Best half since 2012? Maybe longer?

Flute is just full of so much hate. It's really really said. With that said his hate will not damper my excitement nor ruin this game for me.

Might be the best half of football since BC in 1992.

Unreal half of football. We need to come out with even more intense focus this half, though. Absolutely need to finish them off - we already have their head under the water. Just a little more and they are done.

I was born in 87, been a Subway domer from birth, lived in the Carolinas all my life where ND isn't very popular.... This is my favorite game vs USC EVER. Finally no excuses of a down year or NCAA penalties. they are ranked higher than us and had a Heisman hopeful. Been waiting a long time for this. Go Irish!!

This says it all. The only thing missing is turnovers:

USC - 3
ND - 0

TOTAL DOMINATION.

ND will jump into the top 8 if they continue this run in the 2H. if we are up by 40 that would be great!!!

The sound of Silence.

Playing USC and never hearing their Band play their Fight Song (but still getting occasion look at the song girls).

I remember what John McKay said to his team when they were behind at half 24-7. He said "Good news, we talked to the refs and they said blocking and tackling are still legal".

No idea what Helton will say. We aren't tired and we are more physical.

I hope we don't start with bend don't break.

Guys, it's a freaking beautiful thing when it's 28-0 against your arch rival at halftime and it could have even been worse. All I can say is finish!

ND leveraging depth. Pride playing a lot. Hinish in on tackle for loss.

Hope that ND has play for Dexter Williams in the second half (if he's healthy enough). A fresh Dexter against a tired defense is a great formula.

Why would they? That would be like Walmart advertising a good deal on Amazon. It ain't gonna happen. And it makes sense.

What would make this more enjoyable is if one of you can provide a link to a USC board. I bet they are coming apart at the seems.

I admit, prior to tonight, I thought our defense was pretty good - decent but not elite talent, with Elko's scheme raising their collective bar to pretty good. But I am thinking they're actually a lot better than that. I still don't think they're "elite" because of the general talent gap, but they're close.

Just went to the Wild West Board. Saw a post worried about other coaches calling USC"s commits and flipping them.

would love to see Adams run long one in for a TD and finish run it for 150-200 yards.

Matt, I agree with the thought, but you also need to be professional. all they show is the score. i would have at least a blurb....

In the words of Tuco Salamanca, "It's not enough..."

No half measures. Beat their heads in for FOUR QUARTERS!
