[@Irish_For_Life1842]

Unfortunately injuries & other issues forced ND to have a true Freshman and true Sophomore on the corners. So many starters out has definitely hurt. I also can guarantee PSU has impactful injuries too! Same old things to win and lose. Thank you for the All 22 video. Flashback to the old days of when the independents were very strong. ND PSU FSU Miami (Fl) and more. 😎

[@PSU_11]

Thanks for all your hard work Landon. As much as I wish you were on the field, you have a bright future with your football analysis. Amazing breakdown of the Notre Dame defense.

[@raschrad14]

As a High School oline coach and a diehard ND fan, I really enjoyed your breakdown of their defense. Super informative but also done in an entertaining way. Great stuff!

[@LandonTengwall58]

Thank you man that means a lot! More coming soon

[@larryleg3nd]

Dude this was fantastic! Can you cover Notre Dame full time? 😂 this is the best breakdown on the ND defense I’ve seen. Thank you!!

[@st1xc1ty]

This is the type of content the real junkies want to see. Great content, keep it up!

[@Cololorado]

Dude this is awesome! You do an amazing job breaking down the concepts and plays for the average football IQ fan like myself. Keep up the great work - you’re gonna go far! WE ARE!

[@LandonTengwall58]

Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated

[@colewarner4954]

Good stuff as always! Still here as a Boise fan! Would be interesting overall to just see more of the film vs NIU. How did Notre Dame lose that game, and how have they improved/changed since that game?

[@ericholmes7143]

Congrats on a great year!

[@caseyrichardson9271]

Freak play

[@likejimi5845]

Respect! I was really impressed by your coach and team.

[@DerethAC]

ND lost that game because it was the second game of the season and Riley Leonard was struggling to find a rhythm in the passing game. New OC, new QB, and only 1-2 returning starters on the OL was the perfect storm.

[@IrishCarBombMeets12TeamPlayoff]

​@@DerethACRiley was injured in the 1st half of that game as well, the staff didn't want him running the ball under any circumstances after getting dinged up in that one.. This, combined with the fact that Riley had missed all of spring practice and was playing catchup in regards to mastering his role in Denbrock's offense.. certainly created a bit of a 'perfect storm'- type situation on offense for the Irish in that one.. No excuses though. NIU won, fair and square. They whooped our O-line up-front and made the plays they had to make, when they had to make them. Respect to NIU-they kicked Notre Dame's butts and didn't back down one bit all game long. They also lit the fire of the century directly underneath Fighting Irish backsides, as we've seen since. lol

[@thekksinca824]

That play on 18:45 is not illegal contact by the LB on the RB for the same reason that allows SC slot receiver to block the LB in the previous play. The ball is thrown behind the LOS.

[@hunterjohnson6133]

Is that based off where the ball lands or where the intended receiver is? It’s close but look like the ball hits the ground at the 36 and LOS was around the 38

[@KyleJonesDrJones]

Good catch on both! The block on the LB is what made the previous play work as well.

[@ND_Pete]

Happy New Year Landon. Great insight to my Irish. Appreciate all the defensive love my man. Really love how excited you are to see all the matchups play out this Thursday. Should be a great game between our teams. Once again nice work on your break down. 🙌🙏

[@Nittany96]

Wonderful breakdown, LT. Thanks for doing this. That ND pass rush is scary good.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Agreed, their blitz and stunts are legit

[@larrybarberio2777]

Great work. Hope Drew is watching.

[@johntucker5994]

ND fan. That was a really terrific breakdown. Thanks.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Appreciate you checking out the channel man

[@Will-ms8go]

As a former olineman, I loved every second of this breakdown. Loving these videos my man. Interior oline gonna need to have a cerebral performance. Hoping we can get movement on our combo blocks with mills out and chunk the run game. Establish the run is gonna be big for Drew in the drop back. Gonna need to win on the outside edges with someone not named Tyler Warren as I suspect we’ll see a bracket approach. Glad you brought up that OSU tape on how they defended him. Still frustrates me how they said “beat us with someone else” and we couldn’t.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Appreciate it man! Those combo blocks will be big vs these DT that go right into the chest of the guard. Have a great one bro, thanks for the comment

[@donivanbrown]

Great breakdown! Your love for football is profoundly evident. Your joy in even analyzing an opponent was fun to experience.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Thank you! Really appreciate you checking it out!

[@ericholmes7143]

Great work Landon. Thoughts on just pounding the rock. We are bigger and can wear them out since they have D depth issues. Will help with negative plays. Warren and Dinkins are great blockers and can help push them back. 4th qtr we should have some big lanes, especially if they blitz out of them. Also looks like Georgia just missed opportunities and Allar is so good at buying time in the pocket.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Thanks! I definitely think we have to get this ground game going. Yards in the Passing game will be difficult!

[@thatsenoughouttayou8209]

Landon, WOw, as a Die Hard Life Long Notre Dame, I have to say your breakdown is tremendous and very fair. Appreciate your great work..Sean

[@LandonTengwall58]

Thanks so much Sean! Means a lot

[@bobbyray9825]

Thanks. You gave me a new appreciation for Al Golden.

He’s dominant lol

[@lycanautostyling3283]

You're a legend.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Much love bro! Appreciate the support

[@kylebernadyn2465]

What strikes me about the film right out the gate is that both Stockton and Maiava are backups, Stockton being in his first ever start. It makes sense why neither guy looked off Watts and instead got a bit of tunnel vision on their reads. Drew, on the other hand, has that savvyness and that experience to know to look the safety off, like you showed us in the Boise film. That's gonna be huge for him to pop the top on the secondary and get some true 1-on-1's.

[@jeffbogan7007]

Great breakdown! Good work.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Thanks Jeff!

[@stephenmoist623]

ND DL RUNS LOOPS EVERY PLAY FROM DIFFERENT AREAS !!!! PSU MUST PREPARE THE OL FOR THE DIFFERENT MOVEMENTS AND BLITZS !!!!

[@JodyLobdell]

Lots to look forward to. Great analysis.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Thank you Jody!

[@mbd501]

Oben’s a 5th-year senior. #30 Young’s a true freshman. So that’s one reason he may have better pass rushing moves, at this point. But Young has higher upside in the future.

[@ChewTunes]

Great breakdown! I get the sense that attacking 29 may be a key for us as well. Georgia bulldogs guy Brooks Austin has a solid film breakdown as well that highlights some weaknesses in his game. I’m looking for him and Omari Evans one on one. Hopefully the blitz pick up improves!

[@LandonTengwall58]

Agreed he could be big! Thank you so much

[@geoffreyk9164]

I agree with the need to create confusion via pre-snap motion and misdirection, but more broadly speaking, do you think we go tempo and don’t give them a chance to sub or do we try to grind them? Indeed the reserves have done a very good job filling in, but presumably we can exploit their current depth situation

[@LandonTengwall58]

I’d love to go tempo, I think that would be a great idea

[@geoffreyk9164]

@@LandonTengwall58, Let’s see what AK cooks up. Hope to see you in Miami

[@terrytaphorn2782]

The thing about defenses that employ this level of movement is the potential to be gashed by big plays. Do you think PSU can pick up these stunts and blitzes enough to get these big plays?

[@LandonTengwall58]

Absolutely! Theres always a risk. I’m always rocking with our guys!

[@TGo-n-Roscoe]

Good bud g… im trying to build a slip for this game but both teams defenses scare me when it comes to picking how both Qbs will play

Drew knows he holds at least some responsibility for the loss to OSU and the loss to Nike. He understands this is his last chance to not fukk shit up for a 3rd time before the entire offense fails against Tattoo U in the final. Bet the ranch on Drew. He'll be conservative just by the nature of the game...I hope.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Appreciate that brother

Looks like a job for Superman Tyler Warren and the Fatman. Probly gonna be a waste to force the ball downfield to the WR's but I bet Singleton catching short passes out of the backfield will work. I like PSU's chances in this one.

[@thekksinca824]

It is interesting that you say RJ is the most talented pass rusher. I think half the ND fans would have agreed with you on Aug 30th as he transferred in with a seal of approval from Joe Alt of all people. Then he barely recorded a QB pressure all season. Now, ND fans will deride you for that take. As a ND fan, I hope the Duke 2023 version shows up in the game as he did against UGA.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Yeah people went at my on Twitter for saying that haha. Here’s what I’ll say, I just think he has the best moves. He actually works moves and counter moves. I generally didn’t see that from a lot of other guys. But RJ doesn’t have the athleticism that 44 & 30 have, but I think their moves are really lacking He balled out vs GA, let’s see if that confidence carries over! Thanks for checking out the channel

[@sprrwhwk1]

Makes you wonder how any QB can make it to the second progression with the blitz packages. Wishing the best for Wallace, Clifford, and Flemming. WE ARE........

[@johnwertz5477]

The Best !!

Well done Coach Tengwall! OL will have its work cut out for them on Thursday.

Excellence.

[@anthonyfillipelli1432]

Landon, how does the O lineman know to crease the stunt, is it feel, sight or verbal?

[@LandonTengwall58]

It’s really a feel and anticipation. You have to be good man, it’s a hard game haha

[@bobbyray9825]

You need to double down next year and do PSU and ND film.

[@jessecrosson6648]

If motion is the key to confusing the defense, then AK is the man for the job. A little surprised they looked as good against the run as they did. Some metrics suggest that they can be run on. I am hoping we can be physical and then catch them on a couple of cheap ones with PA.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Agreed, film don’t lie though. I’ve learned that one 😂

[@jessecrosson6648]

@LandonTengwall58 yeah I hear you! USC did crease them, though... Hopefully we can find a way to replicate.

[@HudsonCrane-g9p]

Go be some dancing bears against Notre Dame we gotta be smart. Really hope we fix this cause what we were doing last week against Boise State is not enough for this game.

[@msepeta]

ND’s LB blows up USC’s RB bc he’s behind the LOS (ie he’s not downfield as a WR). They’ve done that vs other teams.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Good point. And honestly that’s exactly what I mean. Al Golden has these guys coached SO WELL! It’s really a credit to him and his staff

[@xmassan20906]

Seemed like we in a good place with Notre Dame being soft against the run. Why take a risk Drew being sacked trying to throw against Watts and that secondary. Gash 'em like USC did. Force Freeman and Golden to adjust. Love's not going to be 100%, if he plays, but Leonard can get loose too. Going to be interesting.

[@xmassan20906]

Then again USC really spread things out with trips and a ton of motion to get Notre Dame off balance to set up the run. Could be be different if we get too conservative with decoys that nobody's worried about. Drew needs to hit Singleton and Clifford in the flat.

[@gbaby1372]

That's what ND literally wants y'all to do is run first because they will play to stop the run which will force y'all to throw if the run game doesn't work right away then that works in ND favor. Also I don't believe states wrs are on USC wrs level.

[@gbaby1372]

By drew allar not being much of a runner this makes it easier for ND. Drew can use his legs though so maybe Franklin tried to get him running out of the pocket that may shake shit up

[@issaccody1161]

I think this is total nonsense if PSU fans think they're gonna replicate what USC did if Indiana and Georgia couldn't.

[@xmassan20906]

@@issaccody1161 Georgia's top two runners ran for 1,28o yards. Indiana 1,516 yards. Singleton and Allen ran for 2,041 behind Warren/TE blocking. We might do better than all of 'em.

[@bluejay3945]

Between the snow storm and this analysis I just want to get drunk by 11am. We don’t do well against heavy blitzes and talented man coverage. I’m hoping my pastor, Father Patrick Sullivan, a huge PSU fan, can win us the game with 4000 Hail Mary’s and a few high masses.

Lmao

[@bluejay3945]

@ And F Urban Meyer and that lollipop kid Finebaum for picking ND to win. U need a podcast after we win that focuses on trashing these demons. Oh, and F Kee Corso , the zombie, of college game day.

[@kgardner456]

I run a package of double tight power I with Kaytron at FB and Singleton in at the same time and pound the ball. Hell put Warren back there too! It sounds crazy, but their strength on defense is their secondary. Pretty much takes them out of the game. They are thin up front. Kotelnicki did say, if it was to our benefit, we would put 10 lineman in the game if we had to...just saying.

[@jefflynnalex]

Mr. Tengwall. This makes two weeks in a row the radio station in State College has not broadcast a second of your show. I have never heard a more regularly incompetent radio station. I don't know how they so regularly screw up their own programming. The incompetence is breathtaking and you need to demand that they do better or take your program to another station. It's not just your program but pretty much every local show gets routinely screwed up. Whoever is running the board at the station is obviously not doing the most basic task of anyone who is responsible for a radio broadcast: to listen to the on-air feed. That's how you know something is wrong. To not do this most fundamental responsibility is exactly why this keeps happening over and over and over and over...etc., etc. I am a sports fan and I want to hear these various programs and I am regularly frustrated. I can't figure out how this continues to go on. How can no one notice and do something about it?

[@pattywatty08]

First

[@bradishler5967]

I think Penn State is the toughest opponent Notre Dame have faced all season. Georgia is good but not that good. Penn State has the better play makers. This is the 3rd hardest game Penn State played all year so they've been tested and proven they can keep up. I think Penn State by 10

[@G0DCOUNTRY1842]

ND DEFENSE IS HELL🔥🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈👹🔥🔥🔥😈☘️💚

[@gbaby1372]

Rj is definitely not the best pass rusher on the team😂 but he definitely did well against uga

[@drizzle452]

RJ looked like a different player in that Georgia game-Way smoother and lighter than I remember from the beginning of the year.

[@LandonTengwall58]

Once again. He has the best pass rush tool belt meaning the moves he works. 44 and 30 may get more production. But in terms of that swipe move, and having counter moves. RJ, to me was the best. But yes production not there

[@KyleJonesDrJones]

@@LandonTengwall58 The thing is you said "most talented" in the video, when it sounds like you meant "most technically skilled" - when you explain it like this it makes sense, but watching the video you started off saying he was the most talented guy and hyping him up and I almost turned it off because it was like - this guy doesn't know what he talking about. But once you started detailed about hand fighting I understood more what you were saying. In terms of talent, Bryce Young or KVA are probably the most talented.
