ND vs Ohio State Game Thread

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

We knew ND corners would have a hard time with this game. The thing to do is keep the WRs in front of us and only take calculated chances.

Looks OSU has found that one ND corner who will lay an egg in a big game. Every big game it seems this happens. Hopefully Hart turns it around.

D front 7 looks good, back end not so much.
O looks like it is running in quicksand. Need to go more up the middle than trying to go side to side.

 

[TheSodFather]

Hart the new Lewis?

Lewis is still Lewis. Probably getting most of the help

 

[Get Nasty]

Hart had a ton of preseason hype after good year including from me , couldn’t be playing worse

 

[Harpo Marxist]

.Offense is playing with its back against the wall....and the O line is not getting the push that will be needed to establlish the run. Penalties? Daggers.

 

[kev2225]

If be surprised if this isn't a blowout by halftime. ND looks outmanned already.

 

[BM16]

The offensive line is atrocious

 

[TheSodFather]

Not overwhelmed by the Harry Hiestad impact thus far.

 

[ftnfan62]

Bad play call by TR. 3-4. Gotta get that out faster.

 

[DieHard_Irish]

OLine seems weak at best; if we can't run it, we will get crushed. And we need constant consistent pressure on Stroud. Tall task tonight

 

[Harpo Marxist]

The ND O line has this game on their shoulders.....and so far....they aren't delivering as required.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

That sack is on Rees. Why r u sending Estime on a wheel route? Keep him in to block

 

[Harpo Marxist]

As soon as OSU is up a couple of scores...that takes the run game off the table....at least as much as needed. ND has to find a way to force a FG.

 

[Zorich 88]

Come on Oline!!!!!

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Is there rule that Buchner can't throw beyond 10 yards? Need to take a shot! Estime looks good.

He's only facing the best WR & QB in the country

 

[Get Nasty]

Play calling very very very vanilla first quarter … we put no pressure on their d, tommy let them dictate

He hasn’t guarded smith at all, but nd has put him on an island

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

First qtr down and one of the positives from the first qtr the team doesn't have that Kelly in the headlight look. Current drive is looking promising. Starting to run between the tackles and getting some quick hitters on short passes.
We just need to stay controlled and steady. 4-5 yards on first down and we can keep moving.

 

[Harpo Marxist]

The O line has't given him that opportunity....OSU has been shoving them around....untill Estime moved the ball. Now they have to keep pounding out first downs.....Keep Stroud off the field and wear down that defense as much as possible. His receivers are wearing red and gray blankets.

 

[ftnfan62]

That was a brilliant call TR

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Who is #3? I have H. Griffith and A. Davis. That couldn't have been either one. Was it G'Brian Payne?

The play calling has been excellent. Not sure what game you're watching

 

[Harpo Marxist]

Now we are seeing push from the o line....Field goals are failures against OSU.....They have got to push the defense back and get 7. Critical point in this game....

This drive much better, first 4 vanilla

 

[ftnfan62]

Gotta get this one. Seemed like a bad spot. Should be at 1/2

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Agreed but didn't matter.

 

[ftnfan62]

Baby BUS!!!

 

[BM16]

Once the run game go it’s footing it allowed everything else that followed on that drive.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Baby BUS!!!

Not sure if baby is right. Bus 2.0?

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Apparently Diggs is #3.

 

[ftnfan62]

Big time hold missed on that 2nd down. WTH!!

 

[ftnfan62]

We have had the absolute worst field position

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Shocked to see Day punt here.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

We have had the absolute worst field position

Embrace the suck

 

[Get Nasty]

Can we please not rush only 2 or 3 ever, it doesn’t work

 

[ftnfan62]

Baby Bus. Baby Gronk. It just works.

Time for long pass to #0

Time for long pass to #0

Feels like it's been years overdue.
