Penn St is a good football team. It will be another Georgia like game and could go either way. I don't think it will be 30-0, lol. If ND keeps playing its brand of football, they will find a way to win this one. I think a 1 score game is upcoming.
Can't speak for anyone else, but I still think they are a paper tiger. I didnt watch a ton of CFB this year, but watched PSU second to ND because they were right in front of us and was pulling for them to lose. Saw them against USC, OSU, Oregon, Minn, Playoffs, etc, and they never looked elite at all. Some college players look like men, Allar still looks like an undeveloped underclassman. The team is obviously talented but they never seem to be a complete package, even for a college team. I dont think they are any better than Indiana, and after our past 2 games some crazy bad luck would have to happen for us to lose IMO. Anything can happen of course. They lost to the only 2 great teams they played and they squeaked by minn and USC.
I think they’re good and a notch above than what they used be, but they aren’t some elite team. They were very fortunate to score SMU and Boise in the playoffs. What a freaking joke …
I’ll tell myself this just to be level headed about it but I also was not impressed or overly worried by them through the year and I certainly felt we should have been ranked ahead of them at the end of the year. I think we win and comfortably even if that means we get up early and stay ahead like we have been doing all year including the last two playoff games.
I asked a question about what he thought and you said it was an unanswerable question because it was based in a hypothetical. That is no different than you sitting here saying one team is definitely better than another team (that was actually ranked higher than them), but never played each other. Not s stark difference at all other than you being hypocritical. I have no beef with you at all, just think its interesting how the goal posts get moved..
Exactly. I think if we get home on Allar they are in for a long night.
Bryce should've gotten a roughing call, but to me it was a make-up for their BS Gray call a few plays earlier. 29 was looking back for the ball.
ND by 21
Penn State was good at getting to Jeanty early, but he still broke something like 16 tackles. Penn State is actually one of the worst tackling teams in the country. Stick with the run, block better than Boise State, and make enough plays through the air that the cannot sit in single high coverage all game -- they play more single high coverage than just about anyone not named Notre Dame.
Agreed. I told my wife that IF that is what they are going to call as pass interference, then they need to be consistent. Of course, they weren't ... especially one against Thomas on a pass route. Oh well, the Irish prevailed and that is what counts.
I thought all of this before Rylie Mills and J. Love got hurt (and way before Cross aggravated something). We're already have freshman all over the starting and reserve units, I just don't know how much more we can handle.
If we assign a LB to cover him, it's probably 4 - Jaiden Ausberry (despite height limitations, he can run with anyone). But that isn't Golden's 'modus operandi'. He's going to disguise coverages and shade players over/under to disguise. I have no doubt Golden will have a strong gameplan created. Sometimes great players make great plays and Warren will certainly get his targets/touches.
Nobody is a freshman anymore at this point in the season. Love hurts and we will definitely need him if were going to win 2 more games, but Price is elite as well. Any team with Price and A. Williams as their RB duo should be very happy.
I think it will be coverage by committee but I like Ausberry or Adon. Both physical freaks in their own ways.
