I went and watched the game again . 1. Big ten refs are worse than Pac 12 by a mile. 2. The score could have been 30-13 . No excuse. It wasn't close. 3. The wideouts need to do a much better job . 4. Jaden had plenty of time to throw. No excuse for red zone scoring . Way too many low percentage throws . The ref caused one in getting in the way . Fire him.

The play calling has been atrocious all season especially in the red zone we have 3 solid RB'S plus a mobile QB along with 3 or 4 good blocking TE'S we have to run the ball.

For SC to win against ND they will need to play like they did against LSU and Riley needs to have a similar play calling scheme as he did against Nebraska. Keep the Domers off-balance.
@actlikewhoАй бұрын
This is ALL on Riley! At this point, we have nothing to lose! Therfore, we can only hope Riley gets out of his own way to open the playbook to be more creative and aggressive! Playing TO WIN! Rileys mindset is to play NOT TO LOSE! Stop with the conservative BS playcalls, especially in the redzone! Absolutely horrible! Rileys playcalling is beyond pathetic! Always in hopes the clock is in your favor.. Aways waiting for the refs to determine your fate! Always relying on a so-so, gassed out defense to save day, or a place kicker thats not exactly trustworthy! There would be no worries to anything if Riley keeps his foot on the gas and opens the playbook and doesn't get vanilla & predictable! Good things can happen this Saturday if he can come up with a better philosophy than what we've seen this year! Wake up Lincoln, your time is up!!

So is USC. I went back and looked Notre Dame’s schedule; pretty easy schedule. They really have not beat any team of note. Plus their pass game is very rough. This year ND is pretty one dimensional. Very few intermediate or long passes. Just runs and dink and dunk passes. I’m betting USC will focus on shutting down the run.

Thanks, again, Marc! You’re spot-on with the stale playbook. The trick play worked because the rest of the plays are mostly predictable. Keeping the opposition off balance is absolutely required against ND. Maybe more RPO, maybe a short yardage offense like the Eagles with Hurts…would probably work better with Maiava than with Moss. Bottom line: come up with some new plays that involve deception?🤔 FIGHT ON!!!✌️✌️✌️

Marc, you echoed something I have been saying since last year and been very apparently, most teams have figured out the 'offensive genius' and his scheme, and how can he only sporadically come up with a creative game plan then revert to form? As we (including yourself) have been screaming the entire season 'run the damn ball' as a part of that creative game plan. I would much prefer to be optimistic but lost all faith in Riley some time ago and struggle to see the light at the end of the tunnel this season or next
@stevedolan5065Ай бұрын
The coaches have said all along this season they are looking for “consistency”…I think that sums it up at all positions with exception of the punter. C’mon CLFR, open up the playbook, run the ball when they expect the pass etc. Fight On and beat the doomers! ✌🏻 edit…if you take a look at the ND schedule…other than beating ATM, it’s NOT impressive at all…I don’t know how their sos is rated but it can’t be very high.

How many times do we keep saying this? LRs playcalling, especially in the red zone, kept the games close and put additional pressure on the defense which sometimes it was unable to handle. But like the UCLA game, if LR could get the ball into the end zone,. we would have been up by 3-scores at the half.

The problem with USC scoring in the red zone that Maiava is not an accurate passer. Moss would have scored… if there was little or no pass rush. Maiava is less accurate but a better runner. Moss is a better passer but way less mobile. If Maiava is going to be QB 1 Riley needs to use his legs.

If you changed QBs because Maiava is more athletic than Moss and can run and has a cannon for an arm as well..then USE HIS LEGS!! Tell him to use them!! RPOs, bootlegs, scrambles, misdirection, pulling guards and tackles..The fake dive, pop pass to McRee was a great call, just too high and the ref got in the way. Use some imagination and creativity for God sakes!! It will work. Every time inside the five. Everyone crashes to the middle, you just pull out the ball and walk into the endzone. Or flip it to a wide open TE..It's pretty simple..Fire the cannons at the Irish.. What do they have to lose? The season has been a big, bitter disappointment and letdown (over hyped again), but as usual, all we are playing for is to spoil ND which makes me sick. They'll all be there on Saturday with all their green on and being smug and arrogant thumbing their noses at us like always..Just read all the articles on their sites. USC has spectacularly crashed and burned under Lincoln Riley, ND is the greatest, should roll in this game, blah blah blah. Hopefully, we play just one great game with the crowd just roaring on every single play with cardinal and gold flags and pom poms like it used to be in the 70s and the Carroll era when we kicked their ass every single year!! It would be nice to see their smug smiles wiped off their faces when we send them back to South Bend with an L an out of the CFP. Then just watch how fast they turn on the team and Freeman..We lost to that crap team?? It would be nice.. Not holding my breath, but we'll see.

Our playcalling is still questionable. It has a glaring lack of creativity. I don't see where Riley is scheming to get players open. All I see is a bunch of 50/50 jump balls of hope and an occasional trick play. Lincoln Riley needs to do a lot better in order to maximize what these kids bring to the table. As far as I'm concerned I don't want to hear anyone calling Lincoln Riley an offensive Guru until he can prove to show us some consistent schemes with diversity on play calling.

Oh Marc- you cannot polish a turd. And we did not "beat up on ucla" it was another squeaker that could have gone either way deep into the 4th Q. "D" overall did a good and decent job. Our O line can make any QB look bad, and play calling is ridiculously atrocious. CLRs creativity consisted of handing off the a tight end once and letting Makai pass that deep ball. That was a moment. What if that failed and the odds weren't high since he never passed a ball before. I agree we cannot lean on over burden Hudson. Spreading it around and h'e a secret weapon in the right place. We cannot RPO behind this O line though Marc - we all talk about Noa and Murphy and they're on the same side. Not making excuses, just untrained eye observations. But we'll take the win, even the bottom dwellers ucla. We were only 4 of 14 on third down and ran the ball 29 times for only 113 yds. Bottom dwelling bRuins had 20 more yards than us. This was like a bad scrimmage. Not a $110M effort
