Tennessee State Game Thread

Even against weak competition it’s obvious that our offense is elite at every spot besides tight end.

The defense jury is still out. I think they’re solid but I’m not convinced they won’t get exposed against better teams.

 

[ftnfan62]

When do you pull Hartman? 3rd quarter is up by 35?

 

[ftnfan62]

O’well. Back to the grind. Special teams not so special.

 

[NDinNJ]

I say Hartman gets pulled midway through 3rd

Maybe when Eli comes back.

 

[IndyIrish24]

No way is that targeting lol

 

[ftnfan62]

Threes refs are pathetic

 

[NDinNJ]

wow, how do they call targeting on that and not the earlier one.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

If that was targeting the hit by TSU was targeting.

 

[ftnfan62]

Coach has got to light them up. That was terrible.

 

[DieHard_Irish]

ACC refs still suck. They call that one, but nothing on Ford. I mean wow, every year these guys suck

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Liufau blitzes and gets half a sack! Yes!

 

[ftnfan62]

The Referee gods stepped in.

 

[Hofman19]

wow, how do they call targeting on that and not the earlier one.

My sentiments exactly!

Call both or call neither

 

[NDinNJ]

Loving the up tempo. Never saw this type of urgency when Rees was the OC.

 

[ftnfan62]

Doesn’t happen with TB or DP. Just doesn’t.

 

[NDinNJ]

Doesn’t happen with TB or DP. Just doesn’t.

or Rees as the OC

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

TSU or not....that was a DAMN nice drive.

 

[IndyIrish24]

Hartman is so damn good

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Hope Freeman and CO. do not take the foot of the gas. If the subs go in, keep running THE OFFENSE.....don't run 3 times and punt. Show the team that the mind set is different than in years past.

 

[DieHard_Irish]

Hartman is so damn good

Let's just temper it a bit until after the NCS and OSU games.

 

[bizzybecknd]

That was not targeting. Helmet was not hit.

Uhhh yes helmet was clearly hit. How else would he get clearly concussed? But hate targeting, glad it wasn’t called.

 

[tbone3114]

Well for us that wanted the2 and 3 stringers to get some playing time....that is out the window.

ND about to go down 10-7 to Tenn State....and we think we can beat OSU, So Cal,.......this shit gets old.

😂😂😂😂😂35-3 halftime lol

 

[Irishjohn68]

It’s hotter then hell here.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

😂😂😂😂😂35-3 halftime lol

Yeah I posted that in a pissed off time in my life.... LOL!!!!!!!!!
I am gladly eating crow right now.....

 

[IndyIrish24]

Way too early to pull Sam

 

[GDFan]

I’d give Hartman 1 more drive and score

 

[Hofman19]

We need to clean up the tackling....We have gifted them a few gainers that ought have been losses!

That is really the only negative today; and admittedly, I am nitpicking a bit!

Just cognizant of what will be necessary when we step up the level of competition in the coming weeks!

 

[ftnfan62]

Yea. I would like to see Sam this last drive. Regardless. Just one more then out.

We have yet to go over the top. Have to get that at some point

I wonder if the coaches passed notes.

 

[d1042]

get Sam work! all the starters need work as a unit; practice is coming to it’s end!

 

[IndyIrish24]

Hartman heisman campaign down the drain, Caleb Williams would be in chucking it. Sometimes we just don’t play the game, this is disappointing

 

[ftnfan62]

96 is a big boy.

 

[scubastevefl]

Coach Freeman is serious about winning games and not about Heisman stats.

Hartman came to ND to execute a pro-style offense and show he can play on Sunday’s. Not run up the score on D-2 opponents.

Hartman will be judged on what he does against Ohio Stste, USC and Clemson.

Angeli needs reps.

 

[NDinNJ]

Uhhh yes helmet was clearly hit. How else would he get clearly concussed? But hate targeting, glad it wasn’t called.

If you read my follow up comment I stand corrected, but unlike you, I can at least admit when I'm wrong.

 

[ftnfan62]

Feels like 2022 now.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

And if Hartman stays in one more series and takes a hit, blows he knee out, then everyone is screaming for Freeman to be fired.

I agree with the coach on this one.

True, just would love to see Sam take the Heisman from the nail polish sissy boy who resides in La

 

[tbonesays]

The punter needs reps

 

[ftnfan62]

Yea. Probably the right call but it’s like so many things in life. Your play or you worry.

Now that I have see how we look without Sam, I agree 100%. Wow we are bad.

 

[ftnfan62]

Man. That’s so uncatchable. Is that really a call?
