YesAnyone else wonder if the leaning on Jim Tressel has promoted an overly buttoned up approach to the way ND plays football?
Louisville and Clemson both have very good defenses. Louisville shut out Duke and held VTech to 3 pts last night. And Clemson's defense is ranked 6th in the nation in total yards. So the toughness of the opponent was a factor in those games, too.I need to rewatch multiple games. I will say however that the HC signs off on schemes. Just like the defense, our offense has been too multiple without a base IMO.
ND was doing a lot of good things on offense earlier in the year and then USC and Pitt had a lot of turnovers from ND’s opponent. So less yards though ND ended up with 48 and 58 points.
Vs Clemson there was a muffed punt. And then 3 FG’s. To simply scapegoat Parker is wrong I feel. Lets see what happens the final 3 games and evaluate why the offense didn’t score more against Louisville and Clemson. That’s what Freeman’s mindset should be. He’s to blame for the offense as much as Parker IMO.

You didn't mention Pittsburgh 38 Louisville 21.Louisville and Clemson both have very good defenses. Louisville shut out Duke and held VTech to 3 pts last night. And Clemson's defense is ranked 6th in the nation in total yards. So the toughness of the opponent was a factor in those games, too.
Hartman didn't play very well yesterday either, outside of his running.Clemson D better than Louisville. But they were missing 4 guys. ND offense has become a throw to the TE offense the last two years. The biggest crime the ND staff made IMO was not aggressively pursuing a legit WR. The guy from VaTech? Even if he was healthy he was trending to the second string right out of the gates. In a pro style offense You need a problem at TE. A problem in the slot and a problem on the outside. It forces a D to pick their poison.
When the running game nets 5 yards on three carries in the second half, and the WR group is not very dynamic, and the OC acumen is questionable, spread the blame around.Hartman didn't play very well yesterday either, outside of his running.
They've been really good at home this year - where we played them.You didn't mention Pittsburgh 38 Louisville 21.
Well, I watched Pittsburgh play at home yesterday, a 17 point loss to Florida St., and also saw the North Carolina game that was at Pittsburgh, another 17 point loss for Pitt.They've been really good at home this year - where we played them.
Louisville had one bad game. But they'll likely be playing FSU for the ACC title. They just pounded their top two rivals for that spot the last two weeks.Well, I watched Pittsburgh play at home yesterday, a 17 point loss to Florida St., and also saw the North Carolina game that was at Pittsburgh, another 17 point loss for Pitt.
Must have been off days at home for Pitt.
Really? Okay. He played in a bum ankle dude.Yes, Leonard played against Louisville. He was 9/23 for 121 yds and a pick.
I watched Pitt play Notre Dame, and watched Pitt yesterday. How Louisville lost by 17 points to Pitt and gave up 38 points, completely confuses me.Louisville had one bad game.

I would, if I were him. It was kind of indefensible hiring him in the first place. But you could let it slide on account of the circumstances if you were charitable. You can't retain him after the offense has been as underwhelming as it's been, and as might have been expected, elevating a crony position coach to that key role.It'll be interesting to see what Freeman decides to do at OC, though. I don't think it's guaranteed that Parker gets fired. But he may go after some high profile guys again, who knows.
You spread out around too. Stop acting like he's playing well. Give him some blame and get off your kneesWhen the running game nets 5 yards on three carries in the second half, and the WR group is not very dynamic, and the OC acumen is questionable, spread the blame around.
