Official CFB Semifinal, PSU - Notre Dame, Orange Bowl, game thread

[Phlebitis]

It's unusual to see a team so gassed on Defense so early in a game. ND's defense is beyond running on fumes.

10 is going to break a big one if they keep pounding on them.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Come on D. Dominate in the last 2 minutes

 

[84lion]

If Penn State can keep this up, Notre Dame defense is gonna be gassed

 

[Big_O]

Allar only around 35% passing. He needs to get it in gear.

Don’t let him throw anymore he is off pound the rock

 

[s1uggo72]

Seems simple enough.

You know sometimes it is.

 

[harjeff]

PSU DOMINATNG line play on both side right now.....keep this up and we goin to the SHIP!!! Long way to go thought, need a stop here before half.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU has 141 rushing yards so far

That is when the RB rotation becomes lethal. Hopefully they can keep it going because ND will make adjustments at the half for sure.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Is it me..say it.

i havent seen this kind of dominance from a Franklin oline ever before? Reminds me of 199X….

I hope PSU can hold on to Trautwein. His O'Line is gelling

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ND's QB is going into the tent after Durant and Thomas tackle him

 

[BiochemPSU]

*** beating

 

[leinbacker]

ND's QB is going into the tent after Durant and Thomas tackle him

An Joe Montana comes off the bench to replace him

 

[Tom McAndrew]

fumble!!!!

ND recovers. PSU came so close to recovering.

 

[Paws057]

An Joe Montana comes off the bench to replace him

Isn’t that the way it always works….

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Abdul Carter was right there, but wasn't able to make the fumble recovery

Took long enough looks like lot of coaches at PSU take a long time to get going lol except Ak

 

[Phlebitis]

And here’s where Patrick Mahomes reincarnates

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ND moving down the field with their backup QB. smh

 

[84lion]

D needs to put a lid on this

 

[Tom McAndrew]

pretty close to a hold by the OL on Carter on that play (no flag)

 

[jp3272]

Abdul was held!!!

 

[Calabrin]

Abdul Carter looks like ****... as long as gets held every snap.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ND has 3rd & 6 ...

PSU calls TO

 

[LionsAndBears]

Great time for a sack.

 

[Relayer]

How does anyone not even mention that hold or show a replay? That was blatant!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ball on the PSU 24 ...

flag

 

[Tom McAndrew]

offsides on DDS

now 3rd & 1

 

[Paws057]

Stupid penalty

 

[FTLPSU]

Angeli is a 2022 3 star from Bergen Catholic

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ND gets the 1st down. Carter was a step away from a sack on the play

 

[Calabrin]

The holding has become so persistent, not only are the refs not going to call it, the broadcasters are now going to pretend it's not happening.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

sack by Carter!!!!

 

[CDLionFL]

#1 why are we playing a soft-*** freakin zone?
#2 how do you not account for the only WR on their team on that 3rd down play? #6 Faison

 

[Calabrin]

Carter had to make that sack while being held by 2 defenders. When you're dragging a guy on your back, that's holding.

 

[84lion]

11 held and still got the sack

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ND to attempt a 41-yard FG ...

the kick is good

10-3, PSU at the half

 

[Phlebitis]

Talk about letting a team hang around.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

This B12 crew is woeful. It shouldn't take an extend committee meeting to make a call.
