Irish vs michigan game thread ...
- Thread starter IrishHerb
- Start date
Sadly they actually didn’t play very well in some respects ... and yet we were epically bad
I’m in til the end but it’s more disappointing than a leather tough steak dinner
Be prepared for the ND media/ND insiders to lambaste ian book and somehow excuse brian kelly of this shit show while ND is headed fast to another 8-4 season.
the ND establishment won't criticize brian kelly until he's gone .. and then they'll go overboard with it.
Who would those more talented back-ups be? If they have more talent than the current starters, they should be on the field. Those guys are the best ND has at those positions.
the entire team/program was terrible today and that falls squarely on the shoulders of the leadership.
phil with the worst spiral ever has done more in 3 drives than Book did in 3+ quarters.
Read earlier pages in the thread .. i'm on record saying that book was terrible. But so was the other 21 positions on the field.
lol at you not recognizing Mich wasn’t taking out their starters like ND did. Oh, they were still throwing the ball downfield too
but it would be laughable for the media to write stories about how bad he was? Weird.
Instead of the story being on where ND is as a program (which falls on the leadership of the program), the story will be all about Ian Book's play at the exclusion of all else.
Everything is ALWAYS fine at ND.
The talent is fine
The recruiting is fine
The offense is fine
The program is fine
the leadership is fine
ND is a top 10 program playing for championships
Ian Book will be the scapegoat.
Another dummy. Michigan fought mother nature as well. Just another poor Brian Kelly game plan. To lose is one thing. To get blown out by lesser teams is unacceptable.
It would have been a big win, idiot, because it would have moved ND up the rankings with Oklahoma's loss, and kept the Irish in the CFP conversation.
talent va ready to play are not the same... nd has upper class men that know game plan well but are playing really bad ... players that need more PT
Phil, Lenzy, keys, ademilola, franklin, Bauer, Simon, Wallace , hart, Hamilton, brown
Michigan and ND were very similarly rated teams coming into this game. ND had a bad game, but Michigan ranked down somewhere in the teens was the equivalent to Notre Dame.
32% completion percentage while missing multiple reads will do that to a QB at a prolific school.
I mean Jurkovic completed 3 of 4 passes and had almost as many passing yards/TDs. He also may be the only D1 QB that can’t throw a spiral.
Think about it

No one will say that.... book will just be one of the few obvious reasons ND is struggling .... Tram quit so that starts with Kelly then go to offensive and defensive game plans being horrendous for rain then you go to book, then you go To safeties and white and oline run game plan
Yes because your 2-3 hours of watching ND over the course of 2-3 months in the fall/winter is the equivalent to the access the coaching staff has who sees hundreds of reps every week nearly all year long.
Probably 2023 or 2024 .... no qbs ready for 21... Phil can’t throw a spiral and try frosh Buchner will be a true frosh
