ND has to be the vilest, absolute worst screening team in America. They can't even get the receiver open for a clean catch. Every screen looks like it's going to be an interception. Why?
Watch what you are saying. The posters on this board might think you mean this in a negative way.

I think part of that is because ND has had gaudy numbers against BC and Temple.

99 isn't bad when you know MSU has been gearing up for the rush attack all week. I also think ND could have a lot more but they're trying to get Wimbush's passing game settled which works against what MSU is defending against for the most part.

Lol well of course he does.

There is a time to nitpick.

Halfway through an ass beating of Sparty ain't that time or place.

Fantastic half of football

No complaints


Have to agree - can't really think of any major disappointments. That offense is much harder to defend than what we've seen so far, yet we've held em pretty well. QB sneak seemed kinda flukey, not necessarily awful play.

Score 10 more and I'll feel confident we win, even if it tightens up. Great half so far. Hope they finish. We should be built for it with our running game.

My son brought home a shard of a splintered bat from a spring training game and acted like he had the Holy Grail.


It is genetic.

Do we let them back in or apply our boot to their throat?


I'm thinking we are turning the corner and this ain't close...

I would like to see 17-20 more from ND with a quick score on their first series. This way the back ups play the rest of the game to get game experience. i am fine if MSU score 10 more

Georgia up 31 -3 with a minute left. Assuming ND finishes the job tonight we better be ranked higher than Mississippi State.

It is a 60 minute game. MSU has moved the ball but TOs killed them. With a 28-7 lead it is tempting to assume we win but TOs cost them 21 points in my assessment.

I like where we are but need to close the deal. Defense was on the field for 17 minutes. They didn't play tired though.

Oh, I get it.

No. I'm pretty jaded, though.

Under.

He's sticking.

But lol at what we worry about.

Not saying I don't respect the thought and analysis...

It's just a moment when one directly interacts with the game. It's fun.

We will debut at 23 or 24 next week if we win convincingly.

It looks like the defensive linemen immediately diagnose the play and head for the receiver. Are we tipping the play somehow?
