Defense was out of position at times and missed tackles. I'm not crazy about van gorders scheme but man is it better than diaco's scheme. Something to remember, referred set this game up for the offense it's part of the reason there isn't a dominating d out there. Kessler is one of the nations best qbs unless you pressure him. Second half he got happy feet when the game got tight.....ball game
You're just upset that the Irish beat you're Trojans!!just WOW!
to think the players n staff were talking how focused they were on this game!
This game has the ability to shape the teams short run fortunes +-
Should posters also disregard you're behaviour,when you put up a pix,denoting someone you didn't agree with as having his head up his ass??if someone has threatened another poster, that is a conviction of their mental desease! they are truly demented.
And they are not to be disregarded. The prior Mods were of the opinion that 'to be precise' aka 'continuously' aka many ID's was someone tbat was deserving of being banned and monitored.
Paz, that said if it was him, disregard him. I do. Pretty good idea of the origin there. And cannot answer the 'meet' threat as that would give place to the 'smurf'.
If posters here tolerate or allow such language or behavior then they are as 'sick' as that poster. It is the resposibility of the forum members to deal with such behavior.

Oh, as for my OP. I do believe if this team lost last night, that they would have wasted the best opportunity they would have,for years, to beat SC. And recruits would have thought the same. You do not lose to a team with significant injuries, off sanctions less than 1 recruiting session, and having an interim coach for 5 days on the job, and you are playing at home, If you cannot beat them then, then....
So, this was an exceptionally important game!
But, my long attitude and criteria for a success as a ND coach is BEAT USC; under any circumstances.
Whatever the disadvantages (sactions, coaches, injuries) SC has/had I give a R-A!
Kelly has a 4-2 record! for me, W: that is a winning season! WELL DONE!
(I acknowledge there are 11 other games, but...)
Thanks SullyYou're just upset that the Irish beat you're Trojans!!
I was touting SC talent when you guys had you're collective heads in the sand.
SC is in total disarray; they had Morris Buttersworth as HC for most of the season!
My frustration was if you cannot beat this wreck of a team then what does that say?
And unlike most here, I knew the importance of a good showing in front of the prospects; this was an ubber important game within a game.
Your criteria, Waving pom poms makes you a fan! ND dodged a bullet.
If you think giving up 600 yds in about 3 Qtrs. is consistant with good defense, then what can one say to enlighten you?
When Weis's team did that vs tOSU it was considered terrible! like 8-4, I guess 600 yrds is now a new 'good' D?[/QUOTE
The only stat that really counts is 41-31!
Well, sorry ND had to ruin your night and come back to win...... by double digits!!This will be the best shot Kelly has to beat SC; if not tonight, he will never again beat SC as ND HC!
SB --Well, sorry ND had to ruin your night and come back to win...... by double digits!!
Been said before and it can't be overstated - DON'T post during games.
Wait until the game is over. Unless, of course, you want to look foolish.
This will be the best shot Kelly has to beat SC; if not tonight, he will never again beat SC as ND HC!
^ "we" your the judge? or maybe you're "they"
one opinion is same as another! narcissism?
IJ: answer this:
is the defense playing good football?
does ND continue to have issues in the RZ?
if you answer no to the first and/or yes to 2nd , you are part of "you".
HaHahaHa!!! What the heck is "Mr. 22,000" talking about? HaHaHa !! He is a funny man !!
tackling is bad at every level.. not just an nd issue. nfl is worst of all.The tackling is terrible and they're still giving up a lot of points. I'm happy they stiffened up in the second halves of the last two games, but they're bad fundamentally and just bad. Just my opinion.
anyone who expects a perfect game is foolish. they don't exist.1st garbage is not a word to use when talking about young men (44 obviously decribes the play)
The defense is bad from plan to execution.
The offense continues to have RZ gaffaws! There are an inordinate # of blunders inside the 10.
ND left at least 17 points off the board in the 1st half!
If execution/discipline is not part of coaching, then what the hell is?
(348, had mentioned that ND needed to stay close till late 2nd half when the cold weather might get to the California kids. was weather a factor?)
You mean the other teams are taught to block and tackle? Next thing you know teams other than ND will start giving out scholarships.anyone who expects a perfect game is foolish. they don't exist.

Nice avatar......mine is from Halloween Vegas......was EPIC!

Certain posters get mad when ND wins because winning interferes with their I hate Brian Kelly because he runs The Spread agenda. They would rather see ND lose under Charlie Weis's Pro Style Power Attack than win football games under Brian Kelly.
That Power running attack under Davie, Ty and Charlie defeated the Trojans 3 times in 13 years and ND lost 8 in a row when Kelly came to town. So to borrow a line from the previous poster.
Brian Kelly is 4-2 versus USC and you and ALL your miserable brethren are jack asses.
Go to Ann Arbor and lick Jim Harbaugh's wounds for him.
Yeah, let's ignore the near NCAA death penalty..... Would you care to share a major bowl win? Sun? Pinstripe? Music City?The total lack of football knowledge here is amazing. USC recruits some of the best players in the country and will and should give Notre Dame a struggle every time they play. A win over ND's biggest rival is always a good thing and Brian Kelly control I use to show he gets it and may well be doing his best job in a very successful coaching career at Notre Dame.
