12-1 isn't mediocre---get on your meds
How many teams have won more than ND in the last 2 years.
You're priceless-----clueless but priceless.
Texas and LSU...the difference between us and them.

Florida and Texas were never pipeline states for us. We've got some guys out of there but not a pipeline. We've got more guys out of Illinois Pa Ohio Michigan than Florida and Texas.
We don't play second fiddle to Michigan or psu. Ohio has better recruiting advantages than us because
1. Their recent history (last 25 years) is wayy better than ours. Kids want to get to the league and win. OSU has been dominant while we went through Davie Willingham Weis. We're starting to change that but we're playing catch up still.
2. Ohio is a top tier state in terms of producing players. Indiana is not. Homegrown talent is easy to recruit rather not trying to steal from someone else's state.
3. Urban Meyer. One of the great coaches n recruiters of all time. They had him. We didn't.
4. I don't think they care much about academics and character. We do

UM and Stanford games look like good bets for an Irish W!
That means only UGA is a major (?).

know nothing of Va.
But a team with a weak OL is not going to beat ND’s defense. SC has a very questionable OL with little depth.
The strength of SC is the WR’s and RB’s. Both are totally dependent upon the OL. Beat the OL and SC is easy to beat.
Virginia has a pretty good team this year. As for SC, I think we'll be favored since we're at home, but it could be a very tough game.
did you happen to look at the shots of the fans in the stands? sweating and using programs as fans?
Must have been hot and very humid!
Which of these two teams played in the CFP last year?
You do realize ND lost to Clemson by less than Bama - right? Could've been worse score if Clemson didn't take a knee.
At least one player from Clemson said ND was tougher than BAMA but, in your eyes, it's ND that's not elite - ridiculous case you're trying to pass off.
Translation, "Kelly Sucks, Kelly Sucks, and ummmm Kelly Sucks some more". See, anyone can be a broken record. To be honest, I didn't ready one word of your post but you post nothing else but how bad Kelly's coaching is. You really should go apply for the job.
This is why fans make me laugh.
You want to say our offense is better than Michigan and Stanford?
You base this on?
We played Louisville.
Michigan's double overtime against Army?
Oklahoma needed OT to beat Army last year.
A game that finished in the 20's.
Yep...the very Oklahoma team who's offense was light years ahead of ours.
Stanford used a backup QB against a USC team that sone people here think is just so pathetic....but again don't really know.
Backup QB or not, Stanford only scored 10 offensive points vs. Northwestern, then only managed 20 on USC (which had given up 23 to Fresno State). As for Michigan, they only ran for 2.4 ypc against Army (45 rushes, 108 yards). And I watched some of that game. Army held OU's scoring down somewhat because of ball control the year before. But they were actually stopping Michigan pretty effectively.
Our offense looked better than either of theirs IMO. So yes, I think our offense is better than either Michigan's or Stanford's right now.
“So yes, I think our offense is better than either Michigan's or Stanford's right now.”
not even a doubt!
not even a doubt!
Stanford also scored a whopping 17 vs Northwestern. Their offense is below average. Michigan's offense does not look in sync with this new o coordinator.
Louisville might be better than people expected. They do have some talent and they now have a good coaching staff. They are going to surprise a lot of people
Again you're trying to connect dots and that's silly considering how early the season is.
Good morning Nostradamus
I don't know how to say this without being malicious but I will try my best.
This little habit you're in of saying this team only beat this team by..... or this team only scored this amount against team xyz...
really sheds light on just how little you understand the intricate details football.
You think you understand which makes you twice as ignorant.
Trying to connect dots of one team's success or lack of it to another team is foolish.
There is so much more to the game than score board watching.
Styles make fights.
Moreover your declaration of Louisville now having a good coaching staff shows even more lack of understanding.
You saying this based on what? Kirk Herbstreit and Folwer saying that during the game?
Well gee...Louisville was so bad the only direction they can even go is up.
Having said that they gave Brian Van Gorder on staff. That right there means they can only be so good.
He by far is the worst football coach I've ever seen.
88 and Chaseball are the worst wussie Notre Dame fans ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good afternoon toolbag
Let me be clear, I watched most of Stanfords first gm vs Northwestern and I watched their whole game vs USC. Their offense is below average to average at best. If you cant see that by watching thats on you. Learn about the game a little bit. I didnt say this team beat this team by a certain amount of points.
I say Louisville has a good coaching staff based on their head coach being a very good coach and smart coach to hire good assistants. I dont need to explain myself to you but you're so ignorant and foolish talking football I feel I have to.
nah, they just don’t understand, the bridge is washed out or the road is closed to go where they want to go.
They are banging their heads against a wall! They are spitting into the wind! They don’t recognize that there is always something to be unhappy about.
You see great offense?
I see absolutely terrible defense!
Giving up almost 500 yards passing is ridiculous.
600 total yards is terrible defense.
@irish4life888 of course! 88 is a self hating Irish fan who spews nonsense
If Tom Herman was our coach, pulling in top 5 back to back classes, going toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the SEC like LSU, the nature of my posts would be entirely different.
I'm tired of having to defend myself/and tired of getting criticism as some unjustified hater/griefer. I have very pointed criticisms about very important issues in the football program and i try to go above and beyond in providing evidence/data/etc. because I know that my opinions are unpopular among ND fans.
My criticisms are legitimate.
With the right coach NDs upside would be much higher than it is right now but people are so sold on Kelly's 12-1 record (even though the peripherals don't support that record) that most fans simply can't--or worse, don't want to--see the forest for the trees.
