    He’s going to start next year at either safety or corner. No reason for him to transfer.

    and crawford can come back for a 6th if he wants most likely.

    Id say griffith and rutherford/wallace are the other guys to look at

    Crazy how better he looks than Okwara who seems to have disappeared (granted against two mobile QB’s in gimmicky offenses). Need both to step up next week.

    hi friends. I have a 2 month old baby, so I haven't been keeping up with football as much as usual.

    what would you guys characterize as your team's strengths and weaknesses? key players?

    thoughts on next week's matchup?

    I'll hang up and listen.

    we dont have linebackers and our QB sucks. Yall will run all over us and wil easily.

    if you guys somehow are going to want to pass we are actually good

    You may think they're doing the reverse jinx, but unfortunately that's not the case. We struggled to move the ball on the ground against new Mexico today, and book has looked shaky since late November last season. Our lbs are easy to run out of position so RBS should have a number of opportunities to bust big chunk plays.

    Things we learned against New Mexico.....

    Starting DE’s are still mia
    Starting LBs still are mia
    Kyle Hamilton is fun
    Braden Lenzy is fast
    Ian Book continues to miss wide open reads
    The RBs left are bad
    New Mexico is bad

    This staff is 24-4 in its last 28 games so that’s really good when looking around cfb

    I am going to the UGA game next week and Iam concerned this game is going to get out of hand in the 2nd quarter. Our offense looks like shit. Our defense gives up too much on first down.

    Convince me otherwise.

    This is all good and well but you guys need to stop going to the UGA game day thread and giving up one week in advance. I admit I am not expecting a win but damn, have some self respect and stop being pussies. That's so fucking soft. You're better than that.

  37. I think i am a bit more optimistic than most in this thread (which is not saying anything) but I mean ND against a really good team on the road the last 30 years has won like what? a game? (never forget #fivewide) I hope they win and they can win but I'll believe it when I see it

    The only way we'll win is if Clashmore Mike returns and takes a dump on the chest of that worthless Uga. Don't see it happening.

    nah we can actually win but we need to force UGA to go through the air and back on our DBs & DEnds to make plays. Gotta be very aggressive on Defense and the offense needs to start doing the things they are good at

    We lead cfb in turnover margin

    3rd in opponent passer rating
    121st in 3rd down conversions

    Basically one fatal glas thusfar against bad opponents but there ia stuff to like

    Sucks looking around CFB and seeing guys that should be on ND right now play well:

    Yeast, Adebo, Hicks, and Werner would all be nice to add to this defense

    Book is maddening, he starts so slow all the time. He is always off in the first quarter.

    It would take a minor miracle to beat Georgia, i think Nd will take a good beating but this team is not a disaster. I hope the ol can start playing better. RBs are not helping them though. This is the type of team that will get better throughout the year. I think we will feel a lot better about them when everybody is back and when the new pieces are starting to feel more comfortable.

    I wish the Georgia game would be in a couple of weeks, this is too soon for this team

    Just one drive for jurk was very weird, what was the thought process there? Jurking it too much can be detrimental but not enough can also be an issue

    Yeah that was strange. All I can think of is that there will be fewer opportunities to get Clark in so they made the most of it, but I still don’t think it makes a ton of sense unless they have given up on jurk
