But we have a (1) underdeveloped team, with a (2) new staff, (3) playing a playoff caliber team. So I understand. BUT I saw some positives today. 1. Players walked off the field with heads held high. This small gesture in body language tells me something about their attitude and grit. 2. We had , I think 49 rushing years in the first half, 45 on that one Ford run. It was abysmal. But the first drive of the second half, we came out swinging and got multiple first downs on a 50+ yard drive. The coaches and players *adjusted* and didn't give up, despite a 35 point deficit. I can't enforce anything but hoping we can keep this thread to focusing on positives. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what people expected? The program is a dumpster fire and we're rebuilding, deal with it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what we addressed in it but that we had one seems to indicate that we recognized that you can’t just ignore what happened on the field and as the head of the program you need to address it and the plan forward to rally the troops.

I would have been torn if he had tried one, though, knowing that Kelly really wanted to shut us out ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some need to relax ND is way out of our league right now in a year one rebuild yeah was nice to dream of putting up a good fight but it was never going to happen unless ND turned the ball over like 4 or 5 times or they played equally as sloppy which they didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have very little depth and piss poor recruiting over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to making some memories with my son. I believe CJS will turn things around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
