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

[amblernit]

no green in any white sections. Lots of white in the green.

fair catch at the 2yd line?

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Good time for a Allar run off fake handoff.

 

[GregInPitt]

Too predictable. Keep it Allar on that 1st down!!!

 

[LandoComando]

Stuff like that fair catch could literally cost us this game--just can't have that this late in the season

 

[jbenedict]

Thank You o line

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Good. erases the mistake by Wheatley.

 

[Onionbelly]

ND had it surrounded, if he didn't catch it ND would have inside the 3 . Great punt and coverage.

BS, I've seen way too many college games to know they have trouble downing the ball on a punt even when surrounded.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

More uncalled DPI.

 

[jbenedict]

Run the ball

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Can we target Warren at some point?

 

[LionFan87b]

Reggie Jackson on the Penn State offensive line?!

 

[Onionbelly]

Well we know Wallce won't make a contested catch.

 

[scrivener]

Wallace is cheeks

 

[LandoComando]

No separation again by Wallace

 

[AvgUser]

I though we had a pass-catching TE?

 

[GregInPitt]

There were 3 obvious PI's on ND so far. Not called once...

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Didn't Clark have his left arm wrapped around Harrison?

 

[liquid0623]

How is that not pass interference?

 

[LandoComando]

Too predictable. Keep it Allar on that 1st down!!!

No--you don'twant him playing around with keeping that in the endzone

 

[diontechristmas]

Running game is going pretty well so far. This is a good sign early as it’s gets easier as the D tires. Drew needs to get on track like now!

 

[jbenedict]

It’s a lost art anymore. I see too many players catch balls inside the ten

Lacking IQ

 

[YeOldeCup]

Didn't Clark have his left arm wrapped around Harrison?

Yes. They are wrapping the downfield arm at the waist, then reaching to deflect the pass.

 

[AWS1022]

They’re going to “let them play”, but I bet PSU gets called at least once.

 

[LandoComando]

Guys, did you watch Georgia-ND?
I said all week--this officiating crew calls DPI very rarely and only went the WR clearly has the defender beat
Gray holds on every play
We're not getting calls because our WRs aren't open

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Bad pass on that 3rd Down - Allar's lucky that wasn't picked.... threw it behind him to his back hip.... supposed to throw slant shoulder high in front of receiver.

 

[GregInPitt]

Didn't Clark have his left arm wrapped around Harrison?

And got there early with the other arm.

 

[jbenedict]

Running game is going pretty well so far. This is a good sign early as it’s gets easier as the D tires. Drew needs to get on track like now!

5 stars should always be on track. We say this all the time.

"The refs are going to let them play."

 

[diontechristmas]

How is that not pass interference?

They’re apparently not calling that today. Hope we get the message and abuse their receivers too.

 

[PAgeologist]

If they're going to allow PI, the PSU D better adjust and be physical.

 

[bono47]

They’re going to “let them play”, but I bet PSU gets called at least once.

Let them play until a PSU player does it

 

[Big 0]

Apparently they aren’t calling DPI tonight.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Yes. They are wrapping the downfield arm at the waist, then reaching to deflect the pass.

And uh, isn't that clearly pass interference?

 

[LandoComando]

Bad pass on that 3rd Down - Allar's lucky that wasn't picked.... threw it behind him to his back hip.... supposed to throw slant shoulder high in front of receiver.

This is almost as dumb as the comment that we were in zone against Boise State on the TD when King blew his coverage

 

[SR108]

Receivers need to make some plays, get some freaking separation and catch the ball.

 

[Little J]

Bad pass on that 3rd Down - Allar's lucky that wasn't picked.... threw it behind him to his back hip.... supposed to throw slant shoulder high in front of receiver.

Allar looks nervous. He is not sharp at all. Too robotic.

 

[Onionbelly]

ND playing like OSU, draped all on our receivers. I hate it when they don't call DPI. Have to get Warren involved.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

We aren't going to win this game passing to our wideouts. Tight ends and Singleton. Run Allen. No need to get fancy trying to trick ND. Play to your strengths.

On defense, nice to see Carter at linebacker. Smart move. Minimizes contact and enables Carter to be a bigger factor in the run defense.

 

[LandoComando]

You can't complain about DPI all night--this is how the game is going to be called--bitching about it won't change that. We knew before the game kicked off how it would be called tonight--see ND/UGa

 

[Westcoast24]

Yes. They are wrapping the downfield arm at the waist, then reaching to deflect the pass.

They are letting both teams get away with it so far. PSU had a pass break up on ND third down attempt that was the same way.
