Well we persevered an awful first half, got some luck, and survived shitty play calling all game on both sides.

Just waiting on the boo birds to chime in how bad we looked, and how great pOSU looked. F()CK'em all. A WIN IS A WIN and UNDEFEATED IS UNDEFEATED.

12-0 bitches. Playoff bound. My hot take was correct!

I predicted a double digit win season and I was not wrong. Never thought they'd actually get to 12-0.

I'm definitely less confident about a potential Clemson matchup in the playoffs after tonight, but who cares!

Yesh... ‘anything can fuvkin happen’ is really my only hope in the playoffs because honestly I can’t muster a football IQ, head to head, argument against Bama and co where our beloved boys come out on top.

12-0 Hell yeah

This was not a good game for us. But like you all say we got the "W".

Chip long you better be better in the coming weeks.

Nice Game for Dex.

And most of the defense.

Good Job Kelly for putting this staff together to complete this task.

I’ll add, it’s imperative we don’t get stomped out... we can be Clemson and lose close and build,... or lose big and stay UW level, good but no real threat. If they don’t win the natty, make it a fight.

What was wrong with Chip Long? I thought it was pretty good playcalling and poor execution by Book.

12-0 Playoffs... Only thing that matters. Even if we lose by two scores in 5 weeks, I'll take a playoff berth anytime... Love this team... Get healthy and Kelly needs to game plan something good for Clemson

Happy we won. We went 12-0 and we are playoff bound. That being said we gotta play better in the playoffs or it will be a humiliating end to a good season.

Seriously. I think Chip Long deserves the game ball.

when you don't call plays to the strength of your O, you're going to struggle with execution. We know very well what Book does well, and what the OL can handle. We can't be surprised when Long calls something he doesn't do well, and the play fails. It's happened time after time this year when Long goes against what works.

12-0, which is very much deserved. We mostly look the part. I swear if I hear any of you talk about some asscream one-loss team jumping us I'm going to ban you from the internet.

Go Irish!

We are 12-0.

So in the finals CFP rankings are we still #3 assuming Bama and Clemson win, or we sliding down to #4 position based on how the other teams are playing.

Not to be an apologist, but the extreme travel we have had the past month combined with playing Navy which always takes a physically toll I think finally caught up with us. Looking forward to having a healthy Tranquil and an overall less banged up team against Clemson.

12-0 WOW!! What a great, fun season. Time for the playoffs. And after I saw how South Carolina's offense performed against Clemson tonight, I feel good about our chances.

12-0 twice. Brian Kelly is a pretty good coach. Maybe not a full statue but he deserves a plaque or something. Lol.

He can have a brick in the concourse walkway for now,.........

I don't think the facts of this game support that. Book missed a wide open Finke for what would have been a walk in touchdown. Book at one point missed 7 straight passes on some pretty easy routes. I am not knocking Book. He played well and really showed heart tonight. But knocking Long seems crazy to me after the last few games. After being really suspect at times earlier in the year, he has been phenomenal down the stretch.
