I think that they lose at NC this week, and if Pyne doesn’t play well I agree to start bringing the Freshman along. No I don’t believe Buchner is the answer either. Big problem too is that the O Line, and the WR aren’t up to the usually strong ND standards.

O line is young. Whenever the O line is young the Irish struggle. This is a year to build. Get the O line some experience. Add some weapons. Find a QB

Nice win for Notre Dame, and on the road even. When you can run the ball like they did yesterday it makes everything else easier. Of course having Mayer helps too.

My sleeper pick, this year is Kentucky.

They are now 4-0 and 7th or 8th ranked.

Slippery Rock is also 4-0.

Did you pick them as your sleeper after going 1-0?

Been a fan for years ever since Beano Cook used to mention them back on his scoreboard show many years ago.

Being a fan and picking them as your sleeper pick are two different things.

I'm not a Kentucky football fan, at all. I just think they have a good enough QB to make a splash, and the rest of their team is solid.

ND fell off the rails. Pyne still looks like the QB for next year, but this team looks badly in need of a new O coordinator. Predictable plays, too much pressure on the QB

Pyne may end up being okay to good, but we need great at QB.

Agree, and at this point of a pretty much lost season they might as well give Angeli some looks. Not having one of ND better O Line doesn’t help either.

I don't think we have the right QB in the system, now, although Joe Montana was the third string QB, my freshman year, and he led us to the National Champiuonship.

Totally irrelevant, but Pyne’s dad is from my hometown. I went to high school with a couple of Drew’s uncles…

The Notre Dame game today has been relegated to Peacock. Apparently, NBC prefers to televise figure skating. Oohfah !!!

My domers beat #4 Clemson.

TN lost to GA.

AL lost to LSU- gotta like that!
