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.

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

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 dont understand how you can blitz so much and yet get so little pressure.
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
by averagegatsby on Sep 26, 2009 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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?
Desperately hoping for Desperate Measures
by averagegatsby on Sep 26, 2009 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

There's a much needed defensive series.

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.

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'd rather see Crist passing

by jdh90 on Sep 26, 2009 8:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
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 0 recs
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.

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?).

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
by jdh90 on Sep 26, 2009 9:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

but the other linemen make it rough on him.

But not top tackle recruit in the country good.

He should be a nice draft pick
I think he could go in the second round.
by jdh90 on Sep 26, 2009 9:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

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.

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.
