what happens when you hand the keys of the offense to a kid barely out of diapers. That 3rd and 5 play call was atrocious.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Ok. The line is not very good.

Yep. Line is awful. If the RB"s didn't have speed we might negative yards rushing.

 

[mbd11]

We’re in a dogfight here. Defense needs to tighten up.

 

[kev2225]

Why can't we recruit a talented QB?

 

[rgc7]

so far we are playing a terrible game, and I am not very impressed with the play calling !

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Tommy Reese is in over his head

Agree. We need a REAL OC. The TR experiment is not going anywhere.

 

[Harpo Marxist]

It appears that the Noles have figured out the ND defense and offense. They seem to know what play ND is running....on the flip side....ND's defense seems to be losing tight, disciplined coverage...getting sloppy. Half time can't come soon enough...

 

[HDK]

The problem is our offensive line is not that good.

 

[DieHard_Irish]

Disappointed in the run blocking for sure

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the zone-read option only effective if the defense respects the QB as a runner?....

Yes and for years now we run the no option option. The defense knows the QB is not keeping it and can just go after the RB. Plus the RB's have to wait instead of hitting the hole going full speed. Play makes no sense at all.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Hamilton!

 

[WhySeperateKnob]

Agree. We need a REAL OC. The TR experiment is not going anywhere.

What?....After that exhaustive national search of the cubicles in the football office?.....

 

[ftnfan62]

He is hard to bring down

 

[Gravester]

Can we PLEASE have some creativity on offense?

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

That took guts. Way to go Coan and Wilkins!

 

[Patrirish]

Don’t understand the inability to run the ball successfully !

Especially with two (2) great running backs

 

[ftnfan62]

Wow. Give Coan props.
