That's exactly what Joe would have done. But then again Joe was all about winning.
Clifford is not the answer. I've seen a couple of QB's playing at P5 teams that were transfers from other programs, and all of them are more accurate than Clifford. Franklin tried to recruit the kid out of Pittsburgh that is tearing it up at BC. Why didn't Franklin try and get him when he left ND?? It sure isn't that there are better QB's on his current roster.
Oh, wouldn't want to upset team chemistry and morale. Let's see how he can keep team chemistry and morale together if MD wins today....
Franklin needs to figure out that it is about winning. Period.
Team is really, really missing Journey Brown. No home run threat at RB. Of course, the team is also really, really missing an OL and DL.
Levis should enter, any other safety than Wade should enter. Shake it up. What you got to lose???????
This announcer is perfect for this game. Brutal
I've watched him as best as the TV angle allows and his first step on every snap is backward. He's constantly on the retreat. By doing so, he has no chance to go into attack mode until the receiver he's supposed to be picking up in the zone has already come out of his break and in most cases, already has the ball. His reaction time and reading-the-play skills are about as weak as I've ever seen out of a first-string SENIOR safety.
So we run 28 inside and then run 24 outside. Seems like opposite strategy to what you might expect
We can’t even run a play after the kickoff without everyone standing around and looking to the sideline! Pathetic!
Glad see we cleaned things up this week after the OSU game.

On to the 2nd quarter. Here come the adjustments.
Like "gun" to the head??
The similarities between this and the early 2000s teams is striking. Very mediocre quarterback play. Poor offensive line blocking. No real stand out talent compared with other big 10 teams. Zero energy to start games.
It is time to pull clifford for the season. He is an unmitigated disaster.
Clifford has missed them when he has all day as well as when he is under pressure. He just missed a wide open Freiermuth who had beaten his man, overthrowing him by at least 5 yards when he had a clean pocket and could step right into his throw. He's pretty consistent on his throws today.
And when you are behind 2 TD's after the first quarter why is Clifford throwing a looper way down the field with enough hang time where half of the defense could get to the targeted WR by the time the ball lands....?
Recruiting is important, but so is player development and Franklin and company are doing a horrible job on one.
Neither line appears remotely good. I was looking at the player introductions on OL thinking we finally have a good group of experienced players...... That sack made them look like a bunch of freshman who never saw a twist in their life.
How long do you leave Clifford out there? Do you allow the season to go down the tubes and with it the program? Is “loyalty” that important or do we “Compete in Everything?” We will find out in the next hour.
Didn’t someone compare this team to the dark years teams and get blasted? They were 100% on the money.
Does the OC have any easy plays to get the QB confidence back? this is terrible
