TelX,

I understand, but while his focus may be next week, next week isn’t the topic for discussion in this thread.

So I don’t care about what he cares about, I only care about the topic for discussion on this thread, and that’s what appears to be a very difficult opening schedule.

I agree that NIL and the transfer portal have made prognosticating a fluid and difficult task

Fluid is right! Hell, I thought Texas A&M, Florida St., U.S.C., and Louisville made this years schedule really difficult! But, …..

If he is injured like he was against NIU, then yes

If he isn't injured, hell no

Not even a debate. Very dumb question

Even Nolan Ryan got yanked. Players have bad games sometimes. Smart coaches find ways to create a spark. Heck saban benched Milroe

I may be in the minority here but I believe if angelli got a series or two vs NIU we’d be unbeaten right now. Jmo.

10-1.

But when you lose at home to Shitty Abysmal Northern Illinois, and you compare yourself to 10-1 Penn State, don’t whine if you are ranked one spot behind.

IMO the loss was that egregiously bad.

No shit! We fricking know it was an awfull loss. How many f...king times are you going to say it? You obviously havent watched any Penn St games, ND is clearly better. One $hit game doesn't define a season. Give it a break. Why don't you hang out on some sorry usc forum?

It was that egregiously bad, and EVERYBODY acknowledges this! But it is one game of 11 played by ND, and ND has not only won the other 10, but has increasingly looked very good doing so. My stated concern coming into this season was the play of the OL; and frankly, that is still my concern when we go up against better competition. As for whether we should be ranked ahead or behind Penn St., I have no opinion as I’ve only seen Penn St play once. But you’ve watched every ND game, and you refuse to marginalize their one shitty second game of a highly successful season to date.

Pat, I think he did pay attention to the title and is saying he doesn’t care about next year! At first glance, a tough first six games for sure with Miami and Texas A&M AND Arkansas and Boise St and USC, etc…. At this point, we have no idea who our QB will be, who makes up the starting OL, who leaves via portal, who comes via portal, who is injured, etc… and that’s just our team. The same goes for these teams. So, can’t even begin to guess other than to say we have the talent and potential to project a 6-0 record. That said, this is the kind of schedule I live and hope ND plays annually!

There is no excuse for losing to NIU. Evwr. Bad loss.

But you act like they are an FCS team.

Again no excuse. Brutal performance. But they aren't a 1 win fcs team you make them out to be

And twe have played 11 games this year. You compare all 11 games. When watching the teams, we are a better team than psu

We haven't had one game this year where we've been in a high scoring shootout. Sometimes they just happen no matter how good the defense is.
Odds are we can't go the entire season and playoffs(if we get in) without being in a shootout.

It's possible...yes. Is it likely?

If we find ourselves in that situation and just struggling to get points...

Would Freeman put Angelli in to perhaps spark the passing game?

Should he...put Angelli in to try and get some offense going?

Should he and would he are very different ! ! !

Or...do we die on the hill with Riley no matter what....

The NIU game answered that question. It’s NO NO and NO.
Not ONE series for angelli when Leonard was struggling drive after drive.

Should he. YES.
Will he. NO.

I rate Penn State higher than ND on a better schedule and losing to Ohio State rather than NIU.

But I now think it's 50:50 between the Irish and Nittany Lions in a playoff game.

Only the top 4 I mentioned give me some pause...but I am hoping ND shows upside obfuscated by this schedule.

ND beats Penn St 7 out of 10x. You obviously havent watched many of their games

Uhhhh.....USC beat LSU head to head

But of course, much better

No bias here at all

Good point Mel! However it was the first game of the year.

The 2nd game isn't determined yet. Hopefully it will be an easier type game.

It's about to be December, and all you want to talk about is a shitty game that was clearly a fluke, played in early September.

A lot has happened since then. If I could sum it up: we've kicked everyone's ass. Dominated everyone. The D and the run game are both elite. Leonard gets better every Saturday too. Freeman has this team absolutely rolling.

There's 6 maybe 8 teams that can go and win this thing, and we're right in the middle of it all.

You're mad over it.
