Officially Official ND @ GT Game Thread

You're proving yourself to be the idiot. You're not an ND fan. You're a hater and a troll just like Chase
No if they don’t get first down you still get it back with over a minute and a timeout but you don’t let them have an easier shot to score
I know that it's common practice to call a timeout late in a half when you think you can hold the opponent to a three and out and maybe get one more score, but against rush heavy teams like Georgia Tech I don't think it's a good idea. They would have run out of time before being able to set up for a field goal try, which we're lucky they muffed.

I agreed with the decision before. Be aggressive
Anything Freeman does you want to nitpick because you dislike him. It's okay. Try to be objective
I’m all for aggressive but they had a positive gain first down… you can’t be aggressive with timeouts then not be aggressive with the D play call to stop them.. we were in zone prevent a few times
You don’t call timeouts for the offense during their two minute drive. Unless you stop them short on a 3rd down that is. WTF are you talking about?
Didn't you say that F- has their offense ranked 15th in the country lol. You don't believe your own rankings now?
How many points does Tenn have?
And his stats are like 12/14 for 130 yards or something. All dinks and dunks but still. It's working!
We did it multiple times last year and we've done it this year
Teams do it all the time. If you trust your D you want the ball back. Esp after we just scored 2x
Really you never see that lol?
What does Tennessee have to do with anything? How is playing one of the best teams in one of the best conferences in a battle of top 5 & top 10 teams (Alabama vs Tennessee) at all the same as NDs performance vs Georgia Tech?
After a first down gain? Tell me which game we did that as I have them recorded and will rewatch. I’m not saying I haven’t seen it, but it’s rare and it’s STUPID. It almost contributed to us giving up 3 points.
Alabamas Defense is not good this year.
So yes it matters. Boring football Tenn offense has played the last 4 weeks now. But you won't mention that
It's not rare or stupid. We did it and scored at least 3x with Hartman last year and we've done it this year. No clue what game. You'd have to go back and watch
It's very common
They gained 4 yards and we're at the 24. Love the decision
I've thought it's been good in the past as well. I did not feel like this was a good time to try it though, tight game and they had a 2nd and 6. Not a 2nd and 12. Just my opinion, I'm not getting 8 million a year to make those decisions.
It’s not being scared to not call a TO when the other offense had a positive play during their two minute drive. It’s strategic. Now if the were thrown for a loss or had a penalty that backs them up, sure. Not when it was a positive play though and the offenses only real problem is their own clock management
Yeah, the Milroe INT in the red zone was just amazing and really shows BAMA’s dominance
Milroe 13-22 132yrds 1 INT. What an exciting and breathtaking performance
About time he threw a slant. After last week he showed that’s a great option for him.
Georgia Tech is a 5-2 ACC team with a mid 40s ranking (but they obtained that ranking with their two best players active). Those players are not active in this game. Its just a really mediocre team in a bad P4 conference and ND could only outscore them by 7 over the course of two quarters.
Alabama and Tennessee are two top 5-10 teams (points, yards, plays, etc. are expected to be difficult to come by in that kind of game).
ND vs the vaunted 70th ranked GT defense missing their best player is something else entirely
