3rd and 4 Carr makes the scramble fans finds his RB for a 1st. They would’ve likely been punting from their endzone if this is called. Maybe Wilson wasn’t so bad afterall.

Carr did the same thing on NDs first TD last year, spinning back to the sideline. Wilson needed to stay wide to keep him contained. As the play unfolds we had him boxed in with Moten but Wilson gave up the leverage and Carr spun out and viola completed pass which led to 7 before half…
 
That play infuriated me. Wilson was pursuing and lost leverage when he had help on the other side. Not to mention 7 gets obliterated by the back who ends up making the catch. Worth 7 points for sure

I watched that play a few times. The RB was lined up to chip Lightfoot lined up on the RT. The RB immediately looked to the Safety blitz and saw it from a mile away and chopped him down with ease. He knew it was coming.

All while Lightfoot drops in the flats.

Something is not right. Tendencies or someone has your signals. Teams share this stuff when you've got a target on your back. Gotta change just in case.
 
Very good player made a very good play. That's football. Mensah made a ton himself, not quite as dramatic as that but making something out of nothing.

Really just a couple plays away, obviously the TD to Lofton but also Mensah threw a bad pick on a 1st down where we had all the momentum in the world, punting has been largely fine but we kick an absolute **** missile to Faison (I was sitting on the 40 and the minute left his foot I said, out loud, "Oh **** that's a line drive") and it goes 50+ yards the other way. How bout the facemask on Scott (he seems to be good at reaching out and grabbing the mask, doesn't he?), it would've been 4th and maybe pretty close to 2 yards from the 3....Freeman maybe goes for it, but does he kick the FG to go up 2 scores with 13 mins left? 4 point facemask grab, or potentially 7 if they go and we stop them.

That's football, you gotta make more plays than the other guy, and we just didn't quite get there. But I sat in that stadium and said there is no way there are more than 2-3 teams in America who are flat better than the two on that field, and I'm convinced of that. And there might not be any, but if there is, it's not a long list. We hate ND, I get it, but that's a very good football team, and they played exactly how they would, at home, desperate as ****. I was hoping they'd play a little tight, and I think Carr did a bit in the 1st quarter but overall they needed that game and they got it.

Our season isn't remotely defined by what happened on Saturday. What happens this Saturday is infinitely more important. We cannot let ND beat us twice, this is a really bad spot for us coming off that game. Gotta get a win this week.
