He is a very capable strategist. Offense game plan failed until too late in the game. That is on Freeman and Denbrock but they did make good adjustments.
The defense also stiffened late but never got the big play.

- My feeling at this point is Freeman is a great recruiter but a so, so strategist. - DiscoRick - 7:26am 9/1/25

- Poor coaching top to bottom. All out coached last night. [NT] - whatsamataU - 10:03am 9/1/25
- I think the lesson is: if you are going to front load schedules, which we will, our QB needs reps - LanceManion - 9:23am 9/1/25
- Yep totally agree. No reason not to play him last year. [NT]
- DiscoRick - 10:40am 9/1/25
- My point is maybe given the injury Minchey should have gotten reps [NT]
- LanceManion - 12:26pm 9/1/25

- Totally disagree. Helping CJ succeed was part of the gameplan. Conservative? Yes but - faircatchcorby - 8:52am 9/1/25
- The correct approach is develop him last year. Not game 1. [NT] - DiscoRick - 10:54am 9/1/25
- If success is a 3 point loss, but develop your QB I agree. [NT] - DiscoRick - 10:42am 9/1/25
- I'm all for easing the rook in but not at the expense of going away from who you are - Clem - 9:06am 9/1/25
- Their defense vwas stacked to stop Love. The original drive looked solid with the short passes, - THEISMANCARR - 9:49am 9/1/25
- But Miami adjusted to that plan, and stopped it. And ND continued doing it. [NT] - DiscoRick - 10:55am 9/1/25
