LSU vs notre dame - KOD
- Thread starter THE KOD
- Start date
No, you don't lose to rival USC by 35 points ? in a game in which Kelly basically thanked Trojans coach Steve Sarkisian for showing second-half mercy ? and do nothing about it.
So the Irish now turn to Zaire, a redshirt freshman who has said and done all the right things whenever the camera's been on him, who possesses plenty of tools but otherwise remains a mystery. He has nine completions for 170 yards on 20 pass attempts to his name, all in garbage time against the Trojans, and he has rushed for one score. He also broke off a 56-yard run on his first career play ? again in garbage time ? back at the end of a Week 1 rout of Rice, when things still seemed so promising for Notre Dame.
So the southpaw gets his first career call, capping a season in which Kelly insisted again and again that he would not pull a healthy Golson, a stance that does not hold up so well when the public's last impression of your team is a 49-14 loss to a similarly underachieving ? and even more beaten-up ? rival.
When your quarterback gets overwhelmed as the defense and special teams collapse around him, a lot can be forgiven. When that happens as Year 5 of your regime rounds to a close, when you're supposedly a quarterback whisperer who is still looking for an answer at quarterback after all these years, you have to wonder if it is time to look in the mirror. :scared:scared
A season that was lost under center, more than anywhere else. Making a change at QB underscores that. Whether it was the player or the coach underachieving will become a whole lot clearer for all to see once the lights come on Tuesday for Zaire and there is nowhere to hide.:mj07::mj07:

Look for Notre Dame to come out and get shellacked. That is what I expect to happen. ND should have turned down this bowl and gone to a lesser one, I think.
Not sure how you turn down a bowl game without being completely embaressed.
oh wait they have been embaressed all year.
Les Miles staying put and not going to Michigan.
Team focused.
Run Run Run .............ND defense in shambles
uh oh
I smell money and it smells green
Notre Dame has turned down bowl invites before, they did it a couple of years ago when they went 6-6. What I meant was that they should have chosen to go to a lesser bowl game so they could actually win one for a change.
I didnt know they had some choices.
I wouldnt have blamed them for backing out of LSU game

well classic example of a team not really giving two shits about winning this bowl game.
how do you lose to ND with that defense and running backs.
:facepalm:
thats the problem in bowl games. It is not a sad day in LSU
the game meant nothing to them.
the rat bastids
The whole fucking season was a sad day for LSU, reason why they didn't care about this game.
