@YAscores Ryan
That’s sad news for everyone in the YAIAA. Thanks for covering high school basketball with real passion and class. You always treated athletes and coaches the right way.
Always appreciated our interactions during my time at Dallastown.
Good luck!
@TKendziora37 @YAscores @YorkDispatch Thomas, I always appreciated your professionalism, dedication and commitment to great writing .
You will be missed.
Good luck !!
@chrisfallica@PeteFiutak Almost every college football talking heads forget that A&M scored the winning TD on a 4th and 12 on basically the last play of the game and that ND missed extra point.
ND is clearly a better team than Miami……if you use what the SEC uses all the time. The eye test doesn’t lie!
@timomalleyND How crucial is Notre Dame's special teams unit this season? With an unproven QB, the performance of kicker Noah Burnette and a seemingly inconsistent punter could be the difference between a win and a loss in key early matchups.
@timprister@irishillustratd Should these issues lead to an 0–2 start, the momentum and optimism surrounding Marcus Freeman and the program could quickly fade. Much like last season’s early setback against Northern Illinois, this stretch may become a defining moment for Freeman’s leadership.
@timprister@irishillustratd Additionally, the matchup against Marcel Reed poses another challenge, particularly given his dual-threat capability. If the defense struggles to contain him, it could further expose early vulnerabilities in the system.
@timprister@irishillustratd On the offensive side, I’m equally concerned about CJ Carr’s early tests. Facing Mike Elko’s aggressive and complex defensive schemes could create significant pressure and limit Notre Dame’s ability to generate points in what could turn into a low-scoring contest.
@timprister@irishillustratd The defense may not resemble the structure or effectiveness of Al Golden’s, which raises the risk of Beck exploiting it through the air.
@timprister@irishillustratd I’d like to raise a concern regarding the potential challenges Notre Dame may face at the start of the season. With Chris Ash leading the defense for the first time, there’s uncertainty about how quickly the unit can adapt, especially against a talented quarterback like C. Beck.
@timprister Considering Tommy Rees being forced to call plays within Nick Saban’s “offensive”
How much of what Parker is running at Notre Dame is leftover from Rees (a creative OC) and how much is truly his offense since Freeman doesn’t have his own “offense” right now
