If I'm being completely honest, I truly believe that loss

is our worst loss since LSU beat us in the National Championship game. The only difference between the two is that we lost to LSU due to poor play calling, but we lost to Notre Dame because of poor officiating. Without those crappy officials from Saturday we would have beaten Notre Dame by 30+ points.

trend line from the last three weeks was pointed this way. we seemed determined to screw up enough to give a game away. each week we find a way to hand someone a td. this week the additional D player losses and no run blocking combined with penalties and turnovers to sink us.

Also, we couldn’t run the game out against BC. Couldn’t get a first down and had to punt. Ended up better but should have been able to move the sticks.

we deserved to lose. Couldn't stop ND on offense and couldn't run the ball ourselves. Revenge will be great come December

So many other places to point to besides officiating in my opinion ...
Case in point ..we take care of the football and the game doesn’t even go to OT.. We spotted them 10 points on turnovers...

On both of those turnovers Notre Dame
Nov 9, 2020, 11:16 AM

committed egregious penalties that weren't called. Neither turnover should have happened. Also, on the ETN "fumble" the guy didn't even score.

Tigers had the ball and the lead with 2 1/2 minutes to go and punted to ND with 2 minutes to go. Absolutely a tremendous coaching error

You mean after the refs botched managing the clock?

Is that the possession you're referring to?

The refs knocking ETN out of bounds was just uncalled for. Fire Swofford.

I agree play calling in the final two minutes of regulation was pathetic.We wasn’t able to run the ball all night and as we always do we try to run out the clock by , guess what, running the ball.We had just went the length of the field passing and ND couldn’t stop us but we can’t throw a pass in that last couple of minutes to get a first down and win.We were due a loss.I still have confidence in our staff . I just wish they would play to win in the final minutes.It works fine against mediocre teams but not ones with great defenses like ND has this year

Here is a thought. How many times did we see the Jumbo package come in? Zero. I think that last series in regulation when you KNOW your O Line cant run block would have been a GREAT time to do it. Now, I admit it's not exactly CW or big Dex, and maybe they just suck at it, but I seriously think it would have been a GREAT time to give our line an extra 600lbs of beef to maybe eek out a yard rather than a foot.

well coaching and bad play. Penalty and running out of bounds? C'mon understand the moment. That stopped the clock 2 times. However, Clemson still had a 98.5% chance of winning at the time ND took over at their own 9 yard line with 1:48 left.

ETN didn't run out of bounds. I don't understand why
Nov 9, 2020, 12:21 PM
|
|
people keep saying this. He turned up field and the defender hit him in bounds, grabbing his feet and tripping him up and ETN's momentum on the fall caused him to hit the sidelines. He actually got a hand down in bounds on the way down and was very close to getting a leg down in bounds.

In a normal game situation OK. It wasn't a bang bang play. He caught the ball at the hashmark and ran to the edge creating the situation.

Your right about the fact it was our worse loss since LSU. Everything else is a moot point.

Notre Dame scored more points than us. That hasn’t happened to us since January. I truly believe if we can score more points than the other team from here on out, we won’t lose another game.

We got beat on the line of scrimmage all night. Defense had an excuse. Too many starters out. Offensive line had no excuse. Terrible!!

Hard to blame officiating when we got away
Nov 9, 2020, 12:08 PM
|

With two very blatant PI’s.
I’m a Clemson homer but take off your orange tinted glasses, we had some huge breaks go our way that were very questionable too.

lost. They got away with PI calls, they had a long pass that clearly hit the ground, they got a defensive touchdown that didn't break the plane, they got a gift of the clock being stopped on our final possession, they committed holding all night without it being called. That game was stolen from our Tigers.
