Inch by Inch. Play by play.

[Zorich 88]

Gotta get those 3 yards

 

[TheSodFather]

As expected Fowler and Herbstreit both have their lips full of OSU nuts

 

[TheSodFather]

Lovin the Hiestand Cam

Especially since it wasn’t him

 

[ftnfan62]

didn’t look like him but I thought maybe he cut his hair.

let’s Go D

We're playing this game like we're Navy
No snaps until >5 seconds on play clock
Mostly runs & high percentage short passes
etc. etc.

Little to no pass rush or playmaking.
Marist Liufau looks like a stud (he's everywhere)

Buchner has a really quick release

It almost feels like a mirage right now and we're all waiting for the OSU offense to put up a firework show.

 

[ftnfan62]

Win or lose, that first half we looked much more prepared than in that past.

not sure who should have been on 2 but we got lucky.

 

[ftnfan62]

Bad coaching there. You get the ball the 2nd half. Just take 2 knees

 

[Get Nasty]

freeman first bonehead decision

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

This was stupid! Either run the ball and go into halftime or commit to going downfield.

 

[ftnfan62]

freeman first bonehead decision

agree but he owned it. He said stupid about 10 times in the side lines.

I am pretty sure that he missed counted the time outs. Because after he realized it, he noted how stupid it was.

 

[Get Nasty]

Day will definitely imho try to run ball more second half, they had success last drive … lbs are getting too sucked in and losing contain

Should have known anyway but whatever. No consequence to that one.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Won the first half.
Just feel that osu will come out more aggressive in the second. Could open up some quick hitters that go big for us. We need to match them.
Lets go IRISH!!!!!!! Finish the job!!!!!!!

 

[Get Nasty]

On offense we need to run it and be more creative off rpo… at some point a wr is going to need to make another play… two catches so far… nothing to lenzy or Thomas so far

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Buchner has more passing yards than Stroud. Surprised to see that stat.

 

[Zorich 88]

Tommy and Al ate calling a good game

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Adjustments:
Offense:
Spread the ball around
Take a shot downfield at some point
Roll out Buchner
Tyree, Mayer, and Styles need to touch the football

Defense:
Keep doing what you're doing, however:
Front 4 needs to get better pressure
Foskey?? Where r u?
Put in Bothelo on obvious passing downs to rush
Corners Keep your guys in front of you

Special teams:
Keep doing what you're doing

 

[Harpo Marxist]

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

Ray Charles saw that hold......O lineman fisting a jersey.....c'mon.....

Oh and we need a turnover!

 

[Harpo Marxist]

OSU' will come out firing in the second half.....IF ND can somehow get a stop on that first possession......momentum is theirs for the asking.

 

[IrishBeer]

D Boyz need to start with a turnover!

Njigba is hurting, which helps us a lot. Brandon Joseph literally took his head off. Now he’s stiff.

 

[Harpo Marxist]

ND's D is not getting pressure on Stroud....and somehow...this D is holding up. They gotta put some heat on him.

 

[ftnfan62]

Sure wouldn’t hurt to grind out a 5 min drive to start and put 7 up. Keep it interesting

 

[ftnfan62]

I think ND’s line kinda shifted gears in Q2. Maybe some of those body blows with Estime and the line in Q4 come to be the diff.

 

[Zorich 88]

GOTTA CONVERT ON 3RD AND SHORT!!!!!

 

[ftnfan62]

Honestly against OSU and what I heard to not see a 21-3 or 28-7 seems like we evolved from the BK days. Let’s see if we can maintain and make the right adjustments for the 2nd half

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Should Freeman with an onside kick??? Lol.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Great job D!

 

[DieHard_Irish]

Bad coaching there. You get the ball the 2nd half. Just take 2 knees

No we didn't get the ball

 

[Zorich 88]

Wow 3 and out to start the half

Defense is flying to the ball

 

[HRC08]

Keep feigning the Jet Sweep. Clock, Clock and more Clock.

 

[ftnfan62]

Could have been a targeting

 

[HRC08]

Oh well… try harder next time. He can’t hit him high like that when he had plenty of time to pull up.

 

[ftnfan62]

Now Buch can’t buy a catch. Pretty sure that hit Lenzy

 

[Zorich 88]

Run the ball Tommy
