Football Notre Dame defeats Penn State 27-24 in CFP Semifinals

Allar is not a guy who will lift a team
On the Int he could have run for yards and gotten out of bounds
I hope he moves on, ready to see what Grunk has
The next guy is always better. NOT!

But coach should be in Allar's head not to force the ball in our own end of the field. Same thing with McSorley vs USC.

Is it bad QBs?
Is it bad luck?

The common denominator is Franklin.
 
That's it in a nutshell.
First half we were kicking them all over the field.
Everyone saw it including all the announcers.

Second half we fold up on defense in the 3rd. Totally flatfooted.

then we can't hold a lead.

Team does not have the desire to win.
I don’t agree they win 13 games this year. QB played a lousy game.
 
It's not just that we lose. It's that we find ways to lose winnable games.

Franklin loses big games like that player who's always injured: some are caused by stupidity, some by lack of preparation, a lot just by bad luck. Or he's like Tarkenton, good but for whatever reason could never win the big one.

Most of the team had the right attitude. It was our QB who started to believe the goddamn news that he was a top five QB in this draft. I think it got into his head.

Well, my crow remains safely in the freezer for yet another year.

Ended as expected. We can't even win the Big Game when we are bigger, stronger, and faster.

What does that say? It says we totally FLUNK at the mental parts of the game. That failure starts at the top. It isn't going to change until someone admits that it has to change.
 
Disappointing end to the season. If you told me half way through the season that this team made it to the CFP semi's with this WR Corps, I would have been ecstatic. How can PSU not have a single WR that can get separation against a P4 team? If I'm JF, I fire the WR coach tonight and give the pink slip to the whole unit.

Miracle we made it as far as we did with our wide receivers. MAC level.

The WR coach needs to be fired tomorrow. We had better WR play in Joe’s 3 yards and a cloud of dust years. The entire year they had problems getting separation. Where the F was Evans today. He barely seem to be even on the field.
 
bigger issue I have with Franklin right now is why haven’t we gotten ONE decent WR on this team? That IS on him for not being able to get a game changer and it cost him. I’m not going to pretend like I know what goes into coaching a playoff game and who makes what decisions to pin on a coach but I did see a QB that was way over his head in a big game and WR’s that were invisible.
 
Throwing the ball over the middle when you can’t get anyone open all night at that spot on the. field was just plain stupid

Our Qb thrown crappy passes all night and somehow it is our receivers again. Announces said he had open guys. Stage just too big for him. He freaks out someway and messes up.
