The FG did nothing they still need 2 TDs.

 

It's a 2 score game at worst. The FG still left them with a 2 score game. They playing conservative in a must win situation. I don't get it.

They're just trying to get into the locker room with the score manageable. They need something positive. They had a decent drive finally. Go for it and come up empty and it's like a kick in the balls. Your team is already reeling. You got a just get something positive. Now if you can get this stop here you have a chance to reply turn the momentum tide going into half time.

Brutal. You get good pressure and a hit on the QB and they still convert.

I'm not seeing anything on that replay to overturn it.

Irish are gonna blow the top off in the 2nd half.

Indiana defenders out there looking like me after a few beers. Just comical efforts to try (and fail) to tackle. Feels like most of ND's yards are after contact. IU just can't finish tackles.

there they go highlighting another 6th year player.  How bout we quit highlighting how college football, during the playoffs, is now old paid players.   I want the illusion of watching kids

Well this year is the end of the 6th year guys at least right?

Weird that IU played that like they were expecting a fake.

And just like that still a 2 TD game. Conservative coaching with a lesser team is just asking to lose this game. It is what it is.

I think so. I think the COVID extra years are used up with the current super seniors.

A lot of runs on the Notre Dame side that are like a shoe string away from being a touch down.  That’s gonna be brutal in the 2nd half.

Yeah, because going for it on 4th and 4 would totally change the fact that ND is just head and shoulders better. Probably the only difference would be that IU would have a goose egg on the scoreboard.

I hope so. The IU HC out here taking timeouts second guessing himself as if he has the talent on defense to keep this game close. Clearly a talent gap you have to coach aggressive there is no tomorrow for Indiana. If you get blown out being aggressive at least you went down swinging.

I like how you just ignore that the result of them being aggressive on their first redzone trip was their shaky QB throwing a bad INT.

If their sixth year QB wasn't playing like a shook freshman backup unexpectedly forced into action they might be able to compete.

Rourke is in real time going from a guy who with a good game tonight and strong interviews might have been able to make himself a mid-round pick to a guy trying to just get drafted.
