Sun came up

[ftnfan62]

Disappointing, we snatched defeat from Victory. One sack. An easy pick. A screen pass failed. 10 men. A missed FG. Invisible PI’s, missing PI’s. A 3rd and 19. A 4th and 7. Down 10-0, instead of 10-6. You storm back.

Waking up, it’s an L. To the polls, it’s an L. To the committee. It’s a wash. Now you need help. You need OSU to run the table. You need USC to run the table. You need lots of losses. Hard to keep us out if you go 11-1 and your loss is 8” to the number 1 team.

#6 team

It would’ve been harder to keep us out at 12-0. I mean we could lose another game easily, but what happened last night shouldn’t have happened. It’s not the loss as much as it was the way we lost. If Al Washington is walking into the Gug this morning, we’re NOT a better team

Agree. Snatched defeat from victory.

Freemans track record of beating himself in under 20 games is alarming.

Last night being the worst example. 10 players on the field for 2 plays being a massive blunder which deserves every bit of criticism and mockery that comes with it.

The entire paradigm of ND having smarter players is suspect after last night and will for be a lasting heckle from its rivals for quite some time to come, as it should be after 10 on the field for the last 2 game deciding plays of the game.

Last night had nothing to do with smarter players, it had to do with inept coaches

Year two of on the job training…he’s doing fantastic…just needs more seasoning.

Fantastic?

He humiliated himself last night, then lied or further humiliated himself in the press conference in the post game press conference.

He is flawed as a coaching entity. There is no grounds to point to progress when the last bit of evidence is his worst mistake yet

 

[ftnfan62]

Coaching, there was a lot to like about Parker, Golden and MF when we are up 14-10 with 4 min left. They over came the poor 4th down and kick decisions.

Parker out smarted himself after Sam saved us on the fist possession after the stop. We have hindsight. And to think someone will tip a screen is hard to imagine. So I can’t say it was terrible. I just think you have to ask yourself in those situations “what’s the worst thing that can happen”. Any clock stoppage. So you play the odds.

Golden on rhe 3rd and 19. The player that made the catch had made every catch when they needed it. Put someone under and over. Benji and Cam had the others.

Marcus maybe the 4th and 1 at the 20. Same thing that cost us Stanford. Take points.

What you can’t blame them for is the missed FG, missed pick and some really missed PI and holding calls. Not sure even 10 men. Some player missed his call and you got no TO.

They really need a saftey and a burner. Not much else.

He took the blame without doing the Kelly throw under the bus routine.

PASS RUSHER TOO

PASS RUSHER TOO

Agree but that went both ways. Neither team got pressure. Maybe scheme.

Their DL hasn't been good at pressuring the qb this year. Either has ours

But in terms of our team needs, a PASS RUSHER is right at the top of our list

Not sure if this is sarcasm--but I agree with it.
