Good
The Irish Won. After
the 0-2 start last season, fans should be pretty happy starting this season
2-0. I caution the ND Nation and be
aware that the Spartans and the Wolverines are coming up fast.
Everett Golson passed for 289 yards, completing 21 passes on
31 attempts with 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions.
The Notre Dame offense completed 24 passes to 9 different
receivers for 324 yards.
George Atkinson had a kickoff return for 32 yards.
2 interceptions returned for a total of 47 yards.
Golson’s confidence (which will be under scrutiny after
Kelly inserted Tommy Reese) and touchdown dive.
Notre Dame’s defensive front three combining for 4 sacks
(Tuitt-2, Nix-1.5, Lewis-Moore-.5)
Bad
The rushing game: 52
net rushing yards, 1.4 yards per rush, 55 yards lost rushing.
3 fumbles (luckily, only 1 lost)
Penalties: 8 for 52 yards, 2 personal fouls on two stupid late
hits by two team captains.
The Irish defense allowed Purdue to go 3 for 3 on fourth
down.
The number of players that came out at one point or another
for “injuries.”
Ugly
The Notre Dame offensive line allowed 5 sacks losing a total
of 40 yards.
The way Golson carries the ball (this may be more scary than
ugly)
Notre Dame’s final interception as time expired. Take a knee, end the game, don’t risk a
fumble.
Yanking Golson*. I
know it worked out and there are reports of an “injured” hand, but I don’t care.
Irish fans booing Tommy Reese coming into the game. Although I did not like it and was dazed and confused,
don’t boo.
The lack of accessibility of players to the media after the
game. Only Zack Martin and Manti Te’o
were made available.
*I am not anti-Reese
