***ND v. Stanford GAME THREAD***

[brian822]

they're done. at least they lost now instead of embarrassing themselves vs a real football team

 

[HDK]

Wow, 13 minutes gone and our offense has not run a single play.

Our defense is shaky enough as it is. I hate to think what it will be like in the fourth quarter.

 

[TurnoverMachine]

please someone in the NFL take this loser ND coach off our hands!!!!!

 

[ncthomas31]

The whole secondary is awful

 

[wiu86]

Our #36 cannot cover. Have we run a play yet?

 

[brian822]

stanford will have 40 points by then

 

[cathill]

The defense coordinator is clueless.

 

[Irish Assassin]

How is it Kelly's fault Luke cannot make a place on the ball?

 

[Yooper Irishfan]

Will we force a punt tonight?

 

[LH24ND]

I have now turned it off. How sad to have to do that but I just hate bad defensive football teams and this one is poor to bad.

 

[ncthomas31]

Offense looks good so far

 

[TurnoverMachine]

What a joke.

No heart from ND.

 

[rivals50]

good looking offensive drive so fare. No mistakes in the red zone today please. Hopefully Vangorder is making some adjustments on the sidelines.... (real adjustments besides just blitzing on very play)

can you imagine what alabama or oklahoma would do to this team. it would be worse then 2012

 

[Irishtennis]

I totally agree with you assassin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[deadirishpoet]

I doubt that. This offense is far better than 2012. I'm not saying the Irish would win but the offense will do far better

 

[ndhell]

Shitty defence, and the worst Red Zone Offence.

 

[rivals50]

can you imagine what alabama or oklahoma would do to this team. it would be worse then 2012

maybe Alabama but I think we would be more than competitive against Oklahoma.

 

[TurnoverMachine]

I'm really shocked that ND kicked a FG on their first possession. What a joke.

 

[HDK]

While it is inexcusable to have a false start on a fourth and one inside the 10, I couldn't see the movement that caused the penalty.

Don't want to settle for field goals tonight.

 

[rivals50]

unfortunate on offense .. Kizer had a wide open guy for TD instead he decided to tuck and run

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Red zone..ppppppfffffffffttttttttttt........

 

[mmboys07]

So far tendencies holding true. ND defense can't get off the field. Offense goes the length of the field and has to settle for field goal after a sloppy penalty.

 

[FLballcoach1]

False start saved 3 points. The zone read pull was going nowhere. Just got to hang around and make a defensive play on 3rd down.

 

[bostonirish84]

This d better have a turn around like they did vs Clemson. awful so far.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Thankfully we had the penalty because DK was not going to go anywhere on that run. Go under center and fall forward. Your QB is 6-4!!!!!!!

 

[TurnoverMachine]

The run by Kizer would've been a TD if Zaire was QB.

 

[theskibro]

While it is inexcusable to have a false start on a fourth and one inside the 10, I couldn't see the movement.

Kelly calls worst plays in red zone. Predictable 3 Pat's. What a poor excuse for an offensive "genius"

 

[bostonirish84]

agree that 4th down play was stopped.

 

[rivals50]

I think we will get enough points from the offense to win (close to 30) but we probably won't get enough stops on defensive side of the ball. As many talented guys we have on defense someone has to stand up and be counted.

 

[deadirishpoet]

The defense has adjusted well during the season

 

[ndhell]

Need to force a Stanford turnover.

 

[Maplerock]

Brian, you are a ball of sunshine!

 

[theskibro]

Amazed we cannot stop mccaffrey. What has uncle Rico been doing the past week? Joke. Our D sux

 

[rivals50]

agree that 4th down play was stopped.

Yes that was a blessing at least we got 3 points because of plenty.

 

[TurnoverMachine]

ND can get a big time coach with the QBs coming back. This team never has any fire under the current idiot.

 

[Zorich 88]

Wow

 

[KJ23]

Red zone o still bad. D will be gassed by early 3rd Qtr if they don't get off the field.

 

[Maplerock]

I have now turned it off. How sad to have to do that but I just hate bad defensive football teams and this one is poor to bad.

Turn off the forum too... fair weather fan.

 

[rivals50]

This upcoming drive from Stanford will be telling. They have had a feel for the game now and feel of stanford tendencies in real time. Let's see if we have made some adjustments on D.
