That was a smart defensive decision to swat the ball back into the field of play but of course we don't have anyone there to get it.
To add to this post: if ND goes on to score 20 unanswered points to finish the game, and wins by double digits, nobody will care about how mediocre the product looked during the first 2.5 quartersThe good news is that ND is the much better team (at least according to the best data available on both of these programs right now). And with 2 full quarters to go we can still see massive point swings in favor of the Irish. As long as there's game clock there's a chance for the skill to eventually fizzle to the top. But these games are tiny sample sizes so even 4 quarters sometimes isnt enough.
From your lips to Denbrock's ears.Stop playing so much man on defense. Gap discipline. Do your job.
NIU is stacking the box and blitzing like crazy. Use bubble screens and corner routes to make them pay for it. Use two TE sets to run the ball. Assert your dominance.
So much for undefeated and hosting a home playoff game. This loss today knocks us out. Season over in week 2, what a shame
Down 6 at halftime. Hardly game over, even if we look terrible. We should win, but some major areas of concern.
Was it over when the Nazis nuked Pearl Harbor?It almost feels like BK is back coaching ND.
