and we got owned until they did not care and watched us score. If we go on to have a very good season ND's giveaways at the end will help us. But I strongly doubt we would have gotten them had the score been any closer. The ACC refs were OK, made mistakes each way, and IMO did not influence...

Endzone visitors side w view of Touchdown Jesus ~15-18 or 115-118 I'm in 27 next to students

Local breakfast notes: Rain gone, ~15-17 mph winds -- possibly enough to hinder ND's passing game and both FG kickers Would not be surprised if they shadow JT w Jaylon or KeiVarae or a 3-4 variation Defensive questions outnumber answers so far, esp given their talent level VanGorder should pack...

Is Jaylon going to shadow JT ? This is your only hope save possibly KeiVarae Russell who has yet to play as well as he practices (or talks).

All true and well said but please consider: How confident would you be if M Jordan was starting for us and JT was gone ? And our only runners were TaQuon and Marcus Allen ? Especially if they your opponent was starting 1s instead of 3s ? Kizer has taken 17 CFB snaps. Procise was a safety then...

Rain likely til ~noon, ending b4 kickoff then 64 w/wind 18-20 mph Kelly presser gave away nothing except that his scout team could not replicate JT, or Keenan Reynolds last year for that matter. My guess still is that Jaylon Smith is assigned to Thomas.

We're not the team starting our 3d string QB and 3 first yr RBs against a top 15 team, so why so doubtful ? We should be ~2 TDs better than them. Only if the Irish come out with their hair on fire should this stay competitive. I cannot imagine NDs offense going score for score with us. Domers...

Map also -- White is easy access, Burke closer but more traffic. Or $20 at St Mary's across street near Hilton Garden Inn but stadium ~a mile away.

My point exactly !

ND will remain independent for as long as possible, and if compelled, join the ACC. The fit is much better for them. GT, Duke, BC, Wake, UVa, Clemson and the Academy all are strong academic institutions, as are UNC (except 4 that) and Syracuse (and that too). ND will never affiliate with the...

Us 42 Them 30

It feels like B1G and SEC are in, so really only 2 playoff spots to spread between ACC Big12 PAC12 & ND (should they get lucky).

1 Lou Holtz and Barry Alvarez were coaching ND instead of Kelly and VanGorder 2 DeShone Kizer is as good as the last 3d stringer that played in the 3d game of the season for ND 3 ND had anything but a pair of 3d team backs behind a very good OL Local weather @ gametime 65 w/wind 20-25 and...

ND played tougher teams and is down 5 starters. Rather have everybody than be starting a 3d string QB and TB (ND minus 3 best runners) against a top 15 team. Lake effect weather Saturday (wind 20-25 w/some rain) favors our running game over their spread game. That said the ball is not round so...
