Notre Dame @ NC game thread

I think Sark has done a good job so far. But a few more losses and the vultures will circle. This was a game they were favored to win. They really could have won this and the Alabama game, but they let it slip away.

I do not understand why everyone is hating on the defense today. I thought it was good as I still can not figure out how UNC ended with 32 points, felt like we played a lot better than that. The last long touchdown was just a young DB not understanding the situation. Even if your in zone, you don’t need to try and cover the short route when you know everyone is running deep. It’s something that will be easily coached in the next film review.

ND dominated. After the first UNC score, the Irish took control. I don’t completely blame the young DB on the last TD. He did mess up. No doubt. But why have the corner back run a blitz on 4th and 21 ? All they need to do is rush 2 or 3 and don’t let anything behind them. That’s on Golden.

Great road win! And it probably should've been 52-26, if not for a couple big plays at the end. But a win's a win.

Indeed. This game was all ND. On both sides of the ball....

 

[christophero]

Agreed. Despite the score it was a dominating win. We appear to be improving. Freeman just beat a National Champion coach on the road.

Two….Chizik won one at Auburn.

Happy they won. But the defense plays like jeckyl and Hyde. This game should have been over ten minutes before it ended. But the Irish find ways of giving teams life

There were two turnovers, one on downs in the third when Pyne got stopped on the sneak, and one in the fourth when Estime fumbled into the end zone. Those took off at least 10 points for us and resulted in 14 points for them.

I was very impressed with our performance. Defense had a few lapses, but Carolina has a good offense.

Easy 55-20 win. The refs got in there a bit at the end and the D had a lapse.

let’s keep it going.

Cam Hart isn't young

 

[sjb75]

ND had a 6'4" QB, but they chased him off.

Not missed.

 

[sjb75]

Pyne doesn't belong on the field. WRs can't create separation. OL is below average. Tyree is slow when he has to cut, his vision is terrible

Then the rest of the game was played.

 

[Patrirish]

Looking to be a long day.

WRONG !

 

[Patrirish]

2 passes batted down...maybe roll the short QB out?

14-0 after this next drive.

WRONG !

 

[Patrirish]

Dude holds the ball way too long. Let it go and trust. And…..our kicker sucks.

WRONG !

 

[sjb75]

Tommy Rees....has to go.

Need a QB

Need some skill talent

Attaboy.

 

[Patrirish]

Guess I'll just warn everyone, don't get upset today; we are simply not a good football team. Our skill position players are just not ghat good. I'm actually stunned watching this team that anyone thought we should be ranked. Hopefully the rebuild won't take more than this season

WRONG !

 

[Patrirish]

This team flat out sucks. Terrible. Grupe n o line embarrassment. Pyne has no biz dub 1. This is not a major coach issue. It’s a player issue.
that said, when are we ever going to teach how to defend a pass when you are running with your back to the QB?

WRONG !

[Patrirish]

Appalachian State put up 40 points in the 4th quarter against this defense. ND can't even score once in the first quarter.

It’s a 4 Quarter game !

 

[Patrirish]

Estime and Tyree need to get all the reps. Need to move the pocket. Pynes height and feel in the pocket are atrocious

WRONG !

 

[Patrirish]

And Tyree can’t break a tackle to save his life.

WRONG !

 

[Patrirish]

The more TR coaches him, the worse he gets!

WRONG !

 

[Patrirish]

Tommy Rees....has to go.

[Golson5]

Attaboy.

We played an awful D.

We still need Qb and WRs.

OL finally looked good for first time this year.

Looks exactly like last years team

 

[Patrirish]

Is tackling optional at N D.

WRONG !

 

[christophero]

I think you proved your point haha. We beat a mediocre team let's not get carried away. Still a good win.

 

[Patrirish]

We're turning into a legit team. Tides are a changing

Oh, so now the wind has changed, the tides have changed and now you’re jumping on the bandwagon.

You’re a fair weather fan at best !

WRONG! 😂

 

[Patrirish]

Oline being dominating...good to see. Execution on both sides of the ball has improved. Yes Heels is defense is terrible BUT they are all D1 players. ND is not doing this against a high school team.
I give the entire ND coaching staff a lot of credit in this game.

👍

 

[Patrirish]

Geez Bertand. Do you like getting ejected?

That was a terrible call, do you like getting it wrong ?

 

[Patrirish]

No heads involved in that hit! You need to look at it again.

👍

 

[Patrirish]

I guess Swarbrick, Rees and Freeman can keep their jobs for another week.

👍👍👍

There is no bandwagon. We have 2 losses. Im glad we looked like a legit team today though. This can be a turning point game

And I've always been a MF supporter and never wavered on that so your post doesnt make sense

It does to everyone but you !

People vent on a message board. Every board does it. This keeping score thing is silly.

First rodeo?

Dude, go drink some beer and enjoy your day.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

It was sarcasm.

Makes no sense
