It was a gritty W. True freshmen along with RS freshmen and sophomores played on the DL in the 2nd half. CP scored 9 points in the half. Yes they shot themselves in the foot at times, but give credit to the young guys. Also credit to Schmidt. I watched as their 310 C pounded our undersized NG (Though Beach impressed me with his play when he took on the big guy) and then Schmidt moved the NG off the C or had him slant away from the big guy. It worked pretty well.

I think so.

It occurs to me that Schuster's RS is being saved.

Blubaugh wasn't in the same zip code as the WR.

Saw that too. Was that Beach? Not Morrison.

Inside hasn't been bad either.

Is goal tending good?

Who among us is "fit" to assess any coach? But it's done all the time here. As for Schmidt, did you see the stats listed early in this post? Is it really just players' fault the D can't stop the opposition on 3rd down or is it more than that?

Great job on the research. Sad, sad results.

That's a very good point and one that needs consideration. The last couple of groups have provided hope. That includes this class. Hard to see them staying if the guy in charge is gone.

I don't get this sentiment at all. How many of Nick Saban's assistants are HC's somewhere else? He played against one yesterday, Jimbo Fisher. Kirby Smart at Georgia and others have been successful. Same for Urban Meyer and his coaching tree which includes the Texas coach, Herman. Picking from a successful program seems to make sense.

My Twitter feed is nothing but UND goals

By the same token, we'd take an SU coordinator any day. And each of their last two hires was the DC (though I'm not sure if either had any HC experience).

I understand, but a new guy coming in almost ALWAYS has his own guys at the coordinator spots. Danny is young, energetic, I bet he's a great recruiter. Brings a lot to the table.

I laughed more than I should have at this.

If he's gone, I'd want Danny. The O in general has been so much better and earlier this week one of the more discouraged posters noted that "Danny got his QB" so you hope to see that work out.

Names please?

Earlier this year most of the posters here agreed that IF the team made the playoffs and got at least one W, Bubba was coming back next year. They COULD run the table, make the playoffs and get that W. Still saying he's out? If that happens?

THAT ball needed to be caught. Nice pass.

The first down play QB sneak that went for a first down caught my attention.

Are the refs required to toss a flag on each play the QB gets nicked??

Is there a "Jo Jo Sanchez" on the roster?

Meanwhile the other ND team is killing UNI 39-14 so that means that UNI will be in the top 10 this week.

Although he got hammered, Maag dropped a TD pass that many receivers catch.

Jaxson go down on that sideline? Just adding injury to insult.
