Yes, first of all I think we can win Saturday with or without Mali. It’s just going to be a different style game and maybe I am too optimistic.

Mali being fully healthy for accg is more consequential to a national title run. Especially after the dumbass CFP poll yesterday

We have a good enough qb, rb room and wr room to continue scoring points.

This could galvanize the entire team. Focus us and add urgency.

Imagine us walking in there with TWO white WRs and dragging our nuts all over. Oh my…

I agree. I think it is foolish and selfish the way GEO and Pete consistently leak info that can hurt us for their own benefit. It is a pattern at this point.

Coaches always ask if you are hurt or injured. If you are hurt, it should be kept confidential, because you can play hurt. If you are injured, you cant play, and the information should be communicated. Not fooling anyone at this point.

Clearly its true….ND and Miami boards talking about it. The pretend secret stuff is played out
 
I watched Mali’s post practiSe presser yesterday and he SEEMED fine. They never show the players walking in or out so there was no way to see him walking.

He’s been back, and he’s been awful. He was good last year because the line was good. Scott cleaned up a lot also. Keep thinking the defense is gonna just miraculously play well against the pass Saturday. That the offense is somehow better without Mali.

You are developmentally disabled. Nobody said "the offense is somehow better without Mali". Nobody said that, you ****tard.

What has been said (even before today) is that the Notre Dame defense has recently suffered numerous injuries. Meaning, what we face SATURDAY will not be the same defense that was fielded earlier in the season. IN THAT SCENARIO, our offense might put up more points and yards than normal REGARDLESS OF MALACHI'S PRESENCE, and not because we are "better without Malachi", but because Notre Dame's defense is WORSE when they are missing multiple starters.

Does that make sense for your limited intelligence?

As for your ridiculous assessment of our defensive play, no, Xavier has not been "awful". Our defensive backfield scheme has continued to employ soft coverage, even as we get healthier in the front 7. Which, of course, is a coaching and schematic choice. It is pure ****ery to argue that a cornerback is only "good" because his defensive line was good. Only a moron says **** like that. Anyone who actually knows football knows that Lightfoot is getting to the QB very quickly, but that opposing offenses are getting the ball out just a hair faster. If Miami had actually tackled better against UNC, the passing yardage would have been much lower. The average length of passes in the air was 5 yards.

So this moronic and overly-simplistic assessment that "our defense sucks" or "some player last year cleaned up a lot" or "some particular player is awful" is just generic and non-specific garbage that doesn't properly state what is happening. Or what people who understand football can see. I get that stupid fans who just scream stuff like "step up" and "play better" and "act tougher" will always fail to articulate a specific path forward.

Schematically, if Hetherman stops playing soft coverage and allows guys like Xavier to play more aggressively, and if everyone at all three levels of the defense concentrate on wrapping up and making fundamental-level tackles (instead of going for big hits and forced fumbles), then we will be fine. We will still give up some yardage, Notre Dame is a talented team, but we can win a shootout if we don't give them a bunch of free yardage through YAC or penalties or broken arm tackles on the running backs.

God we have some absolute pussies on this board.
