Officially Official Sugar Bowl ND v. UGA Game Thread

[chaseball]

2 turnovers (in redzone that directly lead to points or negated the oppositions points)
special teams touchdown
2 field goals made from kicker whose been missing field goals all year

the luck of the irish couldn't have came at a better time

Charlie Weis/early-era BK had more talent than this 2024 roster.

What ND has is better coaching and player development.

Again, TALENT and PRODUCTION are distinct components to football.

Indiana is a more extreme of this example. They had the 57th ranked 85 man roster in the country, but a top 10 F+ rating. Despite being woefully out-talented they get more out of their players than anybody else in the country.

Notre Dame has a #9 talent ranking, and a #4 F+ rating.

Georgia has the #2 talent ranking, but #7 F+ rating (Kirby Smart isn't having a typically great year)

BS.

Let's revisit after this game.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

And a great kickoff!

 

[christophero]

I said we would win by 2 touchdowns.
Wile E Coyote. Genius.

 

[PHJIndy]

It ain't over yet, but that's a start!

 

[NDinNJ]

A td drive to open the half would be huge

You got your wish although it wasn't the offense, but I'm sure you'll take it. LFG!!!

 

[futuredomer]

Play w/ your hair on fire but, smart...don't give them an inch!

 

[Patrish]

lots of football left let’s not let down our guard

 

[futuredomer]

Time for an X pick

 

[banmate6]

Stay steady. No let up.

STFU with the luck stuff

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Gray stop holding!

 

[futuredomer]

Big play here

 

[chaseball]

BS.

Let's revisit after this game.

Yes trust me i know. Despite being one of the best ND football analyst (amateur too) over the last 10 years, i've earned zero benefit of the doubt along the way and need to write a dissertation on every point i make even with the benefit of hindsight proving me correct in the face of doubters over and over again lol

 

[Hoosierific]

These announcers are clearly rooting for Georgia a holes!

 

[PHJIndy]

I really like the Coach's fire! We never saw that from Brian!

 

[ftnfan62]

Gray was in perfect position. What is wrong with these SEC homers. Where where they when we are getting mauled on that 2nd down pass.

Huge TO there

 

[BGI User 1596]

What’s with the stupid Halloween costumes those Georgia muppets are wearing!

 

[PHJIndy]

The Irish scored 17 points within about a minute! Keep it going!

 

[wi_hoosier]

Gray stop holding!

UGA WR was holding too.

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

I really like the Coach's fire! We never saw that from Brian!

Yep, second half KO would have been fair caught and the offense would have gone run up the middle only and then a desperation pass on third down.

 

[Patrish]

they’re gonna go after Gray

 

[nd4life211]

I hope this isn’t a dream…

Go for the kill Freeman. Do not let up!!!!

 

[wi_hoosier]

These announcers are clearly rooting for Georgia a holes!

I mean, it is on the SEC network.

This ND team as well rounded enough across the board, especially defensively. The O has some elite playmakers in Love & Price. RL is good within his schemes. The OL is a work in progress but I dare say elite in talent.

We revisit later.

Just stop. The refs aren't against us and certainly the announcers aren't against us.

 

[wi_hoosier]

Man a good old fashion jump pass would work huge on UGA

 

[PHJIndy]

RL needs to get rid of the ball a lot quicker.

 

[futuredomer]

Can't have a 3 & out

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Stop with the screens on 3rd down!

 

[Hofman19]

RUN THE BALL...Use clock!

 

[futuredomer]

Terrible series.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Turning into Texas with the lead.

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

The whole point of a screen is to sneak up/surprise the defense. If you keep calling it the D won't be surprised!

 

[futuredomer]

We had the ball less than a minute

 

[Harry Hondo]

If it weren’t for turnovers and special teams play ND would be in major trouble. Georgia must feel cheated being down by 17.

 

[Get Nasty]

How is our staff this dumb…. Run Leonard!!!

 

[futuredomer]

Need a pick from this kid

 

[BGI User 1596]

Defense wins championships!

 

[Golson5]

Run there. Come on
