PHJIrish

Maybe you should check out IU's schedule. Iowa and Penn State, wer their marquee games to date, with Purdue at the end. Notre Dame is circled on each opponent's schedule for some reason, because it's still a big time win for them. Whether it's Navy or Boston College, they always play above their perceived levels against the Irish. And at one time, Texas A&M and Miami were both top five rated teams, and A&M still is. Losing by a total of four points isn't a non qualifier for the Irish, imho.

Cooper's footwork was worthy of being like a ballet dancer, maybe even a ballet dancer would be impressed. It was so athletic that it defied nature. I saw him play in high school and knew he was good, but that catch just wasn't good, it was a miracle and a season saver! It's a mark of a great team to come back under those circumstances!

My last regular season game was in 2006, against UCLA. It ended with Brady Quinn and Jeff Smardjia teaming up on a winning TD with 26 seconds left. We had seats next to the ND tunnel, and NBC interviewed the winning duo in the end zone near the tunnel. After the TV interview, the two high fived everyone on our side of the tunnel, including myself and my buddy, Charlie! It was a good day for the Irish!

I've been lucky enough to have seen about a dozen Notre Dame/Navy games at the Stadium! It's an emotional sight for sure! I'm still quite surprised that the Irish covered the 30.5 spread! I didn't realize that Navy's QB was out until gametime, but his replacement played well the first half. The Irish defensive coaches made the necessary adjustments at halftime. And the ND offense is tremendous at this point. Jeremiyah Love has to be mentioned as a Heisman candidate, and maybe even get an invite to NYC. I understand he's not a QB, but he makes Carr's job a whole lot easier. And Jardarian Price ain't too bad either, quite a tandem!

The Colts pull out a 31-25 win in OT, that shouldn't have gone to OT. Too many 4th down misses when a FG should have been the call. The old adage is, you never turn down sure points. Another thought. Now that Tyler Warren played QB today, does that make him more likely to win ROY? He also threw a nice block on the Taylor winning TD. Speaking of Jonathan Taylor, is he going to break the stream of QB MVP winners? If QB's are the only ones that are considered for MVP, why not just name it the MVQ? He's far and away the most valuable player in the NFL! He scored 3 TD's in a game for the 5th time this season. Oh, and he gained a bunch of yards today also. BTW, I've lost my cell phone! If anyone finds a black encased phone on the westside of Indy, near 21st and Country Club Road, it may be mine. It was lost sometime Friday afternoon, around 4:30. Quite impressive for both! Steichen needs to give up the macho fourth down, and settle for FG's. They would have won the game in regulation if he had.

But the Steelers didn't score after the muffed punt.

It was a bump in the road that didn't need to happen. The first quarter sure wasn't difficult on the road. It got tough when JJ strip sacked the QB and he didn't play well for a spell after that. He did come back to form later in the game.

I just purchased my ticket for Friday night. Word is that this game could be a sellout. I'm not sure the size of the New Pal stadium.

Cathedral ended up with a Sagarin SOS of 14, and that includes three out of state games that don't count and games against Southport and Anderson. That means the rest of their schedule was really good. It will be a fun night Friday, that's for sure!

I haven't heard that, but that's quite interesting! The game is at LC also.

Six Colt turnovers, three interceptions and two fumbles attributable to Daniel Jones. The Colts dominated the first quarter, and then Jones was strip sacked and it's been downhill ever since.

It seems that Daniel Jones has reverted back to his Giant days. Hopefully it's just this one game. The Colts haven't won in Pittsburgh since 2008.

I agree! All LN needed to do was tackle him instead of trying to strip him. I guess it could have been inadvertent though. Either way that was one fun game to watch. It will be something to see if LC has anything left for Decatur Central. They were sky high for LN!

Colts down 17-7 at the half at Pittsburgh. Jones with a fumble and an interception. The defense spent the entire 2nd quarter on the field. I hope Jones hasn't lost his mojo!

25-10 final!

It seems the officiating might have woke the Irish up. Jeremiyah Love goes 94 yards for a TD, and the Irish defense seems to have come alive.

The officials have homered up!😡

The Irish drive the field and score, but miss the XP again! 18-10 Three TD's, no XP's!

I'm having 1993 flashbacks! A bogus facemask penalty on a 4th down really helped the Eagles, which led to a field goal. Irish 12, BC 10 late third quarter.

Notre Dame has played its worst half of the season so far. They're up 12-7 at halftime but have fumbled the ball on the five yard line, missed a PAT and a short field goal. And they're playing Boston College!

The latest Sagarin ratings has Cathedral's SOS at #14, down after last night's Anderson game, and New Palestine's SOS is #72.

Not many times will a fumble be a game winner!

Lawrence Central 26, Lawrence North 24 final. LC scores on the final play of the game.

The week off sure helped Cathedral get a bunch of their injured starters back!
