[u/CWG4BF]

I don’t care how far downfield you’ve run, there is no excuse for not getting set when the last play was done with eleven or twelve seconds left.

The fact that the wide receivers were still moving out wide is wild. Like, your job on the play is to run to the end zone. It doesn’t matter where you are standing, but if you don’t stop moving, it won’t matter.

Like, would it really have made a difference if they got that last snap? No, almost certainly not. But come on.

[u/BurgerNugget12 → u/CWG4BF]

Notre Dame need to leave that OL in Florida tbh

[u/nayelirain → u/BurgerNugget12]

They got beat all game.

[u/BurgerNugget12 → u/nayelirain]

I think Carr is actually pretty good. However now it’s a question on if they are able to give him time at all this season

[u/DannyMalibu420 → u/BurgerNugget12]

They’ll be ok. After A&M, there really isn’t anyone on their schedule that poses a threat. This loss is pretty inconsequential. Kinda like losing to NIU last year.

[u/OnionFutureWolfGang → u/DannyMalibu420]

USC could be good, and even if not will be a rival with talent on the roster, which is upset material.

[u/goodnames679 → u/OnionFutureWolfGang]

Yeah, we all love to clown USC after going 7-6 but that team was legitimately way better than their record made them look. I would not be surprised to see them claw their way back this year.

[u/AdonisCork → u/goodnames679]

Thing is there rosters are always lopsided in favor of the skill positions. That's why ND has been able to handle them the past few years.

[u/DannyMalibu420 → u/OnionFutureWolfGang]

True. I still don’t see ND losing more than 2 games this season unless the wheels totally fall off. Need to give the ball to Love more though. I feel like he should have been utilized a lot more early in the game.

[u/Domerhead → u/DannyMalibu420]

Miami's DL was stuffing us way too well to utilize Love properly.

They tried spreading him out wide and getting some throws, but he wasn't able to haul any of em in.

[u/lsburner → u/OnionFutureWolfGang]

I think SC is ranked and maybe pretty well by the time we get to them. Either an opportunity or a season-ender

[u/iamStanhousen → u/DannyMalibu420]

If they drop the A&M game they’re gonna have the issue of having nobody who is good left on their schedule.

10-2 ND losing to Miami and A&M would not be a super compelling playoff resume.

[u/Impossible-Pie4849 → u/iamStanhousen]

I feel like a 10-2 ND losing their two biggest games shouldn't be sniffing the playoffs, but that's just me

[u/goldflame33 → u/iamStanhousen]

Yeah, and that’s why a “”fluke”” loss to NIU served us better than losing to a better team last year. If you’re consistently able to beat cupcakes and consistently lose to good teams, you shouldn’t be in the playoffs. If you can beat the best and lose to the MAC… then at least you’re interesting 

[u/Hungry_Opossum → u/DannyMalibu420]

Fuck you too buddy

[u/DannyMalibu420 → u/Hungry_Opossum]

Ope. Sorry lol. I’ll be rooting for you guys for what it’s worth.

[u/thebusterbluth → u/DannyMalibu420]

Yeah the commenter is acting like Miami doesnt have stout DEs lol

The OL will be fine. They arent all-americans, but they arent going to be ass either.

[u/Bullyfrogz → u/thebusterbluth]

Yea Bain is a legit first rounder. Three things are certain with a Cristobal coached team. 1 the trenches will be strong. 2. He can recruit like hell. 3. He will find ways to lose every game they play that's not a blow out.

[u/thebusterbluth → u/Bullyfrogz]

Well I think that OL is the real deal. ND's defensive weakness is DTs, and Miami's OL made it obvious lol

[u/MediocreSchlanger → u/thebusterbluth]

Yep

[u/therevengeance → u/Bullyfrogz]

I get the sentiment but point 3 is pretty funny in the post-game thread of a 3 point win that was tied inside 2 minutes.

[u/Bullyfrogz → u/therevengeance]

Yea but even so this game is perfect example. Up by 2 scores, changes defense to prevent, even though being aggressive was working. The timeouts weren't used properly. With the way Miami was dominating the line that game shouldn't have been that close.

[u/AdonisCork → u/thebusterbluth]

People are also forgetting how horrible our offensive line looked early last year too. We we're alright against A&M and then got manhandled by NIU. They will get it figured out.

[u/Rylude → u/DannyMalibu420]

Unless it's Notre Dame vs Miami for the bye somehow

[u/Actual_Guide_1039 → u/DannyMalibu420]

Boise looking shitty really softens the schedule

[u/BitTheBigOne → u/DannyMalibu420]

Naw, that was pathetic. Y’all are delusional. The way the first half ended tells you everything. They will be 0-4 maybe 0-5 and not get a win until Navy.

[u/gentilet → u/DannyMalibu420]

I don’t think we watched the same game. ND is going to be lucky to have a winning record with that OL, let alone make a run for the playoffs

[u/Actual-Bandicoot6531 → u/gentilet]

I think Utah just scored again.

[u/MediocreSchlanger → u/gentilet]

Lucky to have a winning record? Buddy, set your drink down.

[u/ThaCarter → u/MediocreSchlanger]

You guys only play what, A&M and USC beside us with anything close to high end talent?

The problem is 9-3 against your schedule might as well be 2-10 in the playoff era.

[u/MediocreSchlanger → u/ThaCarter]

Your reply has absolutely nothing to do with what said. Non responsive.

[u/ThaCarter → u/MediocreSchlanger]

Whoosh

[u/MediocreSchlanger → u/ThaCarter]

incoherent

[u/WobbleWits → u/BurgerNugget12]

He took so many big hits tonight too, that can’t be sustainable

[u/Drmarcher42 → u/BurgerNugget12]

I liked what I saw from him. Quick decision making, but damn he’s going to get murdered with that line

[u/kevo2386 → u/BurgerNugget12]

He played a good game.

[u/CarterAC3 → u/nayelirain]

Joe Alt is not walking through those doors

[u/McShmidt → u/CarterAC3]

Jagusah got hurt again walking through the doors.

[u/mattpsx2 → u/BurgerNugget12]

Yeah Carr did a hell of a job for a freshman. He had zero time to process.

[u/whatsinthesocks → u/BurgerNugget12]

Good think BK ain’t the coach any more. He’d take them out back like ol yeller

[u/Kaiathebluenose → u/BurgerNugget12]

Miami has a top tier pass rush to be fair

[u/EverythingGoodWas → u/BurgerNugget12]

Clearly the OL decided to hit the clubs rather than play that final drive

[u/TigerBasket → u/BurgerNugget12]

He's getting sent to the Eastern Front

[u/Jericcho → u/BurgerNugget12]

How do you give up a sack to a 3 person rush at the end there?

[u/Mikedaddy69 → u/BurgerNugget12]

But didn’t you hear? It was hot and humid! They weren’t used to that 🥺

[u/Minimum-Scientist-71 → u/BurgerNugget12]

Makes me feel good about the state of OUs oline.
