(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/elkabong/dev.ndnation.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131The Fighting Irish going out and starting to fight from the first blow of the whistle is necessary for their next big game. The poor special teams is a sign that the team lacks the intensity and attention to detail. The reality is, college football seems to have only 2-3 teams that can compete at the highest level; look at FSU and Oregon collapsing in the playoff last year.
]]>Nothing worse than seeing OK go to the championship game and get dominated those past couple of times they went. They did beat a beleaguered BAMA team two years ago, but I do think ND deserves it based on their narrow loss to Clemson, at Death Valley. The Big 12 needs better non-conference games to be taken seriously. I am still waiting for ND to come out swinging against a great team, the last time we saw that was vs. USC in 2005. A win against a top 5 team would be ‘SO NICE’ as Trump likes to say.
]]>Well said.
]]>Great observation about the offensive pass interference penalty that was not called on the receiver who had both hands on Cole Luke’s shoulders and held him down so he could not jump. The coverage was excellent. And I believe it was the same drive that led to the very tainted touchdown by Wake.
]]>This.
]]>One BIG win against a great team please?! Can’t name one . . .? How about Ozzie Osbourne, turf and a megatron, disgraceful! And we found out FSU wasn’t that good, getting ripped by Oregon. Plus, dropped passes in Noah’s Ark torrential downpour, surprising?
]]>I’m so tired of the BK cant coach argument and I hate defending people I dont know personally this much but this narrative is beyond frustrating. Let’s take a look at the 3 biggest games in the BK ERA they lost.We wont even talk about the 2012 season when apparently none of the first 12 games where big! Clemson- Not sure what BK was supposed to do to help the receivers catch the ball that day and not turn it over every other possession. As for the Defense the fact that they gave up a few scores early and then basically nothing there after should speak highly to their in game adjustments to me. If they dont make the playoff are we to look back on the Clemson game and blame him for Will Fuller, Corey Robinson and Tori Hunter’s incredibly bad games and crucial drops. Or maybe we should blame him for Chris Brown, CJ Prossise, and the kick off returner fumbling? Also the previous big game he coached in before that are we to blame him that the refs decided to call a BS penalty that literally cost them the game in Tallahassee? A team btw that did make the Final 4. And finally the game he gets most killed for–Nat title game— Is there anyone alive out there that thought they were even close to matching up with Ala Freekin Bama— Alabama had third string players that were better then some of our starters. We had a freshmen QB, Tommy Rees, and a few pros on that team compared to about 2 dozen on Bama.To make it to that game was an absolutely incredible job. I hated being blown but in the BK ERA those are his 3 big losses. And as I have debated on here before his recruiting speaks for itself. He is building a much deeper and more talented team which will position ND to be in the conversation every year which is all anyone could ever ask for.
