tOSU at Notre Dame, Sat. 9/23, 7:30pm EST, NBC

The Georgia one made everyone feel better because it was close but it was still a loss. No moral victory trophies get displayed in the WHAC (yet at least).

How about we see the '20 Clemson guy. Find a way to win the fucking game. If he wants to make it an ass whipping, that's fine.
Ryan Day calls the offense and not the defense. Both of the games you mentioned we scored over 40 points. You know what the point of my post was.

We need the offense from those games. We do that and we’ll be in a great position to win.

Their confidence is growing. Good. They've beaten a service academy, an HBCU, and a MAC school. Bring it on.


Such a hack job but whatever helps you I guess Norte Dame lol

Literally was asked about last years game being close and Coach Day was plainly stating that in matchup games you do whatever you need to do to win the game which can include owning time of possession (kind way of saying winning ugly). Him saying “so that’s what we’ll do” was Coach Day affirming that they’ll do whatever it takes to win.

“I thought (defensive coordinator) Al Golden and the defensive staff had a great game plan last year and really did a good job of executing it for the first game of the year, trying to figure out who we were defensively. And part of the mindset going into that game was trying to control the ball as long as we could,” Freeman said this week. “Limit their offensive possessions.”

Going into this year’s game against Ohio State, however, Freeman has a better idea of what his team can do because it has already played four games this season. Couple that with an offense that’s been more explosive this season thanks to the addition of transfer quarterback Sam Hartman, and Notre Dame plans to take a much different approach to this year’s game.

“It's still gotta be complementary football as we go into this Saturday, but I don't want to play not to lose,” Freeman said. “I want our guys to be aggressive and our guys to be attacking. And so we will play complementary football, but our objective isn't just to hold the ball and huddle every single play, kind of what my mindset probably was last year.”

Because Notre Dame has already played four games this season – the Fighting Irish have played one more game than most schools because they played a Week 0 game against Navy in Dublin, Ireland – Freeman feels like his team enters this year’s game against Ohio State with a better feel for what it does well.

“I think there's a lot of different factors,” Freeman said when comparing this year’s game to last year. “You have a year under your belt. It's not the first game of the year. You've been able to develop an identity as a program with these first four games. And so it is a lot different than what it was last year, being the first game of that season for me and the first game of the year.”

BE FOREWARNED. For Skull Session readers who plan to attend the top-10 showdown between the Buckeyes and Irish, please remember that there will be a “Green Out” at Notre Dame Stadium as the Notre Dame football team wears its alternate green uniforms for the 17th time in the past 40 years.


Also, be forewarned, as Eleven Warriors user GA Buckeye has delivered a message to the 11W staff that Notre Dame plans to use some theatrics involving the color green before, during and after kickoff:
I don’t know if you have heard about this "situation" already. I had to create an ND account to receive the tickets an ND alum purchased got me for the game in South Bend, so I received this email [featured below]. I have already ordered some red LED wristbands for my group to wear because I sure as hell won’t be wearing their green one. Maybe other Eleven Warriors fans can be forewarned?
The email:
Ticketed game attendees will receive a programmed LED Wristband waiting for you at your seat when you get to the game. This experience, brought to you by the Rockne Athletics Fund, will light up the night sky in a sea of Fighting Irish green throughout the game.
That’s where you come in! To make sure everyone enjoys this incredible sight, we ask you to please:
ACTIVATE YOUR BAND When you arrive at your seat, be sure to activate your LED Wristband by pulling on the tab located near the battery.
ONLY TAKE ONE There will be one LED Wristband per seat for everyone in the stadium to enjoy! Please be considerate of your neighbors and only take one.
BE READY When instructed, be sure you’re at your seat and proudly displaying your LED Wristband! Special light shows will occur when the team runs out and throughout the game.
DON’T TRADE Your unique wristband has been programmed to light up in your section and row when the time comes. Don’t swap your wristband with friends or family seated in other locations throughout the stadium. This will help you enjoy the full effect.
