Congratulations to ND on a hard fought win.

OMG, somebody shoot me. ND was totally dominant at the line of scrimmage, yet Purdue wasn't completely out of the game until late.

I too am now unsure if Coan is the answer but I also tend to be very anti “two platoon/rotation guy.”

I guess I get it but I’ve never been in love with it honestly.

Upcoming stretch (Wisconsin, Cincinnati and Virginia Tech) will go a long way in determining Notre Dame’s season.

Me neither. Tyler Buchner had a hamstring issue that’s why he didn’t play 2nd half. He makes the running game so much better and keeps the defense honest. 

Purdue had a couple calls that did not go there way, especially that no call for pass interference in the 4th qtr. Should have given them a first down and kept their drive alive. When asked after the game about max protection Brian Kelly said if they didn’t do some of the things they did George was going to wreck the day and they didn’t want George to wreck the day. After the first 2 series on offense I thought GK and the Purdue front were going to wreck the day. But the Irish offense did enough to win and the defense didn’t allow any big plays by David Bell.

Have not watched any Wisconsin or VTech but saw some of the IU/UC game yesterday. Wouldn’t be surprised if ND goes 1-2 in the next 3, especially if the hamstring issue lingers for TB. We shall see

And it’s a bummer the game vs Wisconsin is not at Camp Randall.  Probably a blessing in disguise for the Irish

It’s ND’s home game though. Last year was supposed to be the home game for Wisconsin at Lambeau, but it was canceled. Kind of glad it was. I never imagined a day that I would be rooting for the visiting team at Lambeau. 😄

Cincinnati didn't impress me much. That IU game was 2 yards and 1 fumble away from turning out differently.

So Penn State AND Cincinnati got lucky?  

Got it.

Earth shattering analysis, even from you.

When is the Penn State/Notre Dame game again? Try to stay on topic.

Just merging your “analysis” from two different threads.  Try to do better.

You should try to do better. I didn't say anything about Cincinnati being lucky. Get your facts straight. Again, wrong thread. Try again Tommy.

Just a question:  Aren’t MOST games between competent teams 1-2 plays away from “turning out differently?”

No

Gotcha.  I figured that any game that finished with a 10-14 point margin of victory “could have turned out differently” if the other team just hadn’t carried the little brown thing over the goal line or kicked it through the yellow posts.

You figured wrong. Try painting with a narrower brush. Yours is far too broad.

I wound say it is.  Camp Randall is a very tough place to play.  The environment is very intense.

I mean Purdue was 2-3 plays away yesterday (obvious missed PI call, ND FG that was controversial, tipped INT in the end zone) and still managed to lose by 14.

Do you play horseshoes as a hobby by chance?

How did plays in a Purdue game affect the Penn State and Cincinnati games? You're getting further and further out in left field. Keep digging your hole. And enroll yourself in a reading comprehension course. I'm out, I won't click on any more 'show this post' buttons to override the block I have on you.

LOL.

Irish fans Pyne for better days. 🤣

[Boilernation]

I completely underestimated just how bad of a QB Mertz is. Yikes. ND will survive again. I think your over 8.5 is a lock Temp. 

[PHJIrish]

It ain't over 'til it's over but Pyne has shined!😊

Milking the clock can be hazardous to your winning!

I will bet if Coach Chryst asked nicely, he could get Coan back. 🤣

Possible headlines:
QB comes off the Pyne to lead the Irish.

Irish fans O'Pyne about the future.

How about that Jack Kiser guy?
