Snider and Watts. No one stepped up to provide that and lead the way. Ash has got to require that...demand it. Great teams must have it. These kids have it in them...bring it to the forefront. They all should have a passion to compete...feed it.
The OL has none of that.

- I agree, but on the Carr point. I think they underutilized him to their detriment. - DiscoRick - 8:58pm 9/2/25
- I think the offense went exactly the way freeman would want [NT]
- ndphysics - 5:57pm 9/1/25
- Probably, but I meant he needs to do it post loss. And make sure changes are made. [NT]

- I think it was the gameplan. Slow the game down. Shorten it. - DiscoRick - 11:21am 9/1/25
- Not sure how you define good team. It worked pretty well last year [NT]
- Turkish - 12:10pm 9/1/25
- A top 10 team. [NT]
- DiscoRick - 1:16pm 9/1/25
- Like Indiana, Penn State, and UGA? [NT]
- Turkish - 1:18pm 9/1/25
- I'll give you OSU. I felt that was fairly passive. [NT] - DiscoRick - 1:38pm 9/1/25
- Fatal flaw is ND didnt play passive D last year, but we can debate that if you like. [NT] - DiscoRick - 1:31pm 9/1/25

- True, but imo the fundamental issue was the softness in both lines. - NDQuebec - 11:46am 9/1/25
- No doubt, neither line played average. [NT] - DiscoRick - 1:17pm 9/1/25
