OT: ND-Georgia

[Beattheohiostate]

I wish both teams could lose. I despise them both, but I despise Georgia and the SEC a little bit more, so it's good that ND is taking a 13-3 lead into the half. And LOL at Georgia for the turnover that led to an ND TD with seconds left before the half. Sometimes you should be aggressive. Sometimes you shouldn't. That didn't seem a like a good time for Georgia to be aggressive.

 

[pink shizzle]

Notre Dame is probably my least favorite team; so it's go 'Dawgs for me.

 

[coorsoriginal02]

I despise ND but have "had it up to here" with all the SEC love.

Go Irish....Ugh

 

[kwik44]

I actually think Iowa could hang with both these teams.

 

[ISUBryce]

If ASU could have finished off UT, there would be zero SEC teams left.

 

[bdcolt45er]

SEC? More like Less EC.

 

[bdcolt45er]

Feels like they turned the lighting to 11. It's so bright the screen.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

86 just Clifford Franklin’d that pass.

 

[coorsoriginal02]

We quite often see a lot of football teams have open WRs such as that last play by Georgia against a tremendous ND defense.

We don't, however, see that with Iowa. Are we thinking it's a lack of speed at WR or is it our playbook that sucks?

I don't get why our offense has to be so juvenile. And yeah, this is 'beating a dead horse' or whatever you want to call it but maaaaan...all these games are a simple reminder of how pitiful our offensive attack is.

 

[uihawk82]

Not a big ND fan but way too much Georgia the last few years and SEC over the last 15 years.

Go irish

Top 2 seeds going down.

Playoff was needed

I love the heavy dose of sarcasm on a Thursday night.

 

[hawkeye54545]

Kirk would have punted when ND just had it and now with Georgia.

You mean where both ND and Georgia turned it over on downs?

Only if there’s a noose involved.

Yes. ^^ I guess the "eye test" isn't a reliable indicator to go with. SEC going down in flames and NOT to great, great teams. Gotta love it.

 

[Easthawk1062]

One screw job by officials away from zero SEC teams making the final 4.

If Kirk is watching this game, I would love to know what he is thinking. This is how big boy football is played today. The days of trying to sit on the football and let your defense try to run out the clock are over. You play to win the game and never let your foot off the gas. Notre Dame has absolutely put on a clinic in this 4th quarter on how to finish a game.

 

[jonesy5960]

SEC! SEC! SEC!

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

That mighty SEC huh?

Kirk is still our coach, so, all this will remain in effect.

 

[Garbanzo Joe]

Without the brown paper bag advantage the SEC just looks meh.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

If Kirk is watching this game, I would love to know what he is thinking.

He's probably thinking, " that's why you don't try to go the length of the field with a minute left in the half with a back up QB" right before he was strip sacked and the game was effectively over after the ND TD...

Enjoy retirement, james.

You’re old. Go to bed.

 

[Georgia_Hawk]

Plenty to complain about with respect to Kirk. But I am pretty confident that Iowa would have had a TE or RB try to chip that ND defensive end that was abusing the Georgia left tackle.

Also thought Georgia gave up on the running game a little too soon

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

We better hope the NIL spreads talent around outside of regions because the Midwest doesn't produce enough talent to feed Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State.

 

[Georgia_Hawk]

Have always hated ND, but I have to admit I really like Freeman

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Enjoy retirement, james.

Low % football. Kirby said he ragreted it already. If you don't understand %s, I'd recommend you not gamble real money...

Wetjen has the speed, we don't put him in to stretch the D.

These 4 teams already have a lot of talent coming from outside the midwest. A quick scan of their rosters shows the following %s of players outside of midwest (with PA actually included as midwest)

ND 63%
MI 56%
PSU 46%
OSU 43%

I suspect these %s may even go up with the pending roster caps

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Hate ND. Like an unhealthy type of hate. Their new coach seems likeable so it’s unfortunate that he’s there.

OOHH, a "the replacemants" mention?

??? We got abused by rush ends many times this year. What were we doing then?

 

[EastIowaHawk]

I like Notre Dame's Freeman, too. I stopped watching ND when Brian Kelly was at the helm. Couldn't stand the guy.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

I dislike tx and Penn st so I actually hope OSU is national champ or ND

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

I was talking about Notre Dame’s fourth quarter strategy.

No, I would not have tried to score before halftime with a true freshman backup.

Yes, so many things can go wrong in a football game. It’s scary. Iowa should start punting on 3rd down.

 

[Georgia_Hawk]

??? We got abused by rush ends many times this year. What were we doing then?

Iowa gave up 1.4 sacks per game, which ranked 7th in BIG. Not great, but not horrible either.

 

[Garzatough85]

Notre Dame is probably my least favorite team; so it's go 'Dawgs for me.

ND was my hated team while POS Brian Kelly was their coach. I like this coaching staff and head coach so I’m back with ND hoping they win it all
