I think we win! The one thing that has impressed me the most about this team is no matter who gets injured, the next man has come in, and they havn`t missed a beat. My only concern is the injuries finally catch up to us. I live in North East PA, about an hour and a half outside of Philly. In this area, you either love Notre Dame or Penn State, I HATE Penn State!
@@ANotreDameFreakinPodcast This valley has been on fire, lots of talk about the snow game, Lou Holtz, Joe Paterno. Most people seem to forget 2007, which is fine by me, lol 😉

Sup guys 👋. LOVE the podcast. I would think, anyone who watches this stream would assume if its a bunch of guys, hangin out , talkin football, that there might be some swear words on occasion? Just wanted to say you guys have never offended me, and I apologize I`m never around when you guys go live so I can jump in the chat. I do have notifications on? Take care, all the best & GO IRISH!!!☘🏈 ☘
No apologies necessary, 80sguy, and right back at ya. The live show was super spur of the moment. So don't worry too much about that. We are still figuring this whole thing out ourselves. Will get better over time. Go Irish.
We’ve actually only ever gone live once so far (Georgia postgame). If we beat Penn State, there’s a good chance we’ll do another live postgame show Thursday night. If we lose, less likely 😂
Really appreciate the comments each week, man! Not only is it cool to hear your thoughts, it really helps the YT algorithm notice our videos. Thanks! Hope we see you in the next live stream
Always fun watching a bunch of Homer's and their crazy high score predictions from the other side. Well GL ND hope it's a great game. So here's my Homer pick PSU 24 to 17! BTW we faced Garrett Greene first game he kinda like Riley runs all over but doesn't pass for too many yards.
Thanks for watching and commenting! We were wondering if there were any nice Penn State fans out there after reading the rest of the comments that came in 😂
Successful season for sure, but I will still be crushed if we can't with the whole thing this year. It takes just the right combination of players, coaches, schedule, other teams being up or down, and lucky breaks to actually have a shot at the title. This is the best opportunity ND has had since '93. I hope they can capitalize.
No kidding! It would be really tough, but if they don’t do it this year at least it seems like they are at a place as a program where they can get another opportunity soon, right?
They love to bash us over our injuries, but don't understand our depth in the roster. I personally wish Freeman would let Urlacher run around in the secondary. The young man can hit like Shuler and Watts.
I'm not sure about football analysis, but the eloquence of the PSU fans entering the chat sure have turned this into a mix of X(Twitter) and the Next Door App.
I felt bad about our offensive yards compared to Georgia's... 244 vs 318. But then I added special teams yards to both teams' offensive outputs and that changed the totals to ND 353 vs UGA 343. Those hidden yards add up.
Guys, you know Knute Rockne was moved from highland to cedar grove on campus in April 2024. Knute and his family are home now and he’s happy. Go Irish!☘️
Serious question for you guys: How much should we read into the fact that Penn State held Ashton Jeanty to 3.5 YPC when he’d been averaging 7.0? Is that more about Boise’s offense being one-dimensional and/or not having faced many challenging defenses this season? Or is that Penn State front something to worry about?
The biggest worry I have is that it shows Penn St’s defense is well-coached and disciplined. If they’re able to execute a plan that forces us to pass, it makes me worry.
Penn State has a great defense, and they've been great against the run all year. Full stop. But no doubt that Boise did not threaten them enough to keep them honest. But not for nothing, against the best teams they faced, Penn State gave up yard. Ohio State put up 176 rushing on em, Oregon 186, and USC 189 yds.
First time viewer here and I really enjoyed the episode. I live in the Harrisburg area too, Squid and the PSU fans here are rabid jagoffs! They all think PSU is life and they're the most elite program in the country. To lose to this BS team with black Brian Kelly would tear me apart. Freeman and the boys get it done 24-16 and we're onto the NATTY. LFGGG!!!
Thanks for checking us out and commenting! Did you remember to subscribe? 😉 Based on some of the other comments we’re getting on this video, your assessment of Penn State fans seems pretty spot on 🤣
I may need therapy with squid if PSU wins. Being a lifelong ND fan and living in the Harrisburg PA area (also being marred to a PSU alum) I would rather go 0-12 then lose to PSU in the playoff. Not gonna lie. I often wonder if god gave me that Georgia win to just be even more gutted this week lol ND PTSD will end for me if they win this game! I will take this win and losing 120-0 in the final and be happy as a hell!
@ Ugh. Yes! I will be outnumbered 5 to 1. And it is the kind of Penn State fans that don't watch all 22 films or look at recruiting rankings, so they lump ND in the same category as Illinois. Smh! I hate PSU fans. Good people, but they act like Alabama fans without the Championships to back it up.
@@givecurtisenishissuitback2574 Leonard’s a different type of QB than any of those. Gabriel and Howard aren’t running threats, and Jennings had an all-time (self-inflicted) meltdown on the big stage/cold weather. I have no idea who Garrett Greene is but a quick google seems to indicate he’s 5’11” and played for WVU so I don’t think that’s a comp
@@aceman241nd Jennings did have a rough game passing but he was also running for his life. Greene is probably the best comp as good of a runner with multiple long td runs from the qb spot in the big 12. Throws better than Leonard imo: I don’t think psu will allow Leonard to crack 50 yards rushing, he will have to make some throws!
@ Will Howard rather pedestrian: 16/24 for 182 two td passes A Pick 6 Fumble touchback (he was stripped) 24 yards rushing Gabriel- surgical but Oregon knew they couldn’t block PSUs front, they were getting the ball out in less than two seconds
Don’t worry, Jim-we couldn’t stop if we tried. Just added a parental advisory sticker now so people know what to expect 🤣 Thanks for listening and commenting!
I swear everybody said PSU was overrated a week ago and now all of a sudden they're better than Georgia? Betchu if ND wins by two scores again the narrative will be back to PSU being overrated. They did the same thing against Georgia, saying Gunnar Stockton was an upgrade and ND had no shot, and then afterward went to "ND beat their backup QB". It's so predictable
@@ANotreDameFreakinPodcast I'm thinking 31-17 ND with the score close going into the 4th. PSU is a good team but I have a lot of faith in this ND team and how they find so many different ways to win
I love the “shitty” teams narrative with Penn State schedule. Who the crap did ND play?? No one until the Big Tens’s paper tiger and a down Georgia team with a second string QB. Wow. BTW PSU’s SOS is 38 while lowly ND’s is 57th. Huh 🤔
Strength of schedule is a tough one to throw out when you lose to the best teams on your schedule… Let’s look at ESPN’s Power Index. ND has wins over Georgia (#6), Indiana (#10), Louisville (#12), Texas A&M (#15), and USC (#17) Penn State’s top 5 wins are against SMU (#13), USC (#17), Boise State (#27), Minnesota (#29), and Illinois (#42) Thanks for the comment
Notre Dame defeated 6 ranked teams, Freeman is 3-0 vs the SEC. Penn State football coach James Franklin's record against ranked teams is 13-27 over his 11 seasons with the Nittany Lions: Top 5 teams: 1-13 record Top 10 teams: 3-17 record Bowl games: 3-4 record against top-25 ranked opponents Need I go on.....
Do yal watch yal team ? Watts IS NOT going to cover warren, he’s freeman’s security blanket in Cover 1 and PG of the defense. Freeman is going to keep him back there to play center field. Psu has the advantage in the trenches. Yal have a freshman left tackle (Knapp) that will have to go against Carter Sutton and Vanover. Your center and guards will have to deal with Zane Durant all night. It’s not a good matchup at all! Psu better QB than UGA Psu better o line than UGA (they have been awful running the ball and protecting all year! PSU BETTER d line and back end play than UGA PSU has singleton and allen. * *Too many injuries on the your d line to hold up. Also running backs with knee braces don’t typically play well (Love). Psu 28-31 ND 17 Nice show
Watts will be there to support whoever is manned up on Warren, though, right? Should be able to help limit explosive plays. Even though Warren is a beast, it still seems like overall our secondary has the advantage over Penn State’s pass catchers ND o-line has been a bright spot (including Knapp) despite the injuries. Matchup could be tough, but we’ll see how it plays out on the field Appreciate you checking out the show and sharing all this! Are you a Penn State fan?
@ I think kotelnicki will make watts and golden have to choose all night. One watts may have to fill in run support more than all year, two if he does shade warren all night I think it puts a lot of pressure on your DBs throughout the game. Maybe that’s ok with ND and they take their chances BUT PSU is 6th in explosive pass rating. They throw down the middle of the field ALOT-Seams and posts. It’ll be a great chess match. Def a psu fan but watch unhealthy amounts of college football.

Good luck tonight… meaning we hope you lose but all the players on both teams stay healthy 😉
38:05 to answer the question we got over the 3 decade drought, although it will be in all our minds we want more.
Yeah, for sure. It’s been a great season, but it’ll sting if they don’t go all the way. That’s just sports for you, right?

Yikes! Watch out lol... Hope you have good health insurance?
So based on the assessment of PSU winning they get blown out- does that mean ND would get beat even worse?
