yeah, obviously he doesn't follow Iowa football....I was scratching my head at that comment as well...

Why go to a place where you're equal with the players?
He can go to the college playoffs every year and has one of the best jobs in football. African American coach, easy recruiting of most Catholic kids, one of the biggest alumni in the country for NIL funds, one of the best trademark schools in the country.
PSU fans are probably yearning for The Captain (aka Turtle Man) right after that pick.....you just knew a pick was coming after the announcers said he would not throw it in harms way....50 TDs 9 INTs..... er 10 INTs now.
To their credit, both teams were trying to win at the end. ND passed before they had to punt.
I see Franklin choked in a very big game, yet again.
I have absolutely no love for ND, but since both couldn't lose, I'm ok with that outcome.
(OSU will beat ND in the championship, anywho)

Agreed - ND also passed right before the winning FG. It is refreshing to see HCs try to win vs. not trying not to lose.....
I love Phil, but I was really envious seeing ND blitzing so much too....
ND played “Kirk ball” the last 3 minutes…PSU played “star ball” at the end and got burned by their own mistakes and greed.
Especially with his statement about coaching, very respectful and professional way to divert attention from "race" to what is needed in the sport.
That was a horrible decision by Allar on that last pick, should know to NEVER throw back across and late to the middle.
Worst part is that probably wasn’t even his worst throw of the game. Good example of why good QB play is so important in big time games.
Kirk would have never allowed that play to be called. Boring Kirk…not playing to “win”…. But also not playing to “lose” either…this game should have gone to OT except someone got greedy…and Greed is one of the 7 Deadly Sins.
Penn State OC actually called a pretty solid game. Plenty of first half passing plays that should’ve been money including the 90 yd TD wheel route to the HB Allars air mailed. Mediocre QB and WR play sank them. The few times Allar hit quick passes in the 2nd half it opened that running game up again…he just sucks tbh.
Pretty sure that'd be frowned upon, but you're more than welcome to try your luck.
Oh and don't forget they don't have to share any of that revenue. Screw that school.Why go to a place where you're equal with the players?

That's not even close to true. Penn St took over around the 20 and got a 10-12 yard gain? I'm guessing if they had gained a yard or 2 they probably just continue to run and play for OT. 59 seconds I believe was plenty of time from the 32 yard line to get into field goal range. Allar had plenty of time to throw, he hesitated and then the pressure came. If he tosses it away and lives to see another day they well might have gotten into field goal range. Far from star ball. The guy has 50 TD's and 9 picks for his career at that point, you expect better decisions from your veteran QB.
You heard it here first. He will be the new coach in Pittsburgh very soon, especially if Tomlin is ousted in round 1 of the playoffs again. The Steelers live by the Rooney rule and Freeman will get a serious look if they move on.Why go to a place where you're equal with the players?

Unfortunately, yes. And that hurts me to say that haha.
ND played “ conservative ” and punted the ball to PSU late in the 4th.. they allowed Penn State to get greedy, throw a bad/illadvised pass, intercepted it, ran a couple of base rushing plays, snuck a key short pass in there and got the ball into prime FG position, set up the FG and won the game.
Looked and smelled an awful lot like “Kirk ball” to me. Especially Kirk in the last 3 minutes of a tight game. Couldn’t help but smile. I have seen Kirk do the very sane thing to Franklin a couple if times in the past few years at Kinnick.
Notre Dame won because they can pass the ball. Penn State lost because they can't.
Tomlin isn't going anywhere. They just extended him through 2027. They revel in mediocrity just like Iowa.
dont be so sure. Rooney made it clear he expects some playoff wins. if PIT loses big it's a possibility they move on.
We'll see.
This season ND was a notorious lacking football team when it came to throwing the ball.
PSUs weakness was it thought it could throw the ball.
