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

Just a dumb play. No excuse for that. He was brought in to win these types of games and he loses them all.

Zero catches for zero yards. Not his fault. Stop blaming ANYONE ELSE

They don't have a D1 wide receiver in the room.

He's coached by the best choke artist in the business.

What a wild ride it's been. 11-win regular season. Berth in the CCG. Two do-or-die playoff wins. And now a final-4 matchup against Notre Dame. Still playing football on January 9. This year has been one for the books.

And how great would it be to keep this going for another 11 days with the accompanying buzz and excitement around the program. Counting down the hours til kick!

Another huge disappointment. Not a single signature win. Illinois?

I won't be able to sleep tonight thinking about that last turnover. I just don't understand it. The call, the throw all just horrible. As someone said similar to the end of the Oregon game. Where we just throw it up for no reason.

But I actually do like Allar and hope this game doesn't define him.

Too late. He is defined. So is his head coach.

Good run. We wanted in the playoff. We won twice and took an L late in the semis.

Let's watch again tomorrow night.

Another disappointing season. No big wins. Failed in conference (twice).

If we want to compete at highest level, we need to reclaim mental toughness. It won’t be easy but I would like to see us try.

We’ll never get such an easy draw again. Two MAC-level teams, beat up ND team that frankly is not that good.

But the seeds of this groundhog day were sewn long ago. Not a single serviceable WR on the roster. That should be a dismissible offense.

Well, PSU didn’t win, but it was still a fun football game to watch. Great way to spend the evening.
Sun was always going to rise in the morning, win or lose, at my house. (Probably behind the typical gray clouds.)
Hope everyone here can avoid calling each other names and hurling criticism at kids who were playing a game and giving it their best imperfect efforts.
Great season. Good night to all.

Fun game to watch. But a colossal disappointment and another Underachieving season.

Time to try to reclaim our identity of mental and physical toughness.

It won’t be easy. But it should be quite obvious it won’t be Franklin to get us there.

I hate it when Ohio State kicks our a**, but they’re better than us. What’s more aggravating is losing to what I think is a very mediocre, clearly inferior ND team. It blows.

Well, it was an excellent season and a fun ride to be still in it in mid January. It’s now on to wrestling and fantasy baseball prep. Night all.

Who did we best with a pulse? Illinois? Please don’t tell me Boise or SMU. We had three games of merit in order of difficulty: O$U, Oregon, Notre Dame . Al three were failures. Should have won two of them but at least one would have been acceptable.

Time to give someone else a try.

Perhaps 180 degrees to a discipline and details guy.

Good season. Proud of the team. It didn't end how I would have liked but they over achieved.

Laughable. No way this team overachieved.

 

[manilion]

Stop acting like a retard. We were in the effing semis. Almost won.

An average coach has been sitting at home for weeks.

You’re a below average fan.

James beat zero top teams again. He once again beat average coaches and lost all who are equal or better.

There is no justification for keeping Hagans a single day longer than today.

After a night's sleep I Am more upset with the wideouts than Allar. While I admit i didn't zero in on the wideouts during the game, I did observe that there was little separation from the DBs. Allar did make a huge mistake on his last throw but ND has a good defense, and he knew he had the opportunity to get into FG range and pulled the trigger, when the wideout had zero separation.
Allar had great moments and should be recognized for his excellent play throughout the year.
