Notre Dame @ Stanford 1pm PT Official Game Discussion Thread

[iupjes2001]

This is Stanford's last game of the season and for a lot of their guys, the last game of their career... Of course they showed up amped up and ready to play.

Notre Dame doesn't want to win enough right now. It's not a talent issue. It's not a play calling issue... It's execution and want to. A bad Stanford team wants it more right now.

That is exactly the problem I have with the gameplan. You sit back, let an inspired team and qb get some success, and instead of having to make plays between the 20's you dink and dunk to get close and only have to make a play to score.

Especially hate it against a team like Stanford that has smart, disciplined players who are capable of taking advantage of what you're giving them. If you're the superior team playing those smart disciplined type of players you impose yourself on them and let them "do the math".

Jeff Quinn needs to go

This is becoming more and more apparent

 

[mirer03]

Kelly needs to be fired if they lose this game. The program has hit their ceiling under him, this is what you get now. Diminished returns.

No. Go away troll

Huge hole! Slips two plays in a row lol

Even Tony Jones' slow ass gets 10 yards on that 2nd down run had he not slipped lol. The field is a disgrace.

The painted areas tend to be worse as far as slipping when the field gets wet.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Does FSU still want him?

 

[BGI User 1596]

At least this helps recruiting.

They should know where Not to go!

 

[IrishInOntario]

The team captains need to rip the team a new one at halftime. If the players have any pride they’ll come out after half and play with rage.

Bro... They only have 7 captains. Do you expect them to do everything lol?

 

[Get Nasty]

Banks didn’t falsestart.... BS call .... with that said... claypool is wide open, Tony Jones is too slow to slip

Yeah thats just crap luck right there. Had a giant hole on second slip.

 

[NotreDomer1]

How did Book not see the drop there? Honestly

 

[ftnfan62]

Seems stupid. Just punt.

 

[BM16]

No. Go away troll

If Notre Dame was properly coached this game would be a runaway. Stanford is awful. So is Notre Dame under Kelly. Im tired of watching this, we're 10 years into Kelly and the same problems rear their head. It's not trolling, it's truth you don't like.

Booker told ND to shove it in recruiting and left Baltimore to head west. Now he's playing out of his mind, destroying ND's offensive line... As a redshirt freshman lol

Ouch!

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Minnesota competing in Big10

 

[BGI-CANADA]

This game is a microcosm of why this team is the most frustrating 9 win team to watch ever. We have the talent to destroy these guys and we’re going to make a game out of it instead

I am sure you have noticed, Kelly's MO for his 10 seasons at ND is - and has always been....play down to the level of the competition - maybe not in every game, but in way too many games for the liking of the ND Nation (except for Jack Swarbrick).

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Fleck looks awake in the sideline.

 

[Irishtennis]

This team sucks......poorly prepared in all phases !!!!!!!!!!

 

[IrishInOntario]

This has been a very "Notre Dame on the road" type of first half.

 

[NotreDomer1]

What an absolute disgusting half of football. Reeks of Michigan. The coaching staff (ALL OF THEM) should be embarrassed (but they’ll still be some here that defend them)

 

[IrishHerb]

Just likevs mich. this team didnt come prepared to play

 

[BGI User 1596]

This has been a very "Notre Dame on the road" type of first half.

Can they play twelve home games!

 

[BGI User 1596]

Polian and special teams saves the day! Lols

 

[IrishInOntario]

Nice block!

What a shit show of a football game.

 

[tkirish]

Omg! Did that actually happen. A blocked punt! I’m stunned!!!

 

[NotreDomer1]

Clark Lea must’ve game planned for the blocked kick too. He’s a genius

 

[chaseball]

I am sure you have noticed, Kelly's MO for his 10 seasons at ND is - and has always been....play down to the level of the competition

When you don't put bad teams away what does it say about the quality of your own football team/program?

There's no such thing as "playing down to the level of competition" you are either good enough to beat your opponent or you are not. You are either good enough to dominate your opponent or you are not.

This cliche that ND fans/media loves to use needs to cease to exist. It makes no sense whatsoever and it falsely suggests that ND is better than their performance when they are hanging tight with another mediocre/poor P5 opponent.

Tony Dorsett Jones showing his power.

 

[ftnfan62]

Needed to score there

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Solid effort by the ol

 

[Irishtennis]

The O line gets no push !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha Ha...only BK will get to talk. "I only have one thing to say to you men. Early to bed. Eat your vegetables. Nice guys finish happy. Polite. Read a book. Steady. Take your vitamins. Now let's go stay kinda close and hope it works out in a football game."

 

[NotreDomer1]

Aaron Banks going to try to block today?

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

OL. Quinn is sooooi bad

 

[tkirish]

NDs line sucks !!!

 

[NotreDomer1]

Drink!

 

[IrishInOntario]

ND's offensive line... What a terrible group of players, with a worse coach.

Hahahahahahaha they're embarrassingly bad. Brian Kelly ought to leave Jeff Quinn on the tarmac.

 

[ftnfan62]

#32 on the year

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Book bailing the OL again
