ND will make the USC defence look like the 85 Bears. There is no creativity in Parker's play calling.

-Tight end U! Hello Mitchell Evans. -Merriweather is a bust. Where were Colzie and James? -We looked gassed on the defensive line. We need to start rotating more guys in.

The defensive line is not great. Outside of Mills, Rubio and Baptiste, our defensive line is small and weak. Botelho has been a major disappointment and we don’t rotate guys in enough. Not as concerned with S&C, however it may be too early to tell. I expected a let down after an emotional game and playing a solid team on the road. Our lines got better as the game went on last week.

I’m talking to people like myself who get too emotionally invested in this team. I can’t for the life of me understand why I let something I have zero control over impact my emotions so greatly. I removed my emotions after the 2018 Clemson game but got roped back in during the 2020 season, probably in part due tot COVID and being stuck at home. My love for this team is a microcosm of my life. I invest so much into people yet don’t get the same in return and am left disappointed, time and time again. Just when I think my ex is going to change, she pulls the rug from under me and reminds me why we continue this cycle. I picked OSU to win, but again, I got my hopes up and truly believe we had this game won. I should have known better, we ALWAYS find a way to lose these games. I am just venting. I would love to experience what it would feel like to win one of these games, just once. I’m curious for those who were able to detach your emotions from this team, how did you do it? Should I just stop watching games?

This guy is actually from my city (Winnipeg, Manitoba). Some of the guys I coach with used to work with him and I've heard nothing but rave reviews regarding his work ethic. He should move up in the rankings and is a huge get at a position of need.

Never mind the transfers out… is anyone transferring in?

I was never huge on Diggs but the guy really produces. He doesn't get a lot of attention because he's not a burner, twitchy, shifty or a power guy, but he has elite vision, balance and patience. I get that he wants to be a lead back, he's been pretty productive here (5 ypc last year and over 800 yards). I think most are higher on Price and Love might be our most talented back. Estime also likely becomes more of a workhorse. We also haven't seen the last of Tyree at running back. ND will be fine.

Full Game Broadcast. Gobaira is someone who looks like he has a future here, very quick first step.

I did listen to a few commentaries that praised the young linebackers that you just mentioned. I would still hate to lose Prince, but it would definitely soften the blow. I just know that I've seen him flash more in a few plays than I have seen from Liufau in his entire career. Bertrand, Kiser and Liufau are not a top 25 caliber linebacking core. If ND wants to compete for a title, it needs athletes like Kollie, Sneed, Ausberry and Ziegler on the field.

It definitely worked. It sparked a discussion at least, but I don’t think anyone in here thought Buchner would start. I still haven’t seen anything with my own eyes to suggest he will win the job in 2024.

Well, keep in mind that Merriweather and Colzie might have performed a lot better if Hartman was throwing to them. I will say Thomas looks a lot quicker and more agile than last season. Our top three receivers (all fast and 6'3+) are going to be nightmare matchups for any defensive backfield. Sam Hartman won the lottery (if only he transferred last year!). Greathouse is really intriguing to me. I made a thread about the freshmen and he was the freshman I picked to make the biggest impact. ND has typically recruited physically imposing receivers (Claypool, Boykin, Robinson, Floyd) or burners (Tate, Brown, Fuller). Greathouse is maybe the most polished receiver ND has ever signed. His route running is going to create a ton of separation and he is going to be money on third downs. I wonder if he forces his way on the field or if they try to get him on the field with 4/5 wide receiver sets. Did we use any 4/5 wr sets?

I didn't watch the game but from the highlights... - So much for the QB competition. Hartman looked like he did at Wake. He went threw his reads, was decisive, accurate and took care of the ball. Buchner looks like he has regressed if anything and the younger guys didn't look like anything special either. I know, it's a spring game and they don't mean much, but we all knew Hartman was the guy and it was just nice to see him clicking after all the reports. - Thomas and Greathouse looked really good. I wonder how the other receivers would have looked with Hartman. - Tyson Ford stood out to me, he is a massive human ala Tuitt. I think people are sleeping on this defensive line. There are a ton of fringe top 100 recruits and we suddenly have a lot of bodies and a lot of size. Couldn't gather any more from the highlights. How did the linebackers, offensive line, running backs and defensive backs look? Who else stood out?

Unfortunately not.

I'm in Canada

anyone have a stream for the game?
