Officially Official Orange Bowl ND v. PSU Game Thread

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Need to get more yards on first down. That makes all the difference.

 

[PHJIndy]

Irish need to break the ice right here.

 

[FightingIrish44]

I don’t know why the announcer said the officials are going to let the DB’s play or something to that effect. I didn’t see PI at all on any of these passes. Irritating.

 

[wi_hoosier]

Whole world knows they’ll run and can’t stop them

This is concerning me, for sure going after ND's depleted DL.

 

[PHJIndy]

Leonard needs to target someone other than Evans this series.

 

[Golson5]

Offense needs to help the D tonight. Control the ball

McDonough is one of the worst.

 

[banmate6]

Need some dynamism. Cagy so far.

Weird substitution on the 2nd down from the 2 yard line that went for 8. Rubio out, Hinish/young in.

 

[Patrish]

I’m not a big fan of the empty backfield against the defensive front like Penn State

 

[FightingIrish44]

Need a fake snap. PSU’s guys get off the line fast!

Love the speed option!

 

[PHJIndy]

3rd and long again.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Don't call a screen

 

[raulduke_007]

Gotta chip Carter, gotta drill that hurt shoulder.

 

[PHJIndy]

3rd and longer for the Irish. Interception!!!

 

[futuredomer]

Wide open, terrible pass

 

[PHJIndy]

That flips the field!

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Geez Leonard. Ball wasn't even touchable.

 

[BGI User 1596]

PSU defense winning……Leonard showing his mighty arm! Lols

 

[Patrish]

with the front Frontline pressure that Penn State is exerting, I would expect more draws, screens and flares

 

[PHJIndy]

Need to stop 'em, after this commercial.

 

[Get Nasty]

Throw the ball down the field to the outside, it’s not hard their corners aren’t elite

 

[BGI User 1596]

Angeli time!

 

[Golson5]

Why why why. We need to run on first and 2nd now. Create 3rd n manageable. Awful throw. Awful decision

 

[futuredomer]

I have a feeling this might be the game his inability to pass gets us. Yes there's a rush but, damn step up like he did and make the throw which, he can't!

 

[Bogie8870]

Ok gotta roll RL out of the pocket.

 

[Get Nasty]

Angeli time!

No… smarter play calling and decision making… outside is there

 

[Golson5]

Penalties hurt us again

 

[PraiseTheeNotreDame]

Run the ****in god damn ball

 

[BM16]

They need to chip on the edge. Also, run the ball.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Schematic advantage!

 

[NDinNJ]

Wide open, terrible pass

That's been RL's M.O. all season. I've learned to live with it.

 

[PraiseTheeNotreDame]

O line sucks dick tonight

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Man whats worse about that pick is there wasn't even a defensive player underneath.

 

[Harpo Marxist]

Penn State's defense is impressive. They are pressuring RL while locking down receivers. Where is Price? Why are we using Williams so much in the backfield instead?

 

[chaseball]

PSU is basically an A- version/lite version of ND according to the data/regular season performance. But NDs so banged up at this point that they are basically a slight less version of whatever their F+ is.

Because its so close in terms of these team's skill its really anybody's game. This is a big time ND relevant football game against a good team with a lot on the line.

Been a super entertaining postseason and im on the edge of my seat.

 

[PraiseTheeNotreDame]

getting bullied

 

[Patrish]

PSU is running screens

 

[FightingIrish44]

Screens look to be a big part of the PSU gameplan. Smart.

 

[PHJIndy]

3rd and 6 for the Lions.
