For the first time this season, we pod after a loss and it’s definitely not as fun as podcasting after a win. Notre Dame’s offense struggled again today and this time it cost the Irish their first loss of the season. We break down all that went wrong for Notre Dame while spending a lot of time devoted to the quarterback position.
UHND.com’s Notre Dame football and recruiting podcast hosted by Frank Vitovitch and Greg Flammang. Come for the football, stay for Greg campaigning for Kyle to play offense.
Notre Dame is in the national championship, so we dusted off the microphones and recorded a podcast. Drew Brennan of the Exit77 podcast joins Frank to talk about Notre Dame's chances in the Natty and why the Ohio State fanbase might be the worst they've encountered. Other topics include:
- The impact of Charles JAgusah at LT
- Is Ohio State really a juggernaut? Probably not.
- How Xavier Watts is being discredited by the OSU fans
- How much man versus zone should Notre Dame play?
- What does Notre Dame need to do on offense to pull off the upset
- Why ”Ohio Against the World” makes no sense whatsoever
- Is it time to make a change at QB?
- What happened at wide receiver?
- How much blame does Brian Kelly and Tommy Rees get for the loss?
- How much blame does the defense deserve?
- Why this game was so disappointing
LIfe’s funny.
Brian Kelly’s name made the list for the ND job because of the play of Cincy QB Zach Collaros.
Since being at ND, Kelly has destroyed or driven off every QB who has shown up.
No imagination nor reasoning by the offensive play callers. No screens? No draws? No reverses? No gimmicks? Very vanilla and simple/predictable for the defense to take advantage. No observable exploiting of our players attributes. Play calling was atrocious; such as attacking between the tackles in the second half as if something was going to change to our advantage. Constantly using a three or four man front on defense in obvious passing situations which allowed extra time for their QB to pick out open receivers. I’m sorry to exclaim that this loss was on the coaches. A good example of this parody of a game was todays Oregon State – Washington game. The Beavers, without much talent, were successfully coached to a win over the Huskies. The Irish, loaded with talent, stumbled and bumbled in an attempt to defeat Cincinnati. Coach Kelly, I implore you and your staff to study that game, especially the play calling.
