Poor play calling on this series.

 

[PHJIndy]

3rd and long! And out!

 

[futuredomer]

They've blocked well on 1 run and that's it!

 

[FightingIrish44]

You’re risking the ball when doing that crap 5 yards behind the line. Good screen call on third down. Bummer that it was tipped.

Leonard is playing pretty darn well. Two tipped passes and a drop.

 

[ftnfan62]

Seen that series a few times after a big stop.

We just implode

Denbrock getting cute. What a waste of a series…three scores and they fold.

 

[HDK]

Love needs to shelf the leaping until he's actually in the clear. Great way to get hurt.

 

[Irish_inPSU]

What in THE F was that? What a wasted series.

 

[ftnfan62]

Feels like the D needs a score here to get this moving again.

 

[banmate6]

Denbrock getting cute.

Yup.

Needs to stick with basic runs and some play action.

 

[PHJIndy]

First punt.

Love needs to shelf the leaping until he's actually in the clear. Great way to get hurt.

Well, you certainly can't do it sideways w/ 4 defenders within 1 yard.

 

[ftnfan62]

I guess IU adjusted so MD needs to as well now

lol what? ND has been dominating they've outscored opponents by 30 points on average since NIU

 

[christophero]

So far so good. Just got home.

 

[ftnfan62]

Close to having that ball punched out. I think he is looking for the home run now. Need to hit the hole given. He missed it on the inside on first down.

 

[PHJIndy]

IU defensive pursuit was much better that series.

 

[FightingIrish44]

They’re coming back to that hitch/fade concept.

 

[StCecelia40]

OK Love isn't hurt. YET. Enough we the Skeets Nehemiah shit, We need him to stay healthy.

 

[PHJIndy]

3rd and long! Time for a turnover!

 

[futuredomer]

Terrible blitzing all game! Running right into blockers and not even getting close!

 

[PHJIndy]

Oh no! No PI there! They called holding and not much of that either.

 

[GDFan]

The non holding calls are insane!

 

[BGI User 1596]

Terrible blitzing all game!

yep

 

[FightingIrish44]

Somewhat of a ticky tack call. DB’s look good.

 

[ftnfan62]

We cannot get pressure in this QB

 

[Irish_inPSU]

That dumb offensive series is exactly how you leave the door open for them to make this a game. I know this is a playoff game... but we should either be going to the locker room with a 14-0 lead or putting more points on the board... nope, instead, we're getting walked down the field and indiana is going to get points

 

[PHJIndy]

Rourke is gettin' rid of the ball quickly on most passes.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Nice tackling

 

[PHJIndy]

Hold 'em to 3!

 

[PHJIndy]

3rd and long again.

 

[FightingIrish44]

How many times are they going to show Rourke’s eyes for F sake? Seriously. 4th and 4 is aggressive here but not crazy. Perhaps kicking a FG in this weather is a concern.

 

[ftnfan62]

Hold them!!!! They his is a huge decision and play.

 

[BGI User 1596]

We cannot get pressure in this QB

Ohio State had no problem.

 

[ftnfan62]

This is an Extra point for all but ND’s kicking game. I don’t think anything outside of the 10 yard line for us is makable

 

[PHJIndy]

Sack time!

 

[PHJIndy]

Brice Young time!

 

[FightingIrish44]

It’s hard to be mad about 3-6 points given up in one half. The offense has a great opportunity here.

 

[ftnfan62]

We are dead if this game comes down to FG’s
