Can the Irish Defense slow down the prolific USC offense?


Notre Dame needs to contain Caleb Williams. Can the defense slow down the USC offense and keep the score in the low 30's??

  2. Egg bowl will be interesting, as is the Mich/tOSU game
    ND /SC series is interesting with the streaks. SC had their winning in the 60s and 70s. Holtz /ND run in 80s and 90s Pete Carroll s run and now ND s run again. It will be interesting to see if ND can keep the current success with SC.

    1. Interesting??? Go replay those 2 recent S. Carolina thrashings they levied on top 10 teams - they are playing like a Barn on Fire! If ND plays them they may have to re-tool the S.C. Points Section of the scoreboard prior to kickoff to accommodate a triple digit final score...... Believe me I wish I was wrong.

  3. I am frustrated with the play vs SC. We looked confused defensively, and they were more physical.
    I thought Drew had an really good game, our defense just wasn’t as good as their offense

  4. Why are ND fans always so hard on our quarterbacks? What more do fans expect from Drew? He gave his heart in the game and performed outstanding
    Our society always wants more.

    1. Pyne was only 23/26 for 318 yards, I understand what your saying, but some don't feel like he can win against elite teams

  5. Watching the game, Lincoln Riley has a different approach to football coaching. His offense is diverse and attacks in space, schematically it looked like he is in a different level from us offensively. Beating them the past 6 years it now looks obvious this SC program is gonna go back to the top again quickly

    1. Riley also tends to stink up the field in Conference Championship games. Oooops!

  6. I m starting to wonder if Drew Pyne is being totally underrated.
    Not getting any reps in August and thrown into an 0-2 team in September.
    Now everyone thinks he s the problem when he is the one that saved us this year from a disaster

    1. I'm tempted to believe Pyne is under rated/appreciated.... But I think it's rather an illusion created by mediocre opponents & having a Fabulous TE in The Mayer as a target. M. Brammer right now would have a 90% completion rate to M. Mayer if he Quarterbacked in the Bowl Game. But when I imagine Pyne starting in that OSU game last Sept, I smell 4 turnovers and 9 or more sacks.

  7. Transfer Portal for Drew Pyne?

    1. Pretty obvious we're looking at a transfer QB right now. How ironic if Jurkovec comes back?

  8. After watching SC get dismantled by Utah it s obvious we’re not that close to an elite team. Good? yes….but no where near elite or special

  9. Looks like we’re going into our bowl game with Angeli and Powlus, the most important position in football and we ve made it into nothing more than a clown show, Maybe Buchner will be available, but he s not someone to count on…..such a disappointing year. I ve never seen a more inconsistent team ever, except maybe willinghams first year in 2002,

    1. Well said - Shocking that NOTRE DAME Football has somehow allowed the "most important" position to crumble into such a talent void realm. If ND has any self respect left, it appears the proper thing to do is Decline the Bowl appearance. Otherwise, with S.C. playing like a House on Fire brimming with more confidence than the Philly Eagles, where am I wrong in predicting perhaps a S.C. Gamecock's 91; ND 6 Final Bowl score? This could resemble a tootpick going into a diesel powered buzz saw.
