Angeli deserved a chance prior to this game.

This is embarassing for any team to be this bad at QB. Its a shame really

I feel for the rest of the team.

Its demoralizing

AWESOME!!!!!! Great drive....take out Estima...another tipped ball and now a missed FG. Please for the love of God and all things holy put Angeli in for a series or two. We could be up 14 or 17-0 but nope...we are just going to keep playing batted balls until one gets picked and returned for a TD.....

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Pyne is so bad. Hope that miss doesnt change momentum

At the least the D got some rest. TOP plays a big role in this game for us. What angers me is that the clock stops when Pyne can't throw beyond the LOS.

 

[Patrirish]

they deserve more help

Clemson is a good defensive team

You can’t miss that FG !

Was that Rees’s or Pyne’s fault ? Downwind !

 

[GH56IRISH]

Wanted.
6’4…6’5 QB that has decent running ability but a cannon of an arm. How can ND get like 3 of these guys every year. Frustrating

 

[christophero]

I'm shocked that having a small QB would result in so many passes being tipped.

 

[wfeldmann]

How many tios have there been because is 5 foot nothing

 

[BGI User 1596]

Pyne can not get anything over the D line.

Pune looks like Doug Flutie!

 

[GDFan]

ARE YOU CRAZY ?

WITH ND LEADING AND MOVING THE BALL YOU WANT TO BRING IN ANGELI ?

I get your point but we aren’t moving the ball due to the QB. Pretty sure there are a few guys in the roster that can hand the ball off.

You don’t know if Angeli would play worse !

 

[Notre Dame du Lac]

That’s my fear. The defense can’t shut out Clemson on a team with 0 offense. That’s insane. Even Georgia couldn’t do that.

 

[TheSodFather]

You just can not start an immobile 5’7” person at QB in this day and age

 

[ftnfan62]

Groupe is good from 30 in. That’s it

 

[Patrirish]

I get your point but we aren’t moving the ball due to the QB. Pretty sure there are a few guys in the roster that can hand the ball off.

But you don’t know if Angeli would play worse and turn the ball over!

 

[hoopsstar12]

Just punt on 4th down. The FG kicker stinks. A good coach would have noticed by now. Aside from punt block same crap different week. Clemson will eventually realize we have no offense and gain momentum with big plays.

 

[TheSodFather]

You don’t know if Angeli would play worse !

Getting your pass over the line of scrimmage?

Thats the bar right now

 

[hoopsstar12]

But you don’t know if Angeli would play worse and turn the ball over!

Who cares at this point? We are not going anywhere.

 

[ftnfan62]

Battle of horrid QB’s

 

[tbonesays]

ARE YOU CRAZY ?

WITH ND LEADING AND MOVING THE BALL YOU WANT TO BRING IN ANGELI ?

WHICH WAY ARE WE MOVING??

 

[Patrirish]

I worry every time I see the 3 man rush

 

[GH56IRISH]

Any other team would have gone to their backup by now.

 

[Get Nasty]

Clemson is a good defensive team

Was that Rees’s or Pyne’s fault ? Downwind !

No but not being able to complete a pass more than 2 yards is on them

 

[Golson5]

Pune looks like Doug Flutie!

Without the athleticism and arm strength...yeah

 

[christophero]

Let Clemson hang around and this will not end well. We need to put them away.

 

[Notre Dame du Lac]

Something has to change offensively. You cannot do the same thing and expect a different result.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Stop the Angeli talk. I'm as frustrated as y'all are. He's not going to play.

 

[Patrirish]

WHICH WAY ARE WE MOVING??

We’re moving toward their goal line and we should have had a FG and been up 10-0

 

[ftnfan62]

Let’s get a drive going

 

[Patrirish]

Something has to change offensively. You cannot do the same thing and expect a different result.

Yes you can, it’s called running the ball down their throat

 

[NDinNJ]

ARE YOU CRAZY ?

Th OL and RB's are moving the ball. If ND needs a throw, Pyne has consistently failed to deliver.

 

[Get Nasty]

They’re all in on pyne unless injury, they clearly don’t have angeli prepared or he’s just not good

you can’t have qb play this bad and roll with it

 

[Notre Dame du Lac]

Without the athleticism and arm strength...yeah

LOL. Doug Flutie was a bad ass. Pyne is worse as a QB than Avery Davis would have been.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Hmmm Clemson put their true freshman in to win the game against Syracuse....but I guess that is not the ND way....I would almost say here is the part in the game where a tipped ball gets returned for a TD.

 

[ftnfan62]

That FG miss hurts bad. You got a 20 mph wind directly behind you. Need those. They should switch kickers outside of 30

 

[GH56IRISH]

Stop the Angeli talk. I'm as frustrated as y'all are. He's not going to play.

Why? Is he ineligible?

 

[bizzybecknd]

Move the pocket, get Pyne out on bootlegs, slow the d line and give DP better throwing lanes.

 

[banmate6]

Clemson is a good defensive team

Was that Rees’s or Pyne’s fault ? Downwind !

All correct...except regarding DP...who cannot sustain a drive through his throwing skills, necessitating a longer FG.

DP has been terrible this game. A real liability. No way to sugarcoat it.

I'm rooting for him...and for Rees to manage through the limitations of DP.

 

[NDinNJ]

Anyone criticizing Freeman, needs their head examined. He clearly made Rees transition the offense to more of a power running game.

 

[Golson5]

Estime estime estime

 

[TheSodFather]

2 straight runs of Estime would be nice Tommy
