Won’t beat a good team with legs only. Got to have an arm that can throw over the D consistently. Leonard doesn’t have it. Not sure why why why they can’t see this.
ND vs OH game thread
- Thread starter ftnfan62
- Start date
That good as long as he stays healthy playing that type of game. And he has a history of injuries
i think ND is continuing to go to RL because they believe he can improve as a passer as the season progresses and he already offers enough with his legs to beat these regular season cupcakes the schedule is littered with
If this was year 2 or 3 and RL had the same group of WRs and same system etc. i would be a lot more critical of RL ...
But this is basically like spring training for RL and this offense in general. I think there's upside in the passing game here with continued reps/experience/games/etc. over the course of the season.
Enough upside to take games from the best teams in the country in the playoff? not really .. but enough to be consistently better than what it has been during the first quarter of the season

Check back when A&M loses another two or so games and finishes 5th or 6th best in the SEC. If that’s your standard of good that is sorry.
A&M entered the season as the 7th best team in the SEC with a #13 overall SP+ projection
e.g. you can still be a good team even if you are a mediocre team in your own super conference
Looked over the NIU vs buffalo game and NIU dominated the stats like crazy but made a lot of mistakes
now looks like OT

Post game interview MF says don't call passes that your QB can't throw. He can't throw a simple 3-5 out pattern, what are you supposed to call? Passes even with the line of scrimmage?
Tony Rice wasn't exactly known for his downfield passing. And he led us to a MNC.
Rice was better than you seem to remember; assuming of course you actually watched him play
There's been many over the past 25 years. You know the SEC has 6 of the top 8 teams right now in the top 25
Good win. Miami's the defending MAC champs. But the team played fairly sloppy, and will need to play better next week. Go Irish!!
RL is not a championship QB. He's a borderline liability. Without this defense to protect him, he'd be on the bench by necessity. But he is a good runner. I don't think any OC wants him running for a hundred yards every game, other than maybe Denbrock, who just got through coaching Jayden Daniels, so that was fortuitous. But I don't know what else you're going to do but keep running him, and hope your luck holds. And with our schedule, maybe it will. I just want to make the playoff, so whatever....
Leonard did not turn the ball over, had 3 TDs and 297 yards of offense. With our elite defense that may be enough to get us to the playoff. That said I wish Angelli had played more today, but for better or worse this team is riding RL.
Buffalo 23
NIU 20
UM 27
SC 24

TERRIBLE GAME BY ND TODAY, PERIOD!
SEASON IS OVER THIS TEAM ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE AND YET THEY WILL CONTINUE W/ RL...WHAT A JOKE.
IF I WAS SA I WOULD TRANSFER ESPECIALLY KNOWING CARR/DEUCE IS THE FUTURE.
YOU PEOPLE THINKING THERE'S A WAY A RL LEADS ND TO THE PLAYOFFS ARE AMONGST THE DUMBEST FANS IN THIS SPORT!!
IT'S OK SAY THE NUT HUGGERS OF ND FOOTBALL SINCE 1993!!!!
STARTING TO THINK MF REALLY DOES NEED TO GO!

He did turn the ball over through the fumble but I think your overall point stands. What would his passing numbers have looked like without the Miami penalties?
I’m not saying he was necessarily good passing either.
