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

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Coach AK needs to adjust to the game at hand:

1. Officials are "letting them play," which means our wide receivers are nothing but decoys.
2. Allar is a bit off. Give him easier throws. Short passes to the tight ends. Win with size.
3. Don't give up on the running game. Use #44 on the ground. We can push them around. We lose on the ankle tackle stuff.

This is Big Game James! Just like vs OSU.

How was that Franklin’ fault? Poor pass by Drew. Would have been a touchdown.

 

[Nostraduzzi]

Blind hate--when idiots say he's been awful all year they have no clue

Nobody is saying that. Put the bong down, it’ll still be there after the game.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Wow, Leonard really is a tough runner,.

 

[heckmans]

QBs miss throws--yes, bad throw--this board acts like Drew's has to hit every throw. Singleton still has to catch that.

Yes. Players make physical errors. The biggest issue was the crappy play calls before we got bailed out by the DB hold

 

[GSPMax]

He threw it slightly behind him--bad throw--catchable
Why is everyone attacking Drew not Nick?

Obviously because Allar made a piss poor throw.

Take your own advice

LOL..... Now you are going Pee Wee on us.... "I know you, but what am I?".....

 

[LandoComando]

Yes. Players make physical errors. The biggest issue was the crappy play calls before we got bailed out by the DB hold

Agreed--he can't make that mistake--that's not the majority of the complaining though

 

[mcpat]

Wheatley having a game

 

[GSPMax]

Wheatly very quick. He is a good one.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Come on Allar. Step up and show that you're an elite QB!!!

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

He didn't actually get that snap off.... fortunately made no difference.

 

[PAgeologist]

Actually give Allar a hit. He needs to calm down.

 

[LandoComando]

Durant's been quietly great so far

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Notre Dame is averaging 2.5 yards per carry on 11 carries so far. Leonard has five carries for seven yards.

 

[mcpat]

Let’s not fair catch it at the 1

 

[Onionbelly]

Allar just needs to calm down and we got this.

 

[PAgeologist]

He didn't actually get that snap off.... fortunately made no difference.

No shit. There's some things they can't let play. That's one of them.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Call a QB run or run a 2min offense. Get Allar going.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

No shit. There's some things they can't let play. That's one of them.

That wasn't really that close either.

 

[LandoComando]

Call a QB run or run a 2min offense. Get Allar going.

Have a designed throw to Warren on a pick play underneath--not a screen but a timing throw--if he misses that then just run lol

 

[SR108]

Notre Dame is averaging 2.5 yards per carry on 11 carries so far. Leonard has five carries for seven yards.

Yes, but we need to get a bigger lead and force them to have to throw the ball. Drew needs to settle down.

 

[Crusher1950]

Psu is the better team easy to see but will they win? That’s the question

 

[diontechristmas]

Notre Dame is afraid to throw the ball downfield. Unfortunately we are also incapable of doing so at present. But it’s not because of their pass rush which is good news.

 

[AvgUser]

Allar sucks tonight

 

[LandoComando]

Drew's footwork failed him on the Singleton miss there

 

[m.knox]

Again............... And that one was a winner...

 

[jbenedict]

Allar is killing us

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

JFC. That's 3 wide open throws that he's missed badly.

 

[scrivener]

Drew is just crushing us

 

[Onionbelly]

Wow, worst game I have seen from him so far.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Thats a hard pass to catch off your hip. certainly not high percentage.

Was below his hip... more like knee/thigh level - watch replay (also thrown BEHIND Singleton), Singleton had to reach back across his body and reach way down.... very awkward when you're running forward, expecting ball head-height and in front of you

 

[PAgeologist]

WTF Drew. Another piss poor pass.

 

[AvgUser]

Those are awesome stats. 4-`12 passing. WTF.

 

[YeOldeCup]

JEEBUS DREW!!!

 

[ryoder1]

Keep running the ball!!

 

[diontechristmas]

Another crap throw by Drew. He’s literally choking this game away.

 

[Jerry]

Drew missed another throw. He's not on his game so far tonight.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Another overthrown wide-open receiver... that probably scores with a good throw.
