Maybe ND can make something happen to get within a score before half...

OU is closest to those 4. They were clearly a top 3 team in 2018.

OU only by default, but yeah you’d have to include them in that list of teams that you’re surprised when they don’t make the playoffs. Which is laughable considering I don’t think they’re ever really on the same level as those other teams on a consistent basis, but they’re consistently good enough to make a strong case for that 4th spot. And just like what aggy learned this year and what TCU and Baylor learned the first year of the playoffs, if all things are equal they’re gonna put the blue blood in 100 times out of 100. ND and OU are definitely the programs they’re looking for when they want to find the 4th team

Damn I'd like to see Casey Thompson and Bijan playing behind an O-line like this.

but really this was foretold in recruiting the CBs.  We  had to send out late offers to 3*s.

[texifornia 56910]

Well ok ND! Might get some points.

So if it's #4 UT 7 vs #1 Bama 21, you wouldn't be happy, in the playoffs? You prefer 55-23 Alamo bowl victories?

Too true.

You better fucking believe I'd be upset only scoring seven points in the first half against a team others have racked up 45 against. Everyone on this board would be pissed.

nbd.  I only know because Lane is such a funny twitter follow.  He trolls everyone including himself and other coaches.  

[F250 28767]

Fuck this game. I'm going to workout now. Hopefully the tOSU v Clemson game is better.

[Surly Bevo 24908]

I've seen worse shovel passes.....

Oops

Would have been better off dropping that

Too soon

[TommyGufano 6021]

devastating catch 🤦‍♂️

[Nicole44 22059]

Aim for the end zone! 

[Helobious 9448]

In fairness it takes next level awareness to drop that. You’d have to fight off all your instincts as a football player. 

[ztejas 43418]

Sarah Fuller would have nailed that. Brian Kelly is a sexist pig. #notmyheadcoach

[pops 6983]

The fuck was that kick? 

[TommyGufano 6021]

Bet he can't kick it like that again

[Vic Mackey 47019]

 

[notre dame joe 187]

"first catch by an nd receiver today"

 

Slowmanek is actually a TE who lines up at wr.

[texifornia 56910]

Yikes re: that kick

[pacman 7355]

Deflected that fg kick

[Funk Doctor Spock 12190]

Holy shit. A kicker worse than Dicker. 4 out of his last 9???? 

[ztejas 43418]

Is 148-8 good?

[SDG 3319]

Interesting the live line only moved to 21.5 and the ou dropped to 58.5.   

[Surly Bevo 24908]

LMAO at Saban

[Boogaloo 268]

Lol Saban about to toss the head set and mic stand into the upper deck 

[mdleast 8289]

lol Saban always put out to have it talk to the media

[taybo20 2825]

Great interview haha

[Mdhorn 5948]

Going in 21-7 at halftime is a win for ND.  They weren't blown out.

He hates that interview shit going into halftime...

If I were a coach I’d hate having to talk to someone before running in to locker room too.

Please. We all know your book sucks.

since this has become the playoff expansion thread:

8 kills the bowls

16 is the number:

- TEN DAYS IS LONG ENOUGH TO SET MATCHUPS, VENUES & SCOUTING/PREPARATION

- this kills the bowls but puts $1 Billion in the coffers

- first round on campus seeds 1-8 on days 10, 11 & 12 following championship saturday (finals need to be finished....)

- second round RANDOM DRAW played week after xmas / around new years at a NEUTRAL SITE big stadium equidistant between the 2 schools

- semis RANDOM DRAW thursday/friday of nfl divisional weekend (again, 10/11 days later), at agreed stadiums

- final same saturday as superbowl at preset location bid on 4-5 years out just like the superbowl

[orangecat92 306]

If I could get 'bama -21.5 right now I would take it.  I don't think Saban is about to put up with this ND keeping it close bit.

Freshwater seems to be growing up a bit. He had a lot of success (and money) at an early age and didn’t handle it well. He may yet become a pretty formidable CFB HC.

Not sure it was deflected. That looked shitty off his foot. The announcers were just being nice.

How does 8 kill the bowls but 16 doesn't?
