Game Thread: CFP Semifinal: Notre Dame vs Clemson 4pm ET ESPN

[Wunder.Noid]

Is ND looking to prove once again they didn't belong? The second half should be interesting.

This is proof that 8 teams is too many. Just saying everyone calls for more teams but this is why they are wrong.

Yeah but one team playing bad is leading to a lot of bitching about their team being there too.

 

[Kaplony]

This should be Ohio State or Georgia vs Clemson change my mind.

Lmao. I've seen enough.

I much rather saw UCF in this spot. Even without McKinzie. What a waste.

It wouldn't matter, it would be about the same at this point.

 

[Chewbaccer]

That is my only problem with all of this - - - some years it's "best teams" and other years it's "most deserving".

That's why I call it an "Invitational" rather than a playoff. They can invite whomever they please and justify it however they please.

Had we decided to actually show up against LSU, I'd be pissed if we got left out, but we didn't, and it is what it is.

We cant even get competitive games at 4 teams.

 

[jjc2009]

That one is on Tillery

Yeah.

 

[Pariah]

Well at least we know OU won't be the only team getting embarrassed tonight.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Losing Love just too much to overcome.

It’s way more than that. Having no time and no space to run, combine that with too many mistakes and a poorly coached team. This turned from a 9-3 game to this game is over quick

I would love to know how the Notre Dame catch where he caught in, took a step, then switched direction before it was stripped was not a catch, but that one was. I think this one was more defensible than the Notre Dame call, but there is some serious inconsistency there.

 

[Chewbaccer]

ND better run this kickoff back or this game is over.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Notre Dame cannot move the ball an inch on this defense

Blame the backup defensive back for the loss

makes sense

 

[WizardHawk]

Game over. Good season ND. Maybe next year.

Definitely wouldn't sleep on UGA.

 

[romeo212000]

Just goes to show the blue hairs can harp all they want on defense and defense is important but unless you have an offense that can score points you got no chance.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Well at least we know OU won't be the only team getting embarrassed tonight.

Yall won't get embarrassed. Might lose, but hard to imagine an offense like that getting blown out.

 

[MizzouFalcon]

At this point Notre Dame’s only hope is to #MeToo Dabo so that he’s not allowed to coach the second half.

Or just accuse Brian Kelly instead that way he’s not allowed to coach.

 

[jjc2009]

Here is where recruiting matters. ND is at its ceiling. They’re a good team but not on the level of the Alabamas and Clemsons of the world.

He's a shut down corner. It's causing us to double team the outside or single cover with a guy who isn't as good as those WR's.

But we've had too many mistakes too on offense.

Just atrocious playcalls in important spots and Book isn't executing.

Welcome ND fans. I'm drinking Crooked Tree IPA 7%.
