Go ahead...search away. It wouldn't be hard, my name is on here. You can even come to SLC and we can talk about it if you feel that strongly about it.


You are shitting on an entire fan base for THE EXACT SAME THING . Did you have a close mentor in the church?

This is American sports' Catholic Church moment

Amid all of the tragic child sex-abuse scandals, there's a chance to learn from them

Are you accusing ND specifically?

 

[NDty9]

Idk what you two are trying to do here but knock it the fuck off !! This is the Notre Dame v Penn st Semi final , thread …… WE ARE FUCKING PUMPED FOR OUR TEAM AND THIS OPPORTUNITY, so take a hike with that shit !!!

Are you accusing ND specifically?

Just give him a thumbs down and dont feed the troll. He got a long history of being scum

 

[Gladiator]

You tube is bizzaro world. No one thinks they have a chance against Penn St. What am I missing?

It's all about the algorithm. If you watch ESPN, and the Big Ten on you tube or don't watch at all, that's what you'll get.

It's good for us, we need to have everyone thinking PSU will crush us. Playing the underdog all season long.

 

[Gladiator]

Any word on Watts’s injury? Who will Golden use to cover their TE, Warren?

Several vipers.

Probably best we stay on topic…the game.

 

[Terry Jillery]

They took cheap shots on Boise’s best players. I wouldn’t expect any different against us.

#33 was the worst. I think that's their best guy on D too. He isn't listed as injured but I would expect a limited role from him.
BSU got him back, and rightfully so. He's a scum bag.

Are you accusing ND specifically?

No, but there are about 18 acknowledged sexual predators who were in SB's diocese. I don't accuse the university of anything, but I also don't assume the university couldn't have been involved. I simply don't know.

I'm pointing out the ironic hypocrisy in a dipshit fan of a proudly catholic university going in hard on a university that covered up for one monster. It's gross and fuck that guy.

Hey! There's an idea. He can call me a troll all he wants, but I'm not the one who brought up raping teenage boys. He is.

 

[Fbolt]

"...going in hard..."

 

[NEIIrish]

Fuck Penn State. We beat these pussies by 14.

Agreed. My pick is by 14

I get it. But it is the low hanging fruit. Must anticipate someone bringing it up. Didn’t know he called you out specifically. I’ll have to go back and look.

Go Irish

I don’t want to get too cocky but their OL had a very difficult time picking the blitz last week. If they struggled against Boise, ND is going to rip Ailars heart right out of his chest. As I said, I don’t want to get overly cocky but our defensive plans seems sorta simple. Their receivers do not get separation (See UGA/TAMU) so we’ll play man and shadow Warren with Kiser and Watts/Schuler while stacking the box. Carter is going to play but what does that mean? Is he 50%, 85%??? And lastly you can’t put a statistic on speed. Maybe some nerd created an analytic on it but ND is right there on the top when it comes to team speed.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Careful boys. We sound like a SEC team. They’re a good team and anything can happen in a game. Just win.

This... Irish just need to stick to what they have been doing last few games, play smart, and let D do their job and let LR run Denbrock s game plan

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Sounds like Carter will at least give it a go, but there's no doubt his left arm is compromised. Imo, need to run duo on his side and let Knapp drive block him early a few times to test him.

Dbl team and run right at him at the edge. Lfg

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

I made the same position group comparison in the GA game thread by position group. Had ND + in all but special teams and DL. Some disagreed here, others agreed.

Boy, was I wrong on ST. They out scored GA’s O.

And, ND ran it on GA to kill the clock to close the game while our DL had heat all night. The other GA+ I had.

Haven’t look at PSU yet…

While we don’t have an individual like Carter or 320 lb DTs we were able to apply pressure through scheme and play and it’s been executed so well during the playoffs. We are undersized on the DL but the pressure 46% of the time certainly contributes to success at stopping the run.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

My impression is PSU does not have the edge speed ND possesses on their D.

You’d be right in that assessment.

 

[Irishokie]

Franklin will want to make the final score look better than it actually is. State Penn scores late. 38-14 Irish

[Te'o4Heisman]

PSU is better than all 3 (the versions we played), I’ll say significantly better than A&M

Werent you the one banging the drum about not being able to answer who would do what against someone elses schedule because its hypothetical? Yet somehow youre able to definitely say a team is better than 3 other teams they havent played.

Interesting take.,

 

[GATTACA!]

This has less to do with us and more to do with them. I think they've looked like shit most of the season and have been dreaming of getting a chance to give them a ticket back to reality.

Could we end up losing? Of course. But I feel about 1000x more confident in our chances than I did going into the Georgia game.

They are a better team than Georgia...of that I have no doubt

Based on what? Their best wins are….

Boise State, SMU, Illinois??

Georgia beat Texas twice, Clemson, and Tennessee

This. Penn State isn’t Army but they aren’t Georgia. The game isn’t played on paper it’s played on grass, when you look at the body of work this year I am not impressed with anything from this PSU team outside of a handful of very good players. Kirby Smart looked lost on that ST play, his team was worn out and beat up on our final drive and this defense that had 3 Top 13 picks had 1 TFL. And better yet, PSUs best defensive player isn’t going to be 100%. I kept hearing about Starks and Dan Jackson leading into our game and I barely heard their names called. The best part of PSUs resume is two good losses. People fall in love with numbers and how well the stats depict them but Golden will have Ailar on spin cycle come the 3rd Quarter. I think ND wins 24-10

 

[Free Manera]

Penn State is more well-rounded than Georgia. But there is not a single coach in the football world that would rather play playoff Kirby than shithead Franklin. They are worlds apart and that matters in games like this where the talent is evenly matched.

PSU was the underdog twice this year and they were beat easily both times.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Just woke up. Had a dream we were up 30-0.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I'll eat crow happily but I think most of you guys are out of your mind with big win predictions. Penn State has weapons and has a helluva defense. This will be another battle of wills and J. Love will get 10 snaps at best. Hopefully Marty, Mike and Al can create some magic.
