You’d have to be in total denial to think that having fewer days isn’t going to have a negative impact in terms of creating a game plan and in terms of physical recovery from the Georgia game.

Let’s ask the question another way, would you rather have seven days to prepare or eight days to prepareafter playing Georgia,

Especially whenYou have to travel back to South Bend, and then travel to Miami prior to next Thursday’s game

How can you not want an extra day?

He was a 48.5% passer with 11 TDs and 20 Ints in his career

He had a stronger arm and better deep ball no doubt (he also had Rocket) but he wasn't a more accurate passer or a better thrower than RL

Again, it was a different game back then, They were primarily an option team, and they played a brutal schedule compared to what ND plays today.

Our dline played solid, they played FAR from lights out. Golden had so many well timed run blitzes called and the LBs, and safeties did unreal against the run. Yes the Dline made some huge plays against their awful LT. I'm not saying our front 4 played bad, but to say our front 4 was stuffing them is just untrue.

Other than one run, 34 yards in 28 attempts, and you don’t think the defensive line played lights out

I would take 5th year Reily in a heartbeat. But I doubt it happens.

But his main asset was running the ball and the team. I can agree to a point though. I'd like to see the Irish break out the old option play.
I believe Leonard will be an excellent WR or TE in the NFL. Or maybe even an RB.

It's says they are looking to make a decision in early part of 2025. When do they have to declare for the draft? He's a late round pick at this point, might be wise to wait.

I think 7 days after the Final game of the year so maybe Jan 27th around there

Unfortunately, he would be a monster in year 2 Denbrock

This game is for the right to play for the CFB National Championship! There will be nothing to stop the Irish from getting there. Mark my word!

Because of this quick turnaround into Orange Bowl prep, I didn’t have time to do a full-throttle snap count story yet, as I usually do, the day after every game. However, I will get one done eventually. But in the meantime, I wanted to share some raw numbers from Thursday night’s Sugar Bowl.

Leonard is a lot like Tony Rice in my humble opinion. He has leadership, and run the ball and is a threat to do that at any time, and both had, have, limits on their throwing ability. And remember, Tony Rice was the Irish QB in 1988, the last time they won the Natty! A repeat will feel just fine!

Some just can’t read beyond headlines. This ND team is very talented…only lacking the burner at WR and the 350 DT…if we land one or two of of those in next couple years it will be nirvana

But remember, they will have to be academically solid and know that they'll be expected to go to classes.

A 15 yard gain is a 15 yard gain, whether it's a pass or a QB run.

What is our ideal scenario? Beat PSU and hope Texas beats OSU?

Beat Penn State and not worry about who wins the other semi. Worry about that after next Thursday night.

Leonard for me. That play where he dove for the first down and almost landed on his head shows how much he wants to win.

It shows how great of an athlete he is. There were multiple runs where he pulled away from a Georgia DB. Ian Book is not that type of athlete.

Love Ian, but he was predominately offered by MAC schools and WSU for a reason. Against elite teams, you need either an elite passer or elite athlete, of which Book is neither.

We didn’t create much separation yesterday and when that happened with Book, Clemson and Bama contained him. We lose that game with Ian Book. Riley Leonard made up for the advantage the Georgia secondary had. They sold out to stop the run but still couldn’t contain him. We finally have an elite QB, albeit as a runner.

They have looked good, but they played Boise and we played Georgia.

They played SMU and Boise STATE, maybe the two weakest teams in this year's CFB "tourney."

Because the data/evidence runs counter to all the bias and erroneous narratives that are floating around the football program. And the truth needs to be stated emphatically in order to increase the quality of the product.

Well, it's clear you and your data/evidence was wrong. Notre Dame just beat the #2 ranked team in the Sugar Bowl in dominant fashion to advance to the semi-finals. Maybe you should stop posting your bias and erroneous narratives that run counter to the results on the field.
