The game shouldn't be on Riley Leonard's shoulders. He should have been yanked against NIU mid second half. At least until ND regained a comfortable lead. We have back up quarterbacks who can do the job if Leonard isn't getting it done. I don't know why Leonard played the entire game against NIU when it was clear another quarterback could be used to some extent to change the trajectory of the game. If Leonard comes out flat at any point forward.....Freeman has to be prepared to adapt.

You could indeed make the argument that Riley Leonard had zero business playing the 2H against NIU. The dude was hurting.

LT Jagusah/Black
LG Schrauth/Augustine
C Craig/Pendleton or Knapp?
RG Knapp/Pendleton
RT Wagner/Lambert

Thought I'd take a stab at the two deep. I wonder if Rocco and Coogan come back. Hope so. Hell, Pendleton was on The Athletic's mid-season Freshman all-American team! A lot of NFL level talent in this two-deep!

What are you guys thinking will be the two deep?

Yep, biggest question is what happens when a game is put on Leonard's shoulders? One thing about Love & Price is they both are very able pass catchers. So if an opposing defense loaded the box, I think there are some creative ways to use both of them in the passing game.

I will say, they didn't seem very good when we played them. They looked liked they sucked, like a middle of the pack MAC team. MAC teams are sometimes really good, and you can tell when they are, and NIU definitely wasn't that.

The way the season has gone, I feel like the NIU loss is irrelevant. It's a blemish, but it doesn't make us seem like we suck, on account of how we've pretty much rolled everyone else. Louisville being the only team to sort of give us a game. So it comes off like a fluke. And it's definitely way better that we beat A&M and proved ourselves, and had a stupid, random loss to NIU, than the other way around. A high value win being way more useful than avoiding a 'bad loss'.

Conference Championship Losers

51yardboot
Any school who is penciled into the CFP bracket the week before going into a conference championship game this year with the probable exception of Oregon runs the risk of being left out of the CFP if they lose their conference championship game. Whereas, if they didn’t play in the conference championship game, they would remain in the CFP and get a week off to rest and heal. Didn’t all the brilliant conference commissioners like Greg Sankey, the SEC Commissioner, and athletic directors at the different schools see this coming? Perhaps Swarbrick did and kept his mouth shut all the while wondering how none of the other power players realized the sweet spot Notre Dame would always be in if they were among the highest ranked teams in any given year like this year with the hope they would always be in the running for the 5 through 8 seeds (ideally 5).

Wait a minute. So the OP posted under the handle Stu4Don (im guessing a St John Bosco reference) and I replied to his post but he responded to my reply as Sjb75. Jesus dude not only have you been posing as a ND for over a decade but you also have multiple handles. 😂

WTF are you talking about?! my handle has nothing to do with John Bosco and I've never posted under another one. I'm an '78 alum who has been posting here for years. Do you hear voices too?

Why does it seem like "hosting a playoff game" is the ultimate goal at ND these days?

Are you chase just posting under another handle? Listen: you can't win the championship unless you make the playoffs. And if you make the playoffs, wouldn't you prefer to play at home as opposed to on the road? It's really not that difficult to understand.

Exactly. What these neanderthals don't understand is you can have multiple goals. I set quarterly goals for my team and even myself, and it's usually 3.

ND football teams goals:

1. Make playoffs
2. Host playoff game
3. Win Championship

So much for ND not being able to schedule top tier teams. I love that ND is scheduling more games with the SEC. A&M, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas. They scheduled with Georgia and Texas in recent past.

New uniform for Army game

Drinking The Green Koolaid
I sort of like the blue-gray color of the uniform, obviously paying homage to the famous opening line of the column penned by Grantland Rice:

“Outlined against a blue, gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below."

Love to see history repeat itself at Yankee Stadium.
