All Things Notre Dame - The Clashmore Mike Memorial Thread

[WM Wolverine]

Purdue will do well against the lousy defenses in the B10. M contained them awfully well and stuffed their short passes to only short gains. Defensively, Purdue was pretty good other than when Denard got to the second level... They look like could be a 4-4 (maybe 3-5) B10 team given how awful the B10 is.

ND's offense is unspeakably terrible at the moment.

[WM Wolverine]

They aren't a top 10-15 team, neither is M and M moved the ball pretty easily against them when they weren't throwing the ball to the other team. Golson isn't there best QB, actually I hope he is as that means their other QB's are that awful too.

[iam416]

Correct on all counts. Unfortunately for M, Golson is probably a better QB than Vincent Smith.

[WM Wolverine]

Golson is one of 'his' players so I guess that is why he's starting instead of Rees.

[iam416]

Well, barring Stanford turnovers, ND is going to have to do something on offense.

And, incidentally, WV is a world of hurt at the moment.

If OSU can somehow survive Bloomington, they have a shot to move up a bit.

"Survive Bloomington", said nobody, ever, until now! :-D

I can't believe they didn't review the 2nd down. It sure looked like the Stanford RB got across.

[*JD*]

I backed it up. His knee may have touched before his final dive.

[*JD*]

Oh. Fumble into the endzone on 4th down.

[*JD*]

Wow. That could be a TD.

[*JD*]

No reversal. Luck of the Irish.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Stupid, stupid play calling on Staford's part inside the 1. Teo was all over both those runs.

Nicely coached game by Kelley. ND is limited on offense but plays great D. Because of the lack of offense, they're really not a top 10 or top 5 (elite) team but they will be the way the system works.

Congrats, Clash

[iam416]

ND is shit. That was a TD. I also cant believe the personal foul on the final ND drive.

I'm actually going to enjoy watching Stoops rail that team. And make a ton of money fading Irish tools.

[lineygoblue]

The Stanford runner was never on the ground, and his forward progress was not halted. If the review official isn't going to correct errors on the field, then they should do away with replay.

Not only the last play, but there were at least 3 other plays in OT that should have been reviewed.

The luck of the Irish has returned. Somehow I always knew it would. There has never been a team in the entire history of college football who has lucked into more wins than the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. None.
