Notre Dame PROVED They're A Real CFP Threat | Notre Dame vs Indiana Reaction

[@benz0972]

Classic. ND on upset alert…Irish beat down…opponent is now overrated. Yawn

[@bvgshouldbecoach]

Tale old as time. In fact this year was a 180 then to a 360 with AM game. What I mean: Pre season: AM will destroy ND at AM After the game: AM sucks and will go 4&8 When they beat LsU: AM would beat ND on neutral site with this new qb. It was week 1 teams get better

[@JohnMoore-ew6xg]

So true..

[@LeeH-c8g]

Indiana has been overrated all year man. Everybody has been saying that. They've played 2 good teams and got smashed by both. Go ahead and celebrate. ND played well- at home against a weak opponent. Just fact. Nobody will say Georgia was overrated if ND wins. Georgia is not Indiana bud. There won't be any 98 yd TD runs vs GA. Kirby is 17-1 after extended bye weeks. Would expect a good game with Georgia being pretty conservative with a backup QB. Georgia typically dominates the 4th qtrs with depth and power. Gonna be fun to watch.

It’s good to continue being critical of ND if you’re ND. They shouldn’t be satisfied at all with where they’re at. Gone are the days of just being happy to be included. Goal is to win every game

Blake is the old chapter of college football. He doesn't even bring up Georgia having to go to 9 overtimes against GTech, while ND took care of them pretty handedly

[@PF-ye2ux]

Don’t think that’s an argument you want to pursue. UGA had the toughest schedule of anyone in these playoffs. That grind will wear on you and catch up with you in other games. How did ND do at home against a MAC team right after their big win at Kyle field? Case and point. Now multiply that. Also, Haynes King didn’t play against ND.

@@PF-ye2uxIF, and I’m saying IF Notre Dame can find a way to beat UGA- do you think they’ll get respect saying they can win a big game? Or do you think Beck’s injury would be an excuse to say it doesn’t count?

[@BrianSB]

@@quintonyordingFunny how people forget about NDs injuries. Lost a (probably) NFL 1st round corner, starting Viper and 2nd, starting offensive tackle, and starting nose guard and running back just coming back from injury. Buy yeah, that won’t have an effect. Got it

@@BrianSB Oh hi angry internet person. I'm an ND fan. The point of my question- if the Irish beat UGA- will people continue making make excuses for them in the same way that everyone said IU had a shot at beating us, but now that we beat them, the field goal post move in the argument and everyone says IU sucked and should have never been there.

[@jenfran9224]

27-3 with 2 minutes left

[@NDTexan]

Over 50% 3rd down efficiency, 20 1st Downs made, can't specifically point out any throws Riley just missed poorly, completely disregards every good throw he made... Never change Blake. You always have an ax to grind and you don't actually point out to specific things, you just say stuff

[@DarioMilanes]

Exactly, what is he talking about. Leonard looked good. Like real good. If he plays like this we win the chip.

[@AkshatShekhar-d7b]

Third down was good so he goes with the made up term “critical” downs. Indiana O was outclassed so Blake talks about ND’s rushing O being somewhat limited by the much more legit Indiana rush D. Blake is either disingenuous or a zealot, there’s no third option

[@TDDP574]

Why is nobody bringing up the fact that it was 20 degrees in the middle of winter !? ND played a safe conservative game and still dominated. If it was September, that score would've been alot different. ND did enough to win and not beat themselves..

[@tilerreese1737]

Notre Dame will be in your great city of New Orleans playing a playoff game while BK/LSU sitting at home talking up about LSU needs to wait til 26' to be good again. Love it!!! 🍀 🖕

[@fenian2316]

Psst: It's the play-offs; NO STYLE POINTS are required. Notre Dame ran the ball because they could, and from a coaching standpoint, they didn't show Georgia much as they secured the victory. SEC apologists will NEVER give Notre Dame its due; when they beat a team, that team is suddenly "no good."

[@orincoon5585]

Awesome win! Let's Go Fighting Irish!☘☘☘

[@andrewcastelucci6409]

there were at least 3, most likely more, third downs that should’ve converted but were dropped, no fault of leonard. leonard had a great game all around, get in the controlled environment with warm hands and those are conversions completely changing this conversation

[@haroldjohnson3469]

Tonight I don't think Blake was trolling. I usually feel like he's coming down on us and giving us no credit. He had some real points tonight but not being a dick about it but GO IRISH! We'll see how we do against Georgia!!! Successful season!

Let's see how they play against Georgia. Indiana was not a threat so ND was on cruise control the whole night. Georgia will be a test.

[@JayTide]

More than a test, it's funny seeing ND fans pump their chests for beating Indiana.

[@gbaby1372]

Georgia aren't world beaters this yr and history shows us that a GA and ND game is a one possession game

[@KevinBriggins]

Indiana is only ranked because of their schedule. They aren't that good of a team. They racked up wins against an atrocious schedule and the committee rewarded them for it. That needs to change moving forward. If your SoS is 50th or above then you should have to win your conference to get in. Indiana and SMU both should've been treated like a G5 team.

[@Rammer_Jammer]

[@mattschrimpf236]

Indiana is soley responsible for sos being the dominant criteria for next years playoff. Good win for nd. They will give UGA a game.

[@joeyglennon6468]

I'm sorry, but I watched this notre. Dame game and it looked like once they got up a little bit, they kind of took off the gas pedal. I mean, Jeremiah love could have played the whole game and he didn't. I don't know how you get Notre Dame. Just inefficient in the red zone, this game was never endowed. They I turned it on and buried them, and then they put a final cherry on top in the fourth quarter. I honestly believe they did that on purpose. So georgia, when they play georgia, georgia doesn't have a lot of tape

[@ladaivonespencer1475]

If you beat UGA or even lose by 10 or less people will give y'all credit

[@thomasbrennan1873]

Absolutely right! They cant get blown out like Alabama 2012 or Clemson 30-3! If so, then Notre Dame is relevant again. That would be a great thing for all of College Football that one of it's most storied programs is back, the team that invented the forward pass is back Thank God.

[@TimothyJeffirs]

The thing that I think that should worry Georgia that nobody is talking about is turnovers. It's going to be a close game and ND has just about the biggest turnover margin and Georgia is going in with a backup QB that could have a hard time against this ND defense and it's pressure. I think if ND can't force turnovers Georgia will have the advantage, but turnovers could very easily be the difference in this game

[@chewbaka1496]

I see a lot of butt-hurt Notre Dame fans in the comment section. Calm down, Notre Dame fans. If your team can beat GA, then they'll prove Blake wrong. If they can't, then they'll prove Blake right. I don't think Notre Dame will beat GA either.

So we’re just gonna penalize teams because they don’t have big brands? What if Kansas went 11-1? What did Duke did? What if Iowa did? Does it only count if you beat a team that has success in the past? It was a playoff game. It does not matter who you beat. It’s a big deal. We need to beat Georgia because they are the next team in our path to a national championship. Not because of anything that happened in the past. We have gotten smoked in playoff games in recent years. This was a playoff game that we did the smoking.

[@marcuskerr9508]

I agree that the red zone offense/conversion is a serious question mark. You do that against UGA and your season is over. You are only gonna get a handful of opportunities to score against the Dawgs and they must be TDs. You aint gonna beat UGA kicking FGs. Also agree on all but one rushing attempt the ND rushing attack was totally held in check. Granted IU is a good rush defense, but still. You also aint gonna pop off a 98yd TD run against UGA either -- Love is fast but UGAs safeties are just as fast and will take a better angle and knock him out of bounds. Cignetti ran his mouth too much the last couple weeks. His QB was terrible and and their play calling was no much better.

ND looked good and Indiana being overrated is a direct result of that. ND is way better than Indiana and the game being in South Bend matters too. We've said Indianas schedule was weak all year. ND did what they needed to do. That game has no bearing on ND vs UGA. Georgia is a completely different animal.
