Officially Official CFB Playoff 1st Round (Corn & Soybeans Bowl) ND v. IU Game Thread

[FightingIrish44]

Bowen held there. F that if they score here.

 

[ftnfan62]

Another hold. Call those.

 

[FightingIrish44]

Bowen baby!

 

[PHJIndy]

3rd and ten! This is a big stop!

Another hold. Call those.

They never call it

It’s 20-3 right now. That’s sort of close to a blowout. I’d take a one point win anyway.

Not even close to a blowout. A blowout right now would be 35-3.

 

[PHJIndy]

Got 'em! IU may go for it though. It's getting late for 'em.
Oh my, Brice Young is down now!

 

[Fightingirish595]

ND is playing as bad as IU, we just have better talent. Really disappointed, shouldn't have less than 30 points right now!!

Yeah unfortunately I don’t think this is our offense playing bad. I think this is IUs defense actually being good and winning the line of scrimmage against an O line we all knew was young and inconsistent

That’s why I qualified my post with “sort of close”. I didn’t claim it was a blowout. It’s a three score game. That’s not close.

IMO, the scoreboard's readin' good right now!

They’re going 100%.

 

[mva5580]

What the hell was that call.

 

[sjb75]

Why would you punt?

 

[PHJIndy]

They’re going 100%.

Yeah, down 3 scores with just over 10 minutes left.

 

[ftnfan62]

We needed that FG bad. Let’s go take off 5

 

[HDK]

I've been saying for some time that our inconsistent kicking game, the lack of a dynamic passing attack, and attrition on defense were the three things I was most worried about, and we are seeing elements of all three tonight.

 

[FightingIrish44]

They’re going 100%.

@PHJIndy I stand corrected. Horrible call to punt that.

 

[PHJIndy]

Wow, they kicked the freakin' ball! Down 3 scores in the 4th quarter and IU punted!

 

[PHJIndy]

Don't get conservative and think the game is over though. Still gotta play ball!

 

[futuredomer]

It's just too much to ask and almost an impossible thought they can win 4 games.

 

[ftnfan62]

That was big

 

[banmate6]

Ok to be critical, but gotta look at the silver lining.

ND is up 3 scores late. D is excellent. No overconfidence if they win this...maybe needed vs Georgia.

Marcus has evolved. Denbrock and RL need to step it up.

 

[FightingIrish44]

Faison showing out after the drop.

 

[PHJIndy]

Run clock run!

 

[BGI User 1596]

Zero misdirection…Indiana flying to the ball

 

[PHJIndy]

Need to convert this 3rd down!

 

[ftnfan62]

Riley with a back breaker

 

[PHJIndy]

First down run for Leonard!

 

[PHJIndy]

Keep it movin'!

 

[PHJIndy]

Connection to the one!

 

[FightingIrish44]

Great play. I don’t know why you even throw unless you’re giving Georgia something to think about which may be the case. Great execution though! ☘️

 

[mva5580]

Very nice to win the first (12 team) CFP game. Georgia is a big, big game. If they win that, they can win it all.

 

[PHJIndy]

Need to punch this one in!

 

[ftnfan62]

This is it boys. Stuff this in and turn out the lights the party is over. Get your starters out

 

[PHJIndy]

4:54 to go to get to playin' Georgia!

 

[BGI User 1596]

Why would you punt?

White towel!

 

[PHJIndy]

BTW, I'm thankful for Big 12 officials. It nice to not have to play against the other's teams officials for a change!

 

[PHJIndy]

There you go! I believe that TD play would have worked all night!

 

[banmate6]

Ok. TD by RL.

This is a good start. Like we all said: solid.

ND is advancing and knows what it has to do vs Georgia.

Overconfidence won't be a problem...which is a silver lining for not blowing out Indiana.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Cignetti needs to google…..Indiana sucks!
