Officially Official ND @ Texas A&M Game Thread

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

I like that the front 7 is able to get pressure. Just need to calm down and let the game come to them.

 

[ZibbyQuinn]

Defense seems oversold

Good lord

 

[BGI User 756]

Good lord

Exactly. Great observation 10 mins in

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Need to find some semblance of a running game. A&M are sending everybody down hill. Maybe a screen or a RPO and go over the top?

At least the team didn't come out with the deer in the headlights look.

 

[GDFan]

So far another offensive coordinator that forgot how to coach.

 

[BGI User 756]

Thought Collins had gator arms that first pass last series

 

[IndyIrish24]

Swiss cheese

 

[ZibbyQuinn]

Running up the middle could be concerning. Don’t love our depth at DT, Hinish and Onye will see a ton of snaps tonight and don’t love that match up

That's where Rubio and Ford careers not working out hurt us. Rubio could still return though.

if Riley can make that pass that might have been a TD. We need those breaks on the road with tough team

 

[ftnfan62]

Need a stop.

 

[Pennick4]

Elko needs to work in a salad once in awhile.

 

[HRC08]

Denbrock better have used this time to draw up a running play for Love. We can’t punish him and leave him on bench for 1.5 quarters.

RB was wide open. I get that he threw it sideways with a guy running straight at him. But he should have slightly floated it and it would have been complete.

 

[ftnfan62]

Good stop.

Swiss cheese

Ok skippy

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Need a nice long scoring drive right now. Defense needs a break and we need to quite the crowd.

 

[Bogie8870]

Okay time to shake off the jitters and play like we're a top 10 team.

 

[chaseball]

how are any major FBS athletes even getting tired with these 5-min commercial breaks every 10 mins?

 

[Harpo Marxist]

The defense will have to win this game. Offense is Keystone Kops. We can't run the ball...that is obvious. Defense must avoid penalties...and offense must produce maybe 10 points...this offense is tepid, clumsy and green.

 

[Harpo Marxist]

If you can't run the ball it is so hard to win a game like this.

Youth on OL showing up right now

 

[IndyIrish24]

Denbrock = Overpaid

 

[Fightingirish595]

54 beat twice

 

[GDFan]

Garbage!

 

[BGI User 756]

Denbrock = Overpaid

lol, we got your number Skippy. Purdue grad

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Denbrock what the hell? 2 QB runs for no yardage. No handoff to the RBs. What r u doing?

 

[futuredomer]

Wow does ND ever look good on offense against real defenses?

 

[HRC08]

Or we can just throw it 50 times.

 

[GDFan]

No wonder there aren’t any WR recruits that want to come to ND

 

[futuredomer]

Is Love hurt?

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

A turnover would be huge here.

 

[raulduke_007]

A turnover would be huge here.

Id take a 3 and out. Defense gotta get tougher against the run

 

[BGI User 756]

Who said they are tired?

 

[Harpo Marxist]

This offensive line is MAC level. He has to substitute on the left side. TAMU will take over this game if ND cannot run the ball. This defense has held it sown with stupid penalties.....but it will wear down if the offense can't move the ball north and south. Every pass is east to west...that won't back up TAMU's defense. Leonard is better than advertised as he is the only offense on the field.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

And why hasn't Denbrock targeted the backup safety? Should have done that right when Brooks was ejected.

 

[theskibro]

A turnover would be huge here.

Our D is not all that. Very disappointing.
Our offense- there is none. Terrible, predictable calls so far Sick of us sucking on offense

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

13-3 in about 2 minutes and 25 seconds.

 

[BGI User 756]

Like that Swiss cheese defense

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Yes! Yes! Yes!
