    John Goodman has been under utilized all year. What a catch!

    Me too. It was quite a moment.

    It's nice to see us actually take it to a inferior team. I really didn't want to have to sit through another home nail-biter.

    All three people out on routes were WIDE open there.

    My buddy has a conspiracy theory that Kelly limited Wood's touches this year in order to keep his draft stock low so that he would come back next year.

    Sounds crazy. But also sounds genius.

    221 yards of offense in the first quarter. I'm okay with that.
  • karen lotz
    Honestly I'd be happily shocked if Wood comes back.
  • Crimson streak
    That was a dumb throw by golson
  • karen lotz
    Followed by a pretty good one

    I wanted 35-0 at half. I'm happy with 31-0.

    Time to keep the foot on the gas in the second half and run it up a bit.

    Good win finally nice to have a blow out. Golson played well they actually have the ball to cierre wood and he goes for 150

    Great send-off for the Seniors. ND looked really good today. And it all comes down to the trip to SoCal next Saturday.....

    That also sounds shady as s---. Lol. But also something that people say Coach K does at Duke. Which is clearly not true and I'd highly doubt is true of Kelly either. These guys are beyond that, as successful as they are.

    I really like Kelly as a coach. He conducts himself as well as any other college football coach in the country. He just has an elevated presence about him, especially when being interviewed. Not in an arrogant way, but more in a noble and distinguished manner that commands respect. In college basketball, Coach K and Tom Izzo and Billy Donovan and Bill Self have it. That type of dignified demeanor is rare in today's age, IMO, and something that I've really noticed with Kelly. You could group Nick Saban in there, too, and probably one or two others.

    Kelly is big enough of a dickhead to do it IMO. A huge stretch, but I wouldn't put it past him.
