Well, not a great start when they announce seven guys from the 2-deep are out for ND.

Should make this one a little more interesting as plenty of young players will play even without the score getting out of hand.

I will be watching this game on a stream so the updates for this thread will be from my phone today so expect more of me just jumping in with thoughts after a series rather than the usual.

I still expect ND to roll big in this game. Let's see what happens.

Go Irish!

Obvious guys to watch on defense are new starters Houston Griffith, Clarence Lewis, and Jack Kiser.

Should see more Foskey today with Oghoufo out. Wonder if we will see Botelho.

On the other side they are missing multiple OL. LB Dwayne Boyles is a good player and is apparently banged up. That will hurt a lot if he is not available.

Love the opening call PA out of 13 personnel to Tremble for 25.

Early Power G concept from ND. Like running right at an undersized D.

Moving people on 3 and 3 in the red zone. Awesome down block by Wright.

Book on the scramble scores.

The opposite of the previous game on offense.

7-0 ND

Kiser with a TFL on the first drive to help a 3 and out.

USF had a bad OL and they got whooped on the first drive.

Capped off by a horrendous punt.

PA boot to Lenzy. Great throw by Book rolling to his right.

OL is really moving people up front. Slant inside didn't matter.

Love how Tyree is running. Great cuts, tough running inside. Easy TD on the toss. Great lead block by Tremble.

Nice job by Mayer there as well.

14-0 ND

USF showing they have speed at RB. Crawford got shook.

They can get out to the perimeter and had another run called back.

Kiser with another good play one on one vs the QBS in 3rd down.

USF fake on 4th down goes nowhere with Foskey running it down.

C'Bo with a nice cut on the outside zone on his first carry, but fumbled on second carry. Hainsey good effort to get it back. Have to know when to stop fighting.

Like how C'Bo does run through first contact, though.

ND OL is having their way with USF front.

Nice call on the angle route to Jafar on 3rd and long. Well executed.

ND about to score again.

14-0 after 1Q

Jafar didn't read the lead block well, but still almost scored on 1 and goal.

Book scores on the QB sneak.

21-0 ND

Really liked that short kick by Doerer on the kick off.

RPO had a chance at a good gain for USF on 2nd down. Ball was way off.

3 and out again. Bad punt again

Kyren just awesome after contact, but these holes are BIG. OL with redemption game so far.

Big hole over the right side, but Tremble just beasting right now.

28-0 ND

Great team defense gets the TFL for KJ Wallace.

This USF passing game. Woof

3 and 14

QB draw and another 3 and out

This looks just too easy for ND on almost every play. Backs aside from Jafar all running fantastic.

Tremble gets the FB dive carry. You love to see it.

Really nice ball to Kyren on the sideline.

3 and 3 with ND in the red zone

Kraemer missed his block on the LB and ND settles for FG attempt.

Doerer missed it

28-0 still

Kiser certainly making the most of his PT. All over the field.

Great defense. JOK took away the pitch. Another TFL forced 3 and long again

Lewis with a nice series tackling. He makes the play on 3rd down and then a botched snap. Barely got it off and ND with the ball deep in USF territory again

Williams with tremendous patience and finish.

His vision and toughness gets him close to a touchdown. Going to 3 and goal with inches to go.

Another QB sneak for six.

35-0 ND

Obviously this game has been a drubbing, but it is crazy how USF isn't even trying to pass.

35-0 at half and it's going to be tough to see how this doesn't get worse for USF.

Block in the back to start the 2nd half for USF

USF with a couple of completions to start the half.

D Hayes had a chance for a TFL but missed in the hole for USF to convert.

Lewis nice job playing the deep ball. More PA boot setting up easier throws for USF

Lacey and White with a big TFL to set up a 4th down try. QB sweep converts it. Griffith well done to play that, but didn't have help inside

Good job closing on 3 and medium. Lacey affected that throw.

Lewis almost picked it on 4th down. ND gets the stop, but USF's best drive of the day

Love that call on the jet sweep with Tyree. If he cut that up quicker it's six:

3 and long and a fantastic job by Tremble fighting for the 1st.

USF player down and it sounds like they will measure to make sure on the spot.

ND lucky to not have lost a couple of fumbles today. Kyren put one on the ground, but love how Tbe like blocked there. Wright great job.

Tremble with a nice catch on the wheel. They call him out, but it's being reviewed. Should be a catch.

And it is. 1 and goal

Love how the backs are always falling forward.

Incomplete to Wilkins. Book with a bad throw. He was off this whole drive

Field goal by Doerer is good

38-0

Botelho just missed a sack. Would have been a nice intro to the defense for him.

Have to give USF QB McCloud credit. He was been light years better this half.

Lewis with a nice play on the deep ball.

Ehrensberger! Sack. Just a hard work play taking the inside after a bull rush

Botelho! Touchdown on the punt block by Ostia Ekwonu

Why not? LOL

It's that kind of day.

Great opportunities for the young guys to gain experience.

3 and out. Good seeing Rutherford turn and run on the deep ball.

2nd team O in. Drew Pyne in the game and a nice throw to Bauman on his first throw.

Scrambled on 3rd down just short of the sticks. But he looked solid

Punt pinned USF at the 10

Really nice catch and throw by USF gets them their first big passing of the day. Cam Hart got beat there.

Kiser great timing on the blitz forces a quick throw that goes for a TFL.

Lea doesn't want to give up a TD and brings the house with a couple of forced incompletions.

Jordan Johnson gets a personal foul penalty with a bit extra after the play. That won't help his cause.

15 yards contributed to the 3 and out.

It's all garbage time now

There won't be much to add the rest of the way, but have to like how ND dominated a bad USF team with seven guys missing from the two-deep.

Will have an instant reaction up quickly after the game.
