ND at Purdue Game Thread

[FightingIrish44]

ND lost to NIU.

They lost to Marshall and Stanford and then crushed Clemson who was #4. Care to rethink that certainty?

 

[Golson5]

But you're still a fraud.

So are you and your bf

 

[BaldyNd]

These injuries are unreal

 

[NDinNJ]

too many injuries. Hope these guys will be ok

 

[ftnfan62]

Was that intentional?

 

[Holycrossover3]

Winning the game but losing the war (against the grass)

 

[FightingIrish44]

Jayden Thomas on a Reverse is wild! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Were you expecting that? Looks to me like ND had Purdue outnumbered but maybe I’m wrong.

 

[HRC08]

3 fvck starters in one half of football?

Different OC, different QB's, Different personnel. I'm referring to this specific team, and Clemson didn't end up in the top 5 did they?

Nooo I’m expecting them run reverses and jet sweeps with quick twitch guys like every other team in America does. Not tall WR’s.

This is crazy.

Leonard can’t even throw a competent 15 yard square in without bouncing it

 

[Get Nasty]

That was a good pass to wide open receiver

 

[ftnfan62]

He had love standing in the EZ alone

Way to cherry pick. The season is just started and Clemson finished 11-3.

 

[BM16]

Who was that wide open at the 10 yard line?? How does he not see that?

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Keep eyes downfield! Had a TD waiting for you

 

[Fightingirish595]

Who was that wide open at the 10 yard line?? How does he not see that?

He is not a good quarterback

 

[Get Nasty]

Wide open with no one within 20 yards of love for td

 

[Get Nasty]

bench him now!!!

this offense is one dimensional. Top defenses would stop this offense. who's cherry picking, everything I stated is TRUE!

 

[sjb75]

I was thinking the same thing. What WR would come to ND with this offense.

Try praising Riley Leonard when the kid plays well.

 

[FightingIrish44]

Does that second down pass not illustrate why ND doesn’t throw downfield? The OL has been taking a beating this year. It’s smart playcalling from Denbrock.

 

[mva5580]

Something tells me the defensive strategy against ND the rest of the year will be pretty clear.

 

[FightingIrish44]

Look at this freaking stud. Leonard!!!

 

[HRC08]

That’s a special run. 🥰

 

[Fightingirish595]

Baffling we did not beat NIU by 20+ last week

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

bench him now!!!

Kinda hard to justify that when you're up by 4 scores... and likely counting.

 

[NDinNJ]

Try praising Riley Leonard when the kid plays well.

He's a great runner! Yay!!!

 

[christophero]

Whether Purdue is bad or not this is a nice bounce back game.

 

[Fightingirish595]

Look at this freaking stud. Leonard!!!

Great runner and sack avoider but I dont think thats going to be enough to beat the elite teams

 

[BaldyNd]

He missed two wide open TD passes, but then shows why we can’t bench him.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

We know this about Freeman. He gets his guys to bounce back.

 

[Golson5]

3 TDs. Why do people care so much if they are thrown or run in?

If they played this way, we'd be 3 and 0 in the top 5 right now

 

[BM16]

Stack the box with a spy on Leonard

 

[Get Nasty]

I hate this offense because it won’t beat top teams but I can’t believe with our talent we scored 14 last week

 

[Get Nasty]

3 TDs. Why do people care so much if they are thrown or run in?

If they played this way, we'd be 3 and 0 in the top 5 right now

Last sentence 100% true

People should hate this offense because we can’t throw and top teams with good defenses can slow down this run game and make him throw

 

[FightingIrish44]

Great runner and sack avoider but I dont think thats going to be enough to beat the elite teams

Maybe, maybe not. The OL is a problem so ND is going to have to find a way to eek out some points like they did against A&M.

sure as hell look that way

Totally did and two blockers both let the inside guy go.
