Officially Official ND @ GT Game Thread

[hvillebill]

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.

ND vs the vaunted 70th ranked GT defense missing their best player is something else entirely

A football game is four quarters. Not two.

Just FYI.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Anyone know if there are any recruits at the game that ND is after?

You’re boring

 

[Golson5]

Love the play calling. Love the execution

 

[Get Nasty]

Very good job staff having them locked in coming out of half

 

[NotreDomer1]

Love the play calling. Love the execution

Play calling has been excellent

 

[NotreDomer1]

GT ready to push the quit button I think

 

[FightingIrish44]

I’m not a fan of Louis Riddick. He’s acting like the NIU loss will matter if ND wins out. Not really. Lock to make the playoffs at 11-1. Close to a lock for home field at 11-1.

The NIU loss only really matters if ND is 10-2.

What you aren’t taking into account is our history of making these weak armed, over looked QB super motivated to make a name for themselves by playing great against ND. I wonder what the Northern Illinois QB’s stats have been since going nearly perfect against ND?

 

[HRC08]

Boy that God darn, Drayke Bowen doesn’t do anything at half speed!

 

[NotreDomer1]

Drayke Bowen is a hammer

I am taking it into account. You don't give teams a pass for playing poorly against poor competition. The reason they play poorly against poor competition is because they are not good enough to play great consistently against poor competition. They don't get a pass for it, their performance defines who they are in the hierarchy of teams in college football. And its not good enough.

We’re all well aware of ND’s struggles, Chase.

So Alabama/Vanderbilt is your double standard?

 

[FightingIrish44]

Excellent playcall.

 

[HRC08]

Best performance of the year for Greathouse?

 

[banmate6]

A TD would be nice. Rough start. But Irish on the cusp of pulling away like a top 12 team should.

As long as this game plan holds, looks good.

 

[HRC08]

That’s a giveaway there. Evans wide open over the middle of he would have just taken a look.

 

[futuredomer]

Just terrible and this punter sucks!

 

[Get Nasty]

Bad bad series for Leonard, very poor pre snap reads….

Can we buy a punter please

 

[Golson5]

Awful punt

 

[FightingIrish44]

That’s a giveaway there. Evans wide open over the middle of he would have just taken a look.

He probably had the option to throw either depending on the look from the defense. Or the play was just for Love.

Starting punter out for the season 😂

Of course.....because you can see the All 22

 

[banmate6]

RL is who he is. He just can’t reliably throw deep. Denbrock should plan around this.

Looked like a screen that got busted. Don't like that call. Give the QB options.

 

[Get Nasty]

They showed overload to loves side and he still throws it despite wide open Evans with no one over middle pre snap

 

[NotreDomer1]

He’s been ok on the back shoulders down the field. Collins should’ve adjusted better on the one. But yeah, throwing deep is definitely an issue

 

[chaseball]

So Alabama/Vanderbilt is your double standard?

There's no double standard. They are the poor performance vs Vanderbilt but they are also the great/elite performance vs the #1 team in the country (Georgia) the week prior. They are all of their performance. They also have the benefit of having the #1 85-man roster talent ranking in the country. Which means their upside is insane even if they've only played to a #6 F+ through 7 games.

He does plan around this. That's why the offense is as dink and dunk as it is with little to no quick strike playmaking

Whatever dude. 😂

 

[HRC08]

Bryce Young made that sack happen.

 

[FightingIrish44]

Yuuuuge stop.

 

[GDFan]

Watts playing like hot garbage today

 

[Get Nasty]

Huge block… score and out this away

 

[futuredomer]

Nice🍀

 

[NotreDomer1]

Watts playing like hot garbage today

Tough day for sure. He’s been close on a couple INTs though and help blow up the misdirection play on 3rd down in the first half

 

[Get Nasty]

Leonard didn’t throw it past Los, does he get lucky

 

[THUNDERSTRUCK111]

Not for nothing but…. Freeman coaching not looking good. Timeout before the half allowing gt to get a Fg try. Then not letting the 3rd quarter expire.

 

[futuredomer]

Not a playoff offense. QB is handicapped 😔

 

[NotreDomer1]

A couple very costly angles have severely downgraded his performance though
