Big & Slow

Big and slow and powerful. ND's offensive line is beefy. They will do their best to wear us down.
Not possible to jinx anything...! we’ve executed almost flawlessly so far in both offensive series, and frankly I don’t think Notre Dame expected it. We haven’t seen our offense play this way since 2017, either.
I was referring to their defense, their offense is going to be hard for us to stop. They are big and good on that offensive line, they actually dwarf us. I do realize there is 2 halves in every ball game and ND has the advantage on making adjustments since they have more talent.
They do but they're also going to know they've been in a fight after tonight no matter what happens the rest of the way. The 180 on attitude alone impresses me. I am very happy with what I've seen. Satterfield is the real deal.
ND figured out the run option, so Cards are going to have to hit a few WR's down the field I think.
Overall, we look like a D1 team so this is a massive improvement to Petrino's on the job retirement from last year.
Probably helps having the better team, and he'll probably walk away with the W tonight. It did come off arrogant. Maybe that attitude is why he's only up 7 when the game really shouldn't be close.
We are doing a whole lot better than most everyone expected. Late miscues (mental fatigue?) cost the Cards a late TD. We're not supposed to win this game but somebody forgot to tell the Cardinals that. These kids believe they can win this game and that's all about the attitude.
Go CARDS!!!
Go CARDS!!!
Guys just be happy things so far are looking like they won't be a total repeat from last season. The small D-line avg 255 we know will struggle all year .And lack of quality depth on both lines . This team at least for a half showed alot of grit . Program going forward with better talent is in good hands just sit back and enjoy the work in progress as this thing is being built.
Yes I agree. It's a rebuilding process and these guys will have issues going forward. We'll be OK in about 3 years.
I think it’s possible that we will be better sooner than that ... but we must have the Pass we saw for the majority of the first half, and not the one who is trying so hard to make up for his first fumble that he forgets to catch the ball on the shotgun snap.
I think Satterfield could get us back on track quicker that I thought. Then in 3 years we could be a challenge to the top teams.
Why’s that? How many other teams do we play that are ranked in the top 10 in the country?
I saw the long season post also and didn’t respond to it because I thought it was a troll.
Explain your message? Are you a new Cards fan that is joining our site?
Now Rollem, why would a blue fan come visiting our site? After all the welcome mat has been pulled?
It’s actually pretty fast, they were just confused early & out of position (had no idea of what UL was going to do).
After the first Q UL scores 3 points on 12 drives, averaging barely 3 yards per play.
Satterfield even said in his post game presser he schemed his offense to avoid ND’s DL speed. ND’s secondary has a 4.2 guy (Pride is also sprinter on track team), a 4.3 guy & a couple 4.4 guys. So they aren’t slow.
ND’s LBs were just out of position early.
ND (thankfully) brought in the Sophomores who are a lot better LBs & things changed fast.
So I obviously disagree with ND being slow.
Ok. Take that information with you and move on please. Don’t want to hear another thing about ND until basketball season. Go Cards!!
It’s a compliment to Satterfield’s ability to gameplan to negate ND’s speed.
Your post is par for the course though of how some of you are so negative all the time.
You are catching us at a time when we are a pretty salty bunch. None of us are pleased with a 10-game losing streak. We are a program that had won 67% of our games between 1998 (the year Cardinal Stadium opened) and 2017, so we tend to take our frustrations out on anyone who visits.
If Kelly and Notre Dame had been kind enough to lose to us last Monday, you would no doubt have seen us feeling much more kindly to you and your Notre Dame friends.
