I thought we would win by more, and knew that Leavitt and Skatterbo were talented; but man they exceeded my expectations.  Leavitt has a good career ahead of him.  Hard to tell how Skatterbo will do at the next level, but no one will work or try harder than him.

Bobo should chuck the script. 

#39 - please turn in your jersey and turn the light out on your way out. 

Meanwhile Georgia’s kicker has made 35 straight inside 50 yards and is 21/23 on the year.

ND flipping the field 68 yards after the UGA RZ fumble... only for Stockton to hit a 66 yard play. Wow! Only got a FG though.

Man we really should've used Arch against Georgia more. That +1 in the run game is everything against them

Tide, Ole Miss, and GT gave the road map…we just didn’t read it.

Whoever wins next week in Arlington wins it all IMO.

The tough thing when looking at the bowl games other than the CFP ... who is actually playing vs. who has opted out? How many guys have hit the portal that affects depth. CFB is in a bad spot in meaningless games now IMO

National Defensive POY Kyle Kennard and RB Rocket Sanders opted out for the bowl game. Two of the top 4-5 players for South Carolina.  

The flip side is Michigan had guys opt out, and won. 

 

I may be overreacting but I think some of the Bowl games may become extinct. Worst case all the bowls fade away just leaving those in the CFP rotation.

Appears ND matches up pretty well with the Dawgs

A kick return for TD, and a 13-yard TD drive helps. Otherwise, their offense hasn’t done much. 

Texas might be the lone SEC team come tomorrow…

We’ll see but the dogs aren’t going to just lay down and let ND win this.

Not much offensively outside a couple of QB runs.  Done a good job capitalizing on Dawg mistakes.  We’ll see if that continues now that GA has to be aggressive on offense.  

Looking like the 1-2-3-4 seeds are out before the semifinals, a bit of a surprise at least for # 1 and # 2

And the 5-6-7-8 seeds are in (unless Notre Dame craps the bed).  Hmm, wonder if the extra time off was a factor? I guess Boise and ASU are understandable - both big underdogs - and Georgia just lost their QB and punter in the SEC championship game - and Oregon had a bad matchup, against an angry OSU team that Oregon barely beat at home.

Still, kind of weird.

My opinion having the bye is a huge disadvantage. Too much time off. You face a team with a playoff game under their belt with momentum.

and the highest seeded team still playing

ND might pull this off…

Love Kirby getting burned on special teams

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before. What a crazy playcall!

We gotta take care of business next Friday, But i will be glad georgia’s out of the way because that seems to be the equation sark couldn’t solve this season.

I think Freeman was just trying to get Kirby to burn his second TO, and then would have punted - or called a TO if they couldn’t get them to jump. 

That 1st down might have been game.

While I picked notre dame to win I’m shocked they barely have 200 yards of total offense. Truly winning with defense and special teams 

We have the least physical OL remaining in this playoff.....that has got to change to advance.
