Riley Out Rest of Spring

2010 Stanford had Andrew Luck as their QB and went 12-1. Their only loss was to Oregon who lost by 3 points to 14-0 Auburn in the championship. I’d take Stanford. Its kind of crazy to think that they might have two titles by now had Harbaugh stayed.

I wasn’t thinking about Okie State in 2021. That does change the math a bit. I still really with they hadn’t lost that game (don’t we all).

Good point, I forgot that Stanford's peaked at the time. We can put them as even money against either of the Ohio State teams.

With Okla St we would have credited Freeman with a win so we should also fault him for the loss.

Kelly never, ever solved the quarterback problem at Notre Dame. It was solved for him at LSU when he arrived. (I'll go as far as to say he created the quarterback problem at ND and lived with it). MF recognizes the deficit that has existed...and he is closing the gap under center. This year will be interesting since Riley is going to be late to the party. But, likewise, the defense is closing the gap too. Freeman has this team within striking distance. This should be a no excuses year.

I don't know if it is a "problem" to be 'solved.' Rather Kelly insisted on a QB centric offense that only works when the QB makes the correct read of the defense followed by a good throw that the WR catches. Not really optimal for ND I think unless we want to have a smaller number of really good seasons where all the ducks line up.

Nonetheless, Kelly-Rees-Denbrock, we may never break out of that philosophy.

What was discussed before you butted in was the talent on the roster that BK inherited

He was handed a team loaded with talent but poorly coached and had a bad culture

The NFL told us the amount of talent the team had, not be. Take it up with them. I only report the facts

Kelly got a lot of talent sans balance. The 2009 roster was much better and BK could have made a lot more sausage out of Clausen to Tate.

Here’s exactly what IrishJohn said:

“NBA sucks. Has since the end of the 80’s.”
“Yeah no, NBA sucks!
Has for a long time. Unwatchable!”

Stating that the “NBA sucks” “ has for a long time” are statements in the present tense, not past tense references.

If you understand English, you know exactly what he meant,

Can we please settle this nonsense so Pat doesnt go 16 more pages on this. @Irishjohn68 did you mean after the 80's the NBA was unwatchable to include watching MJ in the 90's was unwatchable as well?

The 2010 roster in combination with the 2010 depth chart proves you wrong.

Only 1 player was drafted from the 2010 team by the NFL in the 2011 draft

In the 2012 draft only 3 players on the 2010 team played in the NFL

Ehhh. That's a stretch. Potential yes, but proven depth is very light.

We will have a big question at the safety spot beside X. Depth is also a problem at safety.

Cornerback...it's a projection but our top three should be top notch nationally. Depth beyond that though ..eh. but it's gotta be looked at as the strength of the d.

Linebacker. Deep with athletes and highly ranked players...very short on experience, which is why Kaiser is important especially early on to help make sure players are in right spots.

Dline... Inside is elite with unproven depth behind it. If we get Rubio back I'll fell awesome about the middle of the line.

Vyper is a mystery. We think bububacar will be a great addition to boteho. But we have to see it on the field.

All in all the line should be good to go. Especially if we get Rubio back for the more run oriented teams...dude is a space eater.

Nothing stated here is inaccurate, spot on but this is the beauty of college football - which players will be duds and which will emerge to be elite. Depth is a concern at all levels of the defense besides LB which we have a ton of unproven highly ranked dudes..somebody should emerge. I have a hunch Sneed isn’t there yet as an every down guy and will get passed up.

You’re a liar

That’s not what he said

He said that the NBA sucks since the end of the 80s, not that it was unwatchable at the end of the 80s. Learn how to read with a scintilla of comprehension.

IrishJohn was clear, he stated that the NBA was unwatchable, TODAY !

What lol.....Espn ranked our defense 7th in the country and they never think much Of Notre Dame

What team doesnt have questions? Every team does

Cross - All American
Watts - All American
Bmo - Frish AA and one of best cbs in cfb

Mills, Botelho, Kiser started on our top 10 defense last year.

6 returning starters from a top 10 defense and you add a 5th year proven DE. 2 5th year proven guys in the secondary in Clark and Heard. Add in a ton of talent at LB. Depth almost everywhere except a couple spots

This is easily a top 10 talented defense. Should be better than last year. Not even a question we are right up there

ESPN sells clicks.

Your giving the glass half full take.

Who's the cb 3 if Morrison misses time and grey pulls a hammy... Starters are elite depth is a large drop off

Who's the safety 3 if watt or schuler go down. Moreover schuler for as good as reports have him looking has never played meaningful time for ND.

What if the lbs take time to catch up on the defense and miss assignments...projections based on three new starters all playing at an elite level right away with extremely limited playing time.

Transfers could be great...or could be Antonio Carter.

Potential to be top 10 sure.

Potential to be around 20-25. Yup.
