Love this team.

No doubt but very disappointing the way they showed 0 urgency those those first 40 minutes. Winnable ball game and got out schemed more than out manned.
Guts. Heart. Toughness. Guys developed.
Awesome group. Easy to like. Fun to root for.
We'll be back next year.

Had nothing to do with urgency. The defense was beat up and we were outmanned. We just couldn't get any stops. They were the better team. Would have loved to pkay them with a healthy roster but that's football
Chip Kelly called a great game. You gotta hand it to him, he used Howard as an extra runner. Wonder where he got that idea?
We were outmanned. Simple as that. Our starters I will put with any team in College Football but we lost too many and teams like OSU simply have the depth to overcome it and we did not
No pressure all night. None. D too hurt. Can't beat Ohio State like that.
It's likely a closer game w Botelho, Mills, and Traore.
But it's football. Injuries happen.
Non sense.. this was not an Alabama out manned sitch.. it was Chip Kelly dialing it up. The D was confused and didn’t have the right game plan.
Haha our team matched them on the trenches, Riley had all day, did Love touch the ball in the 2nd half? Judkkns run wasn’t a matter of being out man but an mis fit, which was the case against the run game. No accountability for the QB, 3 and 11 0 overage. They got out coached
No we didn't match them in the trenches. They got after Riley and we didn't sniff Howard. Also when they needed to run they had holes everywhere and after the 1st poss we did not.
They were better but we still almost had a chance at the end
Brian Kelly natty halftime adjustments - Wishing the opponent stays in the locker room for the rest of the game.

Somewhere BK is Smiling and twerking his arse after the ND loss.
Agreed on the D line, the thin depth finally cost us.
The OL was fantastic, RL had all day and his sacks were not due to time. Hard to tell how the run game was since it was abandoned but they pushed them around the first drive.
1988 squad was flawless. Behind them, I’d put this team with the 2012 team and some of Holtz near misses (‘89, ‘92, ‘93).
Notre Dame absolutely did not match OSU In the trenches, and your “…out coached…” comment is garbage.
He did not have all day and they weren't pushing people around after the 1st drive
He got out of a lot of pressure all game long
Great team showed a lot of heart. Not gonna say my favorite team; as I was around in 88. But right up there. We are back. Still some work to do to get to the mountain top.
For sure. This team was a lot like the Holtz squads.
But prior to 2012, ND football had been mediocre for so long, so that season holds a place in my heart.
Huh? Riley had plenty of time ha! they were out schemed on D. How do you explain 6 points in the final 28 minutes compared to 28 in the first 32? The D was out of position.
We forced a turnover when they were driving and they took their foot off the gas and the last possession they played for a field goal instead of trying to score a TD. They came out of halftime and scored right away and they changed the way they played
The fake punt, giving up 28 in 32 min, the field goal down 16, cover 0 on 3 and 11- out coached
Outcoached and outplayed. Good effort but not enough. Injuries were a huge factor
