So if Freeman goes 9-3 or 8-4 is he back next year? [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:41pm 9/21/24 (13) [View All]
- Yes, but he shouldn't be. - AlbanyIRISH - 8:21am 9/22/24
- You’re kidding? Right? [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 7:07am 9/22/24
- Yes. Even if he goes 3-9 he is back. No way ND cuts another Black HC loose after 3 years [NT] - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 11:12pm 9/21/24
  - This. [NT] - irishone - 10:15am 9/22/24
  - BINGO...You got it...never in million years! [NT] - NEPA Irish - 5:23am 9/22/24
- With this schedule that's like going 5-7 [NT] - irishsmashmouth - 10:45pm 9/21/24
- Of course. Why would he not be? - humbaba - 9:23pm 9/21/24
- Yes [NT] - Fisher01 - 9:15pm 9/21/24
- Probably. Better question is should he? [NT] - Frank L - 8:55pm 9/21/24
  - Is that really a question at this point….at least baring a miraculous turn around in team effort? [NT] - ndinga - 10:23pm 9/21/24
- Yes. I think he gets 1 more year with his coordinators [NT] - LanceManion - 8:43pm 9/21/24
  - Denbrock hasn't been too impressive either. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:48pm 9/21/24
    - Nope, but Leonard limits him. Thank the sweet baby Jesus we picked up Collins. Would love to see him - Frank L - 8:57pm 9/21/24

Both UL and GT had less than 60~ yards rushing - spiff72nd - 8:39pm 9/21/24 (3) [View All]

Leonard would make a good wishbone QB in the old days [NT] - spiff72nd - 8:37pm 9/21/24 (3) [View All]
- The option pitch would be too long for him to throw [NT] - ColeyO - 9:33pm 9/21/24

I see why Staes transferred to TN. Our rank at 17/18 may be too high. - LanceManion - 8:33pm 9/21/24 (5) [View All]
- Maybe is correct [NT] - ColeyO - 9:36pm 9/21/24
- I think the O would be fine if anyone respected their ability to pass more than 5 yds. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:36pm 9/21/24
  - Too far [NT] - ColeyO - 9:35pm 9/21/24
  - That’’s the problem in a nutshell [NT] - LanceManion - 8:42pm 9/21/24

Nico Iamaleava sure looks good for a Frosh QB. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:31pm 9/21/24 (10) [View All]
- I bet Carr would look good [NT] - murph92675 - 8:32pm 9/21/24
  - IF OL is healthy next year, give Carr a shot. Youth is the future [NT] - LanceManion - 8:35pm 9/21/24
    - Give somebody a shot THIS year. It’s already become like the pros. “Leonard got $1.2 million so we - TakethetrainKnute - 7:17am 9/22/24
    - Yeah right. Freeman is already looking for the next, best ACC QB that he can recruit to ND [NT] - IrishChristopher - 9:45pm 9/21/24
    - i’m betting on another transfer [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 8:58pm 9/21/24
      - I would bet he and his family will have that chat if it hasn’t happened already. I think there is - ndphysics - 6:13am 9/22/24
    - If they are going no where. It needs to start now. [NT] - murph92675 - 8:37pm 9/21/24
      - I support that. And if not now, then certainly after next loss. [NT] - LanceManion - 8:39pm 9/21/24
  - I'm sure of it. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:34pm 9/21/24
    - But he'll probably transfer before we ever see him play. [NT] - DiscoRick - 8:34pm 9/21/24

        Fair point [NT] - LanceManion - 8:44pm 9/21/24
- Defense looks good and we’ll keep us in games. Offense is a whole different matter. [NT] - MuskyTommy - 7:52pm 9/21/24
- None. After holtz left, we haven’t had that at all. It like someone - ndphysics - 7:41pm 9/21/24
- Nope. Me neither. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:38pm 9/21/24

Updated season expectations with scores: 8-4 or 7- 5 (Assuming Angeli does not become the starter) - oldirish - 7:21pm 9/21/24 (11) [View All]
- Yeah, the Purdue blowout was a mirage. That program is pathologically busted. [NT] - SteveM - 7:54pm 9/21/24
- 9-3 or 8-4 as they play all flawed teams that aren’t top shelf. [NT] - Frank L - 7:29pm 9/21/24
- If Angeli didn’t get in 1st half today it’s going to take an injury to get him in [NT] - ndphysics - 7:24pm 9/21/24
  - Unfortunately, I agree. [NT] - oldirish - 7:25pm 9/21/24
- I think we’ll drop either UL or GT but otherwise win out [NT] - LanceManion - 7:23pm 9/21/24
  - I don't see us winning at USC and most likely losing both UL and GT. [NT] - oldirish - 7:26pm 9/21/24
    - In any case, one more loss and we’re 100% dead in the CFP [NT] - LanceManion - 7:28pm 9/21/24
      - Would you want to be in the CFP with this steaming pile of an O? [NT] - Frank L - 7:31pm 9/21/24
        unequivically no. It would be embarrassing. [NT] - oldirish - 10:08am 9/22/24
        
        As it sits today, no. If we improve, maybe. We need to build momentum. [NT] - LanceManion - 8:21pm 9/21/24
        Sure… but Freeman ain’t Bob the Builder… [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 7:30am 9/22/24

Did MF say that if RL can’t make those throws in practice then don’t call them in the game? [NT] - volgairish - 7:00pm 9/21/24 (5) [View All]
- So no passes to the RBs and TE in the flat? [NT] - ndphysics - 7:43pm 9/21/24

  - The is could be enough to do us in even if we win out. [NT] - ndphysics - 7:15pm 9/21/24
  - A lot of FB left to play, but emphasizes need for dominant wins [NT] - LanceManion - 7:13pm 9/21/24
    - I think the NIU loss kills ND's chances of making playoff. [NT] - SanJoseCAFan - 7:15pm 9/21/24
      - At the end of the season a whole bunch of teams will be jockeying for spots. - ndphysics - 7:17pm 9/21/24

        I don’t see us winning all 3 against Louisville GA tech and Stanford [NT] - ndphysics - 7:29pm 9/21/24
      - You may be right. If so, shame on MF. This was set up for a run. [NT] - LanceManion - 7:17pm 9/21/24
