And the TKO goes to ND. PS was stronger at the line of scrimmage on both sides but Allar threw it away and ND made the clutch throws. PS with no passing game.

Hey Phil Martelli could coach!

I don't like either team, but it looks like ND has too many injuries to stay in this one for the whole game.

ND is getting pounded and are very lucky to only be behind a touchdown at half. Didn't think this year's squad would get out physicalled. The PSU TE is an absolute beast.

Michigan finished 3-17 in the BIG last year. That is how fast things can change in this free transfer era.

First round to Penn State - playing some serious old-fashioned football. All ground game (Allar trying to play himself out of the NFL tonight). Defense minding all the gaps and very quick to the ND backfield and the ball.

Northwestern in many respects is not that different from ND. Founded 10 years apart, in the Midwest, similar enrollments, private research institutions, both ladies of a lake. Except for the Catholic thing, but NU is firmly Methodist (just walk around Evanston), who just happened not to have a Vatican. At the turn of the 19th Century, NU clearly had the superior football team. Then something happened--Knute Rockne, the four horsemen, etc. for 13 years in the 1920's. This took hold on the American psyche, and led to a century of ND football pomposity (keeping in mind the Vatican). But NU still has a chance. Never forget, "It's all right, it's okay, you will work for us some day." If NU ever gets great at football again, we will own pomposity.
