- Build on this momentum, keep doing what works well - ndunabomber - 11:47am 9/26/22
- BYU will be a good test. Credit to Pyne, Rees, Estime, and the OL. But UNC’s D is awful. - Frank L - 11:45am 9/26/22

IF Buchner would not have gotten hurt, would he have started vs. NC ? [NT] - OklahomaIrishman - 9:06am 9/26/22 (14) [View All]

    - Jurko was never the answer [NT] - ColeyO - 12:05pm 9/26/22

  - Very unfortantely [NT] - oldirish - 10:20am 9/26/22
- of course [NT] - DonMiller - 9:40am 9/26/22
- Would he have beaten Cal in your hypothetical? [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 9:26am 9/26/22
  - Even had he lost to Cal, they'd have started Buchner. They don't have a high opinion of Pyne. [NT] - tky21 - 11:50am 9/26/22
    - Sorry, don't believe that. Freeman would have been in a very tough place at 0-4, 0-3 on the season. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 12:08pm 9/26/22
      - That doesn't mean bench the starting QB. This team (and QB) goes as the OL goes. [NT] - tky21 - 1:53pm 9/26/22
        May not mean it...but, in my humble opinion, that is what would have happened. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 1:58pm 9/26/22

In a case of Irony... Was it not also North Carolina that Book made a statement that he should be - oldirish - 9:40pm 9/25/22 (14) [View All]
- Book taking over was a lot about other QBs making the statement that they shouldn't be the QB at ND. [NT] - tky21 - 7:08am 9/26/22
  - What's your take on why the coaches could not see this the prior Spring? [NT] - oldirish - 9:50am 9/26/22
    - They probably wanted the bigger, stronger, faster, more talented QB with the stronger arm to be - tky21 - 12:06pm 9/26/22

  - Yep. #few [NT] - oldirish - 9:50am 9/26/22
- Sure. If you consider throwing for < 150 yards and more INTs than TDs a statement. - NDavenue - 9:50pm 9/25/22
  - Still blinded by the wrong stats. It was about moving from an uncohesive, 1 dimensional offense. To - oldirish - 9:49am 9/26/22
  - Since he went on to be the winning best QB in the - ColeyO - 11:35pm 9/25/22
    - And he did it through his play by getting an offense to go from 1 dimensional to multi dimensional. [NT] - oldirish - 9:53am 9/26/22

Rees called a good game. Still not sure I feel confident about our offense though we're improving. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 8:56pm 9/25/22 (5) [View All]
- If we get past BYU with the Oline playing well and running the ball effectively, - NDavenue - 6:37am 9/26/22
  - Agreed. The team's offensive success (and Pyne's) depends very largely on the OL and running game. [NT] - tky21 - 7:02am 9/26/22
- The offense will continue to be good so long as the OL can block like they have the last 6 quarters. - tky21 - 9:55pm 9/25/22
- The offense will improve a lot with the play of Pyne. But Rees has to keep up his end and game plan - oldirish - 9:37pm 9/25/22

Rewatched the game & a few observations … - LanceManion - 11:58am 9/25/22 (18) [View All]
- 10-2. I believe in Coach Freeman. I believe in Tommy Rees. - conorlarkin - 8:25pm 9/25/22
- What four games do we still lose? - WoodstockIrish - 4:50pm 9/25/22
  - ‘Cuse. I’m adjusting my prognosis weekly. We could also land at 10-2. - LanceManion - 5:48pm 9/25/22
    - i'm guessing 6 - 6, or 7 - 5, or 8 - 4, or 9 - 3, or 10 - 2. staying flexible. - und67 - 9:38pm 9/25/22
      - That’s the spirit. Accept reality for what it is - a big unknown. [NT] - LanceManion - 9:40pm 9/25/22
    - A Stanford loss is also possible. I agree with 6-6. [NT] - NDQuebec - 6:04pm 9/25/22
      - That tells me beating NC didn’t mean much to either of you? [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 6:36pm 9/25/22
        I’m reminded of a quote from Winston Wolfe from Pulp Fiction. Right direction? Y. Ship righted? TBD. [NT] - LanceManion - 6:50pm 9/25/22
        Saturday was a pretty significant “sea change” though and really enjoyed the running game - WoodstockIrish - 8:03am 9/26/22
- Agree with most. #7 - Play the young dudes. Lewis seems burnt mentally. Hart is up n down too... - Karamello - 2:32pm 9/25/22

  - We also deferred if I recall correctly. Two annoyances rectified. [NT] - LanceManion - 1:49pm 9/25/22
- I was surprised by the lack of QB pressure by the ND D line unless that was by design to keep QB in - jray - 12:51pm 9/25/22
  - Styles? Lenzy is a wasted talent IMHO. Very inconsistent. [NT] - LanceManion - 1:50pm 9/25/22

The Defense is terrible. They are giving up 22.25pts per game. Sooo bad. (took off the pick 6 pts) [NT] - oldirish - 8:47pm 9/24/22 (3) [View All]

DID YOU KNOW: PYNE 2 Games - 41/57 (72%) - 5 Passing TDs - 439yds - 10.71 yds / pass - oldirish - 8:42pm 9/24/22 (13) [View All]
- You know it is kind of funny. Pyne was a 4 star and Book was a 3 star. Pyne is not as good as Book - THEISMANCARR - 12:01am 9/25/22
- For a guy making 2nd start, he is looking pretty good [NT] - DakIrish - 9:46pm 9/24/22
  - Can't argue with that. [NT] - Chrisb - 9:58pm 9/24/22
- After the first qtr of Cal, he's been doing a pretty nice job with the limited and easier stuff they - tky21 - 9:23pm 9/24/22
  - Much like Cal game be started off poorly in this game as well - WoodstockIrish - 10:05pm 9/24/22
    - I was worried early but his scramble played turned the whole thing around. Mayer made some tough - THEISMANCARR - 12:03am 9/25/22
  - "the limited and easier stuff" really only pertains to the Cal game - Chrisb - 9:48pm 9/24/22
  - There was nothing limited. He just executed and everything opened up. He gets better every quarter. - oldirish - 9:44pm 9/24/22
    - In the Cal game it was, Big Time! Vast majority of his throws in that game - Chrisb - 9:57pm 9/24/22
      - Yes that is right. I was referring to today's game. [NT] - oldirish - 10:20pm 9/24/22
- He makes quick decisions seems like a gamer [NT] - ndphysics - 8:45pm 9/24/22

Wisconsin might be the most overrated program of the last decade [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 8:17pm 9/24/22 (3) [View All]
- Outside of tOSU, which is a legit top 3 program, the entire Big Ten is overrated. [NT] - tky21 - 9:24pm 9/24/22
  - Michigan and Penn State are overrated too but sadly undefeated. I hope they get theirs soon. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 12:05am 9/25/22

Pyne's passing efficiency in two starts is 165.6 - MarkHarman - 7:58pm 9/24/22 (22) [View All]

  - ^^^^This [NT] - oldirish - 10:22pm 9/24/22
- Nice. His capabilities better align with our talent & force Reese to call a more appropriate game [NT] - LanceManion - 8:07pm 9/24/22
  - Makes sense [NT] - MarkHarman - 8:40pm 9/24/22
  - Yes. [NT] - oldirish - 8:27pm 9/24/22
- For sure. So what the defense wasn’t very good. - ndphysics - 8:01pm 9/24/22
- I'd pay money to have seen him play in the OSU and Marshall games. Just poor coaching choice. [NT] - oldirish - 7:59pm 9/24/22
  - I'd like to have seen our OLine and running game play like that against OSU or Marshall. I'd like - tky21 - 9:29pm 9/24/22
  - But...but...board know-it-alls said the coaches see them every day in practice - MarkHarman - 8:02pm 9/24/22
    - Sorry, I like Pyne but I think you guys underrate Buchner. He had little to no protection and - THEISMANCARR - 12:12am 9/25/22
      - Buchner reminds me of the kid who went to KS with Weis - LanceManion - 11:05am 9/25/22
      - I thought a year ago Pyne was better than Buchner...and Coan, too - MarkHarman - 12:31am 9/25/22
        I thought the same and still think Pyne should have started over Coan. [NT] - oldirish - 7:00pm 9/25/22
    - Coaches fall in love with the idea of a player rather than reality - LanceManion - 8:15pm 9/24/22
      - This is my biggest complaint [NT] - oldirish - 8:26pm 9/24/22
        They also recruit these kids and there’s probably a pride point at play - LanceManion - 8:32pm 9/24/22
        Yep. You're right. [NT] - oldirish - 8:34pm 9/24/22
    - So true. [NT] - oldirish - 8:07pm 9/24/22
    - Practice players don't always translate to game players [NT] - bobdrake - 8:05pm 9/24/22
      - So true [NT] - LanceManion - 8:10pm 9/24/22
      - We've definitely seen our fair share of annointed practice stars that falter in the games. [NT] - oldirish - 8:07pm 9/24/22

- He seemed like the better choice even last year. Glad he’s improving. - LanceManion - 8:04pm 9/24/22
- Yep. Your two middle sentences are where eveyone keeps making mistakes. [NT] - oldirish - 8:01pm 9/24/22
- Agree. I've always been optimistic about him [NT] - MarkHarman - 8:00pm 9/24/22
  - Same. It's amazing to read the naysaying and excuses why Pyne shouldn't be the guy. Shocking. [NT] - oldirish - 8:06pm 9/24/22
  - He stepped up today when he had to, and that’s what counts. [NT] - garryowen - 8:03pm 9/24/22

We are getting better. Far more comfortable than the score indicates. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 7:23pm 9/24/22 (11) [View All]
- Sad that our defense gave up all those pass plays - WoodstockIrish - 7:50pm 9/24/22

- Irish will win out, and finish 10-2. - conorlarkin - 7:36pm 9/24/22

    - And the offensive line [NT] - bobdrake - 7:46pm 9/24/22
    - You might also want to give some of the credit to the BVG of BVGs, Gene Chizik. - lacan - 7:41pm 9/24/22

- Re: Al Golden has some work to do-too many big plays. - Rocketman84 - 7:33pm 9/24/22
- Agree. Also not much pass rush from a unit that is supposed to be elite. [NT] - jray - 7:21pm 9/24/22
  - For some reason everytime we get an "elite" DL. They go dormant. [NT] - oldirish - 8:09pm 9/24/22
  - Prevent defense prevents you from winning.old adage still works. [NT] - garryowen - 7:42pm 9/24/22
    - There is absolutely nothing elite about our defense [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 7:51pm 9/24/22
  - This won't fly against Clemson and definitely not against USC. [NT] - ELP - 7:22pm 9/24/22
    - I watched the Clemson game. Their secondary sucked. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 8:02pm 9/24/22
      - Their front seven can bring plenty of pressure, though. [NT] - ndunabomber - 8:08pm 9/24/22
