Per ND fans, we're doomed

[cincyjacket]

I don't disagree with you. But there's no denying our offense is balanced on the edge of a knife every time the QB makes a risky pitch. A pair of fumbles will turn any game around. If we don't put the ball on the ground, we win.

I'm glad we already saw once instance of bad timing causing a fumble, in a game that was in hand. Gave the coaches ammo to hammer that issue.

Since you brought this up, I wonder why don't we simply change the pitch angle so that it's considered a forward pass (assuming we are behind the LOS). That way if the pitch isn't handled, there's no risk of a turnover.

One of the option pitches to Marshall on Saturday was a forward pass. However, I think its a lot easier to catch a ball coming towards you than it is from behind you. Especially when the people trying to hit you are coming from the front.

They have better athletes and better coaching. Their arrogance knows no bounds.

You would think they would be more humble after barely escaping UVA. Apparently not.

Being a humble fan or staying above board is...not a foundation of a ND fan...........they will suffer saturday.:turbonoes:

Dunno. BVG already destroyed one option team from the inside out.
