I still don't believe that Coan was throwing to Austin in that play... He just happened to be there at the perfect time.

[@powerssportsnetwork]

Drew Pyne needs to start for Notre Dame. Buchner isn’t ready yet.

[@danielwade1978]

Down 10-0 TB comes in and leads 2 TD drives to spark the offense. Not ready? Hhmm . . . 🤔 Did he make 2 freshman mistakes? Sure. Did you also see how the running game opened up with TB on the field? Yep. Because defenses have to respect the running ability of TB which opens it up for the RB’s as well. I like the idea that it should be Pyne & TB. Pyne alone? Absolutely not. Why do people forget the 5+ throws by Pine into double coverage and the multiple bad reads by him, presnap and after the snap? Maybe because 5 defenders have dropped the ball.

What does UNC have anything to do with ND? That analogy made my eyes criss-cross. Dont get it

[@brianjirish]
