Freeman shatters BK glass ceiling

And the only reason things like this even exist is because of toxic BK-hating ND fans. Otherwise it wouldn't be a talking point. ND's totally pathological, deeply toxic, deeply disturbing, almost institutional antipathy, and fear and loathing for the all-time winning coach in ND history, is the only reason anybody would ever make such a comment. Otherwise it wouldn't come up. Obviously MF is going to be more of a player's coach than MF, and that BK was more of the detached CEO coach. What's the big story here? And it's hard to think of a young coach walking into a more auspicious situation let's say, than MF and what BK left for him, and what BK had built. And unless there's something deeply wrong with you, there'd be no impulse to try and somehow steal the credit away from BK, without whom NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING, in every possible respect. And very openly, very shamelessly, at this point with almost childlike ingenuousness do what you can to tear his legacy apart, and now you even got ex-BK players getting in on the act.

But that's what fans like you have wrought, and fostered in the greater ND Nation. It truly is a sickness, and it's not going anywhere. It has become institutionalized, quite literally, in the ND football and cultural universe. At this point it's become endemic.
Someone forgot to take their meds again.

Apparently Isaac Rochell, a former player under Kelly, sees a difference between then and now:

Lets talk PSU

ND has to make Allar uncomfortable.....and keep him there. ND gave up long passes against GA...some caught, some not. PSU will try to duplicate that. The penalty on Kiser concerned me because he was isolated on a receiver who got past the secondary. I don't want ND to get into a pick you poison scenario...where our defense gives up the middle to Warren in order to defend against their wideouts getting past the secondary. Getting pressure on Allar is key on several levels.
Agree, Kiser was on their te.. Kiser has to play over the top or watts can’t leave the middle. I gotta believe they’ll have safety giving special attention to Warren over top then man up on wrs. Evans is a fast psu wr but he isn’t a good route runner, just can’t let him beat you deep.

I do think we were somewhat fortunate to catch Georgia without their QB and in a somewhat down year for them. They did win the SEC but seem more inconsistent than their recent dominant teams. Still a great victory on a big stage. We really took it to them from the start.

I thought their QB played better than their actual starter. Also, he had from half time of the SEC Championship12/7 to 1/3 to get prepared. Almost a full month of preparation.

Respect for Marcus Freeman

They certainly made the schedule more manageable for Kelly after that debacle.

Not really IMO. Schedules are made years in advance. You also don’t do home/homes with the likes of UGA, UTx, Michigan and OSU while trying to soften your schedule. Clemson /FSU were sprinkled in as a part time member of the ACC. Our schedule problem was more of a result of teams that normally are better being not so good anymore (USC etc)

I think this is a very fair and accurate assessment of this game. I full expect their tight end to get his catches, but we have to limit his production. Several Teams did that this year and none of them, outside of Ohio State has as good of a defense as we do.

Penn State worries me to be honest as like you said, if we can't get to Allar and knock him around, its going to be a struggle. I will argue that Penn State's offense, right now, is better than Georgia and Allar is better than Stockton.

Their offense doesn't strike me as a physical bunch so it'll be interesting to see how well they hold up against a relentless rush. But we have to get home on blitzes.

Our offense... well... we better play A LOT better than we did against UGA...
