Holy poo that ESPN Arch excuse fest at halftime. LOL! They cherry picked like three plays where he had nowhere to go as if that was the story of the game and not him badly missing open receivers a dozen times.

Holy poo what a TD catch!

Catch of the year contender.

Wild. #8 thought he had a gift wrapped INT and dude just plucks it one handed.

This games over.

This ND QB is trash and their play calling shows they have no confidence in him.

[LinvilleGorge]

Why did ND come into this game presumably with the game plan to completely ignore the existence of their best player? When they've given Love the ball he's looked good, they've just barely given him the ball.

Not so fast. ND scored to cut it to 7 and Miami just went three and out.

[LinvilleGorge]

Aaaaaaand... ND immediately throws an INT. Tried to run that same screen they've ran a dozen times tonight and Miami had two defenders sitting on it and he threw it anyway.

Miami got to conservative there. Now Notre Dame has plenty of time to get in range for a tying fg.

Well, defense bailed em out.

I don't think he's trash at all. Tough team, tough environment, freshman, and almost brought his team back.

Agreed, he played fairly well.  On that last series, his offensive line didn't do very well.

He played a lot better as the game went on but Miami also started softening up on D thinking they had it won. He was awful through the first three quarters.

what about the that bomb VT threw to #0 after that SC ruling.  That should have been a catch? It was to the sideline and he didn’t control it to the ground….he fell out of bounds? 

it does get logically weird to have to control it to the ground if you aren’t out of bounds….but don’t if you are out of bounds or in the endzone.   

I think you either leave the rule as is or you have to say the ground can’t cause an incompletion.   If given those two choices, the flawed first is better I think.  

whatever the rules are…teams are going to feel screwed I would think

 

Well the ground cant cause a fumble so to me it seems weird that it can cause an incompletion.

Wild week 0 + 1 but not as crazy as we have seen before imo

• Kansas St put up a fight, albeit an ugly one against Iowa State only to turn around and barely survive against North Dakota.
• Looks like this Florida State team might be more like the ACC winners than the 2-win squad from last season. Bama still looks competitive but FSU clearly wanted it more.
• Frank Reich and Mike Shula are still dumpster fire coaches, but it is fun remembering the 2015 Panthers watching Shula call plays for LaNorris. Speaking of... as much as it pains me to say it, South Carolina looks better than Clemson at the moment.
• South Florida's thumping of Boise State put to bed any postseason playoff drama for the Broncos. 
• Tarleton State over Army in 2OT!? Navy is going to smoke them this season.
• Looks like Wake Forest's strategy of recruiting older players with leftover COVID eligibility to play while pursuing their graduate degree has run its course after barely holding on 10-9 vs Kennesaw State. I've got a few friends from ATL that went there and they were lighting up social media.
• Close games for GT/Colorado, LSU/Clemson, and Texas/Ohio State. Nussmeier looked like the better prospect between him, Arch, and Cade. Drew Allar and LaNorris also looked really good. The QB class this season is going to be fun to watch.
• Tulane whooping up on Northwestern surprised me. Not that the latter is a powerhouse but I wouldn't have bet on that score. Going to be an interesting team to keep an eye on.
• I thought Kentucky would have ran the score up on Toledo, not keep it within one score.
