Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

Difference in the trenches is stark so far. Indiana would do a lot better with a less physical style of opponent.

ND is overpursuing the strong side pretty heavy right now. And just like that, counter worked.

Al Golden had a weird career arch.

 

[flyershockey]

I don't know Indiana's personnel at all, but they better get a TE crosser going or Golden is going to sit in cover 4 and bracket all night on 3rd and more than medium.

If Indiana isn’t going to threaten the MoF, they’re in trouble. Can’t live on back shoulder junk balls to the sideline against this defense.

Yeah, what you said lol. ND IS overpursuing the flats a bit from what I've seen. Rourke might not be athletic enough, but he may have to take that 8 yards up the middle tonight to break the tendency.

The audio nerds are all over this broadcast. Since this is the first non-NBC ND Home game in so long, they’re trying to figure out if NBC mics the crowd poorly or ABC is juicing this. It sounds much, much louder than usual.

Probably a little of both. NBC was horrible at this though.

Fox is awful compared to ESPN on that front. They definitely suppress the crowd/stadium sounds over their broadcasts.

I think ESPN & CBS are the best at that of the four.

 

[flyershockey]

Both teams have been guilty of overplaying alignment. To Denbrock's credit, he called that well.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Indiana’s punter is horrendous in this game. Not the only reason they’re losing but god he’s giving ND a lot of yards of field position every punt.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I had Indiana as the 3rd most efficient offense in the country this year, just ahead of Ohio St and Penn St. This is significantly more disjointed than they were in the Ohio St game.

Assuming ND wins, give me the O/U on naked boots/misdirection we see from Bobo next week...

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I walked away I thought for sure Indiana would go for it on 4th down. I get it’s 14-0 but the way this one is playing out I think you needed to play for a TD there.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Punting is a sign of weakness

 

[Cody Webster]

Down 17 in the 4th and you punt

 

[flyershockey]

Another "deserving" team gets embarrassed. One day they'll learn.

This was the inevitable result. That punt ceded the game.

 

[Beef Invictus]

All these Indiana long balls have felt like they're designed or designated per play to a specific receiver no matter what the coverage is.

Death to OC micromanagement

 

[Beef Invictus]

"it wasn't easy"

Very polite to say, but we watched the game

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

It’s Indiana so it should be celebrated they even got to this point. But man Cignetti talked so much shit in the lead up to call that conservative of a game.

Who gets in? Alabama? The team that lost to Vanderbilt and got smoked by Oklahoma?
Miami? ND would of put 56 on that defense.

I got a little worried when I saw him refusing to shut up, but yeah. I never assumed they’d go that conservative. Just weird. Didn’t give themselves a chance to win.

I know most people here (and everywhere) will have Penn St on their tv at Noon, but NDST-SDST is a super fun rivalry game in the National Semi. It’s definitely worth your time to throw up on a second screen.

Ole Miss or South Carolina would have been better options, but yeah, even Alabama would have been more competitive. The goal is to get the 12 best teams in, not the 12 best resumes across 5-6 conferences that don't even play each other.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

That was a free Touchdown. These announcers are idiots.
