Dec 29 | College Football Playoff Semifinal | Clemson

[Circa]

A lot of Notre Dame fans have their heads so far up their asses that they honestly think that Notre Dame is somehow hated by ESPN or the national media and it's such horse shit. If ESPN could choose, the playoff every year would be Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Texas.

How long? HOW long have you waited for this opportunity? It Is silly to ask on my part but salt Isn't needed.

That fumble ND recovered is 100% the turning point. Jeez.

No. It was one of many turning points. Receiver drops, Book forgetting how to quarterback, and most of all -- atrocious playcalling has been the lion's share of turning points.

This isn’t about better team, this has been every fluke pos play you can dream up going their way

If every fluke play went our way we'd only be down by 6-10 points. Stop it. Clemson is clearly better than us. We're completely overmatched. We gave up a touchdown in 48 seconds like the 2007 Patriots were running over the Little Giants.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Dabo Sweeney basically said this game is over and the second half is basically practice for Clemson to clean things up for the championship game.

It's not over! It's not OVER! We have another half. I've watched worse situations come clean.

Name one that happened on the football field for ND...

Face it Kelly will never get us to the big game. Time to be a realistic fan and realize there is a reason why ND is hated nowadays and its not because we are some championship winning team, its because we always lay a big egg in big games.

 

[ickythump1225]

Maybe PJ is the guy, because Book is 100% not ready for primetime.

 

[irishtrooper]

I couldn’t have been more wrong about this game. Completely unprepared and unable to adjust. Book looks like crap and this is a disaster.

Unfortunately this result will stick for years and this is the worst possible result. Hopefully we can close the gap enough to make it look respectable, but we look like Pitt right now.

 

[Luckylucci]

Well that’s just too damn bad. Over before half. In games like this best players need to step up and we just didn’t get that.

 

[Irish2155]

Loosing Love has been huge.

Came out flat with two fumbles, false start and a dropped pass for a first down. WTF?

Miles Boykins has to make one of those 2 50/50 balls...but he didn't. Must still be feeling his way into the game...loser.

My $.02 - this stage is way too big for Notre Dame, sadly and unfortunate.

 

[irishff1014]

Just not our game

It’s called want too. Mack dropped a ball like he always does. Claypool 2 drops, terrible effort book on his fumble. Offensive play calling is not that good. The o line is getting owned.

There is no way they can erase this score. The game is over and unfortunately we don’t belong here.

Kelly literally did get us to the big game

5 stars beat 3 and 4 stars. College football is simple. Recruit elite, play elite. We recruit very good and play very good.

Yep.

 

[Irishize]

Vaughn is bad at football

That was actually good D on the TD grab. Just unlucky bounce. But I agree...there’s a reason he doesn’t start.

Completely disagree,... if the ball stays in bounds and they don’t get three pretty flukey tds we are winning,... they did NOT dominate us by three scores, the ball just bounced that way. Sell your bulkshit elsewhere. I’m not saying we are the better team, just that every bounce went their way rather oddly.

 

[Luckylucci]

D came out with a purpose and offense never delivered shit. They were going to score and we just needed some answers onnoffense. Never got em’

 

[GATTACA!]

Idk what you people want Vaugn to do on that TD. He played that about as well as you could, good positioning and got his hand up and knocked it away. WR just got lucky and made an unbelievable play.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Speed is an issue our fastest WR’s are sitting on the sidelines

 

[ThePiombino]

D came out with a purpose and offense never delivered shit.

This is it in a nutshell

Crazy how every close call went against us.

If your team requires every close call to go their way....they deserve what they get when the calls don’t go their way.

 

[Hammer Of The Gods]

Is there a way to lie you’re way through the cucussion protocol? Like, how your head fell? ‘Fine’ do you feel weird? ‘No’ like how do you get sat out for concussion protocol?

 

[MNIrishman]

The only obstacles are Clemson's steroids and Clemson's referees. Would be really nice if we could play a fair game for once. Just once is all I ask.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

It’s not Kelly’s fault. He’s in a drag race with a Ford Focus. This feels like a fulcrum where the administration needs to make a decision about what we’re going to be.

Off the top of my head... None recent but the UCLA game in 07 was great Jeff Samardzija, and there have been others....

 

[Celtic Saint]

Disappointing. Tigers have kicked them right in the bawbag ... rubbish...

 

[North Buffalo Irish]

I still can't believe that last TD before half. 16-3 is definitely still a game, and even 19-3 is imaginable. This is a wrap now. I feel like crap. I hate sports. I hate football. I hate this team.

 

[phgreek]

This is insane...ND could and should be in this game but for terrible execution on offense...the defense is now gassed and mentally and physically beat up. And third down playcalling is chickenshit.

 

[Bluto]

Idk what you people want Vaugn to Doon that TD. He played that about as well as you could, good positioning and got his hand up and knocked it away. WR just got lucky and made an unbelievable play.

He could have played through the end of the play a bit more aggressively but that was a great catch.

 

[Irishize]

What sucks is that ND is going to get whipped worse than a lot of bad ACC teams did.

Not sure why Lea went away from the blitz.

 

[ickythump1225]

We'll never get back in to the playoffs if it remains at 4 teams. Why would anyone in their right mind put us back in?
