Someone needs to draft that Indiana kicker simply for those fire onside kicks 🔥
I thought by I was the only one who saw that. That second kick was EXACTLY the same as the first, the guy who jumped for it just timed it wrong or they easily could have had 2 recoveries.
@@johnpaullambert1024 yea that was insane how easy those looked to get. The ravens might draft him bc Justin Tucker kinda sucks now
@@johnpaullambert1024NFL onside kicking is different now :(
That Indiana kicker was not cooking before if you watched the game 😭 he had like 3 20-yard punts in a row
@@Santi_makes_videosIs the punter and the place kicker the same guy? 🤔
Don’t let the score fool you, IU was held to 3 points the majority of the game. They got exposed with that 11-1 record
Well they play low competition and got exposed when they Ohio state. But their only good win was michigan
Yep. Indiana averaged 43 pts per game, and until the last 1:30 of this game, were held to 3 pts.
They choked against top teams.
Everybody knows Indiana wore ND down and dominated the last couple minutes by design.
Dont try and make ur self feel better u got trounced
@uncklebuckle6859
Before this game, the last non-NBC broadcast of a Notre Dame home game was in 1990.
And the first game on that new NBC deal? vs Indiana 1991. It has come full circle.
Bama/nd titile game? 2012?
@@p___jjkjs That wasn't a home game
@@p___jjkjs He said Home game
@@p___jjkjs I think it was a neutral site, so it doesn't fully count
Indiana have not beaten a top 25 team. They looked overwhelmed
There’s a reason teams like Alabama (except this year) make it in every year when everyone is mad about another team being more “deserving”
Play top tier teams lose by DD in both games and ND game was not even close.
until the last 2 minutes then they realized they could play with them
agreed - what's more sad is that ND couldn't run the board up with them, because they didn't look like a quality team at all... ND is in real trouble moving forward if they don't get their head out of their rump.
@@dave34573 that is why you play til the end
That 98yrd TD run by Jeremiyah Love was a great way to start off the first ever 12-team playoffs. Nice win by ND, the Allstate sugar bowl gonna be a thriller nextweek
It was the shortest touchdown in the history of 12 team CFP era at the time.

No dog in this fight, but Indiana just outclassed. Pure & simple.
😂 no it’s rigged
Which side gains more out of the rigging? Genuinely curious I don't care about American gridiron football@@beats4life971
IU had momentum after that brutal interception...but they absolutely lost it after that back-breaking 98 yard TD run
There was one dog in this fight. His name is Jeremiyah Love!!
College football is better than the NBA.
Impressed with the athletes on that 98 yard TDs run, heck of a foot race.
He was state 100m champion
Love is a burner, ran 10.7 and won the state championship in high school. #22 Sharpe on Indiana is actually even faster, ran 10.4 in the 100 and 21.2 in the 200 hence why he was catching up at the end. 🤷🏿♂️
@@jamesswain2465 Love did that with flu like symptoms and body not at 100%. Imagine how good Love will be 100% healthy against Georgia???
@@elitemidrange He also covered much less field to come that close to Love.
@ That is negated by the fact that he was turned and blocked. If you pause at 1:28 and then at 1:30 again you can see that Love was fully accelerating while Sharpe was thrown off balance and then had to reaccelerate. Love was a full 5 yards clear of him and while granted Love slowed some at the end Sharpe was only a step or two behind by that point. Love is an elite athlete, I was just pointing out that Sharpe is even faster. 🤷🏿♂️
I like this announcer. Combination of play by play and game show host 😂
I said the same thing and they apologized for stopping the game to challenge play calls.
@@KeepItFunkyTV Sean McDonough is one of sport's best, not just one of CFB's best.
Sean McDonough is my favorite as well. You get much more than play by play with him. He was calling a UGA game and said "Caught!! Touchdown!! Catch made by Marcus Rosemy Jacksaint one of the great NAMES in college football!"
Absolutely! Nailed it! I imagine some of today's announcers talking like this in everyday life. "could you PASS THE SALT PLEASE"!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would've preferred Joe Buck for this game. Just imagine...
"This drive will start from the 2, with a run by Love to the left. Still running. Still running. Still running. Aaaand into the endzone." 😂
Game was over after the INT/TD, just like when they had the punt blocked by OSU
Exactly
It was enough for the Irish D. If the score was 7-3 in the 4th quarter, that would have been the final score as well.
Thanks for Jeremyiah Love 98 yard run. The Fighting Irish nailed their first CFB victory ever. GO IRISH!!!
That was their first college football win they ever had? Dang
@@bisaac08makes you wonder how they made the playoffs with an 0-12 record. What an underdog story
Bot
Well dang. This school has been around for hundreds of years and this is only their 1st win? 😂
They trash Oregon win it all
Hottest offense in the league. Only took 59 minutes to finally score a touchdown.
Overrated. They should have never been selected.
College Football being called a "league" makes me feel very uncomfortable 😖😖
Against mostly second string players, too!
Garbage time Kert remains untouchable
@@highperformanceresistance Their only loss was to OSU. Notre Dame lost to Northern Illinois. Definitely could not have left IU out.
Idk why more people didn’t expect this. Indiana beat 1 team with winning record. 1 TEAM! 7-5 Michigan 💀
atleast we didnt lose to an unranked team in the normal season like ohio state did
They are a bottom top 25 team. They are a really good football team just not good enough to beat the top 15 ranked. The program is going places big win ND!!!
@@yoohooenjoyer NOTRE DAME BEAT INDIANA IN THE PLAYOFF AND THE IRISH IS MOVING ON
That same Michigan team that just beat Bama
That Michigan team beat almighty Ohio State and Alabama
Indiana made the playoffs and turned into the Dallas Cowboys
😂😂
Naaaah G cowboys stacked though. We don't know anybody on the dam Hoosiers.....and I watched the entire game😂
The most renowned sports franchise on earth..thanks for proving it!!
😅😅😅
"Indiana made the playoffs and turned into the Dallas Cowboys"
Speaking of which, James Madison University alum Charles Haley ( where many of this year's Hoosiers players transferred from), won Super Bowls while with the Dallas Cowboys three times.
The first touchdown by Love was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jeremiah Love is unbelievable. The catalyst of this team. Him and price and the offensive line face the ultimate test versus georgia. If they can run on the bulldogs, they can run on anyone.
18:18 First off props to Indiana's kicker. He definitely got some scouts paying attention to him after those beautiful onside kicks. What I wanna point out is on this last onside kick, Indiana's #24 (2nd from top of the screen) was fastest off the line but fell down. If he didn't fall down, I won't say he would've caught the ball, but he could've at least contested the catch ND made. Luck of the Irish I suppose :D
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. The second kick was EXACLLY the same as the first the timing of the jump for IU wasn't there that time or they easily could have had 2 recoveries.
couldve shouldve wouldve
@@2glizzyycant even praise a player without having to mention how the game ended
The eye opener was the broadcaster talking about Cignetti being offered the IU job. His wife asked if he'd seen their schedule and she saw 10 wins. No team yet and just by looking at the opponents, she knew how easy the schedule was.
if she saw 10 wins shes nostradamus and youre not a fool
@williamdartt-z5c Just repeating what was said on the broadcast.
As a dawg fan, people need to give Notre Dame some respect
You’re the only dawg fan giving that overrated glorified mid-major school respect. The dawgs are gonna put that game out of reach before halftime. ND is just like IU overrated & shouldn’t even be there.

@ my program??? Who said it was my program?? Who told you 3r d stringers were playing? Do you always say the dumbest things to come to your mind?
leonard played a great game
As a Notre Dame fan, I'm proud of Riley Leonard. After the early pick he didn't flinch. He kept the offense on schedule, he was efficient, he took what the defense gave him, didn't force anything and he had great field awareness. On the 40-yd completion to Faison that all but iced the game, Leonard beautifully sensed the pressure and deftly stepped up in the pocket 👏👏
Baldwin County represent 💪💪💪
IU was held to three points until the last minute and a half! It was a 27-3 game no doubt about that!
The commentator making the Darren McFadden reference on the Notre Dame running back forever has my respect great win ND
I need an autograph
War eagle 🦅 Auburn family regardless lol
Lethal combination of power and speed.
Bro said “lets take a look at this special stiff arm.” Blatant face mask
The defense of Notre Dame has been unstoppable throughout this game, and Jeremiyah Love brought fireworks with that 98-yard TD. The offense has to play better if they want to upset Georgia in the quarterfinals
Upset Georgia, surely you jest, this team is absolute trash!
ND only hope is UGA come play with their eyes closed
@@arcijacknaw never trash yo team is trash hater

It’s unfortunate but we all saw this coming. Indiana had an awesome run, but at the end of the day they’re just colleges’ Miami Dolphins; only good until they face real competition.
it just felt like hey were overwhelmed by the moment...
I feel like notre dame is too but just a bit better.
@@aaronclay4665true but they simply wasn’t that good. They are a solid team but not a great team.
@@RonJP-pm7jpso by Indiana being undefeated that didn’t mean anything congratulations to ND
INDIANA WAS DEI
Finally on campus cfp you have to love it! ❤️🔥
I think the entire playoffs should be hosted on the campus of the higher seed. A night playoff game between Notre Dame and Georgia in Athens would be epic
@ Exactly what I was thinking
Congratulations to Indiana tho. Best year they've ever had!
Congrats to Notre Dame ( I’m an Irish fan for the rest of the playoffs) …..but I’m so proud of those Indiana Hoosiers for never giving up and for a fantastic winning season…much love from a Bama fan ! ❤️🤍❤️
The amount of salty alabama fans coming to complain that they get left out is hilarious
I’ve been a ND fan for over 30 years and seen good times n bad times hopefully we can get to the bug game this year fingers crossed
I think we all underestimated Notre Dame as a hostile environment. That place was loud.
They just haven't been that good in the CFP era bur they are the only college team with their own network... very storied franchise that's kinda fell off lately
Their Always loud
Still this game wasn't as good as the score reps.
You think wrong.
@@ajgriffin1708you can count on one hand the number of teams that have won more games in the last 5 years. "...kinda fell off lately" ???
@@ajgriffin1708 Notre Dame has consistently been among the top 10 programs over the last decade. What are you talking about, “fell off”?

😂😂😂😂
ND didn’t pick the opponent! 🤷🏽♂️
Good luck against Georgia lol
James Madison...
That's a good one.
@@BigMonty686 no but he’s right tho. Half of the team actually came from James Madison
So..... IU's ONLY losses have been to the two teams thatvare in the college championship.....
DOMINATION! Notre Dame was on a mission and the strength of schedule NEEDS to matter. Great game by Notre Dame! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
People been dogging us all yr and acting like we had a weak schedule. It stacks up to anyone else in the playoffs besides Oregon imo. We had a terrible loss don't get me wrong, but no one will tell me we don't belong !
@@LaStOnE_leFtGG thought Indiana would come through guess your record doesn’t mean anything once the playoffs come my Oregon ducks will be on a mission
@@Jeremy-ny3wt I think they're the team to be at IMO. I wish u guys the best of luck, unless u play us lol
@LaStOnE_leFt you played the easiest schedule in Big Ten history and it's not even close. Only 2 good teams and both were blow outs. Indiana absolutely didn't belong. Every team in the top 20 would easily handle the biggest fraud team in history led by the biggest fraud coach.

Enjoy their next one 😂
@@Jefe-qh8kd Go! Dawgs!!!
We??? Are you on the team?
Aside from the awkward finish and the refs needing to stop the clock every five seconds to chat, it was a fun night. Go irish 🍀. Good season, indiana. Props.
I was at the game and I nearly went deaf after Love's 98 yard TD run!
God Bless the Hoosiers, and congratulations for a having a great 11 win season, but they showed who they really were this season when they played good teams.
Everyone being so hard on Indiana forgetting this is the head coaches first year at the school and their first 11 win season in school history. Also, you're arguing like crazy about the 12th and 11th seeds like the it's the top 4. Relax SEC bros.
Agreed!
Indiana has the chance to become a threat in the Big 10.
Yeah this team reminds me of Michigan state 2015 playoff run.look how well that turned out after years went on lol.😂 not even a sec fan and can say they are overrated and they won’t be back next year lol
No dog either
Yes ND was lights out most of the evening
Play calling and o line was exceptional
However...the poise and arm accuracy for Indie at the end showed grit
Idk
I like 17-27 loss or whatnot
Looks more respectful
And that late hit on qb for ND was uncalled for and costly
@@donovanschenck9644 - Yup. North Dakota clearly was superior.
1st year with Coach Cig was 11-2, this team has everything to be proud of. From 1-11 to 11-2 is unbelievable
Yes those wins are great, but don’t really mean much in the grand scheme of things since Indiana can’t beat ranked opponents to save their season. 11-2 and no bowl win isn’t really even a good season. All Indiana did was get over 10 wins and that’s not really saying much when they were all unranked teams
Congrats on the great season, Indiana.
all that needs to be said. All these salty bama fans in comments are so cringe
If Notre Dame's convincing win over Indiana was a warmup, that's good for Notre Dame since Georgia promises to be a much tougher opponent.
Key for notre dame is to slow neutralize jalon walker and Mykel Williams. If they can’t do that then my dawgs got this
Georgia v ND will be a fun one to watch
Dawgs gonna eat.
That was not a convincing win. 25 is a convincing win, not 10. IU didn’t beat a ranked team all season and ND couldn’t beat them down at home.
UGA will pound them by 25.
@adam-vs2in dude it was 27-3 with like under 2 mins left in the game. We put 3rd stringers in garbage time. What game were you watching?
I like the way the Hoosiers are heading as a football program. I am excited to see what they will do when their freshman are seniors, and the coaching staff has implemented their programs. Great victory, Irish.
never seen so many missed tackles in a playoff game!!!!
So true
Go watch the NFL games in a couple weeks. Itll be alot worse. American football players cannot tackle. Tbey dont know how

This is awesome finally watching the college football playoffs like this. This format should have been implemented at least dating back to the 1990's. Either way, I'm glad major college football finally has a playoff format.
You must be new to the game!
@@RodManFB Not at all. I think my comment mentioning that a playoff system should have been implemented back in 1990's should be a clear indication. May I ask how long have you been a fan of the game?
Spot on Todd, this is what I've been waiting 30 years to see! It was silly they waited so long to have an actual playoff...all the other sports have been doing it forever.
Meaningless game that an undeserving team took up a spot in and lost, as expected.
This is great participation thinking if you support that. This is not about competition and, in essence, is not football.
@@MrGlock-x6k This will always be a hot topic about who deserves to get in. If 24 teams were selected, there would still be arguments on which teams should have been selected. It will always be controversial. I think some critics are angry that IU, a basketball dominant program got in. We will have more controversy in the future the day Kentucky, another basketball dominant school gets in. I know, some fans will say that because they're in the SEC the selection will be justified. I hope it happens one day because I want a program like UK to play in the CFPs.
Notre Dame may not care or even like it. But this game was so great for the state of Indiana. I'm a little jealous as a Texan. I'd love to see Houston, Baylor, Texas Tech, or TCU play A&M or UT in the playoff. That would be so phenomenal for the state. And to think Indiana was the first state to accomplish that. For one night in one state, college football was everything it needed to be.
It was a historic night for Notre Dame as they secured their first-ever College Football Playoff win. Despite Indiana’s impressive record, they couldn’t overcome Notre Dame gameplan and got outplayed tonight
And these are local teams!
Impressive record? When did context get removed from the dictionary?
Are you human?
And ND will be out-coached and out-played by Georgia it is that simple!
Im just here to laugh at Cam Newton for saying ND didnt have a chance and the 12 team playoff was a waste of time
Man, this takes me back! Crazy game, and that run by Love was just insane! You can really feel the energy even through the screen. Classic rivalry game, and if you think ESPN did a great job with the highlights, you’re allowed to like this comment!
It's easy to see why Indiana lost - penalties, no ground game, and the biggest reason - many missed tackles.
Congrats to Indiana for their accomplishments, and best of luck to Notre Dame as they face Georgia !
WILSON: ..Yes!...The Hoosiers actually had a chance to win this thing in the final 2 minutes...
The Irish scored early at home, however....Rourke was forced to pass, but he did outstanding work as a Hoosier quarterback...
Merry Christmas, Wilson...

As an Irish fan, I am forever grateful to LSU.
@@petiedog19 yea yall got a good one in Freeman fr 💯
As soon as Indiana fair caught the opening kick off at the 5 yard line, I knew they wouldn’t win. I blame the coach for setting the tone of just surviving, versus winning. I was shocked by the losing mindset on display. Surprised they didn’t punt on 3rd down.
When they fair catched with 7 seconds left in 1st half. Why not take a chance of a run back to end the half?
@ I agree. It’s just like not returning kickoffs. Don’t they realize how much positive yardage they refused to take? This guy was voted coach of the year by someone?
Nice to see the tradition of Notre dame carry on. Don't underestimate them to the finals... Rooting from the pnw

Let this be a lesson for the committee, strength of schedule should be a top priority for the teams put into the playoff.
And let the result of Notre Dame’s next game after this one teach you a lesson not to overestimate overexposed teams like Georgia who left the game with a larger marginal difference than IU’s… IU may have been overwhelmed, but they deserved their spot in the playoffs!

Hats off to the Hoosiers for fighting to the bitter end.
And exiting the game with a shorter margin than Georgia did when they lost to Notre Dame!
jesus christ that stiff arm @12:25
The first 5 minutes of this football game was wild lol!
So proud of my Hoosiers. Tough end to the season but never thought id see the day were they make the playoffs. Best of luck to the rest of the big 10 moving forward.
Will be interesting to see if they can build on this success or are they going to be a one season wonder
Enjoy it
As a lifelong ND fan, nothing but respect for u guys! Played tough and showed a lot of class in defeat. U got a great coach I'm sure they'll be back! Great season!
And now another thing to be proud of for Hoosier nation… the margin difference, when they lost to Notre Dame, was lower than Georgia’s!
ND looked good! Defense was flying all over the place and Love looks like one of the best RB’s in the country! Gonna be a showdown next week against my DAWGS!
Respect from ND fan. Whatever happens I just want it to be a good game, win or lose.
Its goimg to be hard for the run focused ND offense to move the ball against Georgia, but im not very condident in Georgias offensive situation either against this stout ND defense. Im predicting a low scoring game, but ND pulls through with a win due to some exceptional play by Jeremiah Love.

ND really checked out over the last 3 min. Giving up 2 TDs in the last 90 sec! That will get you sent home if the other team has a solid offense.
I agree but the game was well in hand . Still a sloppy finish tho! Played a great 57 minutes!
They took their starters out you idiot
I think Notre Dame wanted to give some of their bench players some playoff/bowl experience, so they get the taste of what they will be chasing when it's their time to be a starter!
@joeblow26 that's exactly what happened . It was 27-3. They didn't do a thing on the starters or when it mattered. Then they recovered an onside kick to make it even look respectable lol
Indiana kicker is an onside *GOD*
1:12, for me, is the best part of this highlight, eeaassiillyy 👌🏿 The athletic ability the referee displayed to not only dodge the ball, but to get back around and see the catch was worth praise. Pay that man!!!😂😂
Does everyone get this upset about the NFL? There will also be an NFC South team in the NFL playoffs - even though ALL of the NFC South teams are horrible. You cant change the rules every time you dont think the truly best teams are represented.
Yes you can. They even changed the rules on the fly when the Pac-12 offed its self
@@dariuswilliams3206well they had to in that case. Unless of course you wanted the Pac 2 "champion" in by default
@@dannyquilter8366 my point still stands
First of all: the bucs have beat the eagles,lions (1 and 2 seeds for nfc, ),commanders(7 seed mostly and blew out the chargers (probably 6/7 seed) so if beating 4 playoff teams is horrible i wonder what it takes to be an average team. Also the bucs won a playoff game last year.
What team from the NFC deserves it more than the bucs do? Cowgirls? Bears? Seahawks haven’t even won a playoff game since 2019. Maybe its the cardinals who have never won a superbowl.
Guess we only gomna talk about the 98 yard run and just ignore Riley Leonard being a future franchise qb the fact he didn't regress after his injury last year with duke and may even be playing better is crazy if he don't get selected the first round when he chooses to opt for the draft ima loose my mind he's definitely a nfl caliber qb
Looking back its embarrassing losing to that IU team...
Love should be a top 5 rb in the draft.
He has another year left 😊
@@ronniethomas8780he’s a sophmore
The 98 TD broke Indiana, the final score doesn't tell how dominant Notre Dame were for the majority of the game.
Cool game.... maybe indiana had weak schedule but a solid team. Cool playoff game. Indiana vs noter date in state is awesome.
Just shows you these big 10 teams etc. In the top 25 with only 1 or 2 losses wouldn't be there if they played a real schedule like an sec schedule ..I get they're trying to make it where other teams get in and all that but usually it's jut to get smoked by a team with any kind of a real pulse...
"An SEC schedule" can mean anything from Georgia's monster's row of a schedule to a softer schedule like Texas had (only one ranked team, played twice).
What cost Bama and Ole Miss wasn't their tougher schedules. It was the bad teams on those schedules, like Kentucky.
How about the way that Michigan played a real SEC team last year in Bama, beat them then won it all the next week buddy?
@@whydoineedachanneltocommen8755honestly, Kentucky isn’t as bad as their record entails but nobody wants to hear that
@@dariuswilliams3206 Because Kentucky was worse than their record looked since the start of October.
@@clipcoug1139 I look at the whole season. A little competence here and there and they have Georgia and Vandy win. Now they’re a 6-6 bowl team. A bad incompetent 6-6 bowl team, but, a bowl team nonetheless.
ND fan here. A couple really big mistakes but I think IU still showed signs of what could be a really good team with a little more work. I do believe they deserved to be there. Coming from the bottom of the list to the top and “the big show” was in nobody’s predictions this year, including their own. Everyone should be proud of what those boys have done for their program in 1 season. Going from playing “nobody” to the “top dogs” with everyone watching in enemy territory can’t be easy. IU, well done not giving up fighting until the clock ran out. Great season 👍🏻 Hope to see you and maybe a few other surprise teams in the playoffs next year.
People are quick to say Indiana doesn’t belong but don’t credit Notre dame cause they looked really good tonight
They were supposed to look good, this was a scrimmage 😂
@@MarvelandStarWarsProductionstell Alabama that vs Vanderbilt, or even ND losing to NIU 🤷🏽
Instead of dogging on Indiana, can’t we just congratulate both teams for making it to the cfp?
edit: I literally just got told to kms by an ND fan lol
Sure, we could...
But please, don't for a second pretend that if Notre Dame had lost this game, the ENTIRE COUNTRY wouldn't be absolutely dogging them.
I am not here to put down Indiana. All I will say is this...
They were not on Notre Dame's level. That's just a fact. It was evident all night.
However, if the Hoosiers had beaten Notre Dame, this video would have 30 times the number of comments, and EVERY SINGLE ONE would be laughing at ND, calling them "Overrated", and how they can't win in the Playoffs.
It would be brutal.
Lets not pretend that this wouldn't happen.
So, I am not going to trash Indiana.
I am simply going to congratulate and celebrate my Irish and their big Victory!!
GO IRISH!
It’s just loser bama fans and other random sec teams doing that whining. And people wonder why they are disliked by everyone outside of their fan base
No
no. be competitive
@@irishron4861 random sec hater like this
Watching this game as a neutral, the worst part about Indiana's Defense...they were in position almost everytime, they just couldn't get the tackle. Ahh well, great season for IU. Congrats to ND for the first 12-team playoff win.
Indiana has improved as a program but I think it’s clear they aren’t a playoff caliber program yet.
Can we now finally admit that they didn't belong in the playoff? They played two good teams, and were soundly whipped both times. They are the product of remarkable fortune, a modest improvement, judicious use of the portal, and an extremely fortuitous schedule. Hope you enjoyed the run, Hoosiers fans: They're a seven-win team next year.
If you take away the two special teams failures against OSU, they were equally competitive against them up to the end. I think they absolutley did belong.
@@criticaloptimist7961if you take away all of ND’s points in this game, IU wins too!
Tennessee proved that those were imaginary top 25 wins. The SEC doesn't play defense. Pretty embarrassing that a 10-2 SEC team looked about the same or actually worse defensively than Indiana and SMU.
Love this new playoff system. Exciting for sure 👍
The Indiana quarterback threw a lot of passes he shouldn’t have, like into tight double coverage a few times. He made a lot of bad decisions during the game.
He was way off, I think the moment was too big for him.
