]]>Totally agree with your comment. Never have I felt a team was more likely to convert a third down than Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl. I, too, cannot imagine what the defensive strategy was. Perhaps there was no plan.
]]>Hmm, recall that certain McCaffery had very poor game against us but just romped like crazy in Rose Bowl. Attribute that to careful coaching in ND’s part, but surprised with a month to prepare, not so prepared. Coaches need to spend less time politiking and more time with the players and tape.
]]>Negative is letting a team that had problems on offense the whole year score 44 points. Negative is not being able to take a kickoff return past the 20 or even 15 because your coaches don’t care about special teams. Negative is getting a offensive rhythm and then getting predictable. The team has huge holes that prevent it from getting over the hurdle, you’re whole negativity episode sounds like something from a politically correct college campus where people can’t deal with reality.
]]>Apparently I watched the same game as Pat Sullivan – read his STS article entitled Defensive Grades vs OSU dated 1/4. I don’t question this team’s heart.
]]>ND, Stanford have had some great, even remarkable years as of late. My point being that with a limited talent pool each program recruits and signs some top talent. Urban, having a much larger talent pool, stocks each position with a depth of top talent that’s unavailable to ND, Stanford et al
]]>Had the pleasure of being at the game… Observations from Section 411
– ND played hard (Ohio State just has better athletes across the board)
– BVG is an idiot… Would have fired him after the Stanford lose.
– BK got out coached again. What else is new.
– ND kickoff return team should have take a knee instead of trying to run the ball out of the end zone. Put offense in bad starting positions…
– BK play calling sucks.. So predicable with same lousy results.
New Year Hopes
– BVG gets fired ASAP
– BK turns all play calling over to the “Boise Kid”. Won’t happen… Still a big hope
– BK takes a pro job and gets fired like Chip Kelly did..
I would rather have a smash mouth o-line and battering ram like Elliot
The finesse stuff is not ND football and belongs in Video games
