I can’t believe the harsh criticism of Goldson. Sure he made some boneheaded moves. He is the reason we haven’t lost a game. with the likes of last years QB we would have lost two games by now. Give the guy a little credit. the o line hasn’t helped him at all. He has had a heck of a first five games even with the mistakes.

In reply to brian. It's all about context. Going purple-face shows a loss of control, which I don't want to see in any coach, let alone a Notre Dame coach. But I'm not going to fault a coach for using harsh language as long as it's not objectively offensive. Football coaches yell.

Regarding BinCa’s comments about “no more purple face.”
An acquaintance who watched the game says he saw Kelly call a player an f—ing moron, clear as day on the sideline, after a botched play…Can anyone corroborate this?
I don’t mind a coach yelling “C’mon, get your head in the game!”
But calling someone an f—ing moron crosses the line…

In reply to Kev. I thought the Stanford defense was playing the Stanford offense because all I heard was Stanford, Stanford, Stanford. My 13 year-old even asked me if Mayock went to Stanford.

I am never surprised that a few comments highlight the weaker/questionable points of our game instead of just enjoying the result. Stanford was a good opponent. Apparently they outplayed USC in a similar fashion to the way we outplayed them. I think we simply were better. What could be a better proof than the fact that in years past they rushed for 200+ and sat. they rushed for 47!
And Golson is tall enough and smart enough to find the throwing lanes. I was there on Sat. it was ridiculously cold, yet he made several perfect throws (along with a few bad ones)

This is my only forum to comment, so I want to add that I am one of the few that think some of the 5 will be exonerated. If you unknowingly copied or pasted, or a tutor added a few more comments than are acceptable, that is only punishable by a reduced grade, or even an F on that paper. From the rumours, it doesn’t sound like it was widespread. Just like in criminal law, their intentions should be one of the biggest factors.
Lets get them back and whack Jamis Winston!

You’re right about the NFL and Brian Kelly. And unfortunately, the attraction is more than mutual. I think he wants to move to the NFL as soon as he gets an offer.

It is inevitable that Stanford fans are already trying to diminish the value of ND’s Víctory by saying Stanford did NOT play up to standards, and that this year’s Cardinal is NOT performing at the previous elite level.

Out Offensive Line had better grow up A Lot before Florida State game. It is painful to see the stifled running game resulting from their ineffectiveness.

In reply to irishhawk50. Agreed. That ball never hit the ground and my wife even commented that she Mayock might need a trip to the eye doc.
