- When the pressure comes quick, Pyne can't see. He needs the line farther from him to see at all. He - tky21 - 9:22pm 11/13/22
  - Then why is lack of height no problem for Bryce Young and Stetson Bennett? [NT] - MarkHarman - 10:46pm 11/13/22
    - Because they are way more athletic and talented than Pyne in just about every single way. [NT] - tky21 - 6:51am 11/14/22
      - Yet he has multiple rushing TDS this year - WoodstockIrish - 11:13am 11/14/22
- I saw the first half but needed to go out and missed the second half - bobdrake - 7:13pm 11/13/22

    - I laughed alongside the the applause in the stadium when James Alridge got the 1st first down [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 10:05pm 11/13/22
      - I was there too, more of a mocking applause.. - Chrisb - 12:32am 11/14/22
        Being pitied is the worst. Part of what made the 2012 NC game so awful... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 9:25am 11/14/22
  - Not sure but possibly MSU,. 12-3 final,1965 [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 8:22pm 11/13/22
  - Good point about Rees and not being able to counter the other coaches adjustments. [NT] - jray - 7:41pm 11/13/22
    - Zero coverage. Get used to it for the next 3 games. - ELP - 8:28pm 11/13/22
  - I think it was 2008 at USC. ND didn’t get their first 1st down until the third quarter. That was - MuskyTommy - 7:20pm 11/13/22
    - [Delete. I was thinking of the 98 game, Chappell & Battle were 7/22 passing w/ 4 interceptions.] [NT] - NedoftheHill - 8:37pm 11/13/22
    - 120 yards of total offense the whole game. ND finally got 3 points in the 4th quarter - bobdrake - 7:25pm 11/13/22
      - My recollection is 3-0 ND at end of first half, and negative yards in 2 ND half. [NT] - cubsfanin16 - 8:31pm 11/13/22
- Wouldn't it make sense to put Tyree in the wildcat with Estime or Diggs next to him for read option? - jrdjr84 - 5:36pm 11/13/22
  - When things don't work, why not try something else? [NT] - bobdrake - 7:15pm 11/13/22

    - Iowa makes me think that. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 5:53am 11/14/22
- Well, he has a QB with serious limitations. When the D gets a push, Pyne can’t see. Weak arm - tky21 - 4:08pm 11/13/22
  - Sure, but knowing that, you've got to move the pocket, run play action, QB draws... - jabbadoody6 - 9:49pm 11/13/22
  - I fault Rees for not checking it down to the flat when all they are doing is banzai blitz charges. - Frank L - 4:17pm 11/13/22
    - I missed the game but from what I've heard this would be the correct adjustment. Head scratching. [NT] - Jerseymick - 5:01pm 11/13/22

- No way that happens. They will play w more intensity than we will. - murph78 - 3:55pm 11/13/22
  - Dunno, way this team is playing, either extreme could show up. - Frank L - 4:40pm 11/13/22
    - Well, this is true. Perhaps we will come out angry over that pitiful 2nd half performance. [NT] - murph78 - 4:45pm 11/13/22
