I just think it’s time that ( we) the Midwest are back! So sick of nonstop SEC talking points, and media bias. Loved how Michigan beat Alabama last year and now we have ( 3) midwestern northern teams. I’m proud of my Irish ☘️ but so glad that Notre Dame and the Big Ten are back to dominating!! Proud of ND and PSU joining OSU in the final four- Also, great analysis! You guys are good-
I totally agree. 3 teams from the upper Midwest and one team that just left the Big 12 for the SEC. So many SEC guys said Texas isn’t ready for the SEC. We’ll look who’s left standing in the SEC, Texas. I guess they are ready.
Solid breakdown. Penn State probably has the slight roster edge right now because of ND’s massive injury issues, but I think the Irish have the headset edge. It’ll be interesting to see what wins out. I do think you guys might be right that this one is tough to predict, because it likely’ll turn on random mistakes/turnovers.
That's sec hype. Take their predictions and divide by two.😂😂😂😂😂 I'm so glad they won't have a team in the final. I don't have much love for the buckeyes normally, but these aren't normal times we're living in
You can be 💯 percent sure that Al Golden will have a great plan in place for this game. Don't forget Riley can throw the ball who knows when he is going to throw it? What about the pressure alar will get? NFL attack.
Allar can take pressure. Can ND stop Tyler Warren? And I'm guessing Carter is going to be out of the bacta tank in time to play. Should be a great game.
I believe i read it's the same crew that did the sugar bowl. They called 10 penalties on Notre Dame to Georgias 5. Now I don't think it'll be that big of a gap because PSU isn't a sec school.
I guess teams should feel ashamed for winning big games. I'm sure the Irish would give their spot up if they beat Boise to get to this point. Wait why did the Irish brag about beating Indiana? Both teams should drop out. I'm with you on this one. Great season. Maybe next year we will play better opponents.
@timelkin838 No serious fans bragged about the IU win. They were actually dissatisfied that the Irish didn't execute better in the red zone, pile on, and stop the facade of a better game by tightening up in the 4th quarter. I left that game happy but irritated. The Golden Standard is a joy and a bane for both players and fans. You wouldn't understand.
@@324pennstateNIU might have beat you too. You beat Minn by 1 pt, barely beat SC, lost your only 2 tough games, and beat 2 G5 level cfp teams. Lets just knuckle and find out.
Yeah I keep thinking that about Notre Dame doesn't have receivers or tight ends they have some of the best tight ends in the country and Jordan faison is coming on like crazy what are you going to do in your secondary on with him cuz nobody else in the country can stop him All I'm saying is keep thinking that and watch Riley Leonard go out there and throat for $250 and then run for a hundred and something
Riley Leonard plays his best when it's needed the most, and I believe he's going to have a career day against Penn State. I also believe Jadarian Price is going to have a 100 yards plus rushing game, and Jordan Faison, Jayden Greathouse, and either Mitch Evans or Eli Raridon will have touchdown catches. I think Jeremiyah Love will be used more as a decoy, but will still have a long run, or two. Notre Dame has been underestimated all season, and they're going to silence even more critics against Penn State than they did against Georgia. Go Irish 🏈☘️☘️☘️☘️
ND fan here, fan since 1972. You are over confident. It is highly unlikely RL will have his best stats of 15 games against probably the best defense they have played this season. Expect low score and low stats to match.
Drew Allar vs toughest/competitive games of the year (illinois, USC, OSU, Minn, Oregon, playoffs) 9 TDs 7 Ints. Boise St was 3-0 and they were the worst team in the playoffs so i mean against REAL competition 6 TD and 7 INT
@@rebelp311 You are right! That Carter guy won't even get drafted in the first 5 picks. I mean sure he's better than every Irish D player but still they are trash. Worst front 7 in college. Only reason they made the playoffs is because they didn't have to play tough teams like Northern Illinois. They got they easy Illinois team.
It's going to be an old school grindfest. Whoever makes the most mistakes will lose IMO. Notre Dame has superb execution, Penn will need to bring their best.
From a ND fan heres to a good game. I live in PA and i told my friends who are PSU fans that this is one of the best matchups because both teams have a lot in common. This is a 1 score game to me.
@@tjmax711 Everyone? Penn State pod casters were talking about the Irish winning by 2 scores in that game. That we would rather play UGA but it's not going to happen. That the Irish are a tough team and underrated.
A huge benefit of the new 12-team format this year has been allowing “questionable” teams into the playoff. Analysts always had pros and cons about letting teams with exceptional W-L records into the 4-team format when the team hasn’t historically been a top contender. This year there were a couple of these teams. One played exceptionally well but neither advanced to the final four. Any of the final four teams could win this year.
Penn has both new offense and defense coordinators. The team earlier in the season is a different team. The team has solidified since then and is playing better now
@AllHandlesHaveBeenTaken Bro...its the same Coordinators you started the season with. I could say the same thing. All teams have progressed. But Oregon exposed you guys

PSU interior line advantage? Did you see Georgia's offensive line? Everyone said Georgia was going to run all over ND's D line without Riley Mills too. Good luck....
Every analysis I hear about PSU comes down to whether Carter plays or not. If one injured player is going to make or break PSU, you have already lost this game. ND doesn't give af who is on your roster 😂
So we can pick anyone to be on our roster. Can we go get the Chiefs to play for us since ND doesn't care who they play. Maybe next year Notre Dame should play in the NFL. They just don't care who is on the other side. They are that good.
Penn State had the easier schedule in playoffs SMU, Boise State and struggled to get it going early. Kicking game will be a huge matter in this game Notre Dame win.
@ hey brain surgeon, they are littered with 4-5 star guys all over.. Stockton was a more highly rated payer than Leonard or Beck.. they won the SEC and beat Texas twice.. ND also has many defensive players out including best pass rusher ..deck stacked against you chief. Pass on this one
Never thought i could say this but Notre Dame's 2nd & 3 stringers are really good. Better than Indiana and Georgia .....and just maybe Texas and Penn . St.
PSU has the total better team but ND better coaching staff and a game plan. PSU is hard to watch because their play calling makes it hard on them and keeps the other team in the game.
@Ima5starman lmao nah Tyler Slough from Louisville is better. A lesser version of this defense shut down Ohio State, Drake Maye and Caleb Williams last year. Allar is bad with pressure in his face hell get a lot of that this week. Notre Dame has the best secondary in College football, their corners are more than happy to play man on the outside all night. Penn State runs a lot of 12 personal so the box is already getting condensed by how they play. Loading the box against Penn State is not the same as Loading the box against Ohio state lmfao
@Ima5starman they play man defense anyway. This will be a great game. It's a matter of both defenses holding up against play action and not giving up big or busted plays. This will be the best game of them all
Ok so living in PA all my life im so excited fir this game !!! If ND was healthy and at full strength and Not have 10 key starters out for the season ! I'd pick a blowout ,but because of that, this is gonna be a tough close game !! Penn St is good, but ND wins in a close one !! GO IRISH ☘️
I don't believe Notre Dame has faced anyone all year. Penn State would have ran all over Georgia. Let's just get to the game and hopefully no injuries or refs making bad calls.. Penn State 31 nd 13 .
UGA spied Love and Price. That’s what UGA did right. Riley can’t be stopped but he isn’t a home run hitter like the other two. If you spy Riley you will lose Price or Love one or two too many time. Just have your WS linebackers man to man them and flow with them. Make him beat you with his arm and legs. That’s the formula to replicate UGA.
If our offensive line cant block or give Leonard time its going to be a long day. I know we have a lot of injuries, but thats no excuse. If Leonard can pass, the running game will open up. Love is not 100% so Price and Williams need to have good games. On the other side, we need to get to Allar and stop the run. Allar gets really inaccurate when pressured. The TE will be a problem. He is without a doubt the best. Can't stop him but limit him and by pressuring Allar, hopefully get a pick or two. Turnovers will be huge in this game. Go Irish.
Of course, UGA was stopped at running the ball because ND (wisely) selected a facet of the game to take away. If ND decides to keep PSU from running effectively, they won't, and it's doubtful Allar has the passing skills to beat one of the better secondaries on the nation. This is a 51/49 game with ND holding the slight edge. Whichever team makes the fewest mistakes is likely to be playing for a national championship in the next 2 weeks.
I’m a huge ND fan but we do not have the best secondary with Morrison out. Gray has been picked on and isn’t great. But I don’t think PSU has a great passing game but if we stop the the run we should be ok
@hehateme542 Gray was picked on by the refs more than he was SC. The Sugar Bowl refs were just as bad, yet Golden shut them down. This IS the best secondary in the country, Morrison or not and when that blitz package heats up Allar on 3rd down, he better hope there's laundry flying too.
What I find interesting listening to many of you commenting on this game go back to Georgia vs Notre Dame and it sounds like the same arguments in fact odds makers had GA winning and you know what happened there and since NIU loss all Notre Dame has done is dictate their game to each opponent
Irish you don’t get to play the woe is me underdog card. Your fan base collectively and most of the national media are throwing much more shade towards PSU. So very glad this will get settled in the field.
ND gets to play The University of Total Awesomeness card, which is something that PSU will never get a chance to play. It's just our nature. And how we roll. Go Irish 2024 National Champions 🏆 AGAIN! now everyone down on their knees and let us pray. Jesus is Lord.
Tom Allen worries me. He seems to struggle calling the right defense for the first half of every game and tends to give up some huge chunk plays….especially on 3rd down. That can not happen
Notre Dame will out physical Penn State, they’ve played cupcakes in the playoffs and won’t be ready. Allar got sacked 5 times against Boise, Notre Dame sacked Stockton 4 or 5 times playing against a much better O-Line. Gimme Notre Dame 24-13.
@ apparently you haven’t been watching our d line lately. We’re gonna be on Allers ass allll night long. Kinda hard to throw with 3 jerseys coming at you. Also, 1999 bud. 1999 y’all hadn’t had a top 5 win since 1999. Need I say more. We’re gonna dominate you clowns
Been watching a lot of coverage about PSU the last few weeks. It is very obvious the national sports media doesn't want to give PSU credit for anything. "PSU didn't beat SMU & Boise St - they made mistakes and beat themselves". I even heard one national talking head say he didn't really care much for James Franklin. I don't know if PSU can beat Ohio St but I am incredibly confident in their ability to beat Notre Dame. Just one caveat - PSU cannot allow ND special teams to make a difference in the game.
Agree. Defense is really good. Fast and aggressive. Penn st hasn't seen this. Riley can throw whatever you need. He doesn't throw unless he has to but he is very accurate. Nd 28- 10
@@donm9644 ND hasn't seen anything like Penn State's defense either. Neither of these teams is going to blow out the other. The last time Penn State lost by 14 points or more was in October 2022.
The NlL money has evened the playing field Northern teams usually big and slow now they get big and fast player's sec use to best big 10 teams with speed not so much now
Analyzing a game before it happens is just nonsense anymore,you can wish and plead that your team wins,but Penn state wont be able to run,that leaves passing,maybe they win,maybe they wont,but guarantee ND's bringing it,I say bring it Penn State,be a great pound down game
SMU has a really dangerous QB, PSU will have their hands full. Ashton Jeanty is looking to set the all time rushing record, they're gonna have a hard time stopping him. ND is too balanced, Penn State is gonna have a hard time..... Okay.... Keep on betting against em, please.
Uh, no. This is only rough for the rest of the college football world who keeps moving the goalposts of what defines success for PSU. 99% of teams don't beat OSU, Michigan, or Oregon when they're ranked in the top 5 over the last 5 years, but that's somehow expected of PSU who doesn't stack top 5 classes or have an 8-figure NIL budget. Franklin is criticized for only going 10-2 every year, but then ignore when he's 13-2 when everyone thought it'd be a first round exit for PSU before the season. People completely ignore that Franklin is 34-1 since 2022 in games PSU is favored to win, but shame teams like Bama, Ole Miss, Miami, BYU, Iowa State, Colorado, Syracuse, Memphis, and Minnesota for falling a game short of the playoffs. As a Penn Stater, naw, we're good. Only fools disappoint themselves thinking that Ohio State is the Penn State standard when 10 years ago everyone thought it'd take PSU 10 years to recover as a football program. Now we're in the Semis. PSU keep being more successful relative to Oregon the last 10 years without Oregon's resources. I'm so sad for the haters who will have to create a new standard for PSU that their own school won't achieve.
Hi, my name is brendancordial and I am a masochist who needlessly sets himself up for ridicule and disappointment. I inhabit a universe in which Georgia is 2nd only to Notre Dame. I am not delusional. It is the odds makers who are delusional. I am guaranteeing Notre Dame by 37. Riley Leonard 23/25, 4 TDs, no picks.
Which of Oregon or Ohio State do you consider not to be a good team? And both of those are better than any team Notre Dame played all year. What was Notre Dame's signature win in the regular season, Louisville?
Gonna be a Big 10 national championship. Congratulations Buckeyes. You won the first college expansion championship and now the second. Can we expand to 16 teams next year so Ohio State can win back to back championships.

Just have your WS linebackers man to man them and flow with them. Make him beat you with his arm and legs. That’s the formula to replicate UGA.
If our offensive line cant block or give Leonard time its going to be a long day. I know we have a lot of injuries, but thats no excuse. If Leonard can pass, the running game will open up. Love is not 100% so Price and Williams need to have good games. On the other side, we need to get to Allar and stop the run. Allar gets really inaccurate when pressured. The TE will be a problem. He is without a doubt the best. Can't stop him but limit him and by pressuring Allar, hopefully get a pick or two. Turnovers will be huge in this game. Go Irish.
you said 21-20. That was the score in 1987. I was at that game. The coldest recorded temperature during a game at Beaver Stadium.
First round bye was a huge disadvantage. All of those teams took a half to get it together.
T. Hann in the house!

Old school football. Go Irish☘️☘️☘️
Of course, UGA was stopped at running the ball because ND (wisely) selected a facet of the game to take away. If ND decides to keep PSU from running effectively, they won't, and it's doubtful Allar has the passing skills to beat one of the better secondaries on the nation.
This is a 51/49 game with ND holding the slight edge. Whichever team makes the fewest mistakes is likely to be playing for a national championship in the next 2 weeks.
I’m a huge ND fan but we do not have the best secondary with Morrison out. Gray has been picked on and isn’t great. But I don’t think PSU has a great passing game but if we stop the the run we should be ok
Wouldn’t say ND has the best secondary talent wise but in terms of being well coached perhaps…
@hehateme542 Gray was picked on by the refs more than he was SC. The Sugar Bowl refs were just as bad, yet Golden shut them down. This IS the best secondary in the country, Morrison or not and when that blitz package heats up Allar on 3rd down, he better hope there's laundry flying too.
The Gipper never said win won for the gipper
Allar threw 9/7 TD/INT ratio against his toughest competition. This ND DL/LB/DB's will make it really difficult for him.
Mistakes are just that a mistake not done on purpose so all we can do is watch the game and hope for the best. MKL ND fan since 1964
Blah blah blah blah blah blah Penn State blah blah blah blah Penn State Penn State family blah blah blah blah blah blah let's go Irish

@tylermaxwell820 " UGA "
You should get your own show!
What I find interesting listening to many of you commenting on this game go back to Georgia vs Notre Dame and it sounds like the same arguments in fact odds makers had GA winning and you know what happened there and since NIU loss all Notre Dame has done is dictate their game to each opponent
Beer beer for old Notre Dame
Irish you don’t get to play the woe is me underdog card. Your fan base collectively and most of the national media are throwing much more shade towards PSU. So very glad this will get settled in the field.
We have no problem playing the role of bully / favorite. Here come the Irish!
ND gets to play The University of Total Awesomeness card, which is something that PSU will never get a chance to play. It's just our nature. And how we roll.
Go Irish
2024 National Champions 🏆
AGAIN!
now everyone down on their knees and let us pray. Jesus is Lord.

Where was the “insider”
ND 31-13
This host is a Christian Eriksen doppelganger, the Danish international and Man United midfielder.
I wish we could trade bank accounts.
Franklin need to take the headset off and stay out of influencing the play calling
Tom Allen worries me. He seems to struggle calling the right defense for the first half of every game and tends to give up some huge chunk plays….especially on 3rd down. That can not happen
Notre Dame will out physical Penn State, they’ve played cupcakes in the playoffs and won’t be ready. Allar got sacked 5 times against Boise, Notre Dame sacked Stockton 4 or 5 times playing against a much better O-Line. Gimme Notre Dame 24-13.

Riley had 90 yards against GA. And Aller is extremely slow. We won’t have to worry about him running, so we can put another hat in the box 💪
Apparently you haven't been watching Allar lately. Have Rudy on standby to cheer you up
@ apparently you haven’t been watching our d line lately. We’re gonna be on Allers ass allll night long. Kinda hard to throw with 3 jerseys coming at you. Also, 1999 bud. 1999 y’all hadn’t had a top 5 win since 1999. Need I say more. We’re gonna dominate you clowns
@ James Franklin is the Brian Kelly of the big 10 🤣🤣🤣 yall beat SMU and Boise. Whoopty fucking doo. Guess what, we ain’t Boise State lmaoo
@vando_bando just another sad little ND Bandwagoner. Gonna be hilarious with you holding that L
He’s 4.7 chill
ND’s Defense will win the game, 27-13 Irish…. i called Irish Georgia 23-10, Week before 27-14.
Penn State will be lucky to score 10 points. They will be shut down like they were in the OSU game
It doesn’t matter who wins. Ohio State is going to crush Texas and the winner of this game. I’m not a buckeye fan, but I can see the reality.
I need tickets
Yeah we kinda take the ball away too. +32 on the year

Been watching a lot of coverage about PSU the last few weeks. It is very obvious the national sports media doesn't want to give PSU credit for anything. "PSU didn't beat SMU & Boise St - they made mistakes and beat themselves". I even heard one national talking head say he didn't really care much for James Franklin. I don't know if PSU can beat Ohio St but I am incredibly confident in their ability to beat Notre Dame. Just one caveat - PSU cannot allow ND special teams to make a difference in the game.
ND wins by 14
Agree. Defense is really good. Fast and aggressive. Penn st hasn't seen this. Riley can throw whatever you need. He doesn't throw unless he has to but he is very accurate.
Nd 28- 10
Where did you hear that? 😮
@@donm9644 ND hasn't seen anything like Penn State's defense either. Neither of these teams is going to blow out the other. The last time Penn State lost by 14 points or more was in October 2022.
You guys deep down the side?You're saying Penn State's gonna win the game?That's basically what you're saying
I didn’t make a prediction. 😂
Are you saying Penn State has no chance to win?
😂 where did you hear that?
The NlL money has evened the playing field Northern teams usually big and slow now they get big and fast player's sec use to best big 10 teams with speed not so much now
Penn state lost their only big games
Rudy was offsides
Analyzing a game before it happens is just nonsense anymore,you can wish and plead that your team wins,but Penn state wont be able to run,that leaves passing,maybe they win,maybe they wont,but guarantee ND's bringing it,I say bring it Penn State,be a great pound down game
SMU has a really dangerous QB, PSU will have their hands full. Ashton Jeanty is looking to set the all time rushing record, they're gonna have a hard time stopping him. ND is too balanced, Penn State is gonna have a hard time..... Okay.... Keep on betting against em, please.
So that 12 yard TD pass to Beaux Collin’s doesn’t count? This guys just bitter cause Fl State is booty cheeks Lmfao
So sad for Penn State, going to be rough for them when they get blown out.
😳
Uh, no. This is only rough for the rest of the college football world who keeps moving the goalposts of what defines success for PSU. 99% of teams don't beat OSU, Michigan, or Oregon when they're ranked in the top 5 over the last 5 years, but that's somehow expected of PSU who doesn't stack top 5 classes or have an 8-figure NIL budget.
Franklin is criticized for only going 10-2 every year, but then ignore when he's 13-2 when everyone thought it'd be a first round exit for PSU before the season. People completely ignore that Franklin is 34-1 since 2022 in games PSU is favored to win, but shame teams like Bama, Ole Miss, Miami, BYU, Iowa State, Colorado, Syracuse, Memphis, and Minnesota for falling a game short of the playoffs.
As a Penn Stater, naw, we're good. Only fools disappoint themselves thinking that Ohio State is the Penn State standard when 10 years ago everyone thought it'd take PSU 10 years to recover as a football program. Now we're in the Semis. PSU keep being more successful relative to Oregon the last 10 years without Oregon's resources. I'm so sad for the haters who will have to create a new standard for PSU that their own school won't achieve.
@@heartbreak25Real talk!

Hi, my name is brendancordial and I am a masochist who needlessly sets himself up for ridicule and disappointment. I inhabit a universe in which Georgia is 2nd only to Notre Dame. I am not delusional. It is the odds makers who are delusional. I am guaranteeing Notre Dame by 37. Riley Leonard 23/25, 4 TDs, no picks.
Penn st,easy win Dubble digit
LMAO, you sound like the UGA fans
Probably not
its not going to be a good game.....that GA win isnt as great as you think.....PSU by atleast 10

Georgia is a lot better than Penn State
PSU hasn’t played more than one good team all year and they lost.
Which of Oregon or Ohio State do you consider not to be a good team? And both of those are better than any team Notre Dame played all year. What was Notre Dame's signature win in the regular season, Louisville?
Wrong… and Notre Dame played the Big Ten’s paper tiger a mid Georgia team with a second string QB. Great job 👏
Who has Penn st beat?

Gonna be a Big 10 national championship. Congratulations Buckeyes. You won the first college expansion championship and now the second. Can we expand to 16 teams next year so Ohio State can win back to back championships.
lol PennSt has played SMU and BoiseST. You can’t push around ND like you did them two inferior programs
No one's saying they will. But Penn State is better than Georgia or Indiana. For that matter Boise State is better than Indiana.
