  • Need ND to demolish Oklahoma State, Georgia to stomp Michigan, with ND ending the season ranked #3.

    Really want to see how this game goes.  The Bearcats are the only team I'm supporting in the playoffs.

And Cincinnati has the ball.  I didn’t even see a damn FG attempt.  Wtf.

Weird. I’m streaming too but seems to be working fine.

There's nothing about this UC team that says they would have the ole deer in the headlights mentality, and a minor victory they're achieving is making Bama actually WORK for their points, when they want to strike fast w/Williams.  BUT, they have got to maximize Ridder's athleticism and get the pocket moving....him staying static back there is not working out...and, they HAVE to show Bama they will at least attempt to take the top of the Bama D!

Very well said.

I’m curious how much better the Irish would be looking if they got in this game instead of Cincinnati. 

And.....THAT, hurts.  They actually had Bama off their game for a lot of that half, but just like we were guilty of, no urgency in adjusting on offense.

I'll be honest I think worse. We hung in on defense last year because of Owusu

I don’t think Cincinnati even beats ND if they play again.  So you’re thinking Cincinnati just matches up better with Alabama?

Cincy needs a TD here or the game is over

This game is over, Cincy cant move the ball at all. We would demolish Cincy if we played now.

Hopefully Cincinnati comes out of halftime with more urgency and scores on the first drive.  Maybe a nice kickoff return. 

 

 2020 Semi-Final

  1 2 3 4 T

I don't our 2021 defense matches up as well talent wise with Bama . ND minus Owusu and Hamilton
