I felt that the D-LINE -- almost counter-intutively -- played BETTER than it had in a number of games Mills played in.

Its quickness and mobility NEUTRALIZED Georgia's O-Line's ALLEGED RAW POWER -- much of which DID NOT APPEAR to show up.

I think Golden's scheme was SUPERB, and the D-LINE simply went out and executed. So much so that I had to wonder WHERE WAS THIS KIND OF EDGE PRESSURE ALL SEASON? For it to show up in THIS GAME was remarkable.

Supposedly Georgia’s offensive line out weighed Notre Dame‘s defensive line by about 50 pounds per man.

I thought the defensive line played very well, and I agree with you they seem to have played better against Georgia than they have against most other teams

Let’s hope the trend continues next week ……… and the week after

Can we move the game to Green Bay so we can have this

In fact, the game will be played OUTDOORS, correct? So far, the forecast is for FAIR WEATHER, with the temperature between 60 and 70 degrees F.

For two northern teams, that's OLD-SCHOOL, TEMPERATE BOWL WEATHER.

Here we go again so the disparity in talent between the SEC and every one else is because they win championships , of course the NIL has a lot to do with it or maybe coaching and development over a four year period beats portal princess`s. ND was out weighted on the defensive line by over 30 lbs , but dominated. ND had twice the amount of penalty yards especially that BS illegal motion call
: therefore, zero argument from anyone. Gunner did not play a bad game even though he was constantly running for his life from our defensive ends .
Where are the five stars in the portal ND could use DT`s weighing in at 325 LBS basically space eaters.

I believe it will be something to keep an eye on. Hopefully Cross and Love in particular, their injuries aren't bad and they can heal up for the game.

I'm just as worried about a "hangover" after this game with UGA. We put our heart and soul into this one as it was a big one for the season and this program. We've all seen those next game hangovers from teams (aka NIU!!!!). But, this coaching staff is a different beast compared to prior staff's that ND went through. They'll have to boys ready to go.

This is the ULTIMATE TEST of a good team -- having to play TOUGHER COMPETITION EACH WEEK and having to get up for it.

Is ND the kind of playoff team that can SOLDIER ON or, at some point, does it SIMPLY REACH ITS LIMIT?

This is RAW COMPETITION at its best.

That Notre Dame controlled the entire game against Georgia when Chaseball stated that Georgia had a huge talent advantage, a huge gap in talent over Notre Dame ?

How could Notre Dame have won that game by a score of 23 to 10, and that was with Georgia getting more than a little help from the refs

Chaseball, how did the team with a huge talent gap beat a team with a huge talent advantage ?

Inquiring minds want to know

FAIR QUESTION.

He tried to say it was because of better coaching, development and schemes...

I mean, somehow Kirby won two titles, but now is getting out coached, out player developed and out schemed enough to lose to lowly ND talent. SMH

I thought they called it because Faison went in motion before Evans was fully set, or maybe I'm thinking of another play. There were a hell of a lot of penalties.

That was the same play, and that might be what the official believed when he made the call. But, replays and the "rules expert" confirmed that Evans was set before Faison went into motion.

Kelso86 said:
The issue with Faison's call was that the TE was not set long enough (remember, he had just shifted prior to Faison) before Faison took off to go in motion.

He doesn't have to be set "long enough" as Faison was not in motion until he was set... that is the key. The must be set for 1 second only applies when two or more players are in motion at the same time. The "rules expert" also confirmed this during replay.

Kelso86 said:
You can sub all 11 players before the ball is put in play -- the ball is determined to be "put in play" when the center puts his hands on the ball. If you watch the replay, the long snapper never puts his hands on the ball -- thus, the ball has not been "put in play". That was the key to that play.

Exactly

Again, it was a different game back then, They were primarily an option team, and they played a brutal schedule compared to what ND plays today.

Definitely is but nothing he did can you say he was a better passer or more accurate. They did play 6 teams that were unranked in 1989 and he had 2 tds and 9 ints that year. Not every game was difficult and the ones that weren't ranked he didn't show much in the pass game

I dont want to disparage Tony Rice. He's an absolute legend and ND great. I dont even like this debate

Patrish · Jan 3, 2025

You’d have to be in total denial to think that having fewer days isn’t going to have a negative impact in terms of creating a game plan and in terms of physical recovery from the Georgia game.

Let’s ask the question another way, would you rather have seven days to prepare or eight days to prepareafter playing Georgia,

Especially whenYou have to travel back to South Bend, and then travel to Miami prior to next Thursday’s game

How can you not want an extra day?

He was a 48.5% passer with 11 TDs and 20 Ints in his career

He had a stronger arm and better deep ball no doubt (he also had Rocket) but he wasn't a more accurate passer or a better thrower than RL

Our dline played solid, they played FAR from lights out. Golden had so many well timed run blitzes called and the LBs, and safeties did unreal against the run. Yes the Dline made some huge plays against their awful LT. I'm not saying our front 4 played bad, but to say our front 4 was stuffing them is just untrue.

Other than one run, 34 yards in 28 attempts, and you don’t think the defensive line played lights out

He also played defenses as good as if not better than UGA week in and week out, and they were predominantly an option team.

I would take 5th year Reily in a heartbeat. But I doubt it happens.

Rice had a better arm and was more accurate.

But his main asset was running the ball and the team. I can agree to a point though. I'd like to see the Irish break out the old option play.
I believe Leonard will be an excellent WR or TE in the NFL. Or maybe even an RB.

It's says they are looking to make a decision in early part of 2025. When do they have to declare for the draft? He's a late round pick at this point, might be wise to wait.

I think 7 days after the Final game of the year so maybe Jan 27th around there

I think by the time they make the decision will be too late for him.

Unfortunately, he would be a monster in year 2 Denbrock

This game is for the right to play for the CFB National Championship! There will be nothing to stop the Irish from getting there. Mark my word!
