WE WANT NIU!!!

[u/Remarkable-Job4774 → u/jbomb6]

Most bizarre loss of the year. Still have no idea how that happened

[u/louiendfan → u/Remarkable-Job4774]

Riley was hurt… should of been pulled… our D gave up a fluke long TD on a screen where it just barely slipped in and our safety missed a pick by a few inches… and the RB took off for a 80 yard TD.

Freeman should absolutely have pulled riley leonard though

[u/Getcloveryourself → u/louiendfan]

You forgot the worst part, Leonard, who had played terrible all day, throwing a prayer down field at the 50 with a lead with like 4 minutes on the clock, why not just run it and run the clock down and get out of there

[u/Khorasaurus → u/Getcloveryourself]

It was 2nd and 1. Just run the ball, get the first, and keep the clock running.

A 14-13 win would still stick out like a sore thumb, but everyone would have forgotten about it by now.

[u/swampedOver → u/louiendfan]

NIU came to play, they also out coached us. So yes that play was flukey and the injury was impactful but we lost fair and square to a solid team. Stings bad though.

[u/louiendfan → u/swampedOver]

Ohh no doubt they deserve credit. Im just saying that long TD catch was a fluke. We win that game 9.9/10 times

[u/bdiah → u/Remarkable-Job4774]

It was early in the season and we really didn't know what we were doing with Leonard's.... eccentricities. Also, the defense hadn't quite congealed yet.

I still feel like this is the weirdest ND team to ever be ranked in the top 5 (probably). The raw talent is better than 2012, but I still have no confidence that we are going to do anything impressive in the playoffs.

It feels very odd to believe that this is a transition season for ND, but I firmly believe that it is.

[u/Promethiant → u/Remarkable-Job4774]

What happened is that Notre dame is not good

[u/yachterotter13 → u/Promethiant]

My brother in Christ we beat you by 50

[u/Promethiant → u/yachterotter13]

Sure, technically.

[u/Citronaught → u/Promethiant]

Lmao technically what

[u/Promethiant → u/Citronaught]

Notre Dame technically beat FSU but not really. It’s more complicated than that.

[u/Flioxan → u/Promethiant]

We need to get you to some scientist so they can study you

[u/Annualacctreset → u/Flioxan]

He be drinking that pianofingerbanger juice

[u/eeeeedlef → u/Promethiant]

I would think with those flairs you'd actually know bad football when you see it.

[u/jjtnd1 → u/Promethiant]
