ND will not be playing more zone. This was asked earlier in the year too, & Freeman made it clear they do what they do. And comparing Freeman mistakes in game 11 or 15, versus Franklin’s constant mistakes for 100 games is hilarious. Freeman just out-coached the current best coach in the country, Smart. This isn’t close, Freeman over Franklin all day.
That’s all you have huh? An old outplayed narrative on James Franklin that only applies to the best team in the country (Ohio state) and a Michigan team for their three year run where they beat everyone in their path except Prime Georgia and a fluke TCU game.
@@samclark3370 well James didn’t lose to Marshall and NIU. Oh but ND wins their big games? Wexcept when they lost to Clemson and LV too. They beat the worst Georgia teams in 10 years with the backup qb, and needed a turnover in the 20 and a kick return to win. Offense looked atrocious. But yeah freeman clears. Let’s not forget he almost actually beat Ohio state until he had 10 men on the field on the last play of the game. What a clown.
Cryogenically frozen since Al Golden coached a game someone remembers 10 years ago --> Al Golden coached in Miami --> Miami hosting the Orange Bowl --> Miami Dolphins --> Ace Ventura --> Finkle is Einhorn. Could be an advantage?! Who's to say.
Notre dame is going to play the same defense theyve played all year. 90% cover 1. Theyll stick moore on warren and maybe leak watts to that side for help, but otherwise theyre gokng to stop the run first and make allar pass against the best secondary in the country to beat them. Close game, but ive got ND 28-21
@@jameyvanderpool9392 that's a good point, he's built for that role and that would let watt's continue to roam the center of the field like he's great at.
I you re watch the Boise game Allar put almost every pass on the money. At least 4 drops and a couple good defensive plays in the endzone but those passes were right there
Penn State receivers don’t set records for dropped balls, Georgia does. Doesn’t matter if Beck or Stockton are QB, Penn State has a better offense than Georgia bc they can at least catch the ball
What are they talking about that PSU hasn't been able to throw the ball in the post season. Drew Just had 3 TD passes against BS (11 yards, 38 yards, and 13 yards). They went up 14-0 within 10 mins of the game starting and then just sat on the game.
Penn State faced Altmeyer who is very mobile (and Illinois is legit after beating SC). Also faced Jennings, Howard, Gabriel and Madsen now who proved he had mobility. It was mind blowing Georgia FAILED to spy Leonard at all. I feel ND fans even admit that, Leonard’s legs for 6-7 yards a pop was their only consistent offense in the game. ND scored 9 offensive points on drives where they actually had to drive the ball from their own territory. They capitalized on the strip sack, and got the KR td. If Penn state avoids turnovers, actually spies Leonard and plays just competent special teams, ND is going to have to find offense from their skill players, not sure if that will be enough to score more than 13-17 points (on offense). Will be a low scoring game.
yeah i don’t know if fornelli watched the Boise State game… Allar threw for 3 TD’s and Singleton and Allen ate on the ground, bad offensive play calling is what kept that game close.
They joke but Xavier Watts actually used to be a receiver but couldn't crack the 2-deep in that role. So he decided to be a 2x All-American safety instead!
Pedo U Defense is #26, GA was #8. ND's Pass Defense is #2, right behind OSU. Common opponent - USC - ND killed them while Pedo u took OT to win. ND wins easily 35-17.
Just a reminder Penn State gave up 27 points to Bowling Green in Happy Valley, and that Bowling Green team lost to Northern Illinois 17-7 at BG. ND 35-10
That was after week 1 travel week when WVU was supposed to upset them, easy let down spot. That’s the same Week ND lost to NIU, so if that doesn’t matter anymore that BG game doesn’t either.
@DR-bp7bl that’s what I’m saying. Appreciate you for realizing teams evolve and things happen. Respect my man, in all honesty it’s gonna be a great game sir!!
@ it’s a wash argument, just because we lost one game early in the season and looked bad doesn’t mean we’re the same team, same as yall with your losses too. We both grew and are peaking now and haters love to bring the second game of the season into play. Good luck brotha and here’s to a great game!!
“I don’t think Penn State’s defense is quite as good as Georgia.” It’s comments like that where you wish these guys would have to pass an intelligence test before being allowed to make a video. In all of CFB, Penn State ranks 6th in total yardage. Georgia? 30th. But yea, they’re not quite as good. 🤦♂️
Garret greene, kevin jennings, luke altmyer are the better runners i can think of them playing soo far.none ran effectively at all. Leonard is better and notre dame is as well. Leonard just doesnt scare me. At all. Make him throw, penm state wins. Period.
What makes it different is ND offensive line and running backs combined with Riley Leonard are just hard to stop. Trust me, as an ND fan, I've felt we were going to lose so many games, and every time the game is over by the 3rd quarter. I think PSU needs to go up-tempo and get a lead and make ND uncomfortable. The most likely way the game plays out, ND wins. But I can see 7 or 8 scenarios, where PSU can win. That's the beauty of these 2 teams. They are similar yet different. ND is laser-focused, while PSU has game wreckers that can put the game away. If I was betting on this game, I would take the team who scores more points lol
ND has fraud “ranked” wins vs the following teams: Army Navy Louisville (beat Washington by a point) A&M I can play the game too. Both teams are very good.
I'm sorry but by no means are they alike. Pryor is a 6'6 NFL WR and as a QB he is way faster than Riley is. In that they both run first as QB's then you are right.
I don’t think Notre Dame has the offense to win this game. Their passing game is ranked 108th; to put that into perspective, Boise State’s passing attack was ranked 70th. The Irish actually have a more one-dimensional offense than the Jeanty Show. And PSU answered the bell and forced key turnovers. Penn State will be the best offense and the best defense that Notre Dame has faced all year, and it’ll show.
Notre Dame has a QB that can kill with his legs and another RB that can run as well, so that is more versatile than just one great running back. This will be a fun game to watch.
These 2 so called SEMI FINAL are just way to a CORONATION GAME. The result is IIN SINCE THE SEASON OPENER, OHIO STSTE IS THE CHAMP for this years and more to come. SO ENJOY THE GAME and put everything aside!!!! OHIO STATR IS ALREADY. THE CHAMP!!!
I have absolutely no clue how this game goes. I do see penn state having a really good chance. I enjoy notre dame fans talking about this matchup being goor and the better matchup out of texas, ohio state and penn state. Thats exactly how we penn state fans feel about Notre dame.
Because of the well earned attention Love has gotten, everybody is sleeping on Price. He’s faster than Love and he’s almost as good overall.
ND will not be playing more zone.

If it’s gonna be a battle of “who chokes more” your confidence in Freeman is misplaced
@ 👍
PennSt is top 10 in the nation in missed tackles. Can PennSt's athletic Dline compete in a phone booth with an aggressive Notre Dame OLine?
Notre Dame’s RBs lead the nation in yards after contact. That’s a problem for Penn State.
@@samclark3370 They just faced Ashton Jeanty, the Heisman runner-up.
I highly doubt that’s true are accurate lmao
and he doesn't lead the country in yards after contact
@@pac7025Boise State is a 1 man show. Get real man.
I can't believe ND has come this far. I been waiting for them to lose.
They ain't gonna. 31-21
Ps, I'm soooo happy I'll be in the OB to see live!
10 wins by double digits, ND continues the streak.

How does ND score 28 offensive points?
@johnvillella1087 in football touchdowns are worth 6 points and an extra point is worth 1, so if they do that 4 times, that equals 28 points.
@@paulpriceand they’ve scored at least 28 in what, 12 games right? How did they do that?!? ND by 20+
I think it will be Adon Shuler primarily covering Warren with Watts providing assistance if needed

Not sure any of you have watched a full ND game all year
I personally watched NIU at ND but then chose not to watch any of the ND games after
Like not at all LOL

I think PSU will be a lot more successful in the run game than ND will
Yea right
Lol
I think you’ll be surprised
LOL
Except Penn st can’t tackle. Love and price are 2nd and 3rd in yards after contact. Jeanty is the only one with more yard after contact.
Every team has known that. ND plays complementary fb.
Pedo U Defense is #26, GA was #8. ND's Pass Defense is #2, right behind OSU. Common opponent - USC - ND killed them while Pedo u took OT to win.
ND wins easily 35-17.
This simulation looks about right
I think its gonna be 23-17 Penn State advances to natty, its gonna come down to a 4th quarter dog fight

Going against better offenses in the SEC too
How many projected first round picks does Georgia have vs Penn State?
What do you mean the offense hasn’t been playing well? Penn State had 200 rushing yards 😂
