ND - usc Game thread

Can we please not fall for trick plays every damn game! It's like we still don't know how to defend those! Pathetic!
 
Can we all feel a classic ND meltdown coming? I really hope I'm wrong
 
could be a tough 2nd half for our irish if the wrs can't start getting open for kizer
 
Good grief. When is Notre Dame going to get a team by the throat and then stand on it? This is getting sickening. I've never in my life seen a program that will take a blowout or potential blowout of a very good team, and piss it away like this program does.
 
not sure what the adjustment is to 'bad'

a wounded team, with a coach that had half a week to get ready is tearing up the ND defense!

this will come dowm to which defense is more incompetent!
 
Ok, I'll say it. Let just lose out this year so we can end the Era of Mediocrity.
 
My halftime adjustments:
Defense: get some speed on the field i.e. Redfield and Morgan. Stay disclpined. Do not leave your man until ball carrier has crossed line of scrimmage.
Offense: use 2 TEs and have them lead block to get the run game going and create some play action. Run shallow drags like SC has been doing.
Special teams: no adjustments. Been the best group so far.
 
very poorly coached on both sides of the ball.Injuries haven't helped but neither have the coaches.
Same crap every year. Turnover problems. Terrible RZ play. Mental breakdowns. Injuries are part of the game, look at MSU they have lost a huge chunk of their starting defense. I'm tired of the injury excuse every year. Every team has injuries.
 
Smith n Jackson will run free all night.

geez! the other teams don't even have coaches and beat ND! 1st year coaches are successful!
now 1st week coaches too? happens 'continuously'

they blow this n recruiting is gonna really take a shot in the butt!
 
java

he is staying till he wins a NC! the 100 year reign!
Yea, I guess mediocre is good enough for ND now.

What kills me is the stupidity of Kelly. ND has been running the ball great but he keeps going to the pass. Against Clemson we couldn't run the ball and that's all he would do for 3 Qtrs. I guess he just enjoys banging his head against a wall.

The play call on 1st and goal from the 3 was a perfect example.

Kelly thinks he's smarter then everyone. He's obviously not

This feels like the 2011 UM game. We should have have them beat by half but we let them hang around until they beat us.
 
Warn: If ND missing the tackles after halftime then USC will win. ND's SS and CB are not speed. USC runs so faster.
Kizer is waste time to keep USC sacks him!
 
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[/QUOT

I said all week we get pressure or forget it. This defense has been totally exposed. Beyond pathetic.
 
back to the pass after the run worked so well to start the half. idiot.
