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

[LandoComando]

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

We have the worst fan base--not a single throw was "off" so far or "robotic"

 

[YeOldeCup]

And uh, isn't that clearly pass interference?

Yep - that is their strategy and PSU has to create separation.

 

[mcpat]

Umm facemask? WTH refs?

 

[m.knox]

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.

He was lucky.

 

[LandoComando]

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.

Again, we knew this coming in
I don't understand why people weren't aware of this

 

[diontechristmas]

Carter is such a freakin stud.

 

[Onionbelly]

I really feel we should win this game. Don't prove me wrong.

 

[LandoComando]

Great D--first mistake

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Very good defense so far tonight.

Now if we could just clean up the calls on offense.

 

[1AA]

Carter is a game changer!

 

[diontechristmas]

Yes! He’s hearing footsteps already

 

[Phil's Rug]

Wheatley with the pick!!

 

[m.knox]

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

Let's hope he loosens up. The screen was beautiful

We're the better team--comes down to if any of our WRs can beat man
If not, we have to run run run

Gets like that all the time

 

[PAgeologist]

It looks like there are 5 carter's out there. He's everywhere.

And a hell of a pick by Wheatley.

Make them pay.

 

[LandoComando]

Yes! He’s hearing footsteps already

ND's worst nightmare because Love isn't healthy

 

[GSPMax]

Very good defense so far tonight.

Now if we could just clean up the calls on offense.

Defense wins championships.

And BTW: the fair catch inside the 5 meant squat.

 

[SR108]

Need to capitalize, no screw ball plays.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

If Penn State continues to get pressure like they are, it's going to be a long night for Leonard.

 

[ryoder1]

First turnover to us! Take advantage!

 

[LandoComando]

Gets like that all the time

You're all delusional
Allar hasn't shown any nerves yet
I honestly can't believe how dumb half this board is sometimes
See Leonard's pick--that's nerves because he's feeling the heat

 

[diontechristmas]

Rattle the crap out of Leonard. He’s a big dude but he did not want to stand in that pocket.

Let’s do something offense!

 

[ryoder1]

Run first, run first, run first!!!!

 

[liquid0623]

If Penn State continues to get pressure like they are, it's going to be a long night for Leonard.

Just hope that Carter can play the whole game!

 

[m.knox]

Need to capitalize, no screw ball plays.

Unless it's a screwball play that works....... lol...

 

[Crusher1950]

Love it

 

[Onionbelly]

Defense and Carter wins championships.

 

[m.knox]

Run first, run first, run first!!!!

As long as it keeps working.

 

[PAgeologist]

Let's hope he loosens up. The screen was beautiful

He needs some easy swing passes or screens. Gets him in a passing rhythm.

 

[GSPMax]

Just hope that Carter can play the whole game!

If the offense does their job, he will.

Agree, Dre’s fine, we need someone to get open.

 

[mcpat]

Allar is off. Time to get on

 

[LandoComando]

Another screen

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

"The refs are going to let them play."

I didn't think the last one was bad as Allar basically "threw him covered" by throwing ball behind him and low to his back hip (i.e., defender didn't have to go through player to get to ball... and defender got his hand on it early). But the first two were unquestionably and blatant DPI with contact way before ball arrived.

 

[m.knox]

He needs some easy swing passes or screens. Gets him in a passing rhythm.

Two high passes this series. Needs to take a breath.

 

[Onionbelly]

Allar needs to settle down.

 

[Phil's Rug]

Warren bulldozing lol

 

[mcpat]

Come on Drew

 

[Onionbelly]

That should have been 2nd down play.
