Hey is he getting any action tonight for watching Breaking Bad? If so, not a bad idea in my opinion. I mean the game is 28-0 at halftime so what is the purpose of watching that slaughter.

[SquishDaFish]

Give it a break. They are in national championship for a reason. They are a dman good team with a great defense. Yea 1 game makes a team?!?! Sure.

Teo has Not been able to shed blocks all season. Reminds memofmrolamdo McClain. Lots of hype but not a dominant nfl lb

Great defenses dont give up 28 points in a half, and it should've been more. A great defense if they never have to play the SEC I guess.

And T'eo is playing like garbage. Trying to arm tackle a SEC running back doesn't work.

T'eo drops out of top15 cause of this game

[SquishDaFish]

R u ever on the sane side of anything... anything?

Like you ever know what your talking about. 1 game doesnt make this team a joke. They are a great team. They have one of the best defenses in college football. Those are facts jackass. Yea they are getting beat but they are missing a ton of tackles which never happens. AND to top it off they had help from the refs early in the 1st quarter.

Your right 100%. This is by far his worst game of his college career. But that doesnt make his career either.

I'll still take him at 8. Notre Dame is just so overwhelmingly inferior right across the board, it would be tough for anybody to look decent the way 'Bama is playing. And, I am completely enjoying the **** out of it.

He was never a top 5 pick, or a top 15. Scouts know what's up. Remember Upshaw? Nuff said.

I'd just as soon take Jones or Warmack, let the Fins take Teo, and beat up on him twice a year.

[ParanoidAndroid]

You know who is bad? Nicks..... He is the slowest off the snap every single play. T'eo is not looking like a guy who is going to come in and anchor a linebacking corps in the NFL.

nah, i just watch football and share my thoughts, im wrong as much as i am right, but i watch a lot of ND.

with you on warmack, or matthews. the only positions we should be looking at if we stay in the top ten is DL/OL, or trade back and take a WR/TE.

Arthur Brown is the only LB I'd take early in this draft.

[Arctic Wild Man]

Bama is running everything outside taking Teo out of his game. The times they do run up the middle Teo over pursues and misses the play.

[Gilly]

that alabama corner mildner plays smooth....

People around here would freak if we took an OL in the first, especially an interior OL. I wouldn't. Not saying I would take one, but actually wouldn't freak about it.

I'm just not sure on Arthur Brown. I've watched him play for 2 years now (he's much better than last year)...I just don't think he's big enough.

We've got two good players (assuming Russ Brandon isn't a liar - not a safe assumption but...), two borderline starters that could use an upgrade, but the real problem is at tackle. If we went RT or LT in the first round I'd be ecstatic.

[Ingtar33]

Te'o had one of the worst games of football I've ever seen him play. He's a much better player then that, he looked too amped up at the start, then when things started to go bad, he started to play outside of his job to cover for others and make something happen. of course that took him out of position to do his job... and of course he couldn't get off any block from that o-line.

still would take him in round 1. he's too good to kill his whole career over just one game... but man, would have loved to see him play better on the big stage.

If he can't get off a block vs these guys, how's he going to do it in the NFL?

[Ingtar33]

If he can't get off a block vs these guys, how's he going to do it in the NFL?

lots of reasons a guy can't get off blocks. but this was the first time i thought "can he play MLB in the NFL?" I've seen this kid play against NFL quality players the last two years, and he never looked like he did tonight. I never had a doubt he could play MLB before this mess. Now however...

I don't know... now i'm thinking WLB might be a better fit for him in the NLF, more like a Derrick Brooks type then anything else. Might even be the case too...

really shocking what i saw... I know alabama is loaded on the line, all 5 of those guys will have careers in the nfl... but i didn't think their guards were anything special, frankly i'm still not sure they are... which is what makes Te'o's night all the more shocking. They're good players, but not THAT good on the inside of that line.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

So we're on year four of "SEC champ defense beats up on garbage quarterback." It's so freaking monotonous. I'm sick of these idiot coaches who keep bringing the exact same read-option plays into the NCG as they ran during the season. All Saban does is blitz blitz blitz until they get knocked into a 3rd and long, and knock the ball down on the inevitable horrid pass.

Can decent dropback passers please not choke away winnable conference games please? I'm looking at you Mr. Luck, Mr. Griffin, and Mr. Weeden.

[OpIv37]

If one good thing comes out of this ****ing god-awful game, it will be that Te'o falls to us.

The dude had a bad game. One. After dominating for an entire season and being above average to great for his entire career before that.

Alabama has had this pressure on them before. The current ND roster has not. Judging Te'o by this game alone is flat-out ignorant. As an avid ND fan, I've watched every game of Te'o's career and tonight's game is not a good representation of what he can do. Even the best of the best have off nights, and ND's heralded defensive line played like ****, which made his job that much harder. The kid can play- I've seen him do it far more often than not.

There will be no QB's worthy of the #8 pick still on the board at #8. Take Te'o.

[Wolffman]

Top 10 NFL picks make big plays in big games. Te'o didn't just have a bad game tonight, he got completely and totally manhandled. Missed tackles, couldn't get off blocks and was lost in pass coverage.

You know why he had a bad game? Bama could actually release a guard to block him. Usually that fatass in the middle takes a double team but fortunately Bama has their own fatter-ass that could handle him one-on-one. If tonight is any indication Te'o is not a good player when he is blocked. It is unlikely he will have a very good NFL career.

[Wolffman]

Also, he didn't dominate against Pitt who had an atrocious line and an even more atrocious QB.

[BidsJr]

T'eo has a hitch in his swing. H could not compete on the big stage agianst the top talent. Op you are actually being a homer, I've seen you ridicule Bills players for much less.

[RedEyE]

The entire Irish defense was out of synch last night. Completely uncharacteristic of them. Teo had one bad game all year and turned out to be the biggest of his college career.

How can you FAIRLY judge his career when the bulk of it has been playing the likes of Navy, Air Force, Tulsa, Western Michigan, Purdue, Pitt and Wake Forest every year. I went back and looked at ND schedule the last 4 years. 2012 they played 4 ranked teams during the season. The quality wins were against Stanford and Oklahoma. I cannot count Michigan St and Michigan, because quite honestly, they suck. The previous years they played 2 ranked teams. It would be interesting to see if he had to play Florida, Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M, South Carolina, and Mississippi State every year. (Teams with NFL talent) Every team stacks their schedule with cupcake games, just not most of them. While I would agree that Notre Dame is above average, I would dispute their right to be in this game. Year after Year it is proven that the SEC is by far the best conference. I would think it would be embarrassing to watch these Mid-West schools get rocked every year by the SEC in front of a national audience. I can't say Teo will succeed or fail in the NFL, but you have to admit, after this game, against NFL ready lineman, there have to be some questions.

[Bert102176]

The refs were obviously helping Bama also

it looked like the only thing anyone on ND defense knew how to do was arm tackle, t'eo included, when he was able to step up in the gap he over persued, and fell for a head fake and always whiffed in the backfield

and Urlacher played at the university of New Mexico in the freaking Mountain West and London Fletcher was a D3 football player.

yet i'd say Te'o was a far superior college football LB than either of them; while playing against tougher oponents.

[Tatonka]

im of the mind that the kid had one bad game. **** happens. i've been playing hockey for 20 years and i have had plenty of games when i just didnt have it at all.. weather it was nerves, or being deflated because a team was just kicking our ass right out of the gates or whatever.. i dont think its smart to dismiss a kid because of one bad game.. drew brees threw 5 ints in a game this year.. he single handedly cost his team a game because he played so bad.. does that mean drew brees sucks? does that mean he is not one of the best qbs in the league? i think you have to look at the body of work. i would still take him.

Forget about Teo because we're not picking him at #8, plain and simple.
If you want a LB in the first, think J. Jones.
Or consider other defensive players because thats where the quality is at the top of this year's draft.

I used to think you knew something about football. Now I can see that avatar is your homer calling card.

Te'o didn't just have a bad game, it was like he wasn't even on the field. Teo looked like a Pop Warner kid trying to tackle an NFL RB. He was so outclassed and overmatched I couldn't believe this kid was touted as a Heisman hopeful. This was not one bad night for Te'o, it was a blunt warning that he will a horrendous bust in the NFL. If the guy can't tackle a player on Alabama, what is he going to do in the NFL??? He is too slow and undersized. Te'o will make Aaron Maybin look like an all-pro.
