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

[HDK]

I'm nervous...where the heck is Love?

 

[PHJIndy]

First run for Leonard. Close!

 

[ftnfan62]

Not gonna run that in against that front

 

[PHJIndy]

I don't understand why the Irish are running wide!

 

[ftnfan62]

Great call

 

[PHJIndy]

TD Irish! Nice drive!

 

[futuredomer]

So Love runs 98 yards and doesn't touch the ball on a 13 play drive??? We scored but, it just makes no sense.

 

[FightingIrish44]

What a play and throw from Leonard. Love probably just needed a breather. We have the guys to do work without him.

Saving his legs.

Been like that all year. Rotation is just odd.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Nice touch by RL on that TD.

 

[futuredomer]

11 carries a game??? Ridiculous!

 

[PHJIndy]

Gotta keep going, no letdown!

 

[StCecelia40]

J Love hasn't been in for three series. Not good. But we are playing great

 

[Quest4Twelve]

No FG's only TD's tonight!

Damn right

 

[raulduke_007]

Step on their throats

 

[banmate6]

Can’t read too much into not using Love after TD. I like to think Denbrock is preserving him. Versatile attack.

Doesn't make it right and I love JP but, JL might be the most dangerous player ND has had since Rocket! Give him the damn ball!🍀

 

[Irish_inPSU]

That was a gorgeous drive.. i mean perfection. drive the length of the field, grind on them and take time off the clock, then punch it in. Good stuff right there.

Let's hope that's the case. Pretty sure McCullough has a predetermined series for them

I think he might be hurt.

I mean he was untouched and didn’t seem bothered after the play. Another fair catch at the 6.

Run D just gives up too many gash plays

Swiss cheese run d

 

[futuredomer]

Swiss cheese run d

I don't understand it?

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

IU calling a run play on 3rd and 10 only speaks to their lack of confidence.

 

[ftnfan62]

How about the hold on that 2nd down

 

[Patrish]

So far, I think the defense looks very good.

Now we need to go up by three scores

 

[PHJIndy]

Another short punt for IU!

 

[FightingIrish44]

That was good scheme by ND I think. Suckered them into that call though the RT should’ve picked up Sneed.

 

[banmate6]

Let’s see if Love gets in . If not I’ll start worrying. He’s had enough of a breather.

 

[BGI User 1596]

How about the hold on that 2nd down

Refs couldn’t see his white arm wrapped around the blue jersey!

 

[ftnfan62]

Let’s go Mike D. Keep it going. Let’s get this to 21 at the half

 

[PHJIndy]

Need another drive here!

 

[chaseball]

win probability up to 92% games going to be over before the end of the first half

 

[PHJIndy]

Let’s go Mike D. Keep it going. Let’s get this to 21 at the half

or more!

 

[ftnfan62]

Nice pass

Would love to see the backups in for some meaningful snaps.

 

[PHJIndy]

BTW. I really like the uniforms!

 

[PHJIndy]

It seems teams just hate to run to the wide side.
