Lots of Beat downs going on right now. UGA getting whooped by Ole' Miss, Wisconsin handling MSU, VT continuing to dominate against ECU, and FSU is demoliting SFU.

If Notre Dame  
PaulN : 9/24/2016 6:20 pm : link
Does not fire Kelly after this season then you can give up on them. What is really amazing is there are people here who actually wanted the Giants to hire this misfit for the head coaching job, imagine the moron who would fire Coughlin, to hire this garbage. Notre Dame is happy now the way it is because they get treated like a top program when they are not, and have the best TV deal in the nation.

I love ND  
Giantfootball025 : 9/24/2016 6:30 pm : link
but I hate Kelly. The real gem on staff is Sanford, and I hope the plan is to hire him as HC. ND has some elite level talent, but not enough to compete with SEC powerhouses.
Kelly is like Herm Edwards...

Just good enough not to fire, but bad enough that you'll never really go anywhere.

Nonsense they have quality players and a 2nd rate coaching staff. If you say they are not a top program because of the coaching, I will agree. But talent wise, they are a top team.

What Wisc is doing is amazing. We are going to have to rely on Speight making some throws. Really worried about that.

but the last few years they'd at least been decent. This year they really hadn't looked good - this is a really rough loss for ND.

but not all that surprised considering they have by far thebworst coordinator in football coaching the defense. If this gane gets BVG fired it will be a blessing in disguise.

Congrats, you picked a great game to go to. I have been many times and the atmosphere is one of college football's best. Go Vols/ Go Giants !

Guys,  
Jon in NYC : 9/24/2016 8:59 pm : link
I really don't know what to say. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year. I can tell you the way I thought this season would play out.

Lose to LSU, Lose to MSU, UM, OSU, probably beat Iowa and Nebraska, but lose to Northwestern on some bullshit, go to a mediocre bowl, but that would have been okay because we're the 5th youngest team in FBS with a new DC and only the 2nd year under Chryst.

But holy fucking shit.

This defense is the truth. The best LB corps in football right now, a DL that's tough to run against, and a DB unit that has proven to be more than competent despite losing 3/4 guys last year. Either A. It wasn't all Aranda as we thought it was, or B. Wilcox is just as good. Either way I'll absolutely take it.

On offense, the best is still yet to come. We're starting 4 sophomores on OL (the 5th is Ramczyk, who as Anak mentioned, will be a Day 1 or 2 guy in the draft)., a RS frosh at QB, and our RB corps is a walking infirmary unit. But they (with the help of some great field position) just dropped 30 on a very tough MSU defense.

I think we're due for a letdown, so I could see them dropping the next two games, but that's okay. We've not only positioned ourselves very well this year, but the future is very very bright, and I couldn't be more excited.

On Wisconsin.

even after a review and they say it was a fumble when it clearly wasnt.

Instant replay is wrong more times it is right.
Holly crap LSU pulled it out on the last play  
jeff57 : 9/24/2016 9:29 pm : link
But snap may have taken place at 0.
No way that play was off

Patrick77 : 9/24/2016 10:27 pm : link
I hope Wisconsin wins and wins big (unlikely). Wisconsin has a good team this year.

Louisville vs Clemson will be great to watch.

Maybe Richt can help Miami finally beat FSU as well (again unlikely).

Notre Dame might be a big draw to the older crowd but I could see in the next ten years where they are no longer the cowboys of college football. Kids growing up today or in college recently are Ohio State fans, Alabama fans, etc... The Notre Dame bandwagon won't be refilled since they haven't been a dominant team in a while.

with the best back in the nation down 4 late in the 4th and you punt?

You deserve to lose Shaw.
Shaw wasted  
dep026 : 9/24/2016 11:15 pm : link
20 seconds before calling timeout. He better hope his heisman hopeful bails him out. Poorly coached 4th quarter.

They are starting too, next week will be his heisman moment. A big game and a win next week, he all but clinches it.

Lamar Jackson is legit. He is going to win the Heisman. Only way he doesn't is if he gets hurt before the years end.

Patrenio sure knows how to coach QBs. Kid is smart to go there and learn the game from him.

He is amazing. Pretty much as electrifying as anyone I've ever watched in college football, all that he needs to stamp a statement like that is more time doing what he's doing. I don't know about him in the NFL because he is built a lot more like a receiver than a QB (I remember having similar concerns about rg3), but he is incredible at this level
