Official Game Thread ... ND vs Cal

[d1042]

ready for a blow out win ! rolling now! more pizza!

 

[HRC08]

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth? Very nice looking off the defenders there by Pyne. Hey… baby steps.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Wow Pyne forgot to under throw Tyree. (sarcasm)

Nice throw by Pyne. Maybe he settles down now. Looks like the Oline is starting to know the game is on them.

 

[Jvillate2]

Pyne QBRat is 125 at this point of the game. Just sayIng….

 

[TheSodFather]

Jason Garret is really triggered by these refs

 

[d1042]

Buchner won’t be able to get his job back!

 

[TheSodFather]

Pyne QBRat is 125 at this point of the game. Just sayIng….

Is his snap receiving percentage factored into that score?

 

[HRC08]

#62 could be flagged every single play

Always starts with the OL on offense. If they can play solid, the rest of the offense has a chance.

Like I said, even a casual like me knows the obvious about football.

 

[rgc7]

Wow! A big defensive let down !

 

[Powerful Pirates]

And the names on the back?

[Get Nasty]

Two drops called catches freeman doesn’t call timeout on either…. Brutal coaching continues

 

[Harpo Marxist]

We are witnessing baby steps.....but what comes after toddler? I forgot.

 

[GH56IRISH]

#62 could be flagged every single play

Yup.

 

[TheSodFather]

Pyne missed Mayer on the scramble

 

[TheSodFather]

Pyne seems to need Pee Wee open to throw downfield

 

[GH56IRISH]

So bad.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

This offense has scored 38 points in 10 quarters.

 

[TheSodFather]

This Punter really is exceptional

 

[HRC08]

How not to play, coach or officiate football!

 

[GDFan]

Why not throw Hail Mary at end of half ?

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

This Punter really is exceptional

He does get a lot of playing time.

 

[banmate6]

Well, by now I REALLY know the OL is some combination poorly coached and lacking talent.

And it's clear ND overall is basically learning on the job, not evidently doing it in practice.

I also thought a running play by Rees on 3rd and long lacked courage. But understandable after 2 consecutive false starts.

What a mess. I feel for Freeman. But this continues to look like a bust.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Pyne has difficulty with 5 yard passes.

 

[tbonesays]

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

It's like we changed gears, or coordinators.

Feel for freeman, it’s his fault

 

[TheSodFather]

Anyone else wonder why no Hail Mary after the timeout?

 

[IrishHerb]

Why punt on 4th and 10 with 4 seconds left in the half?

Throw a Hail Mary ... if it works, Great ... if not its the half. Geesh

 

[tkirish]

Coaching is bad. QB play is bad. Offensive line is lousy. I mean this is a truly horrible team with no identity.

 

[WhySeperateKnob]

He does get a lot of playing time.

Better get an IV in him at halftime or he'll start cramping up for sure.....

 

[tbonesays]

Why not throw Hail Mary at end of half ?

Because we don't deserve it.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

That's my frustration with Rees. He has his moments as a play caller. But he just lacks tempo or momentum. He doesn't build off of the success of one drive into the next.

 

[WhySeperateKnob]

I guess Freeman's recent conversion didn't take yet....

 

[rgc7]

Question: Did ND elect to receive the kick off , or did they lose the coin toss ?Am I wrong , or did ND
receive the kick off in all three games ?

 

[d1042]

punting team needed practice!

 

[TheSodFather]

If we see some adjustments in the second half they will be the first we have seen all year

 

[kev2225]

Ugly first half to go along with God awful uniforms.

Tommy is fine in my book.

HH has the key liability with the OL.

And the players themselves.

And, of course, Freeman, who is the CEO of the operation.

All in all, I get the player limitations, but I think a better coach would beat Marshall and Cal convincingly enough.

I will keep supporting and rooting for Freeman to succeed, but like I posted earlier...this has the look and feel of a bust.

I hope I am dead wrong.

Fair enough. There is plenty of blame to go around.
