I've been a Notre Dame football fan and lived one mile from the stadium for 65 years. Am not an alum but ND is my blood. I've experienced the great Parseghian teams of the 60's, and the last national championship team in '88. As the guys just mentioned, I've also lived through some very bad football. Frankly, I wasn't sure that ND would ever reach this level again. All I can say to all the fans is enjoy this. This team and this time is special. One of the greatest football games I've ever watched.
Do we know who that was? Recovering the fumble was truly amazing. I was at the game and from where I was I thought it was PSU ball 100%, I couldn't believe when the refs didn't signal it their ball.
Angeli is a special guy. Not many QBs in the portal age wouldn't have stuck it out to be the backup. But Angeli bought in. He wanted to be a part of this team, and he came through when he was needed. Love that kid.
Steve gets the MVP for waking up a stagnant offense, putting points on the board going into halftime, and giving the offense confidence. Our team is very young, we have amazing depth, and Steve is ready to lead next year. Meanwhile, off to the NC!
So tell me how this happened. 3rd string Left Tackle. 1st string Right Guard, becomes starting Left Guard after returning from a prolonged injury. 2nd string Left Guard becomes starting Center. 1st string Left Tackle becomes Right Guard after returning from prolonged injury. Thank God for Amil Wagoner's steady presence, otherwise I don't think my heart or brain could take it. Won't even start on the defense. Kudos to Angeli, never doubted you brother. GO IRISH
My brother and I have had our differences in life over time. But, we have watched every game together at my home this playoff season. Tonight we hugged and cried together...That's all I have to say.
Class of '97 here! I was at the '93 Game of the Century ND-FSU only to be heartbroken by the loss the following week against BC! This year feels different and magical. GO IRISH!!
Stand up ND nation. We are for real and ain't going nowhere. Goooooooooo Irish!!! We hear to win. Here comes the Irish. Our year our team our coach. We are ND!!!!
Huge call by the Irish to throw the ball on 3rd down to get in a better position for the game winning field goal. So many amazing moments!! Angeli coming in and delivering, Love going super beastmode for the TD, Kiser flying everywhere, Riley not letting the picks get into his head, Mitch going clutch again, the list could continue...
Some unbelieve plays tongiht.....Angelli out of the bullpen for Middle Relief....an O-Line and D-Line held together with Duct Tape and Gorilla Glue, Jeter, Gray, KVA, Gteathouse, Love with a TD run for all-time, and on and on. What a 2nd half. Please pull one more rabbit out of the hat on 1/20. The training room will need extra tables for the next 10 days, but one more win is that close.
@@billweiler1883espn sorry ass network had to bring race into it after yesterdays game. They always got to get political. Politically driven network. Lame af
play of the game, the one that brought Leonard to the tent. Angeli comes in like Mariano Rivera -ice cold veins and makes it a one score game. Leonard comes back in the second half and the offense plays with a fire in the second half.
ty for the coverage...see you on the 20th...i learned the nd fightsong at age 4 in 1967, during Hanratty era...this coach staff and this team...Exciting!
ND halftime adjustments were really noticeable. They came out in the 2nd half and played different. Not great or anything spectacular, but they were def playing better.
@@TimHydecoach after watching the osu-Texas game, I got a little bit of hope. I feel Texas shot themselves in the foot more times than not. And don’t even get me started on that goal line play.. 🤦🏻♂️ it’ll be a tough one. We will see
@ Texas is a really good team. They couldn’t get out of their way in the last UGA game and vs OSU. It’s always easy to say but the best QB on Monday night wins this game. A battle of 2 transfers!
Interesting point, Tim: Sneed blew coverage on that Singleton drop early in the game, and then Sneed perfectly came on the delayed blitz leading to the Gray INT late in the game. That is a great synopsis of the ND team. "The last play doesn't matter, it is the next play that matters." This team just really stays in the game and they have so much character.
I think Sneed thought Moore had the new #1 in coverage who is the RB. The DB's switched responsibilities off the motion from what I saw. Same in the UGA game when Bowen got beat. Heard played a lot and was excellent vs. Warren. Sneed keeps getting better and better.
Finish the business 👩💼 Irish ☘️ win 🥇 it all , but what a great game , beat a big ten team , now can people stop this independent talk stuff go win it all ❤
watching it on tv, the thing that really pissed me off besides the schuler PI, was the second to last ND play. there was 10 seconds on the clock, they run a play-center the ball and they put 12 seconds on the clock with no explanation.
I think it is interesting that Singleton ripping that 12 yard run on PSU’s last possession helped ND win the game. That was a classic late game scenario for PSU: run it on first down, if you get nothing then play for OT. If you get a chunk, then you go for it. Singleton grabbed 12 yards, Franklin decided to go for it, and Christian Gray and Mitch Jeter made them pay.
Brothers we did it all i heard is lenard can't throw. We can't win a big game we play no one join a conference. We have beatin indiana sec champs Georgia now big 10 runner up pennstate. The irish are 4-0 against the acc 4-0 against the big 10 2-0 against the mighty sec beating the sec champs go irish on to the natty
To me that interception Penn State QB threw was karma it was like pay back what happened. In 1990. #1 Notre Dame lose the game when Rick Mire throw the ball down the middle and Penn State intercepted Ricks pass than kick the winning game field goal 24-21 and ended Notre Dame's dreams the same way ND did to them last night☘🏈
@@wcs494 The 93 team won the title! I'm sticking to that talking point until I'm blue in the face hahaha. Miami gets 89 for the head to head over ND and ND gets 93 with the head to head over FSU.
I kinda want Ohio state more but then don’t care long as they bring that tittle home 🏠 and to northern Indiana and to all the fans don’t care 🤷♂️ just want the business to be finished ✔️ and we all celebrate 🎉 a tittle I hate
And? You play who is on your schedule. It's all you can do. Nobody knew Miami was going to pull out of the scheduled game with ND, nobody knew USC was going to be bad, nobody knew Florida State was going to suck, etc. It isn't at all like ND tried to line up a weak schedule. All ND could do was play the schedule they had. And, then, in the playoffs they have beaten three straight top 10 opponents. So, sorry ... the "weak schedule nonsense" is just that ... nonsense.

ND can reach it I have been saying for a long time. Just need the right ingredients and chemistry to hit.
Angeli, Jeter, and the lineman that wrestled the fumble back are the unsung heroes of the orange bowl.
Do we know who that was? Recovering the fumble was truly amazing. I was at the game and from where I was I thought it was PSU ball 100%, I couldn't believe when the refs didn't signal it their ball.
@@brandonchambers5397 Wagner! The guy everyone was saying "he's to small" lol
Yes!

That was determination.

Team of heart and grit.

Just got back from the game. What a night. Best game ever.
Thank you! What a night!
Go Irish!
How can you not love the way this team plays? Marcus and the resilience and guts of this team are making America love ND despite their urge not to.
ND Nation loves this team.
Stand up ND nation. We are for real and ain't going nowhere. Goooooooooo Irish!!! We hear to win. Here comes the Irish.
Our year our team our coach. We are ND!!!!
Go Irish!
I don't think I've been this excited since my freshman year in High School, 1988 season !!!
Love it!
Leonard is tuff and gritty, but I was a little bummed when he replaced Angeli! Dude had a rythem going! Great win!
Leonard is a warrior.

1 of the all-time clutch ND games.
Game ball to Angeli! Caught PSU flat footed - brief play, but critical at that point of game
Game ball for that clutch drive and then Riley & the O woke up in the 2nd half.
ND 2024-2025. The Unsung Heroes.
I can't believe ND is playing for the chip! Great show fellas
Ditto! What a season this is.

Kris Mitchell got him one too.
That was incredible. Exorcised the Miami demons from the Bama loss
1st win in Miami since 1/1/1990.

Steve might be the answer at QB next year I’m just saying
Will be a fun spring football battle.
I will say that Tyler Warren is a beast. He was, in my opinion, the best player on the field. I knew he was good, but ... damn, .. that guy can play.
#44 and #11 are grown men for the Lions.
Two old rivals putting on a show. Go Irish !!!
Thank you Tim for letting chat room morons who complain about Aneyas Williams know what kind of player #20 is!! Poised and Clutch
