Still coming to terms with the end, which I just learned about. Jon is right unfortunately about baseline adjustment -- that was the 2008 offense on one of its bad days

WMU is really well coached but come on they're a MAC team that lost half their starters. After the first drive we did literally nothing until there was slightly less than one second left. It's just incredible that the OL could be that bad. Bryce being terrible is unfortunately not as shocking -- that he could regress was not out of the realm of possibility. Saying this was a bad game for the offense is like saying Biden had a bad debate.

- 2 years ago, Notre Dame lost at home to Northern Illinois 16-14. They were outgained 5.9-4.7 yards per play. ND won their next 13 straight games - By brick September 6, 2026 at 12:13:32 AM
  - that's an outlier. 9/10 that data indicates a bad to mediocre team* - By Daytripper September 6, 2026 at 12:19:27 AM
    - You're not wrong but I'll give you another example. Way back in 1987, Miami Fl. barely beat a 3-7-1 Toledo team 24-14. It was 17-14 until a Miami player ran a fumble back at the very end - By brick September 6, 2026 at 12:29:28 AM
  - I mean that's a good point but I can't shake how utterly awful the OL was. We KNOW Marshall is a great college back. The pass blocking was arguably even worse. Bryce looks totally lost out there - By Paul September 6, 2026 at 12:17:08 AM
- Agreed. A gifted Hail Mary conversion flips our record but no other takeaways from the game. The defense, the punter and Buchanan looked good though* - By LewisBullox September 6, 2026 at 12:12:33 AM
- basically took a 100 year ref cockup to get lucky enough to win it. this was really bad and yea, the biden debate is a fair comparison imo - By Daytripper September 6, 2026 at 12:10:16 AM
