Great game! My MVP is Steve Angeli. When he came in to finish the first half, the offense was stagnant. Steve methodically took them down the field, put points on the board, and took them into halftime believing. The ND offense was a completely different group in the second half because of that. Go Irish!☘️
Pat you made me a Notre Dame fan today!! I have no idea how you guys called that game from the end zone 😅 man. Leonard - Greathouse - Jeter what a game!!
When I coached Mitch Jeter in basketball when he was in middle school, he was a game changer, that was part of our first championship team, so not surprised to see that nothing has changed! He is indeed "Clutch"! So happy for this young man.
@@vernonfrance2974 that's what good defenses do,cause To's and the pi calls(coming from an Irish fan)were unfortunately the right calls,as much as I'd hate to admit it,but no holding calls on that Penn st oline had me gasping for air,they were mugging ND's defense
Pat you deserve a booth to call games! You and your guys! Y'all are soooo much better than 75% of game callers that we have to mute out nowadays. Thank you for being real!!! And Roll Tide!!!
Notre Dame beat Penn St without their two best defensive players and high draft picks in Morrison and Mills. And then lose your center during the year and in this game two more offensive linemen go down. But they still had the grit to beat a really good Penn St game. Congratulations to them.
Stop it. The only time PSU got helped by the refs unfairly was on a first down run that there was holding that went uncalled. I'm an Irish fan. There's no need to think they were unfairly penalized. And definitely no need to say so since we won.
Second best college football game of all time behind Texas USC 2005 natty on the line. What made this game so great. Hard hitting football conpeltely balanced game not one person took the game over. Just Team play. But that 1 yard run by Jeremiah was the most insane hurdle lol
You haven’t been watching long if that’s your opinion…this fad of needing to declare everything the GoAt by the generation that has seen the least needs to stop. Sounds ridiculous
@@IXLR82I don'tcusually say this I'm not gonna lie. I'm very very well archived in not just football lore but all sports amigo. Try me. This was what football is all about man. Not a single dominant player but two TEAMS butting head to head for four quarters with the most iconic interception of all time and a game of FOOTball coming down to a kick is literally it's namesake. GTFO It was so close to a The Play ending. Singleton has blockers in numbers if that lateral stayed in bounds
Stop it. I'm an ND fan. The one pick that was called back had blatant pass interference in the same play. ND defender never turned back, ran into the receiver and blew the pick his teammate made.
I'm really bummed about all of ND's injuries going into the National Championship game and I don't expect them to win but I also realize anything can happen . You just never know with fumbles , interceptions etc.. I will watch it hoping for the best but I'm not confident about it . Still an incredible year regardless of the end result .
An instant classic. Thriller of a game, the constant shifting of late momentum, and it came down to which team was going to blink and make that one mistake that costs them the game.
My favorite NFL team might disppoint me most of the time. But the Irish always fight so hard! Our boys did it! Marcus Freeman has brought the spirit back to ND!
I went back to work thinking Penn State had all but won the game after they went up 24-17. What an amazing comeback by Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish have the best coach in College Football
As a Titan fan after hearing all the Drew Allar could come out and possibly be the #1 pick if he does well talk all week. Thank the football gods he showed his true colors. Would've been an extreme mistake if anyone considered him as a #1 pick and our franchise is known for poor decisions. Sigh of relief that this won't be one.
@@JeffreyGlover65Cam isn't setting at home because of Cam. Multiple tds to 0 ints and over 300 passing yards with in every Miami loss. Cam is setting at home bc the defense was trash.
@@RichardJohnson-c9m they played smu than Boise? And let’s not act like the notre dame offense are world beaters.. defensively heck ya but this was a very winnable game if allar didn’t do what he did in this video
@ and let's not act like penn state was rolling over notre dame! Is the defense not part of the game? Wasn't the game tied at 24/24 before he threw the pick? Wasn't the game winnable for notre dame as well?? So your point??
Notre Dame does not win the game if it wasn't for the Lord. Did you see that field goal kick at the end of the game? That kick was going straight for the field goal post. All of a sudden, it changes direction in mid-air. God bless you, Father, may you continue to bless my brothers and sisters in Christ, may you continue to bless my Irish. It is by your hand that it is done. Go Irish☘️
So Leonard spoke about JESUS Christ similar to the kid from Campbell county who didn’t get to receive his diploma due to the same actions someone tell me how this is possible
I personally think religion is as funny as anything, but Riley plays for a Catholic school. Also, I’m a diehard Notre Dame fan and we won tonight, so congratulations to me
Was the kid from Campbell county in college or high school? Public or private? Religious or secular? Because if he is that a private religious college, then it isn't really comparing apples to apples. Not saying it's right mind you. Just saying it may not be an apt comparison.
@@johnobrien1759 No ,congrats to Notre Dame, not to you. And you obviously do not know the difference between organized religion, and true worship of our creator God. Religion is man's attempt to reach God, and Christianity is a personal relationship between man and an all knowing God.
I'm not even saying this as an Irish fan but if they win the Natty over OSU or Texas, They are officially the Argentina Men's National Team of this sport. Remember when the Argentines lost to the Saudis and EVERYONE doubted them afterwards. The Irish lost to NIU and look at them NOW.
what was up with the late PI Where ND picked it off. and they got #8 Shuler for PI.. What bothered me was the ref right there didnt throw it. or he threw it late. ND was celebrating then all of a sudden theres a flag
The defensive back ran the route better than the receiver did and beat him to the spot. ND just finds ways to win. They'll find a way in the title game against Texas, too.
I’m stoked for Marcus Freeman. What a dude and what a coach. One of the easiest people to root for.
Do you think Brian Kelly is watching? They are so lucky he is gone.
We are so lucky to have him. A class act, a phenomenal coach, and as you said a man that makes it so easy to root for him
Freeman > Kelly
Defense win game
He's the best coach in College Football. Been saying it since week 3
Great game!
My MVP is Steve Angeli. When he came in to finish the first half, the offense was stagnant. Steve methodically took them down the field, put points on the board, and took them into halftime believing. The ND offense was a completely different group in the second half because of that.
Go Irish!☘️
Agreed, would've loved to see him in a post game interview.
No doubt.
Exactly
We didn’t know it at the time but that was the first big game moment for our beloved Irish ☘️
He came in and gave the Irish there first spark of the game.. definatly a factor in the W
Pat you made me a Notre Dame fan today!! I have no idea how you guys called that game from the end zone 😅 man. Leonard - Greathouse - Jeter what a game!!
LETS GO IRISH 🍀
How long will it last?
Pat please continue to pick against the Irish

Why because you witnessed 2 bad offenses. Those defenses weren't good the offense was pretty bad!!
As a University of Maine fan, what does being a USC fan have to do with that?
God Bless Notre Dame
Go Irish ☘️
The clock operator bashing had me 😂😂
I called the :24 reset 😂
Finding a way to win is what champions are made of!
I am picking the Irish to win it all!
They didn't find a way to win against NIU but got lucky tonight!
@vernonfrance2974 let's go back to something what 3 month ago?
@@vernonfrance2974well they also beat the sec champs lol college football fans are allergic to giving credit where it’s due

We need more of Pat and crew next year for the games 🎯
CFP classic. GG Penn State. Go Irish!
Drew Allar is horrible lol. Refs were bailing out Penn all night, but the better team prevailed.
They’re gonna hate allar next year lol if he doesn’t transfer
There were no game altering calls that night

Pat, you picked against the Irish every playoff game. Im here to point that out
& he will likely make that happen again in the championship game.
A win for every young boy in the US🙌
These final 4 teams are so good that any error (like turnovers) can determine the game outcome and winner. PSU blew it! Congrats ND!
think there are 3 teams the same then there's ohio state deeper than the other 3 put together
This game had my nerves all over the place😅 good job Notre Dame good job team💪🏈☘️💚🙏 national championship here we come I love football😀💯👍
Pat makes great TV. Let him call everything.
Wow! What a good read for the pick.
Divine intervention by T.D. Jesus . That ball was willed back to the left through the uprights by the big man upstairs. God bless!
I thought the same thing 😂😂😂

Great game. Congrats to the fighting Irish
Thank you Pat for again picking against our Fighting Irish ✌️☘️
What a game
Btw Drew Allar is not better than Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders but y’all know that. Whether you want to believe it or not is a different matter.
Drew Allar better learn Chinese bro. IQ of a stick.
Cam Ward is sitting at home just like overrated Shedeur...believe that.
Ped state sucks, believe thst

We have new ND fans, pls join us
Franklin just got Tressell balled.
What an emotional game back and forth. LETS GO IRISH!!!! We going to the NATTY!!!
Why couldn't they just run the ball or trust their kicker. Penn state head coach need to be fired for this and am not even a fan of either team
Were they gonna kick it like 80 yards for a field goal?
Commes De Faux Down! It was Drew Allar that lost the game. Not Franklin. IT was a terrible decision by Drew.
I love how they were losing there minds every time the ref said PLEASE RESET THE GAME CLOCK!
So THIS is how you get Super Saiyan 2 Shane Gillis
My alma mater is still the only school to beat ND in football this year! Go Huskies!
@vernonfrance2974....congratulations the best team ND has played all year!!
Hang on to that forever, vernon. It's the little things...
Fifty Shades of I'm going to regret that decision during the entire post season. Talk about the red room of pain.
For the rest of his life
Guy with the lisp is a treasure
3rd years are special at Notre Dame for coaches!
GAME OVER
ESPN would you please just pay Pat Mcafee to call every game? NFL, College, NBA, Tennis, Golf. Literally everything.
" Three things can happen when you throw a pass, and two of them are bad."
That mistake and BOOM
where does espn get these announcers ? The guy at 1:50 has me laughing. Also, it's ChampionSHIP, not ChampionCHIP.
Many N.D. fans did not want Freeman's O.S.U. Tressel ball style of coaching.
Marcus Freeman! Mitch Jeter! Riley Leonard! Christian Gray!
Greathouse was the game MVP by far
@@aunch3 yes
Such a stupid way to lose a ball game. Franklin is an artist, truly the Michael Jordan of James franklins
great turnaround after losing to NIU that os why i won the championship in college football 24
Whoever was in charge of the clock needs to be fired
Also great win for the Irish, Freeman will take y’all to great heights
Can someone please explain to me why Penn State does not incorporate number 44 in their offensive planning in big games?
Boston Connor gonna be getting some savage text messages from Shane Gillis after this game 😂
So glad we got Marcus Freeman over Brian big game Kelly! What a great trade. Sorry LSU fans. Maybe yall will hire Franklin next. Hahaha☘️☘️☘️☘️

Franklin's record is intact😂😂😂
