- Easy solution: Use Lou's wishbone formation - MarkHarman - 10:45am 11/16/25
  - i believe holtz ran the T in short yardages. and, yes, ND should run that. [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 10:54am 11/16/25
    - Yep and used defense back Jeff Burris in the formation. Scored a few TD’s. [NT] - MuskyTommy - 11:45am 11/16/25
- Updated. RZ offense #120. This is not nitpicking but an actual big picture issue. - ELP - 8:56am 11/16/25
  - Denbrock needs to move on,. - AlbanyIRISH - 9:37am 11/16/25
    - i don’t like his scheme, play calling or prep. I wouldn’t mind seeing Rudolph and him move - WestCoastIrishFan - 10:58am 11/16/25

So...ND falls to #10 and Oklahoma moves ahead of them...or ND stays at #9? [NT] - SanJoseCAFan - 11:10pm 11/15/25 (12) [View All]
- Oklahoma’s offense is not good - NDWisconsin - 9:58am 11/16/25
- If CFP looks to eye test/complete team we rank above OU. - jrdjr84 - 9:19am 11/16/25
- Alabama should be lower than us and Oklahoma [NT] - ndphysics - 6:46am 11/16/25
  - They won’t be…they play a FAR tougher schedule - WoodstockIrish - 8:06am 11/16/25
- ESPN has Oklahoma ahead of ND [NT] - NDQuebec - 6:17am 11/16/25
- ND should be ahead of both. - AlbanyIRISH - 6:09am 11/16/25
- As of 11.12 the Allstate CFP predictor gave us an 80% chance of getting in if we win out. - LanceManion - 5:25am 11/16/25
- ND won't fall this week - McIrish - 11:22pm 11/15/25
  - They wont be ranked anymore and now play two more ranked teams - WoodstockIrish - 8:08am 11/16/25
- Bleacher Report has ND 8 OU 9 ALA 10 [NT] - murph92675 - 11:12pm 11/15/25

Manning really is unimpressive [NT] - LanceManion - 10:38pm 11/15/25 (14) [View All]
- The masses were sold another bill of goods by the ESPN led sports media - Clem - 7:32am 11/16/25
- He needs better glasses. [NT] - AlbanyIRISH - 6:30am 11/16/25
- He has not performed as well as advertised but I think the whole Texas team is more overrated and - THEISMANCARR - 2:22am 11/16/25
  - Sark has never impressed me as a head coach. He's technically competent, BUT seems to lack killer - LanceManion - 5:53am 11/16/25
- He does not read the field. He throws into double coverage - KWIRISH - 11:34pm 11/15/25
  - And his receivers know that. Just watch their body language in the huddle and on the sidelines - LanceManion - 5:50am 11/16/25
    - it seems about 20% of his passes have zero chance of success, like he is throwing darts at aCarnival - KWIRISH - 7:44am 11/16/25
- I was thinking the same thing watching - McIrish - 10:44pm 11/15/25
  - His mechanics have gotten sloppy - ndunabomber - 11:37pm 11/15/25
- He puts Sark in a rough spot [NT] - murph92675 - 10:44pm 11/15/25
  - Sark is a Brian Kelly - keep it close and try to win tough games at the end with improbable heroics. - LanceManion - 5:46am 11/16/25
- Absolutely agree. If his name isn’t Manning, not sure he is a Division 1 QB. [NT] - notredame678 - 10:41pm 11/15/25
  - He is a FBS QB, but top tier? - ndunabomber - 11:06pm 11/15/25
    - By QBR, he's the 57th ranked QB (Carr 10). He would do well in a JJ McCarthy scenario [LINK] - LanceManion - 5:45am 11/16/25
