I saw their savage RT and their savage LT making a sandwich with CJ Carr because they couldn’t block our ends.

If style points against a walk-on QB mean more than head to head, fold the sport.

Literally heard them say ND is being given more credit for their loss against us than we are for ******* beating them. It’s maddening.

Mario and staff have to do a better job of preparing for and executing against teams like a 3-8 VT team

If we play like this next week…it’s gonna be ugly against Pitt

Hopefully Mario and staff prepare, show up fired up and execute next week

The game today was horrific

Big passing numbers for Beck
Big game for Toney

The negatives are obvious

You're an idiot if this is your take.

Today we had a convincing 17-point win over an upstart VT game on the road playing their most enthused ball of the season. The game was never in doubt and we delivered an efficient performance, despite being down FOUR defensive starters. We also battled the officials per usual and won.

I am proud of this team.

"3-8"--aka with no context. E.g. they are 3-4 with the interim coach--the team we played today came to scrap, fight and claw; and they are never scared to play us since they are too familiar. With all of the injuries on defense, it was a solid win. We did what we should have done--nothing more, nothing less. Last week vs. NCST we played a perfect game--that's not going to happen every week, especially on the road.

Horrific? We scored every time we had the ball into the fourth quarter. The defense stopped vt a half a dozen times on 4th and a foot with only half of them counting

It wasn't a **** win, but it was solid. Our D played poorly, but we were never in trouble.

The defense was what let the team down. One of their worst performances of the season. Too banged up and not enough fire today.

They has 400 yards
Nearly 200 on the ground
If you add back sacks, closer to 250

Flat
Uninspired
Undisciplined

Our run d was a joke today
So many factors why, but that's a 3-8 team w interim coach
They played to their strengths and we couldn't stop them
Thats very concerning

Needed more than 34 points by the offense.

I disagree, basically the defense gave up 10 points and the last seven came late in the game.

It comes down to what we have all said is situational football. Mario has a tendency to get a lead and play ultra conservative. Why are we snapping the ball with three seconds left?

He always plays conservative not just with a lead.

If were better than the other team we want more snaps, more drives, and more opportunities to be tuff n fyzical
 
Narduzzi and key are butt buddies
Its
Funny
I don’t think anyone likes Meathead
No one wants to chat with him after the game

Omg
Seriously, stop with the bull****
That team is garbage in the garbage ACC
That is a one and 10 team in the SEC or B10 and a 2-9 team in b12

It was a very mediocre performance today in the grand scheme of things especially with a nice start that we actually had

20-3 at halftime should have equated to a 48 to 10 win not 3417 and 2717 with 30 seconds to go

Convincing that is a bit of an overstatement
Yes, we controlled the game but we never put it away and they actually had the ball down 10 with three minutes to go

A 3-8 team
3 and 8 in awful conference !!!!

I'm not sure where to start on this. So basically not winning a Natty means crap?

Just how much should we care about the ACC CG, the CFP doesn't. It means nothing.

Winning 10 games in a season is a mark of success, there are about 100+ teams that didn't and can't do that out there.

I agree we underperformed, but a win is a win.

Last, I don't want to go to any conference, I would rather play the game we used to and ND is doing now, in the modern CFP picture today, it's to be an independent and tippy toe an agreement with someone like ND does with the ACC. I would also sign a TV contract with someone like NBC does and use that revenue to booster our brand and NIU.

Then when everyone folds the two weaker conferences into 2 super conferences, then and only then think about going into another conference. When it benefits us. I would get out of the ACC because there is not a single thing they have ever done for us. i.e. NCAA investigations, the way they treated SMU as a first year in the league last year and putting us down in lead up to the ACC CG and the playoffs, the Heisman lack of support for Ward, the lack of support for us as related to the Wisky lawsuit and crap with them over our DB signing. I could also use the cherry on the cake of the flags \ refs bias, but that literally is the least of my grip with them. That is low hanging fruit others complaining and grasping for.

So that is my retort. Folks will remember ten win seasons, even more than conference championships. They are historical milestones that measure the program, long after the season. They generally are the only thing that is looked at past natty trophies. They matter way more than bowl games and bowl game results. It is what is looked up and see where you were, and measures where you are.

im with all of this and signing a contract with amazon prime or netflix.
 
What was the line to cover from Vegas 17.5? We won by 17…. I’d have loved to see a ND over Syracuse beat down too but we won by 3 scores on the road

Would require someone who uses their brain in the UM admin. Bezos lives in Miami. Went to HS in Miami. Find out how much Amazon prime would pay for an exclusive streaming deal with Miami. And I would even make it more interesting- usc wants no part of the B1G private equity scheme. See if they want in. Miami and USC on Amazon prime would be huge.
