Even the MASH unit of a solid team should win those easily. Not getting the job done. Even the board owner pointed out the unforgivable nature of the NIU loss for Freeman

We are a Louisville level team in year 3 of Freeman with a loss to a MAC team. To the kumbaya guys, - Frank L - 1:51pm 9/29/24 (23) [View All]
- My feeling is had Angeli started we'd be 5-0 and scoring 30 points minimum per game. - DiscoRick - 4:41pm 9/29/24
  - He can throw a ball downfield and is a better runner than given credit for. Also been a loyal ND guy [NT] - Frank L - 10:02pm 9/29/24
  - I think we'd have the same record but loss would be to A&M instead of NIU. [NT] - Chrisb - 5:32pm 9/29/24
    - Yeah, maybe. But w/ Angeli more hope for the rest if the season. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:37pm 9/29/24
      - Depends on OL IMO... - Chrisb - 7:55am 9/30/24
  - There is not enough of a body of work for Angeli to know this. Would could be 3 - 2 or 2 - 3 with - michiganirish - 5:02pm 9/29/24
    - This is not even true. [NT] - oldirish - 8:45pm 9/29/24
    - But Ive seen enough from RL's passing to know Angeli is better at that. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:38pm 9/29/24
      - This is true. [NT] - Chrisb - 7:55am 9/30/24
  - At least platoon them and go with the hot hand. [NT] - DiscoRick - 4:44pm 9/29/24
- Same old story. If the stars align, we’re a top 10 team; if they don’t we’re top 25. - LanceManion - 4:34pm 9/29/24
- SEC has 4 of top 5 and 9 in top 25... which roughly coincides with their recruiting rankings. [LINK] - Curly1918 - 2:41pm 9/29/24
- It’s average for us for 30 years. 8 to 15 ranking is about right - ndphysics - 2:21pm 9/29/24
  - Maybe, although if you average in some of Ty Willie’s, Chuckle’s and Big Game - Frank L - 2:59pm 9/29/24
- Great job by Freeman and our coaches to lead a MASH unit to victory over #15 Louisville. And no, of - ND521 - 1:58pm 9/29/24
  - Thin at OL so the QB gets the most carries over Love … - IrishFan82 - 2:04pm 9/29/24
    - I don’t understand calling more QB runs than love gets [NT] - ndphysics - 2:09pm 9/29/24
      - I agree. [NT] - bobdrake - 5:45pm 9/29/24
    - Right into the teeth of the stacked front also. [NT] - Frank L - 2:06pm 9/29/24

    - NIU was on Freeman. Stanford on Freeman, P12 refs & Kelly's QBs. Marshall mostly on Kelly QBs. [NT] - ND521 - 2:19pm 9/29/24
    - Denial… [NT] - whatsamataU - 2:07pm 9/29/24
  - Well stated. [NT] - michiganirish - 2:02pm 9/29/24
