Notre Ladies needed only one station to provide a much needed victory on Saturday night. Instead, the fighting Irish is allowed Texas A & M Truptback Marcel Reed to throw a crossing on 11 yards in 4. and naked. The next additional point placed agents ahead, 41-40, with 13 seconds left. When notre ladies could not do anything in the next two plays, time was carried, giving Iris 0-2 records in the season that started so much promises.
Eight months after loss In the national cover game, IRKI is probably necessary to win its remaining 10 regular seasonal games to return to the playoff college. They did it a year ago after a amazing TEDAL 2 LOSS TO THE CORRECT ORDER OF ILINOS.
However, expecting that notre ladies restarted the table is a high task, especially with regard to the defensive team fights. This is the first time that the Irish allowed at least 40 points in the regulation since 2019. years, three years before Marcus Freeman took over as the main coach in December 2021. years. Texas A & M, others and others, others came to Freeman, and an average of 7.1 meters, and on average 7.1 yards per game. Aggia first won the travel game against a ranked opponent from November 2014. years.
The Irish did not have bags and only two deals for a loss, the second consecutive game could not get much pressure on the return blow. In the season in the opening of the season 27-24 loss In Miami, notre ladies had one bag and two deals for loss. Irish fought so much that Freeman asked after a match on Saturday whether he would consider the change of the playground in defense, the first year of the defensive coordinator Chris Ash currently holding.
“No,” Freeman answered quickly. “No. It’s not a call. It’s an execution … I was a player. Sometimes it can be overpriced as much as that is that reproduction. And that’s what we have to assess.”
A year ago, Irač greatly succeeded due to his defense, who had an opponent at 15.5 points per game (third in subdivision football vessels) and 4.6 meters per game (ninth in FBS). Al Golden, the defensive notre Dame coordinator, received Broiles Rewards as a top coach of the nation. But by the time the prizes was announced, the golden was engaged as the Defense Coordinator Cincinnati Bengals as the ash joined Irish as gold replaced.
The ash was a scout with Jacksonville Jaguaru last season, but before he was more than 25 years of coaching in the Faculty and NFL. He was the co-defensive coordinator of the Ohio State Championship 2014 and spent four seasons as the main coach in Rutgers, where he went 8-32, including the loss of his final 17 games before he fired in September 2019. Years.
Irki Iran entered the Season confident in his defense, especially with several starts coming back, including the Corner information of Leonard Moore, the presidents of the first team. And notre ladies had a series of defense coordinators who continued on the main tasks, starting with Mike Elko (which is now Texas A & M coach) and continues with Clark Lea (now in charge of 20 Vanderbilt), Freeman and Golden.
So far, however, ash is reminiscent of Brian Vangider, who was exhausted As the defensive coordinator of the Notre Dame after the team began 1-3 in 2016. years. This year Irish are Tied in 105. In the nation with 34 points, per game, 89.5.5 meters are allowed according to the game and 99. with 8.3 yards allowed by passing pass. They missed the leadership of veterans and a position Linebacker Jack Kiser, Security Xavier Wats and Defensive Linemen Rilie Mills and Howard Cross III, everyone graduated. They didn’t seem to catch a realized ash system.
On Saturday, notre ladies played without Devont Smith, the transfer of Alabama’s carcasses that suffered injuries during heating. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the initial security adon shuler was invited to target and dropped out of the game. And a replay shown Texas A & M Offensive Listen held Notre Dame defensive Lineman Donovan Nadliv in Final Agia.
Despite this, Freeman did not have excuses why the Irish allowed to throw 360 meters (21.2 meters after the end) and two Touchdova, including the middle of the first half to Mario Craver, which ended with seven catches for 207 meters. Texas A & M also got 128 meters at 32, and Le’veon Moss led a road with 81 yards at 20 wears and three Touchdowns.
“It’s not good enough,” said Freeman. “It’s not enough in running and passes enough. It’s not good enough to push on the pressure.”
At the offense, Irish had some bright stains, with an offensive coordinator of Mike Denbrock, relying more on his talented race backs than he had opened a playbook for a check mark CJ CAR, who was his second start to his career. President All-American Running Back Jeremiyah Love Getting 94 meters at 23. Years and scores two-time (one run and one reception) and backup price in the amount of 68 meters and two Touchdowns at 12 wear. It was worse than a combined 16 stretcher and 68 meters and without the tougher in Miami.
CARR has always gone 20 of 32 for 293 meters (14.7 meters after completion) with top and interception and 143.5 evaluation, improvement of 19 out of 30 for 221 yards (11.6 meters) with hot and interception and 140.5 assessment against Miami.
“I thought he played really well,” said Freeman. “There’s nothing I can’t think of my head where I say,” Hey, you have to live with it. “Tonight, the hell, led our criminal, protected the ball into big places to make some performances. The protection of wise, it’s a hard defense, and we made a really good job in third place.
The same cannot be said for Ireland as a whole. Nevertheless, Notre Dame is ranked 24. in the Associated Press survey, for the first time in 37 years that the team of 0-2 was in the top 25, toward Athletic’s Ralph Russo. Voters are likely to give an Irish benefit from doubt because they lost the first two matches combined four points of teams that are every 3-0 and are in fourth place (Miami) and 10. (Texas A & M). Also remember last season when the Irish won their final 10 regular seasons, progressed to CFP and then won Three more games below before you lose Ohio State in the National Home Game.
Is the repeated script take place? Maybe. But Irish faces a more severe layout than a year ago, although only one opponent (no. 25 USC) is ranked. They also have to fix their defense in a hurry, the task that at least for now looks intimidating.
