We are a real program again

[Nickkcin]

It feels like we won getting off the bus...we haven't done that yet in Mario's tenure.

The Nascar package was alive and well and lightfoot getting pressure and Blount commanding a double team inside was a beautiful sight. It feels like we have war daddies inside too. Blay looked good and so did Scott.

OL looked like an SEC line and moved the los regularly. If we stay healthy and the WR room develops we will be very hard to stop

Have to think Mario had a hand in us going so conservative after getting up 21-7

Yeah that was disappointing. Hopefully they learn from this. Offense should get better as Beck gets more game reps. Played basically without Lyle and TE pretty much did nothing. Got the win though and no turnovers

I’ll have more detailed thoughts after the rewatch, but all that matters to me is that we are a real program again. We were a joke for 20 years. These types of games were not competitive. Teams like Alabama were playing a different sport.

Now, we can play big-boy football with any team in the country. Alabama is dead. The sport is open. And we are a real program again.

Feels great. This team belongs and has juice. Mario and Dawson need to start acting like it though with a lead. The pussyfooting around really deflates things and the team/crowd was picking up on it. Win feels great but somehow not as great as it should’ve felt making it into a nail biter. Didn’t feel like we were in the drivers seat in the second half like we should’ve been. That fine for now but not for a natty and that’s the standard. That aside, we light a cigar and pour the good stuff for a helluva win. We’re on to Bethune

The one thing I’d redo, is the kick after Bain’s INT. I would’ve gone for it. Even if it ended in a kick afterwards.

Getting stopped on that 3&1 changed the whole complexion of the game. I don’t hate that call. Our strength is the run game/OL. I’m calling a run 10/10 times on third and short with this team.

Let’s wait until November lol not to rain on the parade. But we gotta whole season

You are missing the point. We are a legit program. If you watched the game in person it makes a big difference. We are big, fast and well coached for once in a long long time. And we have depth most teams would kill for. That spells lots of wins.

Love to see the snap counts. Also update on some injuries.

No injuries from what I saw. Lyle tweaked and ankle. Let’s some guys recover against BC and get the young kids in by the 3rd quarter.

or sure if Thomas came back in the game but seemed like a cramp. I’m sure most will be on the training table tomorrow but overall came out good I would think.

When did Damari Brown get good? Dude played a good game..

Defense was nasty af at times. That final drive by Mesidor is going to be thing of legend. He beat his man and had Carr dead to rights on every down at multiple positions. Including their LT on the game winner.

Made money tonight. Pro film all over the place.

Bain bullied that T with one arm. If they can get pressure consistently without needing blitzes this defense could become scary.

Well coached? Uhhhh no Dawson and Mario absolutely sucked today. Mario hasn’t done **** here until tonight.

It has to look a certain way

There are fewer things in my sports watching life more sweet than a win over those racist chumps, but let's not get out over our skis. We lost to Syracuse and Georgia Tech last year. The last time we whipped ND at home we lost to Pittsburgh.

We gotta prove it over a 12-game season.

Bro stop. We can always nit pick. Yes Dawson crapped the bed at the end. But a poorly coached team just doesn’t win that game. We didn’t win by fluke. We outplayed them because we are well coached. It’s all the little things that I don’t have time to type.

Miami not even in this game in 4Q last year

I noticed pretty early on that we were playing differently than we have in recent past. Much more composed, a lot less mental mistakes even though young guys are still getting on the field we just seem to have grown up and matured as a team over the past few years.
