Official Game Thread ... ND vs Cal

[d1042]

T



Yep.

Offense is hurting the defense, asking too much.

It's a shame because with an average offense ND could be a good team.

Ca. offense is way worse!

 

[GH56IRISH]

Brought 2 beers in for the first quarter thinking it’d get me to half. Went and got the rest of the 12 pack. Hoping something finally clicks with the offense. D is keeping us in it.

 

[Get Nasty]

The first step in solving this is realizing you made a mistake jack…. Clean house

 

[GH56IRISH]

And there it is. F.

 

[banmate6]

Ca. offense is way worse!

So far it is better according to statistics.

Pyne also just decided to contest your assertion.

🤷

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

I've had enough. Put in Angeli.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Please pull Pyne.....please pull him now.....

 

[Get Nasty]

freeman yelling for first time ever

 

[GH56IRISH]

Angeli. Now.

 

[d1042]

I sent Pyne a Pizza!

 

[GDFan]

Angeli. Pyne has done nothing

 

[TheSodFather]

Drew Pyne is trying hard to enter the Eric Chappell category of ND history today

 

[mva5580]

I don’t know what the hell people said to Pyne this week…..but it was nothing good. I mean the team has 2 losses….their season is basically over anyway. The pressure shouldn’t be made to feel that extreme.

This team, somehow, appears to be broken. I mean what the hell.

 

[GDFan]

Golden has to be losing his mind! Give the D some help

 

[banmate6]

Defense is good but not elite.

How many times does a defender clearly have a lane to the QB but whiffs on the tackle.

Every week this happens a lot.

 

[tbonesays]

I watch 5 minutes of night gallery turn it back in Cal has the ball...

And then scores casually

 

[Get Nasty]

Hart regressed

 

[GH56IRISH]

Angeli.

 

[Get Nasty]

Foskey missed sack…. Thank you leaders

 

[BGI User 1596]

Hart regressed

Good coaching does that!

The defense is not good.

The Marshall running back looked like Tecmo Bo last week against this unit

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

This team is so mentally weak. There is no focus.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

MF gets paid to make the tough decisions. Here come his first. Second half he has to replace Pyne. If not ND is 0-3 and MF is 0-4.

 

[d1042]

1st Q was a dryrun, for rest of the game!

Should have his resignation at half time!

 

[TheSodFather]

I’m not surprised Pyne is still in the game but I am disappointed

 

[GH56IRISH]

Meriweather in. Finally.

 

[deadirishpoet]

No first downs in the first qtr.......we aren't playing Bama or Uga...we are playing FREAKIN Cal!!!!!!!

Where's the discipline

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

It took 6 drives to get a first down. Unbelievable.

 

[banmate6]

This series looks promising.

Good blocking and running. A nice short pass. A set of 1st downs.

Maintain it and get some confidence.

Come on!

 

[banmate6]

Estime eked out 6 yard for a 3&4. Fine. Solid..finish and get the 1st down.

 

[TheSodFather]

Estime has no vision

 

[d1042]

A Touchdown? Is that even allowed!

 

[Get Nasty]

Why did pyne not hand it off?

 

[Harpo Marxist]

A missed field goal is totally appropriate.

 

[banmate6]

Ok, horrible execution on attempted handoff to let Pyne run on 3rd and short.

And no FG...but saved by a penalty. Questionable offsides.

Divine comedy.

 

[banmate6]

Ha ha.

Even announcer mocking ND for that gift offsides.

 

[GH56IRISH]

Hey hey. Ok.

 

[banmate6]

Wake up the echoes, a TD.

I'm hoping Pyne gets some confidence and shows more poise.

As they say, college football is an emotional game.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Some good play calls by Rees there. Especially the TD play.
