Defense struggling to get off the field on 3rd down. But in fairness, they have been on the field almost the entire game.Ironman92;1766264 wrote:That's a great thing and also a bad thing...IF THE DEFENSE can't make a stop. Offense waiting to go!

Is this for real?
@slmandel: With 1:54 left in the first quarter, Notre Dame, which returned a kickoff for a TD, has yet to run an offensive play.

Not impressed with Stanford's play calling and offensive sets.

ND can't keep trading FGs for TDs. Finally get a stop on D and only come away with a FG is tough.

I don't think Stanford will score 10 more points. ND going to pass 30 pointssherm03;1766270 wrote:ND can't keep trading FGs for TDs. Finally get a stop on D and only come away with a FG is tough.
Stanford's play calling reminds me of OSU last week

Will Fuller finally showing up after being pretty much non-existent the last 2 weeks.

Oklahoma State has a better claim to be in the playoff than Ohio State if they win tonight.

Kizer makes a great play and then fucking fumbles before the half. Even getting 3 there would have been huge with ND getting the ball to start the second half. Fuck.

How so? Don't forget they have an FCS opponent, same reason UNC not being taken seriously. OSU also has a better loss.IggyPride00;1766275 wrote:Oklahoma State has a better claim to be in the playoff than Ohio State if they win tonight.

I am amazed with a trip to the playoff on the line ND is choking this game away. A trip to the playoff is sitting right there for them to be locked in stone and they don't want it.

Not in stone at all. They still need help, even if they win. If Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State, I think they get in...even if ND beats Stanford.IggyPride00;1766278 wrote:I am amazed with a trip to the playoff on the line ND is choking this game away.

A win over Oklahoma is better than anything on the Buckeyes schedule, and they have a 2nd win over over TCU that is equal to the Buckeyes best win. Their only loss is to a top 10 team.slingshot4ever;1766277 wrote:How so? Don't forget they have an FCS opponent, same reason UNC not being taken seriously. OSU also has a better loss.
The Buckeyes best win is a 3 loss Michigan team. It just isn't an impressive resume at all quite frankly.
They have only 1 win against a top 25 team. That is not the makings of a playoff team.

No shot at the playoffs for Notre Dame. They need to win this just to get to the Fiesta Bowl.

Stanford has to have receivers open over the middle after a fake/play action

I don't think ND wants to play OSU. It will be a blood bath but 50 points depdning on if Urban uses Zeek or not.

Terrible stubbornness by Stanford.....there is a reason we've only seen ND's punter once. I'd guess ND scores within 2-3 minutes

Oklahoma is in at this point.
Winner of Iowa/MSU in for sure.
Florida would need to pull off the upset of the century or Bama is in for sure.
Winner of NC/Clemson has to be in as well since NC would have the best win of any of the 1 loss teams, with Clemson having the 2nd best resume of the 1 loss teams if chaos occurred with the SEC title game.

Throwing downfield has worked but with lead they just go with some clock eating
Trusting of the defense this hasn't been very good
