Temple Game thread

So far so good. #56 may have held on Wimbush's td run.

 

[Crabwalker]

Noticed that also

 

[Crabwalker]

Defense needs to step it up against the run or next week is going to be rough

 

[impossibilityofreason1]

Yeah the two Georgia rb's and Eason the qb are huge upgrades over Temple.

 

[impossibilityofreason1]

Adams is insane.

 

[NDIRISH53]

Tuck Femple!

Adams is insane.

Big time ball player

 

[IrishMike409]

Adams will be playing on sundays next year.

 

[deadirishpoet]

Defense is looking good

 

[Hofman19]

Keep finding ESB....Last year, we had a habit of forgetting about him in the 2nd half of games.

I'd like to make a strong impression on his younger brother in the hopes of maybe stealing him from USC.

Defense is looking good

There are some holes but so far fundamentally sound. Something to build on if they play hard for 4 quarters going into Georgia.

 

[impossibilityofreason1]

Nice arm non tackle Martini. Put Coney back in.

 

[echowaker]

Thought Morgan was invisible on that drive.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Lets see if there has been a change. In the past we give up a TD and give the opponent momentum.

 

[LH24ND]

Hate to say it but so far the defense looks the same. Mauled up front and DBs way to far off receivers.

Georgia won't be fun unless they get things changed.

The tackling needs work but I haven't seen the BVG era blown coverages.

Yes. My thoughts too. Georgia, USC, etc will be track meets.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Nice stop by the D. Need to get pressure on the QB. Georgia will eat us alive if their QB can stand back there all day.

 

[impossibilityofreason1]

Yeah looking at the stats. 207 yards for Temple. Nearly 4 yards a carry. 80 yards rushing so far.

 

[Stripping_Midget]

Curious to see 2nd half adjustments by Elko to see what type of coaching we have

Yep.

 

[echowaker]

Nice opening half. Would like to have seen him nail the field goal. Need more from tillery and Morgan.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Happy with the lead but need some work on some things. Pressure QB and Oline start opening some big holes. GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!

Temple came in feeling good about the game and getting some recognition across the country I like the way the defense is playing you are correct

I imagine it's going to be a work-in-progress for the first 4 - 5 games maybe

How many times will Martini miss tackles?

 

[irishstuey81]

How many times will Martini miss tackles?

You aren't kidding. This is going to be a problem with faster teams.

 

[Hofman19]

Drue Tranquill playing well....The Rover position seems to fit him nicely...He is leading like a captain needs to.

Hayes also looking impressive !!!

 

[HRC08]

Very predictable screen call. Would like to see some more Jet Sweeps instead of screens. Wimbush just isn't selling it well. He's young. He'll get better at it.

 

[deadirishpoet]

3rd sack of the day

PROGRESS!

 

[Stripping_Midget]

D looked good there. Some hope we get better as the season goes on.

 

[Hofman19]

Atta boy, Coney!!! Players make plays!!!

 

[IRISHJD98]

How many times will Martini miss tackles?

He'll miss fewer if Coney keeps making plays.

 

[impossibilityofreason1]

Man with Van Gorder here it is 28 to 17.

 

[impossibilityofreason1]

He'll miss fewer if Coney keeps making plays.

Haha no doubt.

 

[HRC08]

Didn't see much of that last year. I mean we saw guys blitzing but it was usually followed by long plays by the opponent.

 

[tbonesays]

too close to overturn

 

[impossibilityofreason1]

Haven't scored since the 2nd and turnover on 2 straight possessions. Still letting inferior teams hang around.

That's what ND's done for years. They start strong on offense at home and then settle into complacency. Big drive here.
