1 - Absolutely a necessary win for MF and The Irish. This embarrassing schedule now sets them up well. Embarrassing ?? - 6th toughest schedule in college football - https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/ranking/schedule-strength-by-other

2 - I believe these conferences are colluding to force us into a conference by not scheduling us. That sucks. I wish other schools had the balls to go independent (even if just in football). Couldn't disagree more. More teams will go independent soon.

3 - Cannot say enough about Al G and his D. However, that A&M QB did miss some opportunities. Watching LSU-USC QB's throw absolute darts the entire game is worrisome for the future if we see QB play like that. LSU and USC defense (no pressure all night) are not in the same sentence as Texas AM and ND

5 - Collins looks like an absolute dawg. We need to be pushing the ball down the field way more, even if Leonard struggles. Teams have simply loaded the box and forced every QB since Book to try and throw over the top. We gotta find ways to stretch the field. - Denbrock manged this game perfectly. New OL, New QB, Great Defense - Let the defense win the game, No offensive mistakes - perfect game calling.

7 - Where were the TE's? Hope that picks up later and sure hope 88 is ok. - Flanagan 3rd most productive reciever

8 - Well done young bucks on the OL (although 72 looked really shaky at times). Continue to grow. Pendleton sprung both big runs

9 - Why can't we put 2 guys back to field punts? Didn't we sign an All-American returner? A&M flipped the field multiple times with their punter in big situations and we never adjusted. Why?

10 - Having watched the Irish since the early '70's I will say this: NO LET DOWNS! This is setting up to be an 11-1 season at worst as long as we take care of business. Need to B-slap Louisville and take care of Ga Tech while not playing down to the rest of the schedule which seems to happen at least 3 times a year over the last decade or so. As stated above - 6th toughsest schedule in College Football

Great start! December home playoff game! Go Irish!
