@@TimHydecoach Absolutely. I know that RBs have largely been down-played in the modern draft era, but I think Love is going to be that rare RB who goes high in the draft. He’s got it all: powerful running, elite speed, pass protection skills, and pass catching skills. He’s the whole package. Glad ND has him for next season.
Mike Singer is spot on with his media comments. I disagree with Tim that a championship is the only answer to the lack of respect. If you are in the top 7% of college football, you are doing something right. It would be great to win the CFP but failure to do so doesn't mean the program is lost.
The lack of respect has come from 30 years of getting blown out in the big bowl games. ND is a conference of 1 and he media hates that. Appreciate you joining in the chat.
I thought IU looked shook from the get go. Had some guys with WIDE eyes during the IU intro and Mike Shannahan up in the booth was literally shaking while calling plays. The stage was too big for them. Go Irish ☘️
Surprisingly after the game Freeman did comment on the Rylie Mills injury on ESPN - he said Mills injury didn’t seem too serious and hopefully it wouldn’t keep him out for Georgia.
Indiana a strong “ Team” especially at D Line but felt going in we couldn’t lose to a Team of JMU, MAC, Transfers and IU leftovers. Probably should have been maybe 35-10 but just Win and Advance!😊 Got back late so saved watching my favorite show till today!!
Has nothing to do with exotic complex pressures to end the game. Keep running your game plan that held them to 3 points for 58 minutes. In the end ND advances!
I think Freeman plays conservative and doesn’t always show his hand. That can come in handy. Why bash love’s knee or take that risk when aneyas is right there to use.
@26 min..i agree Mike. I have no idea what Tim was talking about . Didn't seem like he was responding to what you were talking about..i was really confused 😂
@@TimHydecoach it wasn't about the media, it was about the overall perception of Notre Dame by the general PUBLIC and FOOTBALL COMMUNITY, not a fan who's been watching every game, and the perception is (which you are right about) that Notre Dame will not be respected until they win the Natty. Mike was saying it's an unfair standard, while you were saying it IS the standard. But i think what happened is you started references things Mike wasn't trying to include in his point so it got a little confusing but it happens 😂.. point is .. WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND IT WON'T MATTER!!!!! GO IRISH!!!. LOVE YA GUYS.. ALWAYS PUT ON A GREAT SHOW!!!
there were about 3+ dropped passes on third downs that could’ve changed the perspective of riley’s game tn a lot. ultimately doesn’t matter if you clean it up next game, but still not great to see
Schedules! What if FSU was 2023 FSU What is USC was as good as predicted? ND schedule wouldn’t be an issue. What should they do, have Freeman recruit for them as well? ND did not have an easy schedule is my point. Lucky maybe.
ND needs to beat GA to gain national respect. Technically, this win against a Top 10 team wipes the slates clean but perception is the same until they can beat a Tier 1 SEC school like GA in a premier bowl game. Go Irish, beat Bulldogs!
Retired American living in Philippines for 14 years cant get your playoff game. No one loaded it up on the site I use for football games. The sports channel here is from Europe so no college football and very few NFL games really sucks. MKL
ND needed style points prior to CFP seeding. Now, just one game at a time by 20 points or 1 point. Garbage time points by opponent really do not matter. Just win the game and hope for few or no injuries.
And for all this talk bout ND being underrated well let me tell u something they need this for a change they played there hearts out this year!!!!!!❤ so ND go for it u deserve it!!! GO IRISH ☘️ AND IF THEY DONT BEAT GEORGIA THEN U KNOW THEY DONT WE GOT THIS FAR FAR AFTER A LONG TIME WAITING!! Good job Leonard !
So painful to read the chat. Too many people who understand little to nothing about football. They must really be great at what they do in life to demand perfection in a game that is so imperfect.
GOOD JOB MY TEAM!!! I am a ND fan have been long time , im so proud my father is passed and i know he was yelling up there GO IRISH and i cried, bc he knew we would take this!! I was yelling rite w him ,, WE DID IT POPS! Irish all the way
Nebraska was a better team that everyone was talking about until Indiana crushed them. The only team to do so. Indiana crushed almost everybody and beat Michigan who beat OSt at their home..Just saying.
IU only played 4 bowl teams and 2 of them are 6-6 teams. IU had the softest Big10 schedule and it showed. Great season from them when you look at how bad they have historically been.
I might be crazy, but I’ve been predicting SMU over Penn State since the match up was announced. I think SMU’s QB will make enough plays with his arm and his legs to get it done, and I don’t think Penn State’s offense is all that special. I got SMU in a close one.
Ahhhh not a good prediction hahaha. Easy 1st weekend with predictions as all you have to do is pick the home team. I did pick Tennessee as those 8/9 games are coin flips, but my gosh did the Buckeyes play angry football.
Tim’s wrong here. When was Penn State’s last NC? Oregon’s? SMU’s? Tennessee’s? Arizona State’s? Even Texas is 20 years removed from a NC. Mike is right, and we’re already seeing it. Yesterday: “ND is overrated and Indiana will beat them.” Today: “Indiana is a joke and ND’s win means nothing.” It’s predictable, but still frustrating.
@ Well, regardless of the BS detractors, ND won a playoff game and, despite some garbage time scores by IU, beat the spread. Haters gonna hate, but nobody can take that away from ND.
Oregon has played in 2 national title games in the last dozen years. I have never compared ND to SMU/ASU....come on now. PSU is in the same category as ND with both winning titles in the 80's. PSU has won many big bowl games over the years to ND's zero. As for the media it has been nothing but love for ND post IU. Now can ND win a bowl game vs. the SEC Champs? We are going to have fun breaking it all down.
@@RyanGainzworthsure, if we can stop stalling on drives. Georgia D way better than Indiana in the world where SOS matters. Our D will be tested by Georgia even with a backup QB as well. ND has work to do. I’m a fan but I’m a realist.
It was good enough to beat Indiana, and that is all that matters. Golden and Denbrock will now turn their eyes toward Georgia. We’ll see what happens there. I think it will be a much different game. But I’m confident ND can play with Georgia. It will likely come down to a couple of plays made by playmakers. Should be fun.
The QB run will be pivotal to beating GA. They should follow the GA Tech approach. But a rested and focused GA may be too much. That battle tested mettle and 5* talent is real.
Next week the roles will b reversed. Overrated indiana beat by ND. Overrated ND gets pounded by Ga. Neither one of y'all had any business in the playoffs
I’m always curious about what kind of loser comes to another team’s message board to pee in the punch bowl after a big win. I mean, it’s baffling to imagine how much of a low-life someone has to be to do that. 😂😂😂
Anybody that called for Freeman’s or Leonard’s head after NIU shouldn’t be allowed to root for this team … fair weather front runners that only are “true” fans when things are good .
I thought Aneas Williams played great
He's had a solid freshman season.
The stiff arm Love gave the IU defender was awesome.
Yeah … that was awesome. Love is such a stud.
He used his head like he was jumping a turnstile 😂💪☘️
Love = NFL dude!
@@TimHydecoach Absolutely. I know that RBs have largely been down-played in the modern draft era, but I think Love is going to be that rare RB who goes high in the draft.

Great to see Jeter looking back to form. Could be important later.
Big kick!
I thought IU looked shook from the get go. Had some guys with WIDE eyes during the IU intro and Mike Shannahan up in the booth was literally shaking while calling plays. The stage was too big for them. Go Irish ☘️
I noticed that too the qb from Indian had the same look on his face as Tom Brady did against the giants in the 2007 super bowl
Thanks for a great show blue and gold …!!!
Thank you!
Surprisingly after the game Freeman did comment on the Rylie Mills injury on ESPN - he said Mills injury didn’t seem too serious and hopefully it wouldn’t keep him out for Georgia.
ND needs him badly....UGA has 2 All American guards this year.
@ 100%. I think ND is way behind the 8 ball if Mills is out. That would be huge.
Indiana a strong “ Team” especially at D Line but felt going in we couldn’t lose to a Team of JMU, MAC, Transfers and IU leftovers. Probably should have been maybe 35-10 but just Win and Advance!😊
Got back late so saved watching my favorite show till today!!
Giving up 1 cheap TD happens...but not 2. ND played great and beat a top 10 team. Onto the Sugar Bowl.
Cant wait to hear the Georgia scouting report!
25:20 it is all time great content when Mike and Tim argue like a married couple
Go Irish!
Agree with Singer re end of game. Al Golden has NFL mind set: just win and don’t waste showing exotic pressure packages when game in hand
Has nothing to do with exotic complex pressures to end the game. Keep running your game plan that held them to 3 points for 58 minutes. In the end ND advances!
I think Freeman plays conservative and doesn’t always show his hand. That can come in handy. Why bash love’s knee or take that risk when aneyas is right there to use.
Plus we have learned he had the flu. Great win and thank you for the comments.
Great to see Mike and Tim go at it arguing! Agree with Tim. 90 percent of analysts I saw were picking ND. I expect to see 60/40 picking GA. Go Irish!
Most analysts picked IU .. It was about 65/35 i watched about 20 prediction shows
Thanks for watching the show. UGA is going to be the pick because the are the SEC Champs and will be well rested for ND.
Tim’s outfit is FIRE!!!
Was the work outfit on Friday & had it handy! Thanks for watching.

Offense stalled at times with some drop passes and Offense line issues. Should have scored 35 plus. ND defense dominated.
I do think IU’s defense is pretty good.
@@dashx1103 they do have some beefy guys in the middle.

Lots of what if's, but ND is in the Sugar Bowl.

Agreed. And i think we have a great shot assuming we're healthy and play at least a B+ game on both sides and special teams
Good points and thanks for your comments.

You will enjoy the game once it is up. Thanks for watching the show.
faison needs a minimum of 6-8 targets per game
Injuries kept him from those numbers this season. It was great to see him healthy vs. IU.
ND needed style points prior to CFP seeding. Now, just one game at a time by 20 points or 1 point. Garbage time points by opponent really do not matter. Just win the game and hope for few or no injuries.
Well ND did have some injuries tonight and now time to rest up in a hurry for UGA.
And for all this talk bout ND being underrated well let me tell u something they need this for a change they played there hearts out this year!!!!!!❤ so ND go for it u deserve it!!! GO IRISH ☘️ AND IF THEY DONT BEAT GEORGIA THEN U KNOW THEY DONT WE GOT THIS FAR FAR AFTER A LONG TIME WAITING!! Good job Leonard !
Thanks for the comments.
Thankfully that game ended when it did. Was starting to get real ugly
Have to focus for 60 minutes.
C’mon Tim..you said 17-16 and just win baby
My prediction was 30-17. I said 17-16 as a point on our live show when I kept seeing people saying ND would win by 30-40 points. Thanks for watching.
27-3, scores by indiana during garbage time when golden called off the dogs dont count
Thanks for the comments,
Let’s be real. This was 30-3 domination
Many wasted drives I felt from ND. Big win over top 10 IU and onto the Sugar Bowl.
Notre Dame Forever!!!
Thanks for the comment.
Relax singer it’s the trolls that spend their time bashing ND.
So painful to read the chat. Too many people who understand little to nothing about football. They must really be great at what they do in life to demand perfection in a game that is so imperfect.
Onto the Sugar Bowl!
Only complaint was penalties and such at key moments, and the end of game fade...room for improvement
Onto Georgia!
just got home from the game and had to watch the show immediately 💯
GOOD JOB MY TEAM!!! I am a ND fan have been long time , im so proud my father is passed and i know he was yelling up there GO IRISH and i cried, bc he knew we would take this!! I was yelling rite w him ,, WE DID IT POPS! Irish all the way
Go Irish!
Worried about the O. Running game is not efficient or consistent. Can't count on Love breaking 70 yard runs v UGA.
Here’s a meaningful stat: ND is the ONLY team to ever beat Indiana in the college football playoffs. EVER!
Nebraska was a better team that everyone was talking about until Indiana crushed them. The only team to do so. Indiana crushed almost everybody and beat Michigan who beat OSt at their home..Just saying.
IU only played 4 bowl teams and 2 of them are 6-6 teams. IU had the softest Big10 schedule and it showed. Great season from them when you look at how bad they have historically been.

If Riley Mills cant go for Georgia their Oline is going to smash NDs front 7
UGA OL is large and very talented. Kirby Smart has made OL recruiting a huge focal point of his program.
They'd beat Iowa..the latter barely got by Neb..

Right. This was the bad thI about playing them. It was a “lose-lose” situation. Now we just need to beat Georgia.
@ Well, regardless of the BS detractors, ND won a playoff game and, despite some garbage time scores by IU, beat the spread. Haters gonna hate, but nobody can take that away from ND.
If they beat ga its gonna be because beck was out like they said when they beat clemson without trevor
@@barnabuscollinss1298 Kind of early for the excuses. 😹😹😹. And, believe me, Beck is NO Trevor Lawrence.
