Stanford takes the ball. They want to bleed the clock right away.

#NotreDame forces a punt on Stanford's first drive. #Irish will take over at the 22.

Well, good start... Let's see if we can run the ball. Should be able to.

Equanimeous St. Brown gets the start.

Was that a counter?

Not a great start for the Irish offensive line. Can't get the job done on 3rd down.

#Irish forced to punt. Stanford will take over on their own 24.

Big Mike misses a combo block there... Still love the idea of that drive. Pound it, at some point they will wear down.

6 carries. 17 yards. Not ideal.

Adams just doesn't look right to me. Maybe dexter can help out tonight. Lets see.

Freaking Kelly running on 5 of the first 6 plays. He sucks.

Would have liked to see them go left on third down

Even though we're punting like the game plan early. Feed Adams and be patient with it, get Wimbush running the ball too.

Have to stick to it all game and avoid the temptation to get pass happy.

Well played.

Clearly the coaching staff has ZERO confidence In Wimbush' passing ability. Stanford has like 11 guys in the box and we had six straight running plays.

Well...I like running, but hate the way our runs are designed.

Is it just me, or is our offense incredibly predictable?

I agree. Doesn't hit the holes hard anymore. That last stop, he did a stutter step to the right which gave the lb time to fill and make the tackle for a loss. Just not explosive.

Yeah this game isn't important to Stanford. Love already has 3 or 4 rushes.

yeah D!!!

What run left or run right is not complex? Lol, plus Adams has no burst

Asmar Bilal with the TFL on 3rd down to force a Stanford punt.

Your right we should pull our guards more

Hopefully they have a lot of gas in the tank, because the offense looks horrible again

Just feels like we get to 3rd and longish faster than anyone.

The only time it wasn't (a counter) we gained 6 yards. Need to run misdirection, Wimbush has to keep on option read, and Wimbush has to complete some screens to keep defenses honest.

Adams. No vision on that play and stopped for a loss of 1.
pbrad28

man...try dexter

Another puzzling call. Throw a screen where KJ Stepherson is the key block. Yikes.
