So Notre Dame is it.

Workman like win. It's the playoffs and Big Game James team has won two .... I did not understand all the long ball throws. I guess Andy thought he had something there but 1-5 is not high percentage. When they went back to run that was the difference maker. Way too many penalties on the right side of the OLine.

For me, Georgia didn't look like Georgia in that last game. They absolutely shot themselves in the foot. If we can just avoid those stupid turnovers, penalties and some awful decisions, I like our chances. The 9 days of rest compared to 7 for Notre Dame should be helpful, too.

If we're being honest, it's really not fair that Notre Dame is here with a loss to Northern Illinois and no championship game, but it is what it is. You have to think Allar can challenge their defense a lot more than Stockton or Rourke. If that doesn't work, we can certainly pound the rock with SIngleton and Allen, which will open up other plays. Do they have anyone that can stop Tyler Warren? Idk, that's a big ask of them too.

It's an old school matchup. I like our chances and this could amazingly lead to a rematch with OSU in the Championship game.

 

[Retroram52]

I totally agree, Maverick!!

 

[Sportster 72]

Go Nittany Lions!!

 

[TheSnowdog]

Let’s go!

Dominant first half for us, but only a 10-3 lead. Keep pounding the rock and controlling the game. Their offensive and defensive lines can't handle us. That one field goal for us should've been a touchdown, but otherwise, it's looking pretty solid. Also, Abdul Carter still looks very effective, even with an injured shoulder.

If Leonard returns, we're ready for him, and if he doesn't, I can't imagine Notre Dame's backup has the stones to beat us.

Nice First Half. No major mistakes and decent control of the ball.

Nice First Half. No major mistakes and decent control of the ball.

Notre Dame was very fortunate to recover that fumble late in the half too, or they'd still have zero points. Carter had his hands on that ball first, but lost it in the scrum.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, Maverick, our O-line and D-line are manhandling Notre Dame's lines and if the Lions keep this up, they will be headed to the Championship game.

 

[Maverick426h]

Looks like Leonard will return, so we'll be ready for him. Keep getting physical with them offensively and defensively. We can absolutely wear them out.

 

[Retroram52]

Got to get going, coming out of the Half here.

 

[Retroram52]

Need a defensive stop to squelch the momentum that ND is seeking.

 

[Retroram52]

That is exactly what I was afraid of. Lions D giving-up the big pass play!

 

[Retroram52]

Now they are just hammering the PSU D.

 

[Retroram52]

Hold them to a FG and that will be a decent outcome at this point.

 

[Retroram52]

Nope. They couldn't do it.

 

[Retroram52]

Tie game. Now the Lions need to regain the MO on Offense.

 

[TheSnowdog]

welp I didn’t like the way the first half ended
Gave ND momentum
And that momentum continues for ND at start of second half
Looks like they made good adjustments while Penn Stare are resting on their first half

 

[Retroram52]

Second Offensive series after the half. We need a good drive right here.
