Epic Stand at the 1

[Jebediah Springfield]

"Epic" gets thrown around a lot nowadays but out of all the stands this year, this one was the best.

Win the trenches and you win the game.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

That's the kind of stand a championship team makes.

 

[dshans]

A thing of beauty.

 

[rtrn2glory]

protect that end zone like manti said...boy did they ever.

 

[ickythump1225]

That goalline stand...I'll remember it the rest of my life. That's the stuff of legend.

 

[texbender]

will go down in irish lore...D has been there all year.

"Epic" works when it sends you to the national championship game.

I think the stand against Stanford was better. I mean the FB dropped the ball. A seasoned QB would have made that pass easy.

 

[eNDzone]

They have got me believing they can stop any team with a 1st down on the 1.

I still believe we would have ran out the clock after we got the ball back regardless, but in 20 years people won't remember the drop. People will remember the stand.

When even Dshans is short on words, it has to be good.

I agree we would have run out the clock. Both great stands!

 

[mriguy]

Nix is a beast on the goaline!!! What a great stand and team effort!

 

[Junkhead]

After the revolving door defense of the Weis years, this is different, but fun to watch. Big Lou is the man, going to be tough to replace!

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Joee]

Fitness shows in the fourth quarter.

 

[TCramer]

This is the greatest day of my life, and I hope in 45 days I'll be saying the same thing.

 

[irishmarine]

Wipes the memory of te bush push away....

 

[Walter White]

Best defense in the land! The whole unit showed championship toughness.

 

[GreatGolson]

Wipes the memory of te bush push away....

The what?

 

[Emcee77]

This defense in the red zone ... I don't know if I've ever seen one like it. Just rock solid. I have supreme confidence on our defense right up to the ONE INCH line.

 

[EifertPower]

I'll always remember that stand and I really love it because it also shows how disorganized USC is and how bad of a coach Kiffin is

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Couldn't contain myself when we stopped them. I was running around the house screaming.

 

[IrishEyesAreSmiling]

i cried after this game! life changing!

 

[Fbolt]

Beautiful series of plays. Epic is appropriate. They'll be showing that pre-game NCG.

Lol same here...

My girlfriend poked her head out of the bedroom and asked me if I was, "****ing insane"

Epic. Thank you to Russell for the two pass interference calls before USC decided to try and pound it in. In previous years I think our guys would have let Lee catch the ball, or we would have whiffed on the coverage. He made the right call, and it saved the drive.

Wipes the memory of te bush push away....

Not for la k of trying. Redd did try to push Wittik in. I screamed "he tried a Bush push!!" In the middle of the sports bar. Kelly was screaming at the officials about it.

 

[Seanthornton]

They will be talking about this long after we are dead and gone !!! What a Beat down at the line !!
