IU / ND Game Thread (if there isn't already one...)

It's why we'll eventually get a superleague with just the SEC and Big Ten--some expansion though
Never thought I would see a punter worse than Penn State’s but the IU punter is absolutely horrible.
I think there's only one poster here that believed Indiana was good
Bama doesn’t deserve to be in either. Should only be 8 team playoff.
I will kind of own that as well. I saw nothing from ND that showed me they were a very good team. I expected a fairly close game between two 'meh' teams.
Oregon, Georgia, Penn State, Texas, Ohio State, Tennessee, Notre Dame and ???? (South Carolina or Bama)
Your right. Truth is only one of say 4 or 5 teams really has a chance. The rest is just placating those on the outside.
That's fair--Notre Dame lost to NIU and haven't beat anyone all year. But i think even that's more about you think neither team is actually good
Eh, Indiana run roughshod over everybody they beat minus Michigan.
Moment looks to big for Rourke. Defense just getting run over.
It helped that they avoided basically everyone in the top half of the Big Ten other than Ohio State
Irish seem a half-step faster across the board. IU defense taking a lot of poor angles.
JMU level teams get a lot of good players who don’t quite have the speed to get recruited by Top 10 teams. Transferring to IU didn’t make them faster.

Rourke needs to avoid another redzone mistake. IU really needs a TD.
I don't know why but I'm rooting for Indiana to get properly unmasked. The way they got spanked by Ohio State should have made it clear they weren't a playoff team. Meanwhile, I have to admit I like the look of the Notre Dame D-line.
They are getting creamed on the line. Maybe a screen pass to a back or tight end would work.
Watching IUs playcalling would have made me guess they were a 7-5 team.
I'm rooting for Indiana to win but will be thrilled when the get "properly unmasked" because they're frauds
ND gets the ball to start the second half so Indiana absolutely needs a stop here
The made and now their defense has to get a three & out. As someone mentioned earlier, make Riley Leonard beat you throwing and keep him the pocket.
This sad little play where Notre Dame is snapping from their own 2, and the running back hits the gap and IU linebacker gets caught inside, and the IU safety fails to realize that he is slower than the Notre Dame running back and takes a bad angle, and then he just has to follow the guy down the field for 85 yards.
Hopefully the PSU team/ coaches are watching and seeing what may need adjusted for the cold tomorrow. The receivers have to adjust how they catch. Get the running game going early. The punter needs to seriously stretch and if the punting matches this ND game they may need to alter offensive plans accordingly. The extreme cold is definitely having an affect on this game.

He won 11 games at Indiana, the dude can obviously coach. They’re playing a team with more talent, he didn’t suddenly forget how to coach or he didn’t get lucky 11 times. It’s not always the coach’s fault.
Why the hell did Freeman call a timeout with 11 seconds left if he was kicking a FG?
Clock management shouldn't be this damn difficult--run it down to 3-4 seconds then take the timeout
