[Ale Xander]

Uncatxhable

 

[Ale Xander]

Run Riley Run

 

[Ale Xander]

LFG Beat ND

 

[Ale Xander]

HFS Waters

 

[Ale Xander]

Yes yes yes

 

[IdiotKicker]

You would root for Devils against the one true Church

Chaotic evil is always the most fun to play.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Washington is a machine on offense.

My weekly claim that Penix is winning the Heisman.

 

[Ale Xander]

4th down for Irish!!!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

My weekly claim that Penix is winning the Heisman.

Agreed and preach. Arizona is a top 40 defense this season. Thus far the Huskies are meeting little resistance in moving the ball. Its methodical.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Just drove from Phoenix to Tucson to visit my cousin who just started at U of A. Thinking this game won’t be close. Also Go Duke!

 

[Ale Xander]

Run Riley Run!!!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I didn't realize how athletic Leonard is. He's really impressive.

 

[Ale Xander]

GFI

 

[hawaiirsn]

Brady-esque pooch

 

[Ale Xander]

Oh good!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

Oh crapppppp

 

[shawnrbu]

What happened to Rece?

 

[cornwalls@6]

Awesome. Didn’t even know the replay rule. GJGE refs.

[Ale Xander]

one play pls

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Can’t let that happen Duke.

 

[Ale Xander]

goddam it, 4th and 16 and you let a 30 year old run for it?

 

[luckiestman]

Beast run

 

[canderson]

Going to be a rough loss for Duke. Their D choked away this drive.

Edit: 10 plays, 95 yards un less than 2 minutes. GJGE

 

[hawaiirsn]

4th and 16 holding becomes legal

 

[Ale Xander]

Duke football being Duke football

F this shit.

 

[shawnrbu]

Go down at the 1.

 

[Ale Xander]

Duke could use a pick-2

 

[cornwalls@6]

Estime!!!!

 

[luckiestman]

4th and 16 holding becomes legal

there’s no crying in football

 

[Ale Xander]

Hindsight is 20-20 and they still got a great punt, but I would have went for it on 4th and 6.

 

[Ale Xander]

I admire Rece's optimism

 

[shawnrbu]

Leonard got his ankle snapped.

 

[Ale Xander]

And Riley hurt.

What a poor last few minutes for Duke

 

[canderson]

And a devastating loss turns into a loss of their best player for the entire season it would seem. That’s brutal. And looks broken. .

 

[luckiestman]

Leonard got his ankle snapped.

Mahomes style

 

[Ale Xander]

I feel really bad for Duke football and fans

 

[cornwalls@6]

Damn, want to just revel in the win, but I hate seeing that injury. Hoping against hope it’s not as bad as it looks.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

They showed up and should have won, but I have no sympathy for them.

 

[Ale Xander]

More for the injury than the loss

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

That sucks. He's really fun to watch.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Season saving win for ND. Playoffs still a reasonable goal with potential signature games left with USC and the Dabos.

 

[Ale Xander]

Looks like a good game with the Mounties and Froggy

Going to need help this year I think even if they win out. It’s early but seems like more very good teams than usual.

Yeah, counting on some big 10/SEC cannibalism.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

If you lose a game, you'll always need help. But they're def alive.

 

[Ale Xander]

And new this year, you need it in the Pac-10notforlong too

Need Ducks, Huskies, Trojans, and new this year, the Cougs, all to lose at least 1

Probably need GA to lose 2, and Bama to lose one more. There's the SEC CG for one of those. A lot of SEC teams already lost that helps you guys.

Need each of UM, OSU, and PSU to lose

Need winner of Red River to lose one

Edit: oh f, I am getting old. It's 4 teams, not 2.

You have a great shot if you win out.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

ND always needs a little more help than others because the committee really values conference championships.

I think they have a shot, they don’t have a great shot. I say this wanting them to make it over everyone except FSU.

Yes, agree. Should’ve included the PAC 10. I like the seemingly increased parity this year, but it does make the loss more challenging to overcome. Particularly without the redemption of winning a conference championship game. The missed interception/10 men on the field last week loom large.
