Game Thread ND vs FSU

[Fifthhorseman25]

UP by 18 with just some of the dumbest play calling by FSu. Crowd is out of it. FSU is out of it. Then we go into whatever the hell that defense is called and now only up by 3.

ND staff has no guts.

 

[coolirish9]

so we could lose this game because of this 3 man front now that is killing us

 

[HDK]

I thought the defensive scheme was fine early on. We just failed to wrap up on a number of plays. But since we went up 38-20 it has been a real head scratcher.

 

[graceh90]

Bad tackling. Not necessarily bad scheme.

 

[NDIRISH53]

Sickening

 

[Patrirish]

THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE BALL

1st and 5 and you can’t get a first down on a critical series !

Just terrible !

 

[Kontiki09]

Ok so we are just giving up I guess. Cool.

 

[GDFan]

Defensive game plan was ok and then we get up and called the dogs off. Stupid move

 

[Gravester]

Kelly has no killer instinct

 

[TOMMY_23]

Clowns coach ND. Kelly still does the same crap he did in 2010, 2011, 2015, etc. Does the guy ever learn?

 

[Uncle Money]

Unbelievable to let them back in the game like this. More like inexcusable for the money Freeman got. 3 man rush…yep, the man is the second coming. SMH.

 

[ftnfan62]

Had Austin wide open. Missed him.

Sounds familiar. Actually it’s what Kelly does all the time.

WRONG ! SUBSTITUTE BRAINS !

 

[Bogie8870]

when.. under Kelly..have they EVER had a killer, put the foot in the gas instinct??

 

[Scots-Irishballa]

Here comes tate forcier all over again

 

[VTND]

Turnover please.

 

[Harpo Marxist]

Yeah... 21/26 4 TDs. We're in big trouble.

Yeah...when he "has to throw the ball"....not a good thing. He is effective when there are options...the opposite is also true.

 

[DieHard_Irish]

We can cry all we want about the officials but our D stinks, and our oline is terrible. Gonna be a long year

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Well lets see what great defense plan Freeman comes up with this time. Maybe he won't put any players out there just to confuse FSU.

Game should have been over start of the 4th. But not ND.

Don’t need killers. Need tacklers

 

[Uncle Money]

Kelly is going to be ND’s all-time winningest coach…let that sink in for a minute. Can’t win ANY major bowl of substance but he’ll be in the record books. So sad.

 

[NDgreatestofalltime!]

I’m thinking Luke Fickell was the brains behind the ND defense.

 

[ZVZ]

Same D

 

[Scots-Irishballa]

Lets talk about thenleft tackle who looks like he isnt ready for Saturday.

 

[TheSodFather]

There is no adjustment?

 

[Patrirish]

3 man D line ? ? ?

I’m dumbfounded !

 

[ZVZ]

Going down

 

[Scots-Irishballa]

If were gonna be 3-3 stack squad our squad is ****ed

 

[TheSodFather]

Freeman is being owned right now

 

[ZVZ]

Sodumb

 

[lyonhawk]

Who thought Freeman would cost us the game?

 

[Patrirish]

DISGRACEFUL !

 

[IrishLaker]

Absolutely incapable of tackling. How much are we paying Freeman? Cut it by 1/3 since he can’t seem to close out third downs.

 

[wiu86]

Don’t comment much but this defensive unit/scheme/coach stinks.

 

[VTND]

Why not return that? Jesus.

 

[NDinNJ]

Clowns coach ND. Kelly still does the same crap he did in 2010, 2011, 2015, etc. Does the guy ever learn?

We have to wait for Kelly 4.0.

 

[graceh90]

I have not seen Freeman miss a tackle

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

PATHETIC....once again.

Game gifted to ND. 18 point lead. Starting QB out of the game. Backup who hasn't played in live action in what 3 years? Yep only the brain trust at ND could screw this up. Way to go BK, TR, and MF....and yes the players take alot of the blame also.

 

[NDinNJ]

Is anyone surprised by this? I’m not, we’ve seen this same song and dance for the past 12 years.
