hammerva Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Yeah sure you were going to be more competitive Notre Dame. That last drive shows the differences in talent so much. Someone tell the other playoff game to start early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 My prediction going in was that Bama would end the 1st quarter winning 21-0. So far I may be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 ND basically playing this game like they’re one of the service academies, trying to shorten the game and keep it close enough to win in the end. Getting that stop at the end of the half was crucial, as 28-7 would be a lot to come back from, especially with Bama getting the ball to start the 2nd. If they get a stop on the next drive, they’ve got a chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Even if they get a stop I don't think they have any chance. They're just so incredibly outmatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Oof. Horrible decision by Book. ND does not need him playing hero ball to win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 That score puts ND in a bad spot. Gonna have to get away from the run sooner than they’d like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 ND just doesn't have the physical talent to match up with Bama play after play. Bama and Clemson right now are just in place that's hard to dislodge them from. They sign the best players, go to the playoffs and usually win at least one game if not the title. The best high school players see them and think "I want to win the title" and signs with one of them (or maybe Ohio State, Georgia, Oklahoma, etc, but the majority of top players go to those same top six or seven programs.) I mean, you can't blame them for building great programs right at the time the playoffs started and focused the attention more narrowly, and of course they are going to use it to their advantage. But it's why ND gets blown out in big bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 If ND had just one guy who could stretch the field vertically or get the edge on somebody, this could’ve been the ND team to break through. Alas, you end up with Book throwing it like 40 times but all underneath, and it doesn’t help them do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Justin Fields showing a ton of guts getting a huge helmet right to the ribs and then throwing a TD for a big lead Fields shouldn't even be in this game. Doing a basic hand off to the RB is hurting him badly. Edited January 2, 2021 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) I'm genetically incapable of wanting Ohio to win, but Dabo really does have it coming for being a dumbass. Also for being a generally shitty human being. Edited January 2, 2021 by Brian Fowler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I would like to point out IU's only loss this season was to Ohio State, by 7, on the road, in a game were we intercepted Fields 3 times. And we get to play Ole Miss tomorrow. Hatrid for literally everything is running through my veins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 You wonder, if Fields has broken ribs like it appears he does, if maybe halftime killed his adrenaline and he just can't get it back to his form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 OSU has really been whipping Clemson’s OL in the 2nd half. Lawrence hasn’t even had much of a chance on some critical plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
