WolvesOnTheProwl

Kind of a boring game, think that had to do with Virginia’s starting quarterback being out. Irish got on top and were never threatened. You guys are right, while most teams keep their foot on the gas BK likes to go conservative and play it safe, at least in my opinion. I love Kyren Williams, he is so damn tough to bring down and run to watch. Also liked what I saw from the young safeties converted from cornerback/wide receiver (Ramon Henderson and Xavier Watts). They’ll be needed next season. And the frosh rb Diggs could be a beast next year replacing Williams. Irish should finish 11-1 and go to a good bowl and hopefully win it!!! I think when it’s all said and done ND will be one of the final 2 out. On another note, could this be one of the easiest schedules Notre Dame has ever had?

Not sure about on the field but off the field Lowell doesn’t have a ton of restaurants. George’s right across the street from the high school has an 8 page menu of just about everything. Mi Ranchito is a Mexican restaurant not too far down the road from the high school. Other than that you may need to stop and eat in crown point or merrillville which both have more options and aren’t too far away (cp like like 10 minutes from the square to Lowell HS)

1 Georgia 2 Oklahoma * 3 Alabama * 4 Oregon * 5 Cincinnati 6 Ohio St 7 Michigan * 8 Michigan St * * = 1 more loss coming for these teams

The defense really impressed me, holding navy under 200 yards of offense and out of the end zone. Albeit against a backup quarterback for a half the Irish defense played assignment correct. Have not seen Jack coan play live but it’s painful when you see a blitz coming that you think coan should see coming and he somehow does not. Happens at least twice a game.

I wonder about this too. Or another college program Good question, and would the nfl be interested in him I wonder….

Give them the Covenant Christian (Demotte) kids too or make them play at KV?

Hopefully Drayk Bowen and JoJo Johnson can make it 3/5 (JoJo is out for the season with an ACL)

Lot of growth in cedar lake and st john so yes IMO they will be moving up at some point

Yes, he wants to pursue both. I think it’s notre dame There’s about a 15/20 minute driving radius where there are positive things happening within the football program; Crown Point, Hanover Central, Lowell, and Lake Central.

There's not a lot of guys in the country who could replace Kyle Hamilton, and there certainly isn't anyone on ND's roster currently to replace him. Unless they hit on the safety recruit out of Iowa they are really high on, the Irish will almost have to look into the transfer portal to help solve the safety position for next season. Houston Griffith has been ok but isn't a big fan of contact (somewhat necessary to play safety) and DJ Brown is ok in a back up role playing minimal snaps, not playing every snap of the game. I thought some of the younger guys would be able to step up but that has not been the case like you guys mentioned. I hope Hamilton comes back after Navy, but that is going to be a major weakness heading into next season.

I meant to type brother actually. Kept hearing msu referred to as Michigan little brother last week

1. Georgia 2. Cincinnati 3. Alabama 4. Oklahoma 5. Michigan St 6. Ohio St 7. Oregon 8. Notre Dame I personally still do not want to see ND in the playoff, but the way things are trending it looks like they may be in the conversation (final spot or next 2 in) after the smoke clears. That is if they win out As a notre dame fan I loved seeing Sparty win over big blue

Listening to BK post game presser he said UNC on tape was a counter running team. But these teams, like 4th week in a row, that have a bye before playing ND change things up. BK said they ran zero counter runs last night (not sure if true but he should know). Not trying to make excuses just stating what I heard. But you’re right, the defense needs to play and tackle much better. Luckily navy won’t throw too much, the secondary needs to communicate better as there were a few blown assignments vs UNC.

They’ll need to tackle much much better vs Navy. That qb Howell had like a cheat code where he couldn’t be tackled or sacked, was very frustrating to watch.

I hope that wasn't the last we get to see of junior safety Kyle Hamilton in a Notre Dame uniform. He's going to miss this week vs. North Carolina with a knee issue. Sounds like it won't be season ending, but he's most likely a high first round draft pick who will have a decision to make in regards of if and when to come back to play.

Not sure if they’re considered a dark horse but the Mishawaka Cavemen with senior quarterback Justin Fisher (hopefully healthy). They should get Michigan city in the sectional and Valpo in the regional in what will be 2 outstanding matchups

USC Week, which means a game under the lights and a lot of recruits in town. The Irish should be able to handle the Trojans after not meeting last year. Also hope that the next Pete Carroll doesn't come and make USC what it was in the early 2000's.

I would say well what about Wisconsin, Cincinnati, USC, North Carolina?!?! But this is 2021 where about anything can happen. I think the Irish fall one more time this season, possibly to Virginia, due to the OL and inconsistencies of the QB position. Hope I'm wrong and they do win out, but I still don't think they are a playoff team. If they were, they would have beaten Cincinnati. My hope is for a quality New Years Day bowl win against a good team. But this is going to be fun to watch as we head down the home stretch and try and determine the 4 best teams in the country. Will the committee get it right?

Check that 28-14 MC 2nd qtr

Michigan city 27 crown point 7 2nd qtr

Hopefully his ankle or lower leg injury is not significant

So who’s your top 3 after Georgia?? Iowa, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, Michigan?? What a crazy year and we’re only about half way through

Really thought we’d see drew pyne but credit to jack coan for not feeling sorry for himself and delivering the game tying and winning drive.. what a 2 point conversion. As soon as he rolled out right I was like uh oh…. Much needed bye week coming up. 5-1 is somewhat impressive considering all the inconsistencies and lack of running game for the team.. Buchner definitely kept the defense honest in the run game but definitely needs work as a passer.

Thanks for the heads up, yes it looks like it's only being shown on ACC Network. Not sure if that's more a pain than playing on the Peacock App or about the same.

Think I might have spoken too soon. They (ND) release a weekly depth chart, which had Jack Coan listed at #1. But in his weekly presser BK said they will announce who the QB will be later on, and that internally they know who it is. So take that for what it's worth...
