Hey Kevin, where are you today? Navy 20 ND 52. I’d be interested to hear your misguided analysis and what led you to believe that our boys would only score 14 against the AAC’s sunken treasure chest. My silent prediction was pretty close. I had our boys sinking Navy’s vessel via tidal wave, 49-14.

Yeah, ND fell short alright…. 8 points short of 60. Why do you even watch?

Yeah, I hear you. Sometimes it’s hard to decide what is just plain nonsense and what might be a “teaching moment” for the illiterate masses. Also, people should be willing to admit that Book is a much better runner on plays that are designed for that purpose than when he tries to improvise on pass plays by bailing out of the pocket. Most of the latter plays end with him running sideways out of bounds or chucking a desperate heave off his back foot into a group of cheerleaders.

Vannie, why bother answering a really stupid question? It’s funny, any other QB in the nation can run the ball and this bunch will say, “Why isn’t our QB dynamic?” However, as soon as ND’s QB turns in a dynamic performance while playing to his strength, and it’s “What a shame our QB had to account for more than half of the rushing output?”

What Robert said +. He ñailed everything that is a negative for me as far as the “game experience” is concerned. I’m not a purest. I just want to watch a football game without all the interruptions and distractions.

I’m referring to the ground attack that accounted for 288 yards on 42 carries last week.

Nice summary,
And is this not the clearest sign of that French disease? Malaise.
One year after ascension into the CFP we can’t even fill the bleachers?
Readers of this board know the reason is Kelly. It’s not the team’s
record.
The Navy is fielding a tough unit and the contest will probably be
pretty good. Niumatalolo would be among my favorites as a replacement
were it not for tactics contemporaneous with the Battle of Lake Erie.
Go Irish beat Middies!
