Game is fun to watch. St Joes shot themselves in the foot the first half. Phil is just a stud!

What was Pine-Richland ranked nationally before the game?

They just handled the country’s #8 squad in a 6A state championship game. That’s impressive.

Even more impressive is following the narrative... Phil has basically been willing his team to success against good teams. ND might finally be getting a guy with all the physical tools AND the mental game on lock AND the testicular fortitude to tie it all up without getting shook.

Really? I think with the right coaching phil could end up being a very good college QB and the best QB to come out of ND in a long time. Who do u think is better?

Really? Your take away from his post (and assumed pondering, even for a brief moment, on your prior post) is that he merely thinks there are better QB's from ND in the past 20 years?

Irisfan, that was my thoughts. I sure don’t like how our qbs under Brian k really have regressed.

Heck, Brandon’s mechanics got worse during the year and he’s a flipping junior. Great job BK

Hope Phil can overcome BKs coaching. Or lack there of.

You mean the same guy who had Tommy Rees for Lord's sakes throwing for 37 hunda yards and took a 5th string QB Tony Pike to a BCS game?

Pine-Richland caps historic season with PIAA championship win against St. Joseph's Prep | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“I think this has to one of the best teams, if not the best, ever from the WPIAL,” said Pine-Richland coach Eric Kasperowicz. “What these kids did on offense and then throw in the defense … But that’s for you [media] guys to decide. I know we have the best quarterback in the country, hands down.

“We didn’t change anything in the second half. They got tired and we didn’t,” said Andrew Kristofic, a two-way lineman for Pine-Richland. “But that’s how we play. We wear teams down. We were tougher than them.”

Where this team belongs among the best in WPIAL history certainly is a matter of debate. But it shouldn’t be forgotten any time soon.

“I can’t really compare us to those great teams because I didn’t see them,” said Jurkovec. “I know others had great players. I just hope we’re remembered for years because of what we did this year.”

And how would Jurkovec like to be remembered?

“As a winner, a champion,” said Jurkvoec.

I read an hours worth of Twitter / WPIAL message boards / PA Newspaper sites this morning and half believe Phil is the best they've EVER seen. That includes Montana, Marino, Pryor and RP2.

Can you imagine if Beano would've lived to see 5 Star Phil and RP3 on the same ND roster???

“I’m not being a Grinch or wishing my alma matter ill but a credible source has just told me that:

PHIL JURKOVEC IS CONSIDERING DE-COMMITTING BECAUSE OF ND’s QB COACH

Honestly, I don’t need to bash Kelly anymore but his mediocre coaching and complete lack of developing QB’s for the next level is killing us.”

Quite sure someone on this planet would have a phone that’s working that could post such significant info.

I call BS. Too many people on this site have inside contacts and this would be HUGE information. Besides, Phil has been extremely vocal about ND and does not come across to be fake in his comments like Barnett.

We’ve been doing this for years now.

NOTHING should surprise anyone when it comes to recruiting.

These are teenagers we are talking about.

Whatever happens, happens... and the joke’s

on you if you find yourself surprised.

Would love for Phil to rise to the challenge of being ND’s next great, but that’s up to him.

I respect whatever works best for him.

Bill Norberg is the guy who started "bang bang Notre Dame gang" back in the Darby/Shephard/Greenbery era. He's more of a creep/troll than anyone who knows anything. It would truly shock me if he was correct, but I don't follow recruiting nearly as closely as I used to.
