That’s a good no call. Ball was well under thrown and probably not catchable. The WR put the brakes on creating contact.
Most refs get a boner and think it’s time to make themselves known.
September 25th, 2021 at 12:55 PM ^
If we can run against Wisconsin, we will bury them. QB is meh and their O-line is not the usual Meat Machine we would expect.
September 25th, 2021 at 12:58 PM ^
Yes, but if you can you run on anyone you will probably beat them.

Is the Simpsons going to be on forever?
September 25th, 2021 at 1:02 PM ^
Ha, I was thinking that earlier. It's been on for so long that I think there will be riots if FOX ever decides to pull the plug.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:06 PM ^
Not really - the viewership really plummeted over the first 8 seasons or so and now there is just enough to keep it going. There will be a *massive* uptick in viewing when the final season is announced (most viewing out of nostalgia), but many/most will agree afterwards that is was time to let it go.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:43 PM ^
Something like 35 years
September 25th, 2021 at 1:00 PM ^
Is Norte Dame wearing purple?
September 25th, 2021 at 1:02 PM ^
ND dominating in first downs, plays, and TOP but Wisconsin doing enough with sacks
September 25th, 2021 at 1:03 PM ^
Both of these QBs suck, though Coan has more of an excuse seeing as Wisconsin is in the backfield on every dropback.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:08 PM ^
I would be surprised if Michigan does not crush Wisconsin next week. They look truly awful.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
Umm, I'll be surprised.
Edit: err, I will NOT be surprised if we don't blow out Wisconsin. I WILL be surprised if it's a blowout.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:12 PM ^
You think maybe it's because of the team they're playing?
September 25th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
The team that arguably should have lost to FSU and Toledo?
September 25th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
We will have to be able to pick up their aggressive blitzes on 3rd and long though.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:10 PM ^
Dick move aiming for Mertz knees.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
ND getting a lit if pressure on Mertz. Boys need to practice tip drills because there should be chances
September 25th, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
Right on cue
September 25th, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
Going low at the QBs legs should be an automatic ejection. That was nuts!
September 25th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
Very dirty play
September 25th, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
Mertz is AWFUL.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
He is awful without a doubt, but to be fair his OL is just as awful. They can't pass or run block. Don't NFL capable OL grow on trees in Madison?
September 25th, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
We have looked better than both of these teams (ND/Wisc). Can't wait to prove it next week.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:11 PM ^
Wisc QB is not very good
September 25th, 2021 at 1:14 PM ^
Which one? Notre Dame's Wisc QB or Wisconsin's Wisc QB?
September 25th, 2021 at 1:12 PM ^
This Wisconsin game sucks. Both offenses are terrible and the quarterbacks can't complete simple passes.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
Notre Dame has been doing all right on offense their problem is the offensive line is allowing all kinds of pressure and negative plays which stall drives. They missed on one field goal and hit the other.
They have been moving the ball though at least through the air. I’m not sure if they normally have a potent ground attack but at least so far ND is outplaying Wiscy.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
Wisconsin has been more turnover prone the last three years than I remember them being during the Barry Alvarez and post-Alvarez eras.
Mertz is horrible and this is the kind of game Notre Dame always wins anyway.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
ND QB does not look any better. Did Wisc have two average QB last year?
September 25th, 2021 at 1:26 PM ^
Except for last week against EMU, Mertz has been utter garbage since his 5 TD game to begin last season.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
I so want Wisc to win this game, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. They look horrendous.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
Hope Mertz plays next week. Really looking forward to feasting on him.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:14 PM ^
Some intriguing games. Watching ND/Wisc and peeking in on LSU/MSU and BC/Mizzou.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:17 PM ^
If Wisconsin goes down a TD, I'm not sure they can even come back.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:17 PM ^
Referees to the rescue
gotta keep notre dame alive for the playoff hunt
September 25th, 2021 at 1:28 PM ^
It’s so obvious! WWE style lol. No replay of the pick and that wasn’t even a catch in super slow motion. Pathetic
September 25th, 2021 at 1:17 PM ^
Road games are true tests. Lets everybody see the mental toughness of a program. Beat Rutgers. Then show it off.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:43 PM ^
If Michigan’s running game is legit as it looks. That is the main recipe for big road wins. Lean on that and layer on a sprinkle of throws…you got something cooking for the long haul
September 25th, 2021 at 1:18 PM ^
So, it was only PI because of the interception? Very late flag…
September 25th, 2021 at 1:19 PM ^
Late flag, not much there on the replay either
September 25th, 2021 at 1:18 PM ^
God awful call. Bad officiating is a huge blemish to college football.
I just struggle to not believe its corrupt. It can’t be that inept.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:19 PM ^
Notre Dame's luck will never stop pissing me off. Coan throws probably the easiest pick 6 ever but the Wisconsin defender drops it at the 20 yard line. Now Coan throws another interception but is bailed out by a "penalty."
September 25th, 2021 at 1:19 PM ^
Yuck, This game is crap. If I did not have a rooting interest, I'd be watching something else.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:20 PM ^
Not a catch.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:22 PM ^
But for the fact that it’s ND
September 25th, 2021 at 1:21 PM ^
That's not a catch
September 25th, 2021 at 1:21 PM ^
That's not a catch.
September 25th, 2021 at 1:21 PM ^
Looks like the ball never stops moving.
