Jan 9 | Penn State

[Dale]

Pedo State OC calling a good game. Damn!

It would be 21 - 0 if they lined up and ran up the middle every play

 

[ThePiombino]

Need at least 3 here

 

[calvegas04]

Bull shit it comes down to recruiting. Literally half of our starting defense is hurt

With little depth, recruit better

 

[irishff1014]

ND has to stop playing man. The motion is making ND have to make so many quick adjustments they aren’t even ready to start the play.

Line up in a basic shell and play goddam football

Yup on 4 and 2 no one lines up on their leading receiver.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Somebody on offense has to do something.

 

[oddz313]

Frankly we just signed freeman for a few more years. We know hope this is not the pinnacle and I don't think it is but we have to hit on a defense like this with a running back room and decent WRS with an actual dual threat QB

 

[Gladiator]

I ain't seen one reaction from MF. Looks like ESPN already knows the result of this game. It should be 7-0

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

Yeah it’s going to be important to get points before the half.

 

[greyhammer90]

Have to get something out of this drive. You have 2 minutes. Go get some points.

 

[MacIrish75]

It’s a two possession game.

Have a beer fellas.

 

[irishff1014]

Same play that’s been successfully 4 times and Golden hasn’t done shit. Bowen, Ausberry and Kiser all soft

Ausberry has been terrible tonight.

 

[IAIrish]

Golden has no answer for outside run
Denbrock has no idea where he is.

Surprised golden hasn't adjusted... maybe we're broke

 

[NorthDakota]

It was going to catch up to us at some point. Just too many damn injuries

This ain't all about injuries. Injuries aren't why the back 7 forgot how to tackle and take angles.

That said, go get 3 or 7 here and see what can be done at halftime

 

[tussin]

This game feels like it’s over.

 

[fightingirish595]

I’ve never seen a 10-0 game look so over. It looked over in the middle of that drive.

Line play is going to have to drastically improve and I just don’t know if that’s possible

 

[Mass MoCA]

I love this team but injuries seem to be finally catching up with us. Score here and get the ball and we're back in it but Penn State is much better than I expected.

 

[thekid33]

Between injuries, whatever illness may or may not have hit and an offense that's best play has been the punt it's not a fair fight for our defense at this point.

 

[Henges24]

Yep, need points. Holding on by a thread it feels like.

 

[Ndaccountant]

Somebody on offense has to do something.

Agree. They have to ask a WR to make a big play.

 

[Sea Turtle]

We won the sugar bowl this year and two playoff games. A good step in the right direction.

 

[Giddyup]

Looks like our steroids didn’t make it to the game

 

[Jeffwantpoppers]

Except on fourth down

Just another screen. I should have said crazy to call any non-screen pass

 

[fightingirish595]

This game feels like it’s over.

There’s a million different ways a game can get to 10-0. The way this game has looked, it doesn’t look promising

 

[SDIrishFan]

Time to dominate the middle 8 again. Need two tuddys and flip the script.

 

[Ndaccountant]

Yep, need points. Holding on by a thread it feels like.

It's 10 nothing, but we get ball first. It feels bad, but amazing what one or two key plays can do.

 

[MacIrish75]

Maybe we could petition never to play in Miami ever again…

*checks 2025 schedule*

 

[NDWarrior]

Golden has no answer for outside run
Denbrock has no idea where he is.

I was gonna say, frustrating as hell that Pedo getting out to the perimeter and running right anround our D and bleeding us for gains all over the field. This sucks

 

[IrishinSyria]

We won the sugar bowl this year and two playoff games. A good step in the right direction.

No matter what happens today it's been an amazing year.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

We get the ball back at halftime. I believe.

 

[Terry Jillery]

Score here or put in Buchner
