Don't be a prick. In 5 of 6 years they've won 10-12 games with one terrible year in 2016. They've made the college playoff and they win some bowl games. They rise to the occasion in tough games. They don't always win. But they don't typically fall completely flat like we seem to. So get angry at me if you like, but beating them a couple years ago, as great as it was, doesn't mean we've been better overall
September 5th, 2021 at 10:30 PM ^
We also kicked their ass last time we played them, not even 2 years ago. We are seriously acting like 2020 was the death of Michigan football as we know it.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:32 PM ^
You're not wrong. It's been a tough 2 years.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:12 PM ^
Wildcatting the game away
September 5th, 2021 at 10:13 PM ^
Why do coaches fall in love with wildcat?
September 5th, 2021 at 10:16 PM ^
Change of pace? Desperation? The play seems to have run its course in that most teams are no longer confused by it and seem to be able to stop it. I am not a fan of it.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:14 PM ^
Well that was pretty awful. Night, night Noles
September 5th, 2021 at 10:14 PM ^
Whoever FSU’s OC is, he should be fired after this game
September 5th, 2021 at 10:17 PM ^
Their offense is an absolute comedy or errors and dysfunction. The fact that somehow managed to hold a lead in the second half was nothing short of a minor miracle.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:14 PM ^
Wildcat x2 then go for 4th & 2 on own 33 and and INT. Just poor coaching
September 5th, 2021 at 10:15 PM ^
Man, FSU sucks. They were so great not too long ago.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:15 PM ^
Well, that was idiotic. Then again if you're FSU your defense still sucks so you probably figure you can't stop ND anyways. FSU just still sucks and their coaching is bad.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:17 PM ^
Coan looks way better than Mertz did...
22/27, 4TD, over 335 yard after 3 quarters on the road isn't shabby
September 5th, 2021 at 10:19 PM ^
I mean true, but quality of opponent might not be the same. Going to wager a guess that PSU is much better than FSU. FSU still just sucks.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:26 PM ^
PSU is better than FSU no doubt, but this game is on the road, with an entirely new system and personnel for Coan.
Mertz was at home in a system he has known going into his third year.
Saying Coan isn't too shabby isn't calling him the next Joe Burrows; it looks like he's going to be a kid that could keep ND in the top 10
September 5th, 2021 at 10:18 PM ^
Can somebody explain why OC's make such insane play calls sometimes? Down by 17, doing a wildcat run on 3rd and 5 on your side of the field. Just idiotic.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:20 PM ^
I got nothing Walter
September 5th, 2021 at 10:21 PM ^
I wouldn’t want the wildcat ran from the opponents one…oh wait, never mind!
September 5th, 2021 at 10:23 PM ^
That will not be good for Norvell's image in Tallahassee. Sleep well, everyone.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:31 PM ^
FSU is just a mess. Even the TD was a mess.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:32 PM ^
Game’s not over yet
September 5th, 2021 at 10:38 PM ^
Man, FSU is shittily coached. You have all the momentum and you run into the kicker??
Edit: Kelly is going full purple!
September 5th, 2021 at 10:42 PM ^
Florida State just dodged a bullet point blank. That is a miracle for them, but I'm happy to watch Brian Kelly loose his shit
September 5th, 2021 at 10:43 PM ^
FSU got really lucky there, that is about as hard of contact as you can make with the punter. No idea how that isn't 15.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:48 PM ^
Kinda shocked FSU is still in this game TBH...
its felt like a couple of time ND had knocked them down for a standing 8 count, and yet here they are...Travis is, um, a bit of an adventure at QB, yet they are only 10 points down to a top 10 team..
September 5th, 2021 at 10:50 PM ^
Very cool story about the Florida state QB. Reminds me of Alex Smith. Hope he can spur them on to victory!
September 5th, 2021 at 10:53 PM ^
yeah, very cool story... the quote by his surgeon was basically, "its not impossible, buuuuut"
totally reminds me of Alex Smith... Not a fan of FSU, but gotta love a comeback story.
Helluva job by the medical personnel on the field and the surgical teams...
Shocked now...FSU within a FG?!
FSU QB controversy coming up?!
September 5th, 2021 at 10:59 PM ^
I mean, FSU looks like a total mess but it'd be hilarious if the mess beat nd!
September 5th, 2021 at 10:51 PM ^
I mean FSU has somehow cobbled together only being down 3 despite a QB who can't make throws from the pocket, terrible coaching and a bad defense. It's truly fascinating.
September 5th, 2021 at 10:58 PM ^
And they just scored off of the damn wildcat!
September 5th, 2021 at 11:02 PM ^
Yeah, it worked like a charm. What manner of sorcery is this? I'm so confused ...
September 5th, 2021 at 11:00 PM ^
going to be a great finish... wonder how many people who turned off the game after ND was up 38-20 are going to wake up tomorrow and think WTF?!
September 6th, 2021 at 2:59 AM ^
I almost did
September 5th, 2021 at 11:01 PM ^
Coan pretty much turtled on that 3rd down play.
What a great game it's been.
September 5th, 2021 at 11:02 PM ^
Looks like we have a game. Go noles!! Let’s find a new shade of purple for ol’ purple face!
September 5th, 2021 at 11:05 PM ^
Great story with Milton. Hope he pulls off the upset.
September 5th, 2021 at 11:06 PM ^
whoa... improv shovel pass!?
Love this kid already
September 5th, 2021 at 11:06 PM ^
How was this guy not starting?
September 5th, 2021 at 11:07 PM ^
FSU was sand bagging all game with Travis then decided they wanted to play and put Milton in. Great to see Milton back in action.
September 5th, 2021 at 11:08 PM ^
Great game.. Every time Milton (not that Milton) runs, my knees give me a little shiver. Or as my son used to say on a big downhill dip in the car.. my nuts tickle.
September 5th, 2021 at 11:08 PM ^
This game comes alive!
It's great to watch a QB that's having fun.
September 5th, 2021 at 11:10 PM ^
Damn!!!
I would have been upset if FSU missed that kick... Milton has been a warrior.
What. A. Game
September 5th, 2021 at 11:10 PM ^
ND could really use those time outs now.
September 5th, 2021 at 11:11 PM ^
Notre dame is hot garbage
September 5th, 2021 at 11:13 PM ^
Horse shit. The wr was pushed back.. And the ref stopped the clock on first down
September 5th, 2021 at 11:13 PM ^
Just imagine if the original qb’s helmet didn’t fall off during that play.
September 5th, 2021 at 11:15 PM ^
How’s thehell was Milton not starting?
September 5th, 2021 at 11:13 PM ^
Can we have a feel good story with Milton and a ND choke job? That would be fantastic.
September 5th, 2021 at 11:16 PM ^
do a hook and ladder for the win!
not that I am cheering for ND, but it would be a wild, wild finish
September 5th, 2021 at 11:16 PM ^
The ND TE blatantly pushed off before that drop. An in-real-time ball don’t lie.
