- Great coaching job on the last drive [NT] - J-Ro - 10:59pm 10/2/23
  - Yeah. At least Parker was thinking about scoring the TD and not sliding at the 2 yd line for a FG [NT] - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 12:09am 10/3/23
- That's pretty awsome. Interesting that Parker was rightly discussing 2pt play well before the score. - Irish_Demon - 10:28pm 10/2/23
- Well done. [NT] - FinnMcCool - 10:21pm 10/2/23

Is the lack of WR production a function of the defenses we've played, our scheme, or our WR talent? - captaincoyle - 8:55pm 10/2/23 (2) [View All]
- Nd stopped OSU's WR's in large part. Like ND, I think Duke just has a good D. - DiscoRick - 9:01pm 10/2/23
  - According to Freeman, Thomas, Greathouse and Raridon will be back this week. That will help a lot. [NT] - tky21 - 10:05pm 10/2/23

Notre Dame Coach's Corner: Marcus Freeman Looks Toward Louisville and Reflects on Another Tense Game [NT] [LINK] - UHND - 2:37pm 10/2/23 (10) [View All]
- Earth to Marcus: Estime blew up your FG analytics chart. Be glad he did! [NT] - Irishize - 3:01pm 10/2/23
  - The failure of Duke's D line to stay in their lanes AND some great ND O line blocking helped as well [NT] - Curly1918 - 5:04pm 10/2/23
  - He's not still sticking to that is he? [NT] - Chrisb - 4:13pm 10/2/23
    - It's a matter of percentages - MarkHarman - 5:44pm 10/2/23
      - Nope, sorry, wrong answer...that is a broken analytic. - Chrisb - 7:51pm 10/2/23
        Yeah, it's great in theory - McIrish - 8:13pm 10/2/23
        Yeah its great when you push the B button and kick always goes through.. - Chrisb - 8:23pm 10/2/23
      - Too bad he didn't tell his OC to play the percentages - Clem - 6:50pm 10/2/23
        No shit right, that would have be good time to go with the analytics. [NT] - Chrisb - 8:02pm 10/2/23
    - He can't seem to let it go. Maybe he needs analysis. [NT] - Irishize - 4:18pm 10/2/23

Marcus said today that the following will be ready on Saturday: Thomas, Greathouse, and Raridon. [NT] - Irishize - 2:02pm 10/2/23 (10) [View All]

  - Preach. [NT] - Chrisb - 8:05pm 10/2/23
- Was there an update on the Offense? Will it be ready as well? [NT] - oldirish - 4:16pm 10/2/23
- Re: Marcus said today that the following will be ready on Saturday: Thomas, Greathouse, and Raridon. - Irish29 - 3:14pm 10/2/23
  - Too bad they won't have a QB next year. [NT] - AlbanyIRISH - 3:22pm 10/2/23
    - Just talked to Angeli, Minchey, and Carr who requested that you meet with them... - nddad98 - 6:13pm 10/2/23
      - Nah, message boards are safer environment for those type remarks [NT] - ColeyO - 6:37pm 10/2/23
    - This pessimism seems quite premature. - iairishcheeks - 5:43pm 10/2/23

Was Estime trying to set the FG try up on the left hash, on the TD run ? - OklahomaIrishman - 1:20pm 10/2/23 (16) [View All]
- Kicking should never be an option with this kicker - cubsfanin16 - 2:38pm 10/2/23
  - He seems to be the only one who doesn't understand that his Kicker is shaky. [NT] - jakers - 4:34pm 10/2/23
    - I think at this point that's why he isn't reversing course - NDNEIL - 4:48pm 10/2/23
      - See I don't even look at it that way, I literally don't care who the kicker is.. - Chrisb - 8:21pm 10/2/23
  - Yes Sir! [NT] - oldirish - 4:17pm 10/2/23
  - I was scared to death at the thought of kicking a 40 something yard FG - OklahomaIrishman - 2:50pm 10/2/23
    - I actually think our kicker is pretty good sometimes misses aren't on the kicker, that said, I hate - THEISMANCARR - 3:24pm 10/2/23
      - No doubt there are multiple elements that can potentially fail . - OklahomaIrishman - 6:48pm 10/2/23
    - I couldn't agree more, we don't have Jake Elliott [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 2:57pm 10/2/23
    - I couldn't agree more, we don't have Jake Elliott [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 2:57pm 10/2/23
- No doubt he was trying to get a few yards and go left. - ndphysics - 2:18pm 10/2/23
  - In this world...you're happy with the TD... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 2:23pm 10/2/23
- Typically, right footed kickers like the ball on the left hash mark [LINK] - ndunabomber - 1:42pm 10/2/23
  - I still don't get it. Did MF want Estime to fall at the one or score that TD? - ELP - 3:02pm 10/2/23
    - If he still thinks Estime should have fallen at the one, we may be fooked! - Chrisb - 4:16pm 10/2/23
      - That is funny stuff , yet probably true ! - OklahomaIrishman - 6:43pm 10/2/23

LSU was pretty testy after the game [LINK] - humbaba - 12:39pm 10/2/23 (13) [View All]
- Sounds like he smacked his shoulder pads - NDNEIL - 2:19pm 10/2/23
- Kelly is prickly...and too testy... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 2:19pm 10/2/23
  - I wonder if he'll pull out the same "I know who my guys are" card with this team - ndunabomber - 3:27pm 10/2/23
  - “Prickly” is an apt description. [NT] - Frank L - 2:37pm 10/2/23
- Just wait til they lose to Missouri this weekend. - Clem - 1:49pm 10/2/23
- To be fair... [LINK] - ndunabomber - 1:48pm 10/2/23
  - Agree lots of emotion on the part of the player. Be exuberant but - Frank L - 1:51pm 10/2/23
- Re: LSU was pretty testy after the game - holybull101 - 1:23pm 10/2/23
- At least Logan Digs is having a very decent season. He's the one I wish had stayed. [NT] - Curly1918 - 1:07pm 10/2/23
  - Agree, he’s slippery and wish he stayed. - Frank L - 1:48pm 10/2/23
  - That would have been nice but he graduated and would have been in a 4 RB mix. Congrats to him for - whatsamataU - 1:36pm 10/2/23
  - I watched Jay Bramblett punt at an important time in the game and he hit his usual 30 to 35 yarder - THEISMANCARR - 1:11pm 10/2/23
    - Probably because it was easier than having to go out and recruit a good punter. [NT] - Clem - 1:15pm 10/2/23

- That woulda been targeting on us 100%. [NT] - Chrisb - 8:28pm 10/2/23
- I wonder if LSU fans understand what will happen to them when this QB leaves & they get a Kelly QB? [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 11:35am 10/2/23
  - He'll simply find another transfer portal QB. - ndunabomber - 11:41am 10/2/23
- That would be targeting against ND. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 11:07am 10/2/23
  - You are so right [NT] - OHIrish - 7:11pm 10/2/23
  - Guaranteed - ndunabomber - 11:36am 10/2/23

        Basically, they are looking at the top of the helmet - McIrish - 9:27pm 10/2/23
        
        As a runner, he is not deemed to be a defenseless player - McIrish - 12:25pm 10/2/23

Aftermath of the game: Leonard has a high ankle sprain [LINK] - ndunabomber - 7:11pm 10/1/23 (9) [View All]
- I was certain it was broken. Folded up under him. Glad it's not. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 8:08am 10/2/23
- I'm glad it wasn't a break and that he has a bye week to heal up, although he'll probably not be - tky21 - 8:52pm 10/1/23
- Of all the possible outcomes given how that play looked, this is obviously the best one. - Frank L - 7:15pm 10/1/23
  - when they didn’t have to cart him off, that was a positive sign [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 9:33pm 10/1/23
  - I totally agree. And Hartman waiting to see him was a beautiful scene. - Curly1918 - 8:46pm 10/1/23
    - Agreed. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 10:51am 10/2/23
  - Certainly better than a broken leg but high ankle sprains take a long time to heal [NT] - McIrish - 7:16pm 10/1/23
    - Yeah, soft tissue damage has a lot more unknowns - ndunabomber - 9:31am 10/2/23

Was at the Duke game - a few observations - NEPA Irish - 6:21pm 10/1/23 (38) [View All]
- How was campus, tailgating, and the Duke fans? Seems like a great atmosphere. [NT] - ELP - 10:02am 10/2/23
- The tackling is the biggest problem. Hallmark of the quality of a defense. Elko, Lea and Diaco - tky21 - 8:57pm 10/1/23
- The ND noise toward the end was noticeable on TV - that surprised me. [NT] - LanceManion - 6:59pm 10/1/23
- Has there been any actual published data on the referee situation - WoodstockIrish - 6:29pm 10/1/23
  - Oh yeah, they always publish data to deligitimize their officiating. - DiscoRick - 9:02pm 10/1/23
    - Oh don't mind woody...he's our resident anti-fan. - Chrisb - 10:31pm 10/1/23
      - Just saving you all from the constant whining - WoodstockIrish - 10:58pm 10/1/23
        Yes because no other fan base complains about bad calls [NT] - McIrish - 11:55pm 10/1/23
        Stop it, he's our anti-fan...we don't need to share him. [NT] - Chrisb - 11:57pm 10/1/23
        
        Some of it is whining, some of it is valid - Chrisb - 11:54pm 10/1/23
        Yes, I don’t agree with 100% of the calls but I don’t incessantly whine - WoodstockIrish - 7:12am 10/2/23
        You do, however, incessantly whine about other posters - Clem - 1:38pm 10/2/23
  - Many of ours were legit, but refs are hiding it by not calling other way-this game 16 for ND, 2forD - BaronVonZemo - 7:08pm 10/1/23
    - Agree with most of this but by rule, the targeting call was not egregious. - McIrish - 7:22pm 10/1/23
      - Here’s why it is egregious imo…. - BaronVonZemo - 10:06pm 10/1/23
        I don't believe anyone claimed they waived the rules to keep with the spirit of the rules. - McIrish - 12:01am 10/2/23
        Notre Dame has been the victim of the targeting rule far more than opponents. - iairishcheeks - 2:18am 10/2/23
        
        Sorry but when you are the one crying foul, you have to stick to complaints that are actually valid - Chrisb - 10:43pm 10/1/23
        You nailed the two obviously bad, potential game changers. I have no issue with the targeting - Frank L - 9:01am 10/2/23
  - Nope. Most of the penalty calls on us yesterday were legit. Think that the beef is with them - Frank L - 6:37pm 10/1/23
    - The two that were egregious: Bothelo and punt review [NT] - LanceManion - 7:03pm 10/1/23
      - The only thing that was egregious on Bothelo play, was him putting his head down like that.. - Chrisb - 10:52pm 10/1/23
      - And picking up the PI flag, and the penalty disparity when there were clearly uncalled holds on Duke [NT] - DiscoRick - 9:10pm 10/1/23
  - Bro, I was seated on the 5 yd. line were the punt should have been marked out of bounds - NEPA Irish - 6:35pm 10/1/23
    - You can't convince some people the sky is blue. Breath is wasted on them. [NT] - DiscoRick - 9:07pm 10/1/23
    - On any of the egregious calls, did Marcus engage the refs, let alone work them? [NT] - LanceManion - 6:58pm 10/1/23
      - He ragged on one ref vs OUS for that horrendous non-call re: Flores - D2 - 7:40pm 10/1/23
- For all the criticism they get (a lot of it valid) this D doesn’t give up many points, 17 to OSU and - Frank L - 6:29pm 10/1/23
  - This reminds me of past teams with bend don’t break solid D but offensive woes [NT] - LanceManion - 7:00pm 10/1/23
  - I agree Frank, the D has played well enough that ND should be undefeated. The O still struggles to - jray - 6:32pm 10/1/23
    - That’s my thought. D has played well enough to be undefeated. Are there deficiencies, sure. - Frank L - 6:43pm 10/1/23
- The million dollar question. Is the lack of WR separation scheme/route designs or talent issue? - jray - 6:25pm 10/1/23
  - Scheme will help vs a zone defense. Against man, the receiver needs to beat the DB. - McIrish - 7:27pm 10/1/23
    - I’ve been saying they should put Tyree in motion just like Bama did with Devanta Smith. [NT] - jray - 10:20pm 10/1/23
  - Talent/speed….and our 2 best of 3 consistent targets that can get open were also out. Enter the TE O [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 7:10pm 10/1/23
  - I believe it's not so much "lack of talent", but lack of technique in beating press coverage. That - NEPA Irish - 6:30pm 10/1/23
    - For anyone not a freshman, shouldn’t this have been taught - ndphysics - 6:49pm 10/1/23
  - Or inexperience, or D’s with good secondary’s in the last 2 games? But that is certainly true. [NT] - Frank L - 6:30pm 10/1/23
