as well. It was vastly different than last year. Where we said, we're gonna man up. See if you can beat us.
It's odd that the school that popularized the use of the forward pass, is afraid to use the forward pass. Beyond frustrating and confusing.
Show confidence and throw the ball. At this point, who cares about completions or interceptions. Just prove you know how to throw the ball 30+ yards downfield. In 2025, you don't scare a defense with a run game and bubble screens.

- Agree generally especially the tight man to man with a blitz to make the QB throw quickly before - THEISMANCARR - 9:46am 9/2/25
- Especially against a QB who is notoriously bad under pressure. [NT] - DiscoRick - 9:48am 9/2/25
- It was a very conservative and often confusing gameplan. Biggest concern, IMHO, lack of fire. - LanceManion - 9:00am 9/2/25
- Yes. No one on the team had fire other than Faison on the first drive or two. [NT] - oldirish - 1:34pm 9/2/25
- Lack of fire. I've heard more than one ND beat writer who was there say the same. - ELP - 9:40am 9/2/25
- Watching the D - it’s night and day last year to this year - LanceManion - 11:50am 9/2/25
- Appeared to me they just didnt trust their decision to go with a frosh QB. So they tried to keep it - DiscoRick - 9:38am 9/2/25
- Interesting. Maybe you are right about Carr. If so, then MF is team Carr and Denbrock ain’t [NT]
- LanceManion - 11:51am 9/2/25
- Denbrock would almost have to be team Carr now you'd think. He looked great. [NT] - DiscoRick - 12:12pm 9/2/25
- Agreed. Freeman mouthing "told you" after a TD indicates there was serious debate about who to start [NT] - NDblues - 9:59am 9/2/25

- Whatever you do don't Tressel it up, and give your advantage away. It's difficult to find worse - DiscoRick - 8:56am 9/2/25
- Couldn't agree with you more. If you have talent use it. Dictate the game to them. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:52am 9/2/25
