Go look at the box score for their safeties. Damn just because you say that doesn’t mean it is true.

Ficking Ramsey their SAFETY led their team in tackle with 9. Five of those frickers were solo.


Keep pushing the same fricking narrative. Third down execution in the second half was HORRIBLE. Look at the 2 QBs and what each did under duress. frick Nuss had all day to throw and checked the frick down. Then he can’t throw a fricking screen to save his life. Same shite as last year with him the little he played. The screen stops the fricking rush.
He has Jayden Daniels disease from 2022 and the beginning of last year. Scared to throw an INT. You saw his reaction all night. Just look for it

What’s the common denominator between Jayden and Denbrock in 2022 and who’s in charge of the offense now? Funnily enough the same coach whose offenses and QBs at ND all played the same way? Nothing deep, nothing over the middle, do not under any circumstances commit a TO. Especially if the game is close.

Last year was an aberration for Kelly bc Daniel’s was so good and the defense so bad he had to finally let the shackles off a bit. But now he’s right back to where he’s comfortable

I said during the hiring process it didn’t seem like there was enough of an urgency to find an OC. However I think BK bought into the hypotheticals spun to him by the Sloan and Hankton management that there were promotion opportunities being offered at “undisclosed” schools. Maybe one day somebody will learn when you have two coordinators you have no coordinator.

He keeps trying to force Perkins to be a MLB with ample proof that it doesn't allow him to be his best self. Seems like a theme that BK thinks he knows best and refuses to adapt.

Y'all are gonna eat your words regarding the Sloan hire. Don't over-react over 1 game. It can only lead to profoundly stupid takes.

I believe Sloan has lots of potential but not under Kelly. Kelly will control what Sloan is allowed to do. Look at the first half. Moving the ball at will then all of a sudden the whole game plan changed.

I wasn’t in the locker room but I heard Kelly’s interview. They did exactly what he wanted to do which was run the ball but not successfully. Everyone’s development will suffer because of Kelly. Sloan, Nuss, WRs hell the entire offense. His offense was crap at ND and it continues to be here.

Last year with Daniels was easily his best offense in his career and I believe the only reason Daniels was allowed to play more freely was because of LSUs crap defense had no chance of stopping anyone.

Look at the tape, brother. It’s there. Safeties were high almost all game.

USC played deep safeties the whole night, which limits the deep ball.

Well there ya have it folks, our offense is completely neutered if our opponents play deep safeties the rest of the season.

This isn’t a knock on you, this shows how bad our coaching staff was in their inability to attack this defense. Southern Cal’s defense especially under Lincoln Riley has been a joke and our offense made them look elite

There were issues with play calling on offense in a couple of crunch possessions. Also not throwing any deep balls was a problem. Especially in the 2nd half, that was a prime time to throw a few deep balls. Now maybe Nuss was worried about throwing the deep ones, like JD5 used to be. That's understandable.

Put Players have to execute too. Throwing a ball in the ground on an open Anderson is not the play callers fault.

We can talk about the defense play calling being terrible on the last drive too. He was calling the plays scared, using zone prevent defense and rushing 3 with a QB that showed all game that he can carve you up.
