00:00
Because I had to play Notre Dame highlights today, there just wasn't a way it wasn't going to happen.
00:05
Irish win 27-24, why don't we pick it up.
00:08
Irish down 24-17 with just under 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.
00:14
And take us home from there on ESPN.
00:16
Under 5 minutes to go, 2nd down and 8. Penn State leads by a touchdown.
00:22
Leonard throws wide open!
00:25
Jayden Greathouse avoided Jalen Reed and scores!
00:31
54 yards!
00:33
There's Barker.
00:35
As long as 49.
00:37
Aller hit as he throws!
00:39
And it is intercepted!
00:43
Christian Gray picks it off!
00:46
Graduate student from Salisbury, North Carolina.
00:50
To give Notre Dame the lead in the final seconds.
00:55
41-yard attempt.
00:59
Snap and hold are good.
01:01
The kick is good!
01:04
He's still Irish!
01:09
I brought back so many memories of my childhood, I gotta tell ya.
01:13
I was there with the Holts.
01:15
I was there with Dan Devine.
01:16
I was there with Joe Montana.
01:18
I've seen a thousand games at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, one of the greatest places.
01:23
An institution in sports.
01:25
Not just college football.
01:27
An institution in sports.
01:30
An institution in sports.
01:32
So proud of this team after last night.
01:35
Just a tremendous job by them.
01:37
Did you see Capital One guy there?
01:39
What's in your wallet?
01:40
Did you see him?
01:41
Well, that was the same guy.
01:43
That's the guy that's in that commercial with Jeter and the astronaut that's been pumping everywhere.
01:50
That's the same dude last night that was hanging around on the dais with the Orange Bowl trophy.
01:56
The guy is everywhere.
01:57
It's amazing.
01:58
Here is Marcus Freeman.
02:00
Of course, halftime is where it was the key.
02:03
They were down 10-3.
02:04
Just got a big three points for Manjeli.
02:07
And Freeman said, we knew we needed to change at halftime.
02:10
We got it done.
02:11
We have to be able to run the ball.
02:12
We have to stop the run.
02:13
That's not changing.
02:14
We said that going into the game, and we're saying that at halftime.
02:16
And we had to make some adjustments, which we did.
02:19
We tried to calm some things down.
02:21
And you know what?
02:23
The running attack, the rushing attack, truly helped us open some things in the passing game in that second half.
02:28
And you know what?
02:29
Riley just executed.
02:30
The wideouts executed.
02:31
The O-line did their job.
02:32
Titans played well.
02:33
And you know, you find a way to win it in a game-winning field goal.
02:36
So it was going to be a battle.
02:39
And we didn't have great production the first half, and it was a seven-point game.
02:44
And I told them, we get the ball the first series of the second half.
02:48
And we just got to go out and execute on this play.
02:51
But I wanted them to understand we did not play to our standard in the first half,
02:55
and credit to Penn State for what they did on both sides of the ball.
02:58
But it was a seven-point game.
03:00
It didn't feel like that going into the locker room, but it was a seven-point game.
03:04
And our guys went out there and performed that second half.
03:07
That was the key.
03:08
The thing, you and I talked about it already, is that it was only a one-score game.
03:12
I thought the field goal, I thought what Angeli did was incredible.
03:15
And they were getting physically dominated in the first 30 minutes of that football game,
03:20
without a doubt.
03:22
And, I mean, I was like, they are in trouble.
03:24
At one point I wrote you toast.
03:26
They're in trouble.
03:27
They are getting pushed around.
03:30
But what they did to adjust, and remember, we haven't even talked about the fact
03:34
they lost two of their starting offensive linemen in the first half.
03:38
And those guys were finished.
03:41
And I thought that was something that you had to overcome big time.
03:45
That they put in, they plugged two holes with backups that did their jobs.
03:50
I heard them say the one tackle, oh, he's only done 68 snaps the whole season.
03:56
But he was a senior.
03:57
He has been in football games.
03:59
So he went out and did a hell of a job.
04:01
I thought they did all the adjustments they needed to make it a game in the second half.
04:05
I thought the key to the game for me was the first drive of the second half
04:08
that they went down and scored, and made it 10-all,
04:11
and turned it into a 0-0 game again.
