Just look at all of @BigOrangeTrain recent posts!! He uses the word "conjecture " in several of his posts. Its not a word you hear very often. And yes, its my opinion, just like the majority of the posts on this forum. Just saying he uses the word quite a bit. Guess I should have used blue font!!

To be fair, he was a starter because of injury and then was relegated to being a rotational guy buried on the depth chart later in the season, based on the article linked above. Transferring because ND returns all their starters and have a ton of depth.

The path to the field is a lot clearer here. Wish that wasn’t the case but apparently asking Elerbe to develop a recruited lineman is asking too much.

The article I read said he beat out 2 seniors in fall camp for the starting job

Not sure. Just basing what I said off of this from 247

Pendleton started Notre Dame's first seven games of the season at left guard but lost his spot once Billy Schrauth returned from an ankle injury and switched to the left side to keep Rocco Spindler in the lineup.

The 6-foot-4, 310-pound lineman still saw action in a reserve role over the next six games of the season, backing up Schrauth and Spindler. That includes playing 34 snaps in the second half of Notre Dame's 27-17 victory over Indiana in the first round of the playoffs.

I’ve never looked at all of anyone’s recent posts and can’t imagine why you would. Also can’t imagine why you’d comment on a sports forum about another poster’s vocabulary? Do you have any comments on sports which is what folks come to this forum to discuss?

Pendleton started Notre Dame’s Week 1 win over Texas A&M, earning the left guard role in a surprising fall camp development. He won the job over two seniors in Pat Coogan and Rocco Spindler, who had both started double-digit games in 2023.

“The type of toughness and lead by example, physicality, kind of that aura that you want surrounding your offensive line, I think [Pendleton] embodies that very well,” Irish offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock said at the time. “And [he] kind of helps bring that to the other guys on the line, if you will, along with those other two guys that are out playing on the inside.”

The three-star prospect out of Pfafftown (N.C.) Reagan had played just 15 snaps in 2023, but he impressed in preseason practices and the Irish gave him a shot on the big stage. He held his own in College Station, Texas, making the key block on junior running back Jadarian Price‘s 47-yard touchdown run.

However, a season-ending knee injury to junior center Ashton Craig and a several-week ankle injury to junior guard Billy Schrauth forced Coogan and Spindler into the lineup by Week 4. Both of them played the best football of their career. When Schrauth returned in Week 9 at Navy, Coogan remained at center and Spindler remained at right guard, where Schrauth had previously played. Schrauth moved over to left guard.

Pendleton, after starting the season’s first seven games, went back to the bench.

According to Pro Football Focus, Pendleton received above-average grades of 63.2 overall, 64.0 as a run blocker and 65.9 as a pass blocker this season. He allowed 6 quarterback pressures, including just 4 in the games he started. However, PFF agreed with Notre Dame’s coaching staff that Coogan and Spindler had played better, with grades in the 70s.

Still phenomenal to make an impact on a playoff team as redshirt-freshman. He's gonna be really good.

You must be one of those posters who thrives on making up arguments for no reason. And actually I post a lot about Tennessee, to be specific. Just look around instead of looking for something to complain about!! We all get off topic every now and then in case you haven't noticed!! And if you don't like it, skip over my post. And I dont think I mentioned your name in my post nor was I talking to you. I'm not the one to get on here and ruin a forum with 10 pages of going back and forth about something that doesn't matter. So go whine somewhere else and don't worry about what I post!!!

Ironic that both Pat Coogan and Rocco Spindler just hit the transfer portal themselves
