Notre Dame at Purdue: All Day Open Thread
Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Purdue Boilermakers, Sep 26, 2009 8:00 PM EDT
No rest for the weary as a beaten up Notre Dame offense and a beaten down Notre Dame defense travel to West Lafayette for a primetime showdown with the Boilermakers. There is great college football action all day and night, so stop by over the course of the afternoon and during the game tonight.
Go Irish, Beat Boilers.

I still hate Drew Brees to this day...
But I would rather remove Boston College than Purdue, at least we occasionally beat Purdue.

Joining the fun here
MSU, Purdue, BC, Navy—these games are all high-risk, no reward kind of deals imho. Without a conference I can’t see how we can lighten up on games like this and still maintain a schedule strength that wouldn’t be either laughable or incredibly tough.
Oh please...
Notre Dame has a cake walk schedual. It really couldn’t get much easier.

This one is going to get ugly early folks.
If you’re a Notre Dame fan, dont waste your time with this one.
I know I wont.
Prediction: Purdue 28 – Notre Dame 21
Top 10 recruiting class huh? lol

Well this prediction is going to look like shit
at the end of this one.
Not a surprise after realizing who posted it though.
You have got to be kidding me...
I predict a ND loss at 28 – 21.
They eek out a pathetic win against a below average team 24 – 21.
You people watch this team all the time and I still know more about them than you. Pick something else to do with your time. Your not spending it wisely if you can’t see how these games are going to play out.
ND is a joke.

I hate Purdue so much Im thinking about benching Brees in my fantasy league...
okay so maybe not
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
WHAT THE FUCK!!!
Why would you run out of the shotgun for one yard… GODDAMNIT!!! Terrible play call.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
I dont understand how you can blitz so much and yet get so little pressure.

Whenever your defensive line gets no pressure
you linebackers aren’t going to find lanes to get to the QB.
Then why send the Linebackers?

Well, that's Tenuta's MO
I don’t condone it, it leaves the secondary alone for those routes to sit underneath. I think he wants to force the issue to make the QB make errant throws.
Coming into the year, I thought the D-line would be talented enough to get to the qb alone, guess I was wrong.
I really thought they would be better, but I guess Nevada is just that bad

Im no QB scout...
but Clausen has a weird throwing motion. Looks like he torques his whole back and side arms it a little. My amateur eye tells me that is going to lead to some back problems.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
I hate the Big East refs more than the Big Ten refs
who’s playing this game? The guys in stripes or the guys with pads on?
I dont think Clausen is going to be great in the long run

How did he not see that guy coming.

by averagegatsby on Sep 26, 2009 8:46 PM EDT up reply actions
That last stop is one of the reasons Tenuta likes to blitz
TFL’s become huge. But really think he does it to force the issue for opposing QB’s. When we play USC I really hope he schemes well, their line is great.
I love competent game callers...
that know the difference between the end around and a reverse.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
Id rather see Crist...
but only because this offense is far more effective with a QB under center
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
by averagegatsby on Sep 26, 2009 8:58 PM EDT up reply actions
I know, which is why I think we'd be better suited
if Crist got majority snaps today. It’s not like he’s an incompetent QB, I think he has Quinn’s potential.
I silently root for Clausen to get injured or suck so he gets PT.
I agree...
Im not convinced Clausen is great.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
by averagegatsby on Sep 26, 2009 9:02 PM EDT up reply actions
I've just never thought he had enough arm strength
of course, that’s what scouts have said about Quinn and why Russel was better (how’s that working out Oakland?).
Being a hardcore Chiefs fan...
I have seen first hand how completely AWFUL JaMarcus is. That guy can’t hit wide open receivers that are 6 yards out

I know, but we do have some young talented players coming up
and Seantrel (5* O-lineman, #1 prospect this year.) has ND as a top 5 school
ND has been getting top recruits that haven't panned out...
Until more recruits prove their worth Im not going to get my hopes up as much. Floyd was great, but Shaq Evans hasn’t impressed. and to be honest I dont think Sam Young was as good as he was built up to be.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
by averagegatsby on Sep 26, 2009 9:03 PM EDT up reply actions
I think he is good...
But not top tackle recruit in the country good.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
by averagegatsby on Sep 26, 2009 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree... I think he is a very solid player...
and worth a valuable draft pick… But I had visions of him becoming a Walter Jones or Orlando Pace type. And yes that is probably unrealistic, but he was a top 10 recruit in the country.
I think ND gets a little bit of the Duke treatment in judging players in their recruiting classes.

19th overal recruit in the country

I think offensive linemen
are judged by there size too much.
I’m not sure how great Young’s ability was, but he was 300+ with good speed IIRC.
Could be.
He was ranked only behind Andre Smith who went 7 I think. Its actually fairly impressive how well the ESPN college recruit ranker is at predicting future talent.

WOW!!!
I dont think Ive ever seen a late hit by the receiving team on a kick return before.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
I say Bruton lulz
he’s gone sadly.
Man what is his name? Number 12 ugh, why does his name escape me?
I maintain that Quinn had the greatest play fake EVER!

I just meant Brady had a ridiculous fake hand off...
the way he would turn his body to the defense and hold the body to the side… Unbelievable.

Brian Smith just got beat.
Luckily it was overthrown. They keep going to the middle, why don’t we put a safety there? I’m confident our DB’s can cover the outside seeing as we have only allowed underneath catches.
I think a well executed screen has the potential to kill us

I wish that on some blitzes he'd leave a cover
or put someone in the flat. That could go a long way in stopping the dump offs.
more zone blitzes
and less all out blitzes

That Julio Jones kid is turning out to be as good as advertised.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
Yep
I think he has Calvin Johnson potential. He should be a great NFL player. I think Floyd has that potential, but is less likely to reach it.
I dunno...
maybe Im not capable of being objective… But Floyd is as good as any college receiver Ive seen, and he was on pace for a ridiculous year this year before he got hurt.

The only thing I don't like about Floyd is his secondary speed
It seems like he doesn’t have that “GO!” speed.
Jerry Rice wasn't that fast
You can be an exceptional receiver without blazing speed.

that develops though...
and Im sure thats the type of thing that only gets better. I read (or heard or saw) somewhere that Rice could make 90 degree cuts with out turning his hips.

if I see that Volkswagen commercial one more time
I might assault a random German tourist. I’ve been watching sports all day and must have seen it 20 times already.

the one where they’re driving around and they can see the words on the road in front of them and say “I think we were in a car commercial.” It’s not the worst commercial ever, I’ve just seen it a trillion times this week.
