Penn State - Notre Dame thread

What a completely horrible PI call. QB throws a floater into triple coverage and a CB makes very minimal contact on the receiver who would not have been able to make the catch and gifts PSU a TD. Horrible call in that situation.

I hate the call, but the CB just needs to turn around and at least have an eye on the ball, and that's probably not called.
 
Stupid risk that Franklin took. Likelihood of going 45+ yards in 44 seconds against NDs defense was very small. That deep in your own territory you play for OT. Run the ball, most likely pick up a first down, run the clock out and try to win in OT. Maybe that's why his recorded against top 10 is so abysmal - takes too many ill-advised risks.

Contact in the PI looked pretty minimal but the defender wasn't tracking the ball. More often than not the refs will throw the flag there.
True. But the CB that supposedly made contact didn't make much contact and not enough to keep the receiver from catching a ball that was well under thrown. As it turns out, Irish gonna win anyway.

Just looked if Ohio St wins they are a 7.5 point favorite against Notre Dame if Texas wins they are 2.5 point favorite. DraftKings
 
Franklin is a terrible coach and despicable human being. Penn St the football program is rotten to the core as well. Very happy for coach Freeman and the whole ND football team. They may not win the NC but the people who continue to criticize them really need to stop. They’re a tremendous team.

Flicking passes off his back foot got the PSU QB in trouble. Almost two INTs in the 4th quarter but for the ref’s PI call.

GBB!

This. Fine w the PI if the ball makes it back to that receiver. But when the pick is by a different DB 2 yards in front of the drifting away receiver…the flag shouldn’t had been thrown
 
Gotta love Freeman’s response to the canned “1st black CFB coach Natty game” question. All about the team.

Polar opposite response from Franklins pregame interviews openly stating that’s his goal and “hopefully this team can get me there”

I've had to correct fools on here for years that get mad at Stoops for not being aggressive inside our own 10-yard line late in the 2nd quarter.

I'm sure they were initially playing for OT but once they got the 10-yard run on 1st down they decided to try a couple passes. I didn't HATE the call. Allar's not a turnover prone QB and a turnover is the only thing that beats you in that situation. Two decent completions and you're nearing FG range and have 3 timeouts to use. He just made a terrible decision.
