ND-UNLV game thread

[Fifthhorseman25]

For all of us "not true fans" and have Peacock, lets get this game going. (Please read this with heavy sarcasm).

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

One interesting thing from the pregame looks like TR wants Diggs to be the main running back.

 

[savvyandsassier]

I like Diggs, I think he's a great RB.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Opening drive TD. Yes, it is against a bad team but so was Stanford. Will take the little wins when we can get them.

 

[savvyandsassier]

Good start...

 

[TheSodFather]

Everyone just always looks so tentative. Both sides of the ball

 

[PHJIndy]

Lots of empty seats. I wish I had gone up there for this one I haven't seen a regular season game since the 2006 UCLA game. I was blest to have seen about 30 games or so at ND Stadium, and many Blue/Gold "games."

 

[PHJIndy]

FG, Irish up 10-0!

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Pyne... try overthrowing more next time. Make Lenzy work for it.

 

[d1042]

when did UNLV become so bad?

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Nice to see some different faces out there on the offense.
Glad MF went for the easy 3 instead of trying to get the first. Don't give UNLV a chance to believe they can win this one.

 

[Rockne's Rambler]

Morrison hurt?

 

[TheSodFather]

Lol tell me more about how the defense isn’t a problem

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Maybe should have gone for the first down...LOL!!!!!!

 

[PHJIndy]

Rebs score and it's now 10-7.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Lol tell me more about how the defense isn’t a problem

What worries me about this game...UNLV starting QB and RB out. NDs defense has a history of making backups look good.

 

[DieHard_Irish]

Let's be honest, we are just bad.

Yep Stanford had half the band playing last week

 

[TheSodFather]

The sprint out RPO never works

 

[TheSodFather]

Tommy is looking lost after his scripted first series

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Call a damn play and run it......it can't be that hard. Stop standing like statues and run a damn play.

 

[PHJIndy]

Irish, three and out. Punting.

 

[DieHard_Irish]

Yeah, Tommy Rees' fault that Styles can't catch? Again, players make plays, our don't

 

[TheSodFather]

Stles has become a drop machine.

I hope he isn’t serious about transferring to OSU because he isn’t close to good enough

 

[BGI User 1596]

2 very bad teams!

 

[BGI User 1596]

Irish, three and out. Punting.

Tough UNLV defense! Lols

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

LS just a plain out and out drop.....I mean seriously.....those are plays we have to stop.

 

[PHJIndy]

Rebels, 3 and out and the punt is blocked!

 

[ftnfan62]

LS needs to sit. Set the culture

 

[TheSodFather]

Whew we may have found a team that wants to lose more than we do!

 

[ftnfan62]

Man this O is painful to watch

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

We can't return a punt but by golly we can block them....

 

[iwish]

There’s just zero consistency. Pyne looks scared to death and/or delivering poor passes/decisions, but then delivers a strike . Defense has complete mental lapses followed by moments of great plays. It is what it is…..

 

[PHJIndy]

TD Irish, they're up 17-7 .

 

[ftnfan62]

Thank goodness for Mayer. Even that pass was high and MM stretched for it.

 

[NDblitz]

Opening drive TD. Yes, it is against a bad team but so was Stanford. Will take the little wins when we can get them.

UNLV is better than Marshall.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

17 points in the first qtr....finally......

 

[PHJIndy]

Foskey on the blocked kick and Mayer on the TD pass.

 

[savvyandsassier]

Yeah, Tommy Rees fault that Styles can't catch? Again, players make plays, our don't

It still reflects directly on the coaches. Fortunately, we're going to win this game with ease.

 

[PHJIndy]

UNLV 3 and out.
