the year prior in a meaningful way, It's a lot to ask to put a rookie QB in a position where his learning snaps are against top 20 teams.

That said, TX pretty much did the same thing to Arch Manning in playing OSU, and he and CJ played fairly comparably with very similar gameplans and very similar results.

Contrast our game vs. Miami with SCUM's game vs. New Mexico. Bryce Underwood is being hailed as the second coming.

Imposing corporate abuse, neglect and greed on deserving victims.

My feeling at this point is Freeman is a great recruiter but a so, so strategist. - DiscoRick - 7:26am 9/1/25 (13) [View All]
- Poor coaching top to bottom. All out coached last night. [NT] - whatsamataU - 10:03am 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
      - Both he and Carr should have gotten reps [NT] - DiscoRick - 1:21pm 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
- it’s like ND didn’t play in the national championship game last year. [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 7:45am 9/1/25
  - The consensus view last year by outsiders was that he outcoached Smart and Franklin - Turkish - 8:10am 9/1/25
