In reply to: A few thoughts on Saturday posted by flanner96

1) Maryland hasn't lost 3 in a row under Tillman which goes back to 2002 or so? I forget but it was more than 20 years. If MD loses this game they could miss the tourney so they will be jacked.

2) Not having seen an actual game this year I'm a bit perplexed by the commentary that Jeffrey was stifled because they put a pole on him. Poles never stopped the Kavanaugh brothers. But perhaps that was because their supporting cast was more feared? I guess I'm somewhat concerned that Jeffrey can be completely shut down offensively by a game plan.

3) Agree completely with your assessment of this team's potential. I have been a naysayer on Angrick on this board for two years. I never felt he offered much on offense to be first team. But if he's having a Jake Taylor like breakout, whoa Nellie. Yago is the real deal and after two years of commentators saying ND's second line could beat most team's first lines, we are seeing it.

4) Our strength of schedule is insane. I wish we had at least two tomato cans in there. Playing Cuse, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina and on and on is a big deal. Only the 2024 Irish were truly good enough to roll through a schedule like that. We could play VERY well and lose 4 games this year.

5) I look forward to seeing Dylan Faison get some reps.

6) Ted Lally will be on the Tewaaraton watch list before his career is over.
