*Notre Dame* - We'll See You In Hell (Miami in August)

I have to think if Howard takes this many risks against our DBs there will be at least one int

 

this game is over. Can we wear gold Michigan wing helmets so Ohio state play like cucks against us? I'll make that sacrifice for a w

 

this is the way.

 

We're certainly not going to sit in a soft zone.

 

Playing zone against this Ohio State team is certainly a choice

 

Not yet, but….

 

Son it’s going to be OSU and ND is going to lose. And that’s OK

 

Payne - 3rd down back (lost for season in the spring with torn ACL)

Kia - backup LB (lost for season in preseason with torn ACL)

Jagusah - startling LT (lost for regular season in fall camp with pectoral injury)

Burnham - rotaional DE (lost for multiple games with sprained ankle against NIU)

Botelho - starting Vyper (lost for season with knee injury and potentially longer against Purdue)

Craig - starting center (lost for season with torn ACL against Purdue)

Schrauth - starting LG (lost for chunk of season against Purdue with high ankle sprain and is still playing hurt)

Onye - rotational DT (lost for season and foreseeable future for unknown reasons after Miami of Ohio)

Mickey - 4th corner (left for transfer portal after Miami of Ohio)

Traore - pass rush specialist and rising all around star (lost for season against Louisville with torn ACL)

Jeter - Kicker (injured against Louisville and lost for most of the regular season - has been excellent in the postseason)

Morrison - All-American corner (lost for season against Stanford with hip injury)

Cross - DT and heart and soul of the defense (lost for rest of the regular season against UVA with high ankle sprain and is still extremely compromised)

KVA - heavy rotational LB (lost for regular season against Army with knee injury - back in a limited role in postseason)

Love - best RB in college football (injured knee against USC and is playing compromised)

Mills - best DL (lost for rest of season with knee/leg injury against Indiana)

Flanagan - backup TE (lost for season and next season with Achilles injury)

Knapp - starting LT who moved to LT after the Jagusah injury (injured in first half of semi-final with ankle injury and is probably out for the rest of the season)

Spindler - starting RG (injured in first half of semi-final - ankle?- and may not be available for NC)

 

If we agree to a one score loss can we skip having to interact with Ohio State fans?

 

Call me crazy, but Oregon and Texas are essentially the exact opposite teams of ND and PSU and Michigan are the most similar

I'm not saying we are going to win, but I think we're going to muck up the game a bit and give them something they're not seeing tonight (e.g. lame cover 2 and Ewers holding the ball like a statue)

 

We don’t have 3 CBs to cover their WRs, so won’t be fun. It’s also not been fun for anyone since Day and Chip Kelly decided to run over and over again into the middle of UMs defensive strength

 

ND’s OL needs to get healthy fast

 

These teams are playing a soft zone because they’re so scared of Ohio State’s WRs. I mean I get why, but is obviously losing by a thousand cuts more honorable than going down swinging?

The only defenses that ever give Ohio State trouble are the ones willing to play man coverage and live and die by the sword.

This is scared football

 

yea, man and blitz blitz blitz is the high variance play that you need to risk to give yourself a chance

 

Need Holtz to start tweeting about Ryan Day being a pussy

 

You either give them hell or loss by 50, but at least you shoot your shot

 

Is that a lot? It seems like a lot.

 

thankfully Golden and Freeman actually have the confidence to try, too. Kelly would turtle and optimize for a 13 point loss

 

Texas somehow winning and being without Golden next game is literally best case scenario

 

Ok we would handle the horns if they played like this

 

I do not see them winning

unless they make nd tier adjustements

 

Well, Maybe

 

The good News for us is that whoever nd plays, the qb is a statue.

 

Finally playing some man

 

This reminds me a lot of last night

 

Texas just needs to let their unheralded back up go in the game to kick start the offense

 

I think the extra games really are an advantage for defenses

 

I think that nd with a full roster….forget that, Even with just Mills, cross, and Boubacar healthy they would win It all

bmo would make it comfortable

 

We’re gonna beat one of these teams

 

And just imagine where jagusah would be right now with a whole year under his belt

 

Perhaps. We said the same during the 2012 SEC Champ game though. Gonna need to play incredible football

 

Nope just be savages

 

he’s freakish - dude was instantly the best OL on the field last night when he checked in

I still have no idea how he wasn’t a top 5 recruit

 

Jagusah has to start against OSU, he’s a difference maker

 

I would prefer him at guard for now, I really Hope knapp can be back healthy

 

I can understand why he didn't start when he came back under the circumstances with things rolling and you can't bench the others, but with the injury excuse to play him now, it could turn out to be a net positive.

 

The oline is going to be stacked for lime 5 years

 

Jagusah can absolutely eliminate one of these Texas or OSU lineman on every play- he’s a gd monster

 

it’s ridiculous

 

I remember when d3 was whining about rudolph just a few weeks ago… what a job

 

Keep em coming

 

Oh texas

 

D3’s schtick is fading hard, he thrives on bullshit

 

He’s the opposition party. He only does well when he doesn’t like the guy in charge.

 

Fellas, I'm not scared. Strap your shit on and get ready for a fight on the big stage.

 

He hated the Biagi hire, too

 

I’ve really tuned him out the last two years, I like the staff and administration

I enjoyed d3 when he shat on Rees and Kelly but that’s gone , it’s time to lift up our squad and administration

 

Marcus Freeman's middle 8 would never, lol Texas

 

I think we're better coached than either of these teams. They have more talent and are healthier (?), but that screen play, yikes.
