I remember that Army game as well. 1995 season, and ND had just blown a 28-7 lead in the fourth quarter. They were fortunate that Ivory Covington made that play at the goaline.

I was just thinking the same thing. Stanford will probably beat Oregon again this season, too.

To make matters worse, seven of the 20 points scored by Purdue against Indiana State were on a long kickoff return.

Rees is consistantly inconsistant. Anything resembling a rush and he is skyying the ball over the receivers head, behind them of launching it out of bounds. He telegraphs his throws like Western Union. Arizona State game even though they had the refs blessing vs Wisconsin is definitely looking like a loss. 7-5.

Obviously those are my two favorite teams. Just saying ND was flat.

Even on TV, FSU seems to breath energy, excitement. ND, not so at all. And I have been a ND supporter many years before I moved South.

This guy had a breakout game and showed the toughness that most of the team lacks. Tommy is a character guy and you have to love his attitude, but he is not in the same league as any top 20 QB. Like all on this thread, I am VERY concerned about the defense…do we even HAVE a linebacker corp?? Is there any penetration by the D-line? After all, this was Purdue. Cincy killed this team last week and we had to struggle from behind? 8-4?? I hope, I hope.

Agree with most of what you say except Hendrix is awful. Slow linebackers, too many sideways passes and foolish fade routs, no intensity, refusal to compete in the first half, predictable playcalling, no deception. Discouraged, and I have to say we look like a Charlie Weis team. Why are two-star and no star recruits able to stay with our alleged four stars? Did they leave their stars in high school? I’m concerned Kelly thinks things are alright. They look like they are far from alright. We’re in big trouble this next Saturday.

Purdue got beat by Cincinnati in week 1 42- 7. So by 35 points. You are saying that Alabama, Texas AM and Oregon would not do that against Purdue when Purdue struggled to beat Indiana State? Those teams would win by more than that. ND coaching is a mystery. I can sit at home from my television set and tell you when ND is going to blitz. I see the linebackers run up to the line and I’m thinking surely they aren’t tipping their hand that poorly? They must be faking blitz to disguise their coverages, but nope they actually blitz and telegraph their defense that bad. I blame the coaching for this. You mix up coverages and you tell your players to not be predictable. ND’s defense hasn’t been stellar for all 4 years of Kelly’s tenure. I think that people are giving the defensive coordinators too much credit for last year and not remembering the prior years before when we were average. Things must change or we will continue to play close and eventually lose. When Purdue’s coach says at halftime that they were able to figure out ND’s tendencies from watching their formations from the previous weeks that means that Kelly is doing the same thing over and over again. Too predictable.
