Pride is so un-athletic at times it's mind boggling. How do you not make a play on the ball EVER? WTF.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

We are feeling the loss of our best player on offense tonight.

 

[iupjes2001]

I don't know how tranquil will grade out in terms of the NFL draft, but man can he play football.

 

[chaseball]

Tranquil is an animal .. reminds me of Seau ... dude needs to keep his head out of plays or he's going to end up brain dead

 

[VTND]

Troy pride is bad

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Stop the damn deep ball!!

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Where the f is Dex????

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Total bullshit. Not one running play.

 

[Zizer]

I agree. Play offense like you did Stanford. I am sick of seeing the deep ball already.

 

[VTND]

I’m not sure if Book is missing throws or are receivers are running crappy routes?

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

This is why teams come back.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Book can’t hit anything downfield.....even when there isn’t a defender within 40 yards.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Abandon the run. Go three and out and now VT can come back. Classic.

 

[NDIRISH53]

Troy Pride is getting picked on like a fat kid with braces. I thought he’d be really good too.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

He’s awful for anything over 15 yards.

Running is overrated.lols

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Wimbush is awful for anything under 15 yards.

 

[rgc7]

We are putting too much pressure on our defense. Three and out ! Our offense is just not good enough.
Big plays are great, but ball control is also a must !

Yep.. that's some stupid ass play calling right there. Unbelievable.

Claypool cut upfield while Book threw it on what he was initially running

Classic Kelly

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Literally not a single run on the last drive!?! Wtf! Someone tell me why!

 

[HDK]

Well, much like the Stanford game last week, this is still a game entering the fourth quarter. Let's see if our defense can get another stop and if our offense can start to milk the clock and add some insurance points.

Schematic advantage.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

VT ain’t going anywhere unless someone else calls the offense for ND.

 

[NotreDomer1]

Dex went from unwilling to block to the only one willing to block. Strange

 

[Zizer]

Book's timing is way off on the deep ball. In time that will come, but stop wasting a down. Way too greedy. Dink and dunk and run the clock.

 

[lyonhawk]

That’s what I thought too. Looked like Book three an out and Claypool cut upfield.

 

[tkirish]

This is where we separate the men from the boys. This game is far from over . ND has to keep them out of the end zone.

 

[Yooper Irishfan]

BK can’t help himself. He just loves to chuck it.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

This game is looking to be one of those October down to the wire cringers.

They tend to call what they think has the best chance of working. Had Claypool turned out for that pass, we might have another TD.

 

[HDK]

Enjoy seeing Kelly give that dolt Polian a piece of his mind.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

They kick field goals from anywhere on the field. That’s not good if it comes donwn to the wire.

 

[VTND]

Nice Polian. Cost us a timeout we may very well need

Running the ball is the best chance to get a first down.

Maybe a pink slip would be better.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

I hate Polian. He is worthless.

why kick FG anyway.. to be down 12? Just go for it or punt. I don't get the FG call. Kid has the leg though that's for sure.

 

[Yooper Irishfan]

Big play upcoming here. I don’t think they will kick a fg.
