We won’t be 12-0. Back to mediocrity. Recruiting is weak. We will regress from talent perspective. No great skill players. Even the high power OK offense couldn’t dominate Bama. It’s a lost cause. We need a conference championship to look forward to.

What! next you’ll be telling us Santa Claus isnot real!

 

[Toby Smart]

I don't care about any message board predictions. Many times they are wrong anyway, but, I do know I had a blast this past season leading up to the Clemson game. 12-0 is fun anytime and I wouldn't mind repeating it again in 2019. Don't stop now boys!

Don't you know that you're not allowed to be realistic and objective around here? How dare you!

Love announced he's going pro.

Having a conference Championship isn't going to change recruiting. The issue is an admissions and that's not going to change.

 

[Ara64]

The problem really isn't admissions as I've unsuccessfully pointed out on many occasions. It's the rigorous schedule that they must face once they become students. Most elite athletes don't want to start their day at four or five in the morning and go well into the night studying. They choose a less path of resistance to the NFL. I understand these guys moving on the NFL after their junior season. They are tired of school, want the Big Bucks, and the challenge of the next level. I also think it's incredibly nearsighted thus a bonehead decision to leave school without a degree. The money often dries up but the education follows you for the rest of your life. I must agree with that former basketball coach from that other Indiana University, get your education.

Love and Coney will be hard to replace, we saw that evidence in Q2 of the BCS.

Drew was a leader on that D, role model. Someone will have to step in that role.

JT occupied double teams all year. This was ND’s run.

Unlike others, we usually take a step back after a run like 18. We need time to develop players. We had close games early should have given us development time and when the second team defense played, teams drove.

Pointed out, we do have talent and we do have a much better program than before.

UGA lost lots of players, we catch them early. Could be good for us. They have an excellent QB and back to back top 5 classes. So we are not going to “out talent” then.

USC will be all grown up when they come to town. I think they have a good coach, not great. BK is a better coach but they too can out talent us. Lean to us at home.

Michigan has lost 2 in a row to us, really kind of bad. Be tough to beat at home.

I’d say in those 3 games, 2-1 would be over achieve and 1-2 more likely. You got top 10 teams as away games. Hard to see winning both with those defensive losses.

Offensively I think we are better. The line should be improved. Lots of WR talent and TE talent. Need a RB to step up.

Defense back a notch, offense up a notch. Same team overall. Brutal road schedule.

11-1miracle season and a bid.

10-2 great season and a NYD bowl.

Are you a good lea?

 

[hoopsstar12]

What DB kan we still recruit 2019 to replace Love? We need another top DB now!

 

[GoldCountryND]

Tillery gone too right? We have so many holes to fill. We’ve recruited well but show me a Dexter Williams or maybe another Will Fuller at WR. Don’t have those guys. We’re gonna have to defeat teams with a very methodical approach. Against the Bama’s or Clemson’s we do not match up.
