We possibly could lose after this year on offense

Banks
Kreamer
Hainsey

Davis
Patterson
Yikes!

How did our defense look so bad in this game but give up essentially the same number of points as they did in regulation of the game in South Bend?

1) Not having a Stephon Tuitt or Aaron Lynch type pass rusher.

2) Not having a Michael Floyd or Golden Tate type player at WR.

In these 'big' games you have to have guys who you can 'put the game on their shoulders' in critical moments. Book can only do so much on his own.

Top tier teams. What’s not ok is the complete collapses ND has had under Kelly coached teams.

I can handle a loss. I can’t handle when our team gets completely mauled.

Kelly is just not a great big game coach. If he was truly a great coach, he could keep these games w in reach. We have not seen that. That is my only complaint w him really.

How would of they looked against Clemson today? I think both would of been blowned out also, especially Ohio State the way they played against a slow Northwestern team.

Zero respect is exactly the motivation that this team needs. They'll be ridiculed non-stop until kickoff vs. Bama. They might lose and it could get ugly, but if they win then it'll be the biggest win for the program in decades. I wouldn't bet against this team under those circumstances.

This game has turned into a shootout. UF has definitely gained momentum in the 3rd Qtr.
If Florida wins does the playoff selection become a moot issue?

Always getting blown out. Where do we go from this lost now

28-17 Bama. Florida looking decent so far. Certainly not getting pasted like I expected. Offense really moving the ball well.

On 30 attempts. never imagined our o line would could play this poorly

I get beating a great team twice is really difficult, but moving this line 3 points is unheard of. That’s an enormous amount of money bet on Clemson. Time to prove the doubters and haters wrong and create a bonanza for Vegas!

Is he moving on now that the top ranked kicker is coming in next year?

Orange Bowl please...

If we have a rooting interest in the SEC championship. Is a Bama blowout good? I’m not even sure

You know who you are. Idiot.

It’s not that Notre Dame’s not moving the ball and getting chunks. It’s just breaking down or not making simple plays/silly mistakes in big spots. Don’t say this often early in Q2, but ND could really use a stop.

If we don’t score here this could get sketchy pretty quick. Seems like having Lawrence at QB does make the difference. Our D has not been sharp in the secondary.

not seeing that at all. Seeing WRs being covered most plays. See Lugg getting pushed back into the backfield a lot. Seeing mistakes like missed FG, Davis running into the sideline when wide open, Crawford getting beat straight up and defense missing lots of tackles

that 4th and 1 with Etienne was putrid

This one sucked going thru. Just all around painful game. But hey, at least we’re not Michigan.

Everyone admits Lenzy is one, but who else on the team is considered a speed guy?

Actually sounded like the team may be out of juice. The whole Kelly discussion about skipping a bowl because parents weren't allowed was on behalf of his players. They have a therapist addressing their mental fatigue from the trials of the season. Obviously dealing with non football stresses. The boycott conversation was a hint. Today's struggles may have shown it. The juice may be low. The sacrifices may have sapped them? Does the team really want the playoffs? Do they even want a NY6 bowl? In normal years it wouldn't be a question, but this year, who knows?

Some notable data from the 34-10 defeat in the ACC Championship.

Why didn’t we use Braden Lenzy or Keys to stretch the field?

Was BK asked about Kyle’s injury during the postgame press conference?
