That's the problem with ND's scheduling. ACC is lame. FL State, Clemson, VA Tech fell off the table.NTSteveM ·
I'd say we need to be fairly dominant to overcome any refereeing hijinx. The ref issue really is anLanceManion ·
If you stop Toney, theyre not great. Plenty of film I'm sure they'll totally ignore on how to playDiscoRick ·

TBD whether this is just Kelly-ball 2+. And maybe the CFP had more to do with Riley Leonard than MF.LanceManion ·

Ash's zone and scheme stinks. Get back to what revived ND as a defensive team. The anti-AshNToldirish ·

He definitely seems deferential to the OC. But on D I think that's his style. Bend dont break ...DiscoRick ·

I'm comfortable with Carr checking, he just had a little bit of a bad passing day and at aTHEISMANCARR ·
That is no longer an issue. Marcus is a great recruiter and is a great leader who respondsTHEISMANCARR ·
Easy to kick a guy when he is down but Denbrock is well respected. I get frustrated onTHEISMANCARR ·
A HC can be a "players coach", but not too much of a players coach. Not sure about Marcus.NTSteveM ·
His practices have been said to be tough. We don't know. I think he is the perfect coachTHEISMANCARR ·
Give me a break. The players have always busted their asses for him and that's all you canTHEISMANCARR ·
He could be but he's not. Not yet. He needs to show an unwillingness to accept mediocrity.DiscoRick ·
Oh come on! I like Gruden but Marcus has gotten us to the point of being a threat to winTHEISMANCARR ·
Very true. I've been trying to place my finger on what's different. That's it, we seemed to haveoldirish ·
It's possible but I think he is trying to remain cool so his players don't panic. I am openTHEISMANCARR ·
Marcus has 1 job: make the CFP. If he doesn't do that two years in a row, he's on the hot seat.LanceManion ·
I think Denbrock has to go at year end, but especially so if no CFP. The only safe landing is a NC.LanceManion ·
I agree. I'm just pissed that Ash called such a vanilla game. But Denbrock is Kelly cancer.LanceManion ·
The one thing that elevated Ash on the list was the D he called when they scored the go ahead TD.LanceManion ·

I just hope he doesn’t become another James Franklin or Brian Kelly…..only winning gamesNEPA Irish ·
Freeman needs to update his paradigm. The James Franklin model died with Franklin. NC or bust.NTLanceManion ·

There is a growing trend of end-of-game officiating disasters in college football. Here are 3 cases.
If one really evaluates Carr, his long ball and end zone fade passes always have been poor. HeWestCoastIrishFan ·
I disagree his ball placement is very good. It's just a predictable overused call by Denbrock.NTDiscoRick ·
Nah, BYU was a wake up call. ND's play calling will be less conservative. At least for that game.DiscoRick ·
False. It sucks to lose but we sure didn't help ourselves. I believe every team, over thefaircatchcorby ·
