Just a quick-hit post on the ND/Navy game.
- We should never, ever, EVER again put in the second string when it is only the third quarter and you are only up by 20. WAY too much time left.
- ND had an abysmal first half.
- The 3rd quarter (when the starters were in) reminded me of 2005 and 2006 seasons and the kind of offensive dominance we can show.
- Clausen had a much better game, but still has room to improve.
- The O-Line worries me…it takes a full half to wear down an undersized line? Seriously? And then they allowed Navy to cause two turnovers when they laid hits on Clausen. I shudder to think what USC will do to Clausen if this isn’t rectified fast.
- Our turnover ratio is really sucking right now.
- We clearly have never tried to recover an onside kick before. ND just made a perfect “what not to do” video on onside kick coverage.
- If you are a Big East referee, you see no issue with Navy using four timeouts.
- How did we get beat deep by Navy’s passing offense? Especially considering we knew they were ready to throw bombs to the endzone every play.
- Michael Floyd is out for the next two games — ouch…
- In the end, a win is a win. Time for the Irish to go Bowling this year and end the 15 year drought.
- The Irish now have a win against a winning program this season.
- This post pretty much sums up my feelings of the ridiculous notion of firing Weis this season.
- Dear Michigan, enjoy your 3-9 season. There is no way in hell you will beat Ohio State. Welcome to our world, Love ND.
