NCAA 2014 Season Discussion

Malik Zaire starting for Notre Dame tonight. Hope he can avoid turning over the ball and maybe provide a spark for the Irish offense.

Banged up Irish defense facing a tough night. At least Sheldon Day is back.

polaris68

Nice drive and 8 minutes taken off the clock.

Hammar

Very impressed with Zaire so far.

polaris68

Liking the 137 yards rushing so far on the SEC meanest defense.

Really disliking the crappy special teams play.

Itssoeasy

Ball broke the plane but you couldn't see where his knee was.

eagle eye

Excellent first half for the Irish, can't wait for next season after what I seen there from Zaire.

polaris68

Yes, Kelly should keep him in for the rest of the game.

Judging by Golson's body language on the sideline, he'll probably transfer over the summer.

polaris68

LSU turnover, gotta make this count.

polaris68

Zaire is have an excellent game and Kelly sends in Golson on a key drive. Result: 3 and out.

Hammar

Ready for the Brian Van Gorder era to end...

Is Golson not a senior?

Edit: Ah, he is a senior but still has another year of eligibility left. Strange situation, I would have had him down as a redshirt junior.

polaris68

Probably has something to do with him being academically suspended last year.

polaris68

Golson leading a good drive here.

Hammar

All on Brindza now

polaris68

Here we go, all on Brindza with a 32 yd FG to win the game.

polaris68

And it's good.

Hammar

Great win,and it has to be said,a terrific game plan by Brian Kelly.

polaris68

Great tonic after a dismal 2nd half of the season.

Roll on 2015, QB situation at Notre Dame will be very interesting over the next 9 months.

eagle eye

Delighted with the exciting win for Notre Dame earlier.

Watched Georgia game and the fantastic performance from Nick Chubb. Hurley is forgotten about already in Bulldog country.

Bateman

The clues were there during the Gurley suspension that with Chubb, they have another serious prospect on their hands, was no surprise to see him scoring yesterday but what a run it was to zig zag in for the TD (although the defending could have been better).

Had Louisville +7 and that TD killed it, had a feeling they weren’t coming back.

Horned Frogs surely get it done today.

Anyone have further understanding Golson's situation with regard to transferring?

Considering his time out of school during his RS Soph year, does he have enough credits to graduate in Jan and transfer straight into another program as a 5th yr Senior without having to sit out a year? Like Cody Riggs this year, basically...

He's asked the NFL draft evaluation board about the 2015 draft, but surely he's a late final day pick at best? Feel bad for the guy as it looked like he had it all, but now might end up being a back-up/timeshare in his final year after sticking around during all his academic drama last year.

Surely he'd be better off sticking with ND than declaring anyway - take another run at being the starter.

JaMarcusHustle

I don't get how he's a senior though. He was a freshman in 2011 but didn't play because Rees was the starter so he redshirted. Then he was redshirt freshman in 2012. He was suspended for his sophomore year last year so now he should only be a redshirt junior? Unless he's just an academic senior, but that ND sports website lists him as a senior too.

Yep, my understanding is that he's currently a redshirt junior in eligibility terms...

But I think you need to properly graduate to transfer without having to sit out a year - i.e. going to do a Masters somewhere else, not transferring your undergraduate.

Unless he was taking classes elsewhere during the year he was suspended, then he might have accrued enough credits to transfer. I would've thought any team recruiting a 5th yr senior QB to start would want him in for winter training to learn asap.

Big decision on his hands, as I reckon he does have pro-talent to demonstrate if given the opportunity.. Just needs to stop the fumbles!

Chubb now has the 4th highest single season rushing yards in Georgia history despite only starting 7 games.

Even more ridiculous is the fact that Herschel Walker holds the top 3 all by himself.

This is why I would have loved TCU in the play offs.

eagle eye

Great start for TCU, int followed by a very nice trick play. Their D is looking good again on this drive.

You can thank the Big 12 and their stupid idea of not having a conference championship game for one of Baylor/TCU not having the opportunity to win a national title.

eagle eye

Up 14-0 and their D has been impressive and as I type they intercept Ole Miss again.

eagle eye

Wow, they give it straight back to Ole Miss, feeling like the Rebels are starting to figure out the Horned Frogs offense.

eagle eye

Well this is turning into a defensive dog fight now. Neither offense can stay on the field for long.
