As a Notre Dame fan, I'm ecstatic. we finally beat Georgia as well as won a true New Year's six bowl game. Alot of people don't take into account how bang up our team is and finding out how special our players are stepping up. The only thing we need is depth in receivers.
I am ecstatic that Notre Dame added to the humiliation of the SEC. I loved watching an undersized and shorthanded defense maul the big, bad Bull dog OL. I do think that if James Franklin can get out of his own way, Penn State can beat Notre Dame.
@@fbharris67Penn St has a damn good team. The TE is a beast. ND is so banged up on defense and now Jeremiah Love may not play? Riley Leonard will have to be on his game. Should be a good one
This is just the start man. This offense will open up when CJ Carr starts. Denbrock is running a fraction of what his offense is because Riley Leonard missed the spring and his deep ball isn’t great. Hopefully it’s enough this year to bring a natty home? We will see
I know it's really surprising hearing all of this talk that they can't score and Leonard can't throw. He truly is a dual threat qb but when ND is up he throws a lot less to limit turnovers
@reececampbell6269 He's thrown over 200 yards in just four games all season. Even against NIU, a game where they trailed from 5:35 in the 1st to the end of the game, he only had 163 with 2 picks. He hasn't shown he can throw around the yard even when it's completely necessary.
Penn State is the ultimate winner of the 12 team playoff... Loses to the best 2 teams they played, loses the BIG10 championship, then falls into the absolutely best seed in the CFP. Then get to play arguably the worst 2 teams in the playoff and avoid the heavy hitters. Talk about the luck of the IRISH, seems like the luck of Penn State.
Relax. The Big Ten has laid waste to the SEC. The SEC, including Georgia have been exposed as paper tigers. They are competitive among themselves and not the Big Ten. I do appreciate Notre Dame humiliating exposing Georgia. Notre Dame was extremely fortunate to draw the Big Ten's one paper tiger (Indiana). Texas might have had the softest route to the semifinal. That being said, I think that the spread is correct. If Franklin can get out of his own way (admittedly, that is a big if), PSU can win this.
The two best teams they played are also likely the two best teams this year, Oregon just had a bad day, but were #1 for a reason. ND is PSU’s 3rd best team they’ve played this year; however, PSU is likely ND’s best opponent this year. PSU got lucky with their path, but ND had the second easiest path here. Indiana was a sound, but untalented and slow team and Georgia was dysfunctional in many aspects leading into the game vs ND, and especially in the game vs ND.
@@Jay-pd9kc it’s more arguable that PSU is better than UGA (with stockton) than it is to say that NDs defense is better than OSUs. Also, Allar is pretty good at presnap recognition with blitzes, id bet money that Stockton’s inexperience in leading an offense was a massive part in the amount of times he was pressured. Now, PSU couldn’t finish drives against OSU, but they moved the ball down the field enough to win that game. Should be an interesting old school game, super nervous but ready!
Irish fan here Josh and that is the same score I predicted on a few Notre Dame channels. Penn St. 21, Notre Dame 26. Good analysis Brah, and As Always, GO IRISH!!!!!!☘🍀☘
It's funny how you guys said all the exact same b******* about Notre Dame playing Georgia and look Notre Dame didn't even have the greatest of game offensively and still pretty much blew them out give Notre Dame their damn credit already
The thing that takes credit away from notre dame is the fact that their offense did not look good. You can’t predict that Defense/Special Teams will be responsible for 17 points…
@@coastingalong strip sacks and house calling a kick return are lucky now? Don’t think that if ND is trailing they coach the game differently offensively? The amount of casuals in comment sections is annoying
I've heard A LOT of talk all across platforms about Tyler Warren. I imagine him being so focused on and pulling so many eyes that it might open up some blown coverage on the outside or even take eyes away from Singleton/Allen on wheel routes or in-motion. Obviously, he's probably still gonna have some catches, but I Imagine him pulling attention similar to what Boise did to us. They had a 30+ yard catch because of Blown coverage where a linebacker abandoned the TE to help with Jenty. Maybe use him as a skapegoat
Penn State as one of the fastest receivers in college football ..but ithe used to be a high school quarterback ...number five omari Evans the guy who catches the Deep balls runs a 4.2 ..he has blazing speed and Harrison Wallace their number one receiver number 6 is pretty decent ...it's not only just Tyler Warren plus they have the best running back tandem in the country.. with both backs eclipsing a thousand yards this season!! Katrin Allen being the bulldog and next Singleton being the Blazing speed home run hitter... even Drew will make some plays with his feet when necessary... the problem is Penn State has to play great defense they have a tendency to miss tackle sometimes if they play solid defense they will Breeze to Victory Notre Dame runs the ball successfully they're going to be hard to beat... if they can make them one-dimensional and have to pass... I think Penn State has the upper hand
I had as many catches in that game as those stud wide receivers you referred to. Maybe they ran too fast to be able to catch the ball? 😂 Leonard threw and ran for more yards than your QB.
we may see Alot of Aneais. Williams at RB. lately hes just been NDs 3rd down back. but he is the irishs best pass protector and reciever. he just doesnt have the pop of price or the explosiveness of love. If Love is healthy i wouldnt mind seeing what he can do as a reciever in space .At the end of the day. Price is a man on a mission so im ok with him in the backfield.
Don't sleep on Notre Dame. They may have several injured players but their back-ups play hard and fast. I guess you can look at ND as a rag tag bunch of 2nd stringers but they have come this far nothing in concrete saying that they can't go all the way!
PSU can wear them out if they just pound the rock. The 2 backs are both healthy and we will run 2 TE sets - And we actually have 3 great TE's. Dinkins and Warren can really block well. I don't think the depth for ND is there for 4 qtrs against the over-performing PSU O line.
This is the path. PSU run game vs Irish beat up D line. I think they will be able to generate yards there causing ND to have to load the box opening passing opportunities for Allar. I agree it will be a tough game but the weapons for Penn State do enough to move on.
@@larrybarberio2777I agree, if you look at ND’s d-line the average weight is 276…Penn States O-line is 315. Then Dinkins 255 and Warren 261 are bigger than any DE BD has except Oben. It’s not sexy but as the dude producing the video said PSU should just run at them all game long. Personally would have both backs on the field together to run misdirection and make the LBers have to guess.
Idk why everyone keeps saying the Penn State Ohio State game was close.. like maybe the scoreboard was close at times but Ohio State was never in danger of losing that game
I think the same he's the x factor can move all over the field annoying for a defense opportunity for the offense but he's the difference maker I think one catch can make a difference also if the defensive back is playing? Idk lots of money on Notre Dame this weekend just saying
@@notredame2869 my guy Penn state got two RBs over 1000 yards he barley better than those two. Warren is automatic first round pick while Love is one of many RBs
i know ND special teams has something up their sleeve if not multiple plays. i hope it doesnt backfire. but so far the aggressivness of freemans coaching has been fun to watch. A FAR cry from last year . when he was outcoached on multiple occasions.
Penn State is loving how everyone sleeps on the wide receiver Corps and their weapons outside of Tyler Warren that is team's first mistake they have other great receivers one who runs a 4.2 add Amari Evans the other one Trey Wallace Harrison Wallace is damn good himself can run the entire tree... not to mention the great backup tight ends like Dinkins and others plus the best running back tandem in the country hands down not even close two backs over a thousand yards one of bruising bulldog the other one a strong power Runner with blazing 4.3 speed the home run hitter... it comes down to the defenses and who makes less mistakes that's who wins but people have been sleeping on Penn State all year they should have beaten Ohio State Andy the offensive coordinator just got a little too vanilla inside the five or they would have won hopefully Penn State gets redemption in the National Title I would love to see that

And don't mention Georgia, who was playing with a quarterback who had never started a game in college and barely even saw the field this season.
ND is too smart of a program from the top down to lose this game. You think they were actually trying to run the score up against either IU or Georgia? No. They ran ran ran ran. Used the most vanilla playbook and backed off on both offense and defense as soon as they knew they had the games under control. Took Love out. Rested Price. Played Fr. in key roles to preserve players. They won before the games were over and had already moved on to the next game strategically and mentally. Golden even straight up admitted it after the IU game. Why do things/show things that you don't need to. Just to "prove" that they (a top 3 scoring offense) can score?! People just do not understand how professionally ND is run. Every single decision, no matter how small, is for a precise reason. They're about to smack Penn State. Double digit win. 35-14 ☘️
@lnapjr76 Yet you named Oregon No. 1 and Georgia 4th in the playoffs. Changed your tune about Georgia now you're clinging on to Penn State. You're gonna hate it when Notre Dame beats all your teams
I have a feeling that someone not widely known will be key for Penn State. If ND focuses much of their attention on Tyler Warren, look for sleepers like Liam Clifford and the other young TE Luke Reynolds to emerge. I think the OC has held some packages that haven't been needed to date.
🤣 Penn State is not anywhere close to having a better defense than ND. They aren’t playing better and anyone with a pulse has beat them. They lost their way into the best playoff position and beat the 2 worst teams in the playoffs. They are not ready for an ND.
ND played mid tier ACC teams and military schools, easy to have a good looking defense when you’re up 3-4 scores in a game. Metric wise their rush defense is in the 50s. Lol.
@ which means nothing, they just held one of the best teams in college football to 10 points basically becoming the new SEC champion. And you can save me the whole, “but but they had a backup QB” trash. Stockton played better than Beck and would have had 300 plus yards and a couple scores if his WRs could catch a cold. Since NIU ND has demolished teams, including 2 top 10 in Indiana and Georgia. Penn State has only lost games to get into the playoffs. They are not the same.
@ Georgias offense has literally been nothing exciting the entire season and they were playing with a first time starter, it took a special teams kickoff return and a brain fart on Kirby by not kneeing out the half. Anyone who understands game flows and why outcomes of games happen understand this.
Do you even watch football man! Penn St would have beat the shit out of IU and GA… don’t cry to hard Thursday night!! It’s played on the field! Talk is cheap..
Analysts have been giving credit to teams for beating overrated SEC teams all season even a Georgia team with a QB starting his first game. This isn’t the same Georgia team, ND pretty much blitzed every play. The SEC has done nothing but lay eggs all Bowl season.
Their back up is a 5 star QB that finished the game and beat Texas earlier in the year. Let’s not act like Beck was someone special either. A good college QB, not a difference maker. He’ll be lucky to be drafted in the 4th round. Their back up is more talented, just not as experienced.
So-called "Chaos" and "Madness" are pretty much why I LIKE college football best! Always SOMETHING nutty going on. Predictable, aw c'mon! P.S.(If you don't eat chain restaurant food, your analogies are utterly deranged-sounding!)
Penn State is in the top eight every year ..James Franklin's a good coach, who gets flat for not beating the best program in the country every year even though he does beat them.. I guess no one remembers when he beat Ohio State won the Big Ten and didn't even get invited to the college football playoffs?? NCAA in the committee doesn't like Penn State cuz they are outspoken about the issues of college football Joe Paterno was nd James Franklin is.. Washington did instead and lost by like 60 points!!Penn State probably would have won at least gave a better game... I guess nobody remembers James Franklin and Trace McSorley beating Ohio State and winning the Big Ten over Wisconsin?? Notre Dame however never plays anybody and gets all the ink all the time even when they're not that great... Everybody knocks James for not beating Ohio State...well guess what Ohio state is the best college football program in the country and everybody loses to Ohio State!! name me one team that beats Ohio state every time exactly nobody... everybody loses to them ... (they are the Patriots of college football)...( well you know the old Patriots) ...as does Penn State.. one team!!.. everybody else Penn State beats on the regular!! they're one of the best programs and best teams in the country year in and year out... anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional and must not pay attention... every year they are one of the top defenses in the nation always have the best linebackers the best tight ends and a pretty good secondary... now they have drew or in my opinion probably the best quarterback in the country pretty close he continues to grow and when he finally completes his one more year coming back next year he should be the first quarterback off the board cuz his knowledge keeps growing and is Talent keeps getting bigger!! In my opinion Sanders and Ward can't shine his shoes... even if State don't win it this year... they will be right there next year .. right back at it...IMO whoever can successfully run the ball wins this game.. because Riley Leonard is not going to win this game with his arm ..but Drew allar might..
Why shouldn’t Penn State play in the natty? Because Ohio State will be playing them, and they’ll destroy them so much worse than the first time. Just like Oregon.
it's all about who's getting hot at the right time. I'm taking PSUs RB room over ND right now by far. While not as mobile, Allar is a significantly better QB as well. Let Leonard run for 60 yards and throw for 130 - that won't beat PSU. Then you got Tyler Warren & Abdul Carter on top of all that? I think people are forgetting PSU could've easily won the game against OSU and even still it was a 1 score game. PSU by 7, no idea why ND is getting so much love against them, totally different leagues
Because PSU is shrank in every big moment ever. No one took them as a legitimate threat ever. They got BSU and SMU which everyone agreed was the easy half of the bracket and knew they were just going to stroll to this point. Now everyone’s acting like PSU is some juggernaut. I got Irish by 11. Freeman has that team playing at another level. But PSU will have 2-3 explosive runs great backfield. Allar is getting terribly overlooked in this matchup. I think PSU has better players but Freeman is the better coach.
Thats a big "IF".......... NO one has blown out ND and Penn State wont either. May win the game, but not gonna blow out anyone. PSU hasnt blown anyone out but Purdue. The same team ND blew out 66-7 with starters out in early 3rd qtr.

Used the most vanilla playbook and backed off on both offense and defense as soon as they knew they had the games under control. Took Love out. Rested Price. Played Fr. in key roles to preserve players. They won before the games were over and had already moved on to the next game strategically and mentally. Golden even straight up admitted it after the IU game. Why do things/show things that you don't need to. Just to "prove" that they (a top 3 scoring offense) can score?! People just do not understand how professionally ND is run. Every single decision, no matter how small, is for a precise reason. They're about to smack Penn State. Double digit win. 35-14 ☘️
Why weren't they "too smart" against Northern Illinois?
@@lnapjr76 You clinging bad onto that game lmao
@@RefinedQualia And you're trying hard to pretend it didn't happen.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
@lnapjr76 Yet you named Oregon No. 1 and Georgia 4th in the playoffs. Changed your tune about Georgia now you're clinging on to Penn State. You're gonna hate it when Notre Dame beats all your teams
@@RefinedQualia I only have one team. And it's ending your season tomorrow.
This game could end badly for Penn St especially if the Irish keep 7 in the box mixed blitz and fake blitz packages ND 20-6
Why do need anything special on offense? Did Michigan last year?
Marcus Freeman isn’t going to the NFL. Not yet.
Penn st hasn't beaten anyone in the top 10. Biggest win usc
I would say Boise St and SMU are bigger wins. And Boise St was top 10 in every poll.
@@clarkg5946that’s too logical. Boise is bad and wasn’t a top 10 team because they lost to Penn state, obviouslyyy.
Boise, SMU and Illinois were all ranked teams
@@Krysiisxso I guess Notre Dame isn’t a top 10 team if they lose to Penn State
and this matters why?
Al Golden will have Drew Allar crashing out harder than Joe Pa did
Fr🤣
Old School power vs Old School Power. It's gonna be a great game, Notre Dame has been crushing people months.
ND: 28
PS: 17
I'll take Penn state+7.5 for 250$
Notre Dame scoring 26 pts, you are all the same, you have no idea what’s going going on.
They scored more than that 😂
Penn state 27 nd17
God bless you
I have a feeling that someone not widely known will be key for Penn State. If ND focuses much of their attention on Tyler Warren, look for sleepers like Liam Clifford and the other young TE Luke Reynolds to emerge. I think the OC has held some packages that haven't been needed to date.
I have a feeling Tyler Warren and banking on 6 yard runs was literally all the OC could draw up
WR: 0 catches for -3 yards.
🤣 Penn State is not anywhere close to having a better defense than ND. They aren’t playing better and anyone with a pulse has beat them. They lost their way into the best playoff position and beat the 2 worst teams in the playoffs. They are not ready for an ND.
ND played mid tier ACC teams and military schools, easy to have a good looking defense when you’re up 3-4 scores in a game. Metric wise their rush defense is in the 50s. Lol.
@ which means nothing, they just held one of the best teams in college football to 10 points basically becoming the new SEC champion. And you can save me the whole, “but but they had a backup QB” trash. Stockton played better than Beck and would have had 300 plus yards and a couple scores if his WRs could catch a cold. Since NIU ND has demolished teams, including 2 top 10 in Indiana and Georgia. Penn State has only lost games to get into the playoffs. They are not the same.
@ Georgias offense has literally been nothing exciting the entire season and they were playing with a first time starter, it took a special teams kickoff return and a brain fart on Kirby by not kneeing out the half. Anyone who understands game flows and why outcomes of games happen understand this.
ND didn’t play anyone all year lmao and let USC have 600 yards on them and UGA qb still had 230 passing yards just needed tds
Do you even watch football man! Penn St would have beat the shit out of IU and GA… don’t cry to hard Thursday night!! It’s played on the field! Talk is cheap..
24-21 ND
Nice call
You used this Cheesecake metaphor last week..
freeman has been extended lol
Analysts have been giving credit to teams for beating overrated SEC teams all season even a Georgia team with a QB starting his first game. This isn’t the same Georgia team, ND pretty much blitzed every play. The SEC has done nothing but lay eggs all Bowl season.
except they didn't, they sent far fewer blitz than usual. They took advantage of the weak LT for UGA. Zero ball knowledge lil bro
Their back up is a 5 star QB that finished the game and beat Texas earlier in the year. Let’s not act like Beck was someone special either. A good college QB, not a difference maker. He’ll be lucky to be drafted in the 4th round. Their back up is more talented, just not as experienced.
Penn state +1.5
Heard carter not playing
Yes he will
Nittany Lions win
I think it all depends on the receivers can catch the balls for Penn state. Allar is incredibly accurate
the issue is not them catching the ball. penn state is one of the best in the country when it comes to drops. the issue is getting open
@@coastingalongthat boise game was tough to watch when Allar threw some dimes that were dropped
That guy looked like he couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn last night
So-called "Chaos" and "Madness" are pretty much why I LIKE college football best! Always SOMETHING nutty going on. Predictable, aw c'mon!
P.S.(If you don't eat chain restaurant food, your analogies are utterly deranged-sounding!)
Lions win
I think they are panthers bud
@ the Nittany Lions?
These shows need start with other teams first because they only talk about them...sec homer
PS.........GOOD NIGHT......LIGHTS OUT......
If nd win penn st. They will win the National,if penn st. Win the Ohio st. Or Texas will win National
I’m hungry
Penn State is in the top eight every year ..James Franklin's a good coach, who gets flat for not beating the best program in the country every year even though he does beat them.. I guess no one remembers when he beat Ohio State won the Big Ten and didn't even get invited to the college football playoffs?? NCAA in the committee doesn't like Penn State cuz they are outspoken about the issues of college football Joe Paterno was nd James Franklin is.. Washington did instead and lost by like 60 points!!Penn State probably would have won at least gave a better game... I guess nobody remembers James Franklin and Trace McSorley beating Ohio State and winning the Big Ten over Wisconsin?? Notre Dame however never plays anybody and gets all the ink all the time even when they're not that great... Everybody knocks James for not beating Ohio State...well guess what Ohio state is the best college football program in the country and everybody loses to Ohio State!! name me one team that beats Ohio state every time exactly nobody... everybody loses to them ... (they are the Patriots of college football)...( well you know the old Patriots) ...as does Penn State.. one team!!.. everybody else Penn State beats on the regular!! they're one of the best programs and best teams in the country year in and year out... anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional and must not pay attention... every year they are one of the top defenses in the nation always have the best linebackers the best tight ends and a pretty good secondary... now they have drew or in my opinion probably the best quarterback in the country pretty close he continues to grow and when he finally completes his one more year coming back next year he should be the first quarterback off the board cuz his knowledge keeps growing and is Talent keeps getting bigger!! In my opinion Sanders and Ward can't shine his shoes... even if State don't win it this year... they will be right there next year .. right back at it...IMO whoever can successfully run the ball wins this game.. because Riley Leonard is not going to win this game with his arm ..but Drew allar might..
5:18 😂
ND by 17 ☘️
Why shouldn’t Penn State play in the natty?
Because Ohio State will be playing them, and they’ll destroy them so much worse than the first time. Just like Oregon.
ND beat Purdue 66-7 Penn state beat Purdue 48-10
Doesn’t mean anything as a ND fan, Indiana beat them 66-0
Ohio St. Beat them 45-0
Wisconsin beat them 52-6
Oregon beat them 35-0
Using the worst team in college football as a metric, solid point ya got
Pennstate had to go to overtime vs a usc quarterback that got benched…notre dame beat them by 14 how’s that?
@ As a ND fan, that game was ALOT closer then the score says
@@alexpergjoni4880 just like the Indiana game
You really need to start going to much better restaurants. Cheesecake Factory?
it's all about who's getting hot at the right time. I'm taking PSUs RB room over ND right now by far. While not as mobile, Allar is a significantly better QB as well. Let Leonard run for 60 yards and throw for 130 - that won't beat PSU. Then you got Tyler Warren & Abdul Carter on top of all that? I think people are forgetting PSU could've easily won the game against OSU and even still it was a 1 score game. PSU by 7, no idea why ND is getting so much love against them, totally different leagues
Because PSU is shrank in every big moment ever. No one took them as a legitimate threat ever. They got BSU and SMU which everyone agreed was the easy half of the bracket and knew they were just going to stroll to this point. Now everyone’s acting like PSU is some juggernaut. I got Irish by 11. Freeman has that team playing at another level. But PSU will have 2-3 explosive runs great backfield. Allar is getting terribly overlooked in this matchup. I think PSU has better players but Freeman is the better coach.
ND will pick Allar off a minimum 2 times, likely 3 or 4
Any ideas yet!?!? 🥱☘️
Nope. ND didn’t beat them, they sucked lol. Penn state just gave the game away. Oh well, happens. They’ll just get steamrolled by OSU now. Good luck!
Nice prediction bucko 😂
Damn I’m early, go Irish!
Go Irish
GA had no offense w/o Beck. ND had only sporadic offense in the game. Would not put too much stock in that win.
Hilarious canned response and horrible analysis of what happened. Stockton wasn’t the issue, wouldn’t have been any different if it were Beck
Even Georgia fans said Stockton wasn’t the issue after the game 😂. You don’t know ball.
We are !! Penn state has superstars in Carter, Rojas, Dani, Kaytron, Nick, Tyler and Drew. If Penn state can score I think they will blow ND out
Thats a big "IF".......... NO one has blown out ND and Penn State wont either. May win the game, but not gonna blow out anyone. PSU hasnt blown anyone out but Purdue. The same team ND blew out 66-7 with starters out in early 3rd qtr.
😂
@@JSum81 PSU fan. No blow outs but a close old school battle. If ND gets 2 turnovers they will most likely win. If they don't PSU Offense can score in different ways - just enough...
@@JSum81💯
@@ericholmes7143You called it! Definitely a good old school battle! This is what the playoffs should look like!!! Good season PSU! Hold your heads up high! Allar, Warren, Singleton and Carter are BALLERS! Hearts of a champion and they played like it! Go ☘️
24-13 penn state. Penn state wont give up 17 pts in 59 seconds.
Go Penn State Nittany Lions 🦁
You were right….it wasn’t 59 seconds!
😜
Gave up 17 unanswered 💀
Why they shouldn't why Penn State shouldn't play for a national championship nobody wants to watch Ohio State beat the crap out of them again no one because honestly Texas isn't going to be Ohio State and I'm telling you if it's Ohio State Penn State no one's watching
34-16 IRISH!
☘☘☘
ND barley won against Georgia with Stockton starting .. Penn state getting this dub
Go learn more ball 😂
ND would have lost by double digits to ohio state and Oregon
We may find out with OSU. I think ND beats Oregon.
SMU and Boise have/had better rosters than IU
28-17 PSU… notre dames offense SUCKS
Who have u beat , 2 cupcakes in playoffs ! Garbage!😊
ND 24-13
You are NOT dropping 28 points on that defense
Their average margin of victory since NIU is 28ppg. Ill take that.
Good prediction Einstein
Notre Dame shouldn’t be allowed in the playoffs unless they go undefeated they don’t play in a conference not fair to other schools to much politics in sports
Why? We didn’t get a bye like the conference champions did.
No one is stopping YOUR team from going independent, so quit your whining.
@ Not fair to teams who play in conference
@@sterlinggrier734 PSU and Franklin are apparently socialist. Got it.
@@sterlinggrier734 Why isn't it? Repeating the same lame comment doesn't make it any more valid.
Kirby is ok Georgia as a team is ass man ole miss tho! Notre Dame wouldn't have done that to ole miss who beat Georgia you had a fraudulent Georgia team that was in because if the success of previous years
Are you slow?
Ole Miss'ed the playoffs.
Penn state 34
Golden domers 17
Accurate
Only 20 points off.
