There was some good news
- A ton of Miami fans and they (we) were loud
- D played hard in second half - we actually tackled guys to the ground
- Brad made some amazing throws where there was virtually no space - hate to start a fight but I am sure the NFL noticed
- Team fought back - pretty sure you might have to go back to Butch to see that from a Miami team

Bad news
- OL was so bad - I understand when you might lose yards on a stretch play but when you lose yards on a run play between the tackles, felt like 7-8 times - wow
- Really felt Mark was trying to run the ball to keep his QB alive
- RBs are average - no burst, no wiggle and no power
- Brad - cant move in the pocket - forget mobility - just step up or to the side

ND
- Campus was really nice
- Book store had 35 cash registers ---- wow are they making coin
- Stadium was really unimpressive - and fans were really quiet - maybe bc they are having a tough year but the Duke fans were louder last year

I was at the game. I have no good news. Canes fans were loud and proud thats it. For what it's worth my wife thinks Kaaya holds on to the ball too long.

There is always a positive... I was at the game also... beautiful campus fans represented...but not too loud... no comparison to VTech... Made some new Cane Fans.. Was aggravated for most of the game for obvious reason.. but there were moments i gotted excited and felt we had a chance to win... I was nervous for good reason when our O got behind the sticks...****ed at the D for the first 3 series... but as the game went along they got better... Did I get the result I was hoping for no... will i be there for the next game ? **** skippy... expecting a win... like it was week 1

Good list, NYC.

Adding to the good list:

*Special teams (other than kick returns) were terrific. A blocked punt, onside kick, good punt return and excellent kicking.
*25 and 29 were absolute warriors at CB. Taking on blockers and making tackles. Haven't seen that in years.
*27 straight point on O gave us some hope.

Bad list additions
*no pass rush. 9 was silent. Very disappointing DLine play.
*68 and 52 cannot play at this level. ND's 94 was penetrating early and often.
*early play calling trying to establish the run was disheartening. 3 and out, over and over.

Not sure what to expect at the Pitt game. Every week is an adventure.
