Guess they couldn't, too much cheese and beer up there.... Purdue vs Wisconsin cancelled

It's unfortunate that Trevor Lawrence isn't going to play, but that news along with stud DE Xavier Thomas missing the first half for targeting gives ND a better chance to win. ACC football is not very good, ND has the best defense Clemson will have seen and Clemson is by far the best team ND will have seen. But as much as I've been anticipating this weekend's game, the only game that will matter will be the game in December. If ND doesn't slip up (BC, NC) these 2 teams should meet in the ACC championship with the winner moving to the playoffs. By then I'm sure Clemson will be at full strength. ND has a great defense and a solid running game along with offensive line, but the passing game is what makes me worried. Clemson is just on another level, and when they lose players they have a backup 5 start QB and a backup 5 star DL to replace them with. You'd think at some point ND will win a "big" game (Miami, Michigan, Georgia, Clemson, Alabama) and I hope Saturday is it, there's a lot going in ND's favor. But it's Tuesday and who knows what will happen between now and then.

Jim Peters tweeted that the 2 head coaches had talked but traveling appeared to be an issue

Too bad, was looking forward to this game. Hopefully Marian is able to stay healthy and make a run in the tournament. So who gets the NIC north crown?

Would have loved to see Valpo/Mville under normal circumstances with full, healthy lineups. It's a shame, but welcome to 2020

Looks like ND/Wake will now play December 12

Read somewhere that South Florida tested and all tests came back negative so at least this only effects Notre Dame (and Wake Forest)

Buck LB

Kiser played great, got the game ball. Had 8 tackles or so and always seemed to be around the ball. My 2 takeaways from this game were 1. South Florida is really, really bad 2. The depth at Notre Dame has come so far, especially on defense. Had ND missed 7 or 8 guys the day before a game In years past it would normally be a scary situation. Granted USF is not very good but I saw a lot of young, first time guys making plays which was fun to watch.

Great offensive mind obviously, wasn’t ready to be a head coach let alone head coach at ND. Was able to bring in top talent but IMO didn’t really progress those players once on campus. In a side note, Charlie Weis Jr is an up and comer in OC ranks, and his south Florida team comes to south bend tomorrow. Sounds like he’s going to be a head coach sooner than later.

I think the NFL ship has sailed for BK, and with this latest extension thru 2024 ND will be his final landing spot. As for the topic, I think an original NFL franchise like the bears would be really hard to turn down. I think it really depends on if the coach likes the recruiting aspect of the college game. As a fan of both teams I don’t think you could go wrong at either place but as of this moment I think ND may be trending a little better than the Bears.

Happy for the players and coaches. Wonder if Pac10 will follow suit?

Lots of things to like after this game and obviously some areas to work on. RB Williams looked good and the freshman TE Mayer will be a handful. Chris Tyree showed explosiveness that the offense needs. Defense settled in after the 1st qtr, Foskey had a huge game, Owusu-Koramoah showed why he’s a future 1st round pick at lb and hopefully Kyle Hamilton ankle is what BK says and is only an ankle sprain because he is a legitimate difference maker any position he plays (safety, nickel, goal line cb). Biggest concerns are the OL and qb play. I was surprised at how well duke dominated the LOS against the returning offensive line of notre dame, especially early. To have all 5 starters back up front and only have like 4 yards of offensive after 3 possessions is troublesome. Needing a fake punt run on 4th and 8 to get your offfense going is concerning. And Book didn’t look or play the way you’d want a 3rd year starter to look like. I think a lot of this has to do with 1. Duke having a good game plan and giving the Irish looks they weren’t prepared for 2. Book playing with all new skilled position players 3. 1st game type action since the bowl game. I know some fans just can’t believe how bad book and the line played, how they only beat duke by 14. IMO I’ll take the win any time, they improved and made adjustments as needed and pulled away final half if not 3 quarters. Lot to be excited about, just need to keep improving and hopefully stay healthy.

Why did LaLumiere (LaPorte) stop playing football?

Just an elementary school, Lincoln Elementary I believe

I’m in the twitter world and use TGD every Friday toggling thru scores. Seems most high schools have a twitter account and post updates as well. I don’t have any suggestions as I get exactly what I need from TGD account.

Anyone have info on Osceola Grace? How long have they had a team and who’s the head coach? Is this the same school that tried starting up football a couple seasons ago or was that an Elkhart area school. Just wondering Adams Jimtown marian john glenn kv elkhart cathedral andrean

I’m sorry, why did Penn/St. X cancel? Is Ohio later start?

Could be a good matchup

As someone who enjoys starting the season off with the battle for the cracker barrel, I need to know if 1300 people are going to the game? I don't want to be 1301 and get denied access at the gate!! Kind of kidding, but also kind of serious. Will teams be selling tickets at the gate or do ticket purchases need to be made prior to game day?

Thought they might have Elkhart-Concord to kick off the season since it’s the first game for the new Elkhart HS. That 9/11 game between Warsaw and Mishawaka will have a lot of viewers, and could be the quickest game of the season!

Whiting made the trip to Evansville last season I think... that’s a long long bus ride

Feel for the kids. If they miss their season is it possible they could suit up late this winter and schedule some Illinois schools?

My wonder is who is going to police who comes in? The actual law enforcement? The admin who usually hang out track side? My mom sells tickets at our local high school, and I can guarantee you she’ll be letting everyone in, especially if she knows you. (I’m assuming she won’t be selling tickets this season) Or will they just lock or close the gate once the away team arrives?

Could or would they reclassify if some schools can’t participate in post season? Or would that be way too difficult to do? Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.. Doesn’t Andrean always have a special team?!? Haha QB Mayersky (sp?) was a stud on both sides of the ball last year for BG
