Officially Official ND @ Texas A&M Game Thread
- Thread starter Shakin' Down the Thunder
- Start date
Very disappointing passing game and early running game. Everyone wanted to bounce outside
Is Riley really that inaccurate or tough environment and tough d?
Need to see a lot more out of the wrs
Te play especially te blocking was terrible
Nd oline leonard and love (jd one run) played really good and hard late
Defense was pretty awesome the entire game other than penalties

Was worried about kicking FG. Freeman showed some balls
Hmmm. Yet in every post where you defended the SEC, and touted their schedule, you always claimed AM was a tough game ….now they are middle of road?
Not liking Marcus having more top 20 wins than Kelly after just 2.1 seasons?
Agreed. First drive didn’t look great. They fished in though. Offense didn’t look great.
All negativity after a 10 point road win with a QB who didn't play in the spring, new OC, inexperienced OL, and didn't have Evans or Faison
Great win, pulled together in the 4th quarter was great to see. First game, lot of mistakes that will easily be corrected. Go Irish!
As usual. You have the jive five that shut all over the team until we win…and then crickets
Guessing Chass has them playing a blame game called 1596 in Indy ….
It’s difficult to schedule a good SEC/BIG team as an independent. We have to schedule around their conference games schedule.
Looking at the rest of our schedule this year, I say we will take what we can get as we need as many marquee wins as possible for playoffs seeding.
Leonard completed 60% of his passes
The running game average 5.8 yards per carry
Both against a good defensive team.
What are you talking about?
Super happy to improve after a win but it was really really ugly offensively
I’m concerned Riley and the wrs aren’t good enough to give us a legit shot at title
Need to light it up and build confidence next 3 weeks
60% completion is bad when almost all passes are dink/dunk… you expect over 75% on those
5 yards per pass attempt proves my point
Super happy we won, but we gotta get pass game going
Did you notice the guys in the maroon jerseys?
Did you notice the pressure, the very significant pressure they put on Leonard
Or were you just listening to the game on radio ?
I hear all of the complaining about the offense and agree that at times it was offensive.
However I wonder if some how we were able to turn Adon’s INT into a touch down and the final score was 27-13 if people would feel differently?

Way way better than Kelly in this category . Also resonates so much with the recruits. He is genuine.
And already has 8 wins against top 25 teams after 2.1 seasons. Kelly didn’t get his 8th until the last game (bowl game against LSU) in his 5th season.
Did you see the wide open receivers and rbs and TEs he missed? Of course there was pressure, but denbrock set up mostly easy throws
Kelly had 15 wins agains ranked opponents his last 5 years….. that’s the program freeman inherited
Kelly just had maybe 1 or 2 wins vs top 10 in that run… that was his issue
So 15 in 5 and Freeman already has 8 in 2. He's going to pass 15 with a quickness.
Missing Evans in the back of the End Zone was bad and missing him so badly was worse.

Actually he had 12 ranked wins, not 15, in his last 5 years, and 5 in the last 3 years of his tenure (which is a better indicator). So admittedly Freeman started with a better program (minus the criminal lack of talent in the QB room and the back end) than Kelly did in 2010, but Freeman’s wins over Clemson and at TAM, plus close losses against OSU, resonates better
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciated what Kelly did. He just never did enough in recruiting or in motivation to get us to the top
ND isn't relevant though.
Yes.
LSU lost.
Oregon beat Idaho by 10 after scoring with 2 mins left.
OSU only had 10 pts against Akron at half, at home. UGA had 6 pts
We see what Texas is made of this week.
By the way, SEC went 1-3 against ranked teams this weekend. Sounds like they will get dropped to AA now
