Jan 20 | National Championship

[Gladiator]

UT looked to get hosed with the calls and no calls in their favor.
That was PI on 2nd down if It was us last night.

My biggest worry. The officiating. If the game Is called fair, we have a chance. If It isn't, we win. Hands down.
Our Irish have a way of overcoming the BS officiating.

What did he say?

Something to the effect of ND will have a tall task in front of them. I’m no Fowler fan but it wasn’t that big of a deal

 

[arndtjc]

No need to try and protect Riley anymore. Open up that playbook and run some option game right at them

Last game of the season, can’t hold anything back!

Yeah that’s very fair, we are way worse than Ohio State on paper.

 

[NDPhilly]

Yeah the line has the biggest disconnect from underlying metrics I’ve ever seen. Seems to be overly pricing in injuries + vibes.

Yes, especially since we outgained PSU And won by three, Which was essentially How all of the above metrics had it pegged - as a 2-3 pt ND win.

So considering we had that performance with all those injuries, you wouldn’t think that there’d be a massive disconnect like this. Just can’t make sense of it

"IrishEnvy what a stupid name for a site. Oh my God look at that! There's a mod online on a Friday night. IrishLax? What a loser! Bet he played lacrosse because his mom wouldn't let his dad let him play football."

It was really weird. I personally thought it was out of bounds.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Do we play in home jerseys as the higher ranked seed?

Heard Trump while reading this 😂

 

[Southside Sully]

Show the Ryan Day video whining about Lou Holtz over and over in the building.

 

[calvegas04]

Black jerseys

 

[greyhammer90]

Black jerseys

Genius. They won't be able to distinguish between us and the dye in Ryan Day's beard.

What did he say?

Something about a tall task, something else and then a 10 man joke

 

[NDPhilly]

Notre Dame was only -7 against Indiana….at home!!!

Feel like I’m going nuts lmao.

To get from 2 to 10, you’re probably adding 2 - 3 on OSU being better than underlyings, 3 - 4 on ND injuries. Even then yeah 10 is a lot

[fightingirish595]

The D can keep them under 30. How we will score will be interesting. Our O line health will be paramount

We should be considered the home team.
Gives OSU the coin toss choice. We really need our D on first agin. They all call heads, so tails It Is this game.

Feel like we will need to hold them to 17 or less

 

[NDpendent]

For the first time in decades I'm not scared of anyone.

 

[irishu]

Take us home, Marcus

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

Spread coupled with total implies OSU 28, ND 18.

We’ll need to score to win, even if we hold them to their team total under. Mike Denbrock needs to be in his bag.

 

[Terry Jillery]

Whatever crew is reffing the national championship needs to pay attention to how many holds Ohio State got away with tonight

 

[T-Boone]

Did OSU play any particularly noted running QBs through the season?

 

[NormND_44]

Oddly feel better about this than PSU. Day has allllll the pressure

 

[Gladiator]

Scarlett and ugly grey?

It's called red and 1990 Dodge Daytona ugly grey.
OSU has a way of trying to always make their ugly seem good.

Scarlett? WTF.

We really need to beat this red and grey team.

 

[bkess8]

Play Day jumping into Sawyers arms on rerun. Can lose to that smug prick!

 

[Gladiator]

Feel like we will need to hold them to 17 or less

I call 30-24 ND wins.
We have all the power of the team as an under dog..
Limitless

 

[Dale]

Jeremiah Smith vs Texas, Michigan, PSU and IU:

3, 35, 55 and 34 yards


I’m pretty flummoxed where the perception he puts up 150 and 2 tuddies weekly comes from, aside from First Take type folks

We can’t score with them. No need to get fancy trying to keep their pace - that’s exactly what they want. Drag them through the mud and shit and get violent. They’ll pretend they’re up for it, but that's not how they want to play. We can win that game.

This is correct. The route to win is a 24-20 slugfest. RTDB, shorten the game, limit OSU possessions.
