ND - usc Game thread

[IrishHerb]

Whats wrong with our defense. Hope this isn't a repeat of clemson.

 

[brian822]

Defense is a complete bag of suck. Can't tackle and can't cover. Another ass kicking coming.

 

[IrishHerb]

At least our O got us back to even in one play.

 

[brian822]

They are so bad.....

 

[brian822]

Joe Schmidt completely blows

 

[Java65]

Now way Schmidt should be playing. Can't tackle and can't cover.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Schmidt is a good story, but you can't tell me Grace or Morgan would be worse than him right now.

 

[coolirish9]

if the defense can't get pressure on the sc qb and continue to allow him to have all day to throw then the irish offense is going to have to score a bunch to keep up

 

[perseverare]

the D talked a good game this week; talk is....

 

[Java65]

First one to 100 wins?

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

SPECIAL TEAMS!!!!

 

[IrishHerb]

Should start a betting thread … to guess the final score. This could become interesting.

 

[Johnnie82]

Put the pressure on and keep it on

 

[Java65]

So tired of the blitzing, we are so awful at it.

 

[ZVZ]

really need to get to the QB

gonna be a lot of points! defense wins games, so the D that gets a couple stops will win!

 

[IrishHerb]

This has to be the most fundamentally weak ND defense I"ve seen in a long time.

On blitzes and pass rushes often one or two guys would get through and zero in on Kessler, but still miss him. Tackling is awful for most part. Geesh ...

 

[coolirish9]

the irish offense is playing really well. cj is the kind of dffference making rb that Charlie was missing when he was taking on pete carrol and sc

 

[Java65]

Kizer is a really good QB. Great in the pocket. Getting better at reading the defense and he is so cool under pressure

 

[ZVZ]

WTH?

 

[ndhell]

Wow what a soft turnover. Great job ND. Give them a chance to get back in the game.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

DAMMIT HUNTER!!!!

 

[coolirish9]

that turnover could end up being a killer as our irish could've gone up by 18 pts

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Fundamentals.....don't run with the ball away from the body, don't tackle high, turn your head (cb) when the ball is in the air.... <sigh>

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

At least we got a 3 and out and a nice return by Sanders.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

How many more highlights of last years game are we going to see? I mean geez, come on NBC, ND has the contract not so cal.

 

[ndhell]

ND's redzone offence sucks.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Come on defense get the ball back....need another TD before the half.

 

[Java65]

we just let team hang around and games much closer than they should be.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Third DAMN time that play has been run against this defense.

 

[ndhell]

Good ol ND.

 

[PHJIndy]

The Irish get the ball back after the Trojans score on a 75 yard trick play.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Every OC will run this play against ND going forward.

 

[PHJIndy]

It looks like it's gonna be a track meet all night.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

24-17 should be 35-10 and game over. As Java said we let teams hang around we don't deliver the KO punch when we have the chance. Ok lets make it 31-17 at the half.

GO IRISH!!!!!!!!

 

[brian822]

****ing kidding me on that play....corners re a joke

 

[brian822]

tie game coming up....they deserve to lose for letting USC hang around

 

[ndhell]

ND is a joke. It's the same thing every year. No killer instinct.

 

[Java65]

This game should be over. At a minimum it should be 35-10 but all we did is give USC confidence.

 

[PHJIndy]

24 all!
