Freeman needs to find that resolution...and at least have the players on hand play their A game.
I'm expecting him to do that in the locker room.
No choice...throw caution to the wind on a fine season.

Penn State has shown a lot of creativity on both sides of the ball.
Halftime adjustments:
Defense:
-Get the numbers right. Some of the PSU rushing yards are because the run is going where are there fewer defenders. Adjust and go hat for hat.
-Read n react quicker. The game is more mental than it is physical. Identify your alighnememt, responsibility, react and use technique. Plays are there to be made. Gray should have tackled Warren on that screen and Bowen needs to hit those gaps.
Offense:
-OL you simply need to block better. Do that and our offense will be fine. WRs have made the best of their few opportunities.
Special Teams:
-Keep doing what you're doing.
We only down by 7. It's not like we're getting killed. Now let's go!

Ball was on the 23. Takes a while to get down there and they know you’re passing. They’d be playing prevent and you can’t throw underneath. I don’t see the point in risking it. Just take the 3 and make it a one score game.
I'm sitting in the damn airport watching this. Flights delayed. Got my ND gear on 😂
He doesn’t have that internal clock or feel in the pocket. If we don’t get the ground game going, we don’t stand a chance.
There's a faction of the fan base that thinks NDs talent/athletes/skill players are studs on level of high BIG10 & SEC lol
Offense: Carter should be in the tent because he has taken repeated shots to his injured shoulder on every snap. Denbrock refusal to chip him is pretty damn frustrating. Still 10-3 we get the ball and score a td the whole game swings.
Defense. Golden got spooked on 1st screen pass and has only brought pressure up the middle. Gotta start blitzing off the edge and start playing down hill. Dline gotta suck it up getting push around.
I would agree but we look like a physically and mentally spent team. Not emotional or physical like usual.
Unbelievably disappointed in our coaching staff
The game plan on both sides was completely moronic
It’s like they didn’t even watch film. You can’t do slow developing run plays vs Penn state d
And on defense, everything is counters and sweeps all year, sure up the plan

And you think you know football you punk a$$ b!tch
I love Leonard’s heart and toughness but it’s hard to think Angeli doesn’t give us the best chance right now
Ok, you're back to insanity mode.
You're off your rocker...ND is injured and sick.
And still only 7 points out, getting the ball to start the 2nd half.
This game isn't over. But basic change has to happen. Keep Angeli in on the first possession. Even if ND gets a field goal...the defense gets a blow...and the offense adjusts to Angeli even more. We only need one more point on offense. Hopefully the O line will step up and dig in. That is the ball game.
I care about Notre Dame boss. We wouldn't be in this game without RL. He's in the ND history books for his season this year. I want to win. That argument is over
The biggest problem is the DL and OL are getting killed.
MORON ALERT. ND's LINES ARE DECIMATED WITH INJURIES.
How would they know when was the last time we attempted to stretch the field. Let's see how SA does?🍀
Let's hope so. And let's hope the OL blocks for him and the DL doesn't get destroyed in the 2nd half
If Leonard plays from behind in the second half....another pick, or fumble, will happen. PSU has a defender glued to him on every down....they are unafraid of his arm.
……says the resident HS Debate JV Team star.
BTW, you do recall that ND beat Georgia last week, right? Or, are you simply stupid?
Which is it?
Denbrock needs to dial up quick plays. Tell Angeli to get the ball out quick. Slants, out in the flat, throws.
No....PSU game planned Leonard very well. They built it around him...not Love. That is so obvious.
Man it feels good to be only down 10-3 at this point in the game. This will be a game for the ages if ND wins.
Bullshit. The score alone disagrees with you. We are getting killed in the trenches.
