- I don't understand why teams don't go 5 wide and play 6 on 6 instead of 22 guys in the box [NT] - murph92675 - 3:45pm 10/12/25
- Freeman needs to learn when to kick a field goal - Fisher01 - 11:13am 10/12/25
  - Yep. Especially in close games [NT] - ndphysics - 1:38pm 10/12/25

  - Brian Kelly's offences at ND (except when Chip Long ran the O) averaged 88th in red zone. - Clem - 9:01am 10/12/25
  - Let’s do a slow developing roll out when we need a yard. That’s play calling. [NT] - LanceManion - 8:44am 10/12/25
    - That was worse than the wildcat. [NT] - AlbanyIRISH - 10:15am 10/12/25

  - Michigan is a horrible at tackling, for sure. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 1:52pm 10/12/25
- This is a good test. Very similar teams in many ways. - LanceManion - 8:35am 10/12/25
- If the ND D can’t pressure the QB, ND will have to win a shootout. [NT] - jray - 8:32am 10/12/25
  - Will be a tough one BUT think about the experience Carr is getting & so far holding his own - LanceManion - 8:42am 10/12/25
- Can’t let them run the ball like they did yesterday. I fear the stupid ball possession - ndphysics - 6:17am 10/12/25

Unpopular opinion? Price should be RB1 - MarkHarman - 8:48pm 10/11/25 (13) [View All]
- He's good but not as good as Love by a longshot. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 11:28am 10/15/25
- Love is dancing too much and looking for the highlight play. They'll get him straightened out and - Clem - 11:28am 10/12/25
- The early runs are always the toughest, and the late runs are where you get more yards - jrdjr84 - 11:15am 10/12/25
- Definitely. I hate waiting the first few series for our running game to start when Price goes in. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 9:17pm 10/11/25
  - Price 7.4 YPC, Love 5.4. That's a significant difference [NT] - MarkHarman - 9:39pm 10/11/25
- Both are good. But Love is a way better inside runner. And they do key on him. - DiscoRick - 9:07pm 10/11/25
  - Disagree. He waits too long, and then leaves his feet, allowing an easy tackle. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 9:16pm 10/11/25
    - The hurdling crap has to stop. [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 8:41am 10/12/25
    - Price puts the ball on the ground. [NT] - DiscoRick - 9:22pm 10/11/25
      - I hear you. And that cannot be ignored. But Price would soften up defenses for Love. - NedoftheHill - 9:24pm 10/11/25
- They're keying on Love. Different styles. Love is a better inside runner and hammer. - DiscoRick - 9:05pm 10/11/25
