USC in game thread

[Catholicfan95]

Looks like 4-2-5, man deep high safety. Not trying to give up anything over the top. Good ball pressure so far. Curious to see run defense throughout game! Go Irish

 

[Catholicfan95]

12 personnel first play...good sign

 

[Patrirish]

PAC-12 field crew !

Yikes !

 

[BGI User 1596]

Jones is fast.

 

[Catholicfan95]

First throw was awesome and on money, second throw to finke, he looked a little tight ball came out a little low. Love the personnel grouping so far

 

[deadirishpoet]

Irish had a great opportunity there, but those pesky holding calls SUCK!

 

[IrishHerb]

Just hoping our D can keep use contained, especially their receivers.

 

[hoopsstar12]

They should keep lobbing the ball to Claypool. Total mismatch.

 

[HuddleBurger]

Irish need to wrap up when they tackle.

 

[BGI User 1596]

USC running all over the d

 

[BGI User 1596]

The cold is really bothering USC.

 

[NotreDomer1]

Should not have been a penalty

 

[Patrirish]

Why NBC picked those two announcers is beyond me.

 

[Catholicfan95]

Let's keep tempo and score here

 

[BGI User 1596]

Book looks terrific

 

[Catholicfan95]

It's early but why are we not attacking again like first play? Great mismatch out there with Claypool, bring back that 12 and let's go up the seem.

Early yet, playing chess

 

[beachcardinal]

Clay scripts 15 plays. Once those run out he starts to lose it.

Outstanding job picking up the blitz too

Tackle has got to go out there and at least make a quick step to clip then recovery to give Book time

 

[VTND]

It’s going to be a loooooong game.

 

[IrishHerb]

Our O play calling is terrible.

 

[Patrirish]

If ND can’t run the ball, they’re in for a difficult game.

So far the running is anemic !

 

[deadirishpoet]

Irish kerps it close, and then adjust well for the second half

 

[rgc7]

Hope the offense can put up some points ?

Offense has to eat some clock or the defense will be hard pressed

 

[Patrirish]

Unlucky bounce on the fumble

Are you saying that TOP is important ?

 

[Catholicfan95]

Elliot is getting burned, he needs to shape up and not give the inside move. He has safety help, play aggressive

 

[HuddleBurger]

Good deal holding them to a field goal. Dodged a bullet on that Elliot pass play over the middle wide open.

 

[SIhoosier26]

We're going to have to rely on the run in this one, both lines are getting a good push.

 

[VTND]

PAC 12 refs are aweful lol.

 

[Patrirish]

Receivers dropping balls doesn’t help.

 

[rgc7]

Take that side line pass and shove it !

 

[SIhoosier26]

Great play call there, almost got Finke killed.

 

[VTND]

Why is fink still seeing the field?

 

[HuddleBurger]

Geez, that screen pass is freakin scary. Looks like a pick 6 waiting to happen.

 

[tbonesays]

I don't remember the last time I couldn't see the safety blitz coming before the snap.

 

[NotreDomer1]

I fvcking hate Chip Long

 

[Catholicfan95]

End of Q1....

Conservative play calling
Inaccurate throw on 2nd down
Penalties

Need to shape up

 

[SIhoosier26]

I fvcking hate Chip Long

He's horrible
