3rd and goal from the 2 ... we are in the shotgun .... against Syracuse mind you .... against an 8 man front .... the RB is hit 1 yd behind the line of scrimmage by unblocked player .... no gain .... 4th and goal from the 2 .... still in the shotgun .... against a 9 man front this time .... Kelly's favorite play .... the WR jet sweep .... hit 2 yds behind the line of scrimmage .... TO on downs

These plays have low chance of success even against bad teams .... Told ya
 
ND's red zone offence sucks and they always lack a Killer Instinct.

This has been a problem every year that Kelly has been here. But don't bring up facts, some get really angry and offended.

2. Why ND can't bring Tyler Luatua into the game inside the 5 yard line as an H-back, line up in pistol and run the ball down undersized defenses throats for touchdowns, is beyond me. Actually, it's not, because it's something you have to practice and, yes, toughness and attitude can be taught. Remember ND's game plan for LSU in the bowl game? They simply kicked the Tigers ass up and down the field. They did so by preparing tough, scheming tough and playing tough. There is no excuse why with an offensive line the size of ND's, an H-back like Luatua, and a quality inside runner like Tarean Folston, why ND needs to run Jet Sweep, Wrap and Outside Zone on the goaline... Especially on back-to-back plays. Against Syracuse it may not cost you... Against many of the teams on the schedule, it will. Wedge block the damn thing, have Luatua meet the first man in the hole, and tell Folston that if he wants to play, this is his role.

Penny .... after your qoute is IIO's quote .... I think that most people consider him the smartest on this board ..... apparently he agrees vehemently with me .... we knew you know nothing ... but how do I say this ..... DUHHHHH ! ... go tell IIO how dumb he is .... LOL! :D

Do not pat yourself on the back. I do not think IIO is trying to prop your sorry A$$ up.I would say the Irish leave left Points on the field every week . the reality The Irish could have scored another 20-30 points in the first half against the Orange. When you are averaging 40 Points a game to say the offense has a major deficiency is ludicrous. Can it be improve? yes and some north south running could be a thing to strive for.
 
I've said it for years.

BK is great between the 20's. Redzone he's utterly atrocious.

And the closer we get to the goaline the worse we are.


Horrible horrible coach.
No sense of feel.

Did he call a timeout real quick before punting this week. ?

IIO said what I have been saying for years .... and he did it in a no-brainer fashion .... as he said ... even though it didn't cost them against a very poor team .... it is likely it will if ND ever gets to the big stage against a good team again .... that might be a big if right now with Kelly

Was IIO trying to pump me up? ... of course not ..... but he did .... truth hurts sometimes :D

That is a yes ..... I don't know if I've seen a football coach waste more TO's .... I say football because I don;t think Mike Brey has used one correctly ever ..... But yes .... 4th down .... call TO ..... then decide to send out the punt team ..... you should already have these types of decisions made before they happen .... stupid ... at least he hasn't called TO yet this year before the 1st play after the opening kickoff ... maybe this week ... LOL!

Why don't you explain why this is so stupid ... I bet you can't ..... having no problem keeping Kelly is a subject different from being stupid for not having a short ydg package ..... nice try changing the subject .... point stands .... :)
 
Well stop the presses!!!! Holy Shit!!! After all these years Bugsnot finally got someone to agree with one of his posts...and not only somebody...but the Grand Poobah of Pigskin Prognostications!!! Hey Bug...copy this thread and head on down to Chico's...show all your handjob buddies...maybe get a coupla free cold ones out of the deal.

And most importantly...put this on your resume for the HC gig when Kelly gets canned. When you walk into Dr. Jack's office delivering him his donut and Cafe Latte you can tell him that IIO has given you his stamp of approval. Although I have no clue as to how you are gonna coach the football and basketball teams at the same time...you do know hoops starts in 10 days....

This year we are at 88% in the red zone. One of the top programs. This is up from 82% last year and 80% the prior year.

Doesn't seem to be the closest alligator to the boat to solve.

Well your numbers are correct and I guess if you consider 50th in the nation as as one of the top programs, then that is up to you.

I guess it is an improvement of our average 80th in the nation, but that's not gonna cut it when the defense is ranked 106th in total defense.
 
So our offensive guru keeps us somewhere around 75th in the nation in red zone efficency. He's yet to get Notre Dame in the top 30 of scoring offenses. Why does this guy still have a job? No major bowl wins and numerous terrible losses. Looking at these stats just solidifies my opinion of Kelly as a coach.

Not trying to defend Kelly but I am sure I will receive grief. I await it and relish in it cvgr. :) and others. Vanderbilt was #1 and the record of the commodores was ding ding ding was 4 and 8 . There were some good teams in the top 50 but there were some duds there also. So are the play calling geniuses going down some rabbit hole. I dunno. I would say this Kelly probably should call more north south run plays and not as many stretch zone plays in the red zone.
 
It's 50 because of the ties. Let's be honest if there are 20 teams that are 100% and the next is 99 that makes you 21? Go by the achievement. Almost 90% of the time they score. That's up from last year after losing a ton of talent. If anything they should be well down on offense. Picking on BK for averaging 40 per Points a game and scoring 90% in the red zone seems like a nit. Defense, no problem. Pick away. This just does not appear to be our issue.

I'm going to resist calling you names. Count the number of teams with a higher percentage than ND.

The argument was more of an argument against Kelly as a whole. Look back to the start of his tenure and it has been an ongoing problem. I provided the info. So either you were just didn't care to look or just too lazy.

Yes this year has not been bad in the red zone. Not spectacular though either.

We have played some of the worst defenses in the nation so far. Duke, Texas, Nevada and Syracuse have given up a load of points to everyone.

That is only 6 posts whining about me since I was here last ..... hey! .... that's not a tumor in your head ..... just me ..... nice to see you after your last disappearing act .... what family emergency this time? ... LOL! .......... also nice to see you haven't lost your classy side ..... :D
 
Hey numbnut...how about posting that thread where IIO says he agrees with you? I am sure you have it posted on your basement wall next to your Barney poster. We all know that you are a certified liar so I for one would like to see the thread....and BTW...how does someone "vehemently" agree with someone on a message board? Did IIO actually use your name? Cuz, just because he said something that you like doesn't mean he doesn't know you are freaking moron...and as far as family emergencies...I believe that was some dude named Seahawkfan...I ain't him...

Those numbers are fine against middle of the road to lower tier teams, but it will be hard to put those numbers up against very good teams

Red zone offense which was a big problem in the past though it seems to be getting a little better but it's hard to judge how good until you go up against a top-notch opponent

I understand coach Kelly's philosophy of no full backs allowed, but at some point he might want to consider it don't you think?

Here are the rankings of total defense on teams that ND has faced so far.

Syracuse 122
Texas 87
Duke 49
Michigan St 29
Nevada 103

When it is 4th and 1 and you need the first down to kill the clock or keep a drive alive can you do it? Can you impose your will on your opponent? If the answer is no you will never contend for championships. If the answer is yes, you are OSU, Bama, Michigan etc. Championship level teams. Solid running game, great defense, excellent special teams. Big boy Football.
