ND vs Army game thread

Seriously I said the same thing. But I guess in retrospect he is training to be a military officer and will face possibly much more worse than a few tackles.
True, but right now, the coach should be focusing on winning football games. Running the QB into the ground is not going to help Army beat Tulane next week. It was a tremendous disservice to the team IMO. Imagine if he got hurt and Army lost to Tulane and Navy? I’d be pissed if I were an Army fan.

At Auburn 43 Texas A&M 41

Couldn't disagree more. Solid teams who have difficult environments to play in. Great, great year for college football across the board.
Yeah Vandy losing to Georgia State. Great

Miss state getting beat by 24 to Toledo. Great

Auburn losing to Cal. Great

Florida getting destroyed by Miami. Great

Lsu getting beat by USC. Great

Arkansas gets beat by mighty Oklahoma state. Great

Just all greatness up and down 🤣

By far the best up and down lol

How much more " upside " are you you looking for ? They're thrashing everyone.

I explained ND winning is not a fuller test due to the schedule and some lingering doubt vs NIU. Yes, ND is taking care of business, as you only can play the schedule you have...but the upside is doing it in the playoffs, showing PROVEN elite capability.

Thrash them in the playoffs. Like the Fighting Irish did in my youth, instilling fear in everybody. Return to glory.

I spent some time watching various games today. ND is good for top 10 for sure. Not top 5 yet.

Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, and Texas are favored over the Irish. But at this point, I think ND is in a tight pack with teams like Penn State, Alabama, Tennessee, and TAMU...noting 2 of these lost today.

Interesting how this is all playing out. From the ashes of NIU to a pretty good outfit right now. I just hope the O can do it against the better teams when it counts.

1 more to go. I am watching USC vs UCLA. ND is better than the Trojans...but the Trojans are better than Army.

Trojans have some explosiveness in O. But stall in the red zone. D not that good. I have to believe ND beats them, although it will be competitive.
Watching PSU, Bama and UTn....I dont see them being favored over ND....its a "Pick'em" based on where they play.....Oregon isnt exactly blowing people out, they got lucky against Wisky that got blown out by Nebraska. UGA's QB is inconsistent, and TX lost badly the only talented team they have played to date.

ND is a top 5 when RL is on......When he hits open receivers and you cant stack the box we will be tough to beat. You have to hope for a bad day because our defense will give him numerous chances. I like where we are, doesnt matter if we are 1 or 5......But, if you were really ranking them it would be Oregon, OSU, TX and ND.......those teams are passing the eye test.

I agree. The SEC is full of many quality teams. I think if you take out OSU and Oregon there are 6-8 teams from the SEC that are way better than anyone else in the BIG 10. Incredibly deep this year pretty much top to bottom.

I agree 100%. Even Alabama, can't believe we're saying that, is a dangerous team. They've played a really strong schedule in a transition year. A lot are writing off the SEC prematurely.

Don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying our Notre Dame 1st world college football problems. 1st time a while I felt this good about ND.

Most importantly, I feel some magic about the team. Marcus Freeman, as this is what it will take and he has to bring. I just don't want to get too carried away...NIU and the schedule are real factors.

The Irish need to win next week...and I for one see some start aligning, as maybe some strong SEC teams get left out...on too many losses vs some proportional representation.

Again, for me the goal of the a 12 team playoff...get the 1st 4-5 in, with some margin for the rest. ND should be there.

I think that's sort of the art of being a deeply pathological Orwellian style hater, in the clinical sense. Is to lie so completely, that when you're hating on someone, and demonizing them and belittling their achievements, whoever the hate figure is, in this case it's BK. That it's not simply that 2+2=5, it's two plus two equals polka dots, and the more absurd the claim the better, the more egregious, the more flamboyant, the better to spray your disdain with contempt and derision for anything that could stand in the way of it. You don't just hate hate BK, you have contempt for all sense of reality, if such reality would in any way impede you. So the more ludicrous your aspersions, the richer the whole experience. That you don't even bother to make even vaguely plausible slanders.

Thus your claim that Jayden Daniels was recruited and developed by ASU. You actually even included 'recruited' by ASU. As if he was working in a gas station somewhere, or at a video arcade as a quarter porter, deep in the bowels of the ghostly Inland Empire. And ASU found him out of total obscurity, recruited him, gave him a scholarship and then coached him up to what he is today. And then BK in dastardly fashion strutted into town, all arrogant and phony like a politician, bought him off with the LSU slush fund, right as ASU's big investment was about to pay off, and took him back to his office in Baton Rouge and started crying and begging Jayden to save his career. And JD was like, 'Sure thing, coach.'

And the rest is history.
You have some imagination. I still believe you should be in a straight jacket, but you could probably write some best selling fiction.
