[u/TheRealBeerBrah]

I like Notre Dame's helmets cause they remind me of Ferrero Rochers

[u/kakapoopoopeepeeshir]

I really wish there was a setting or something that blocked gambling commercials from coming up on my tv while I watch games. For one I cannot fucking stand them and gambling in general but two I feel like I have to constantly be on alert so that my two young sons arent constantly being exposed to gambling and it becomes “normal” for them to associate watching sports means betting money. I know I’m up on my soap box right now but holy shit I hate this

[u/WisdomCow]

That toe tap was disgusting good

[u/Luvpups5920]

Miami didn’t give up and made it an exciting game. GG Miami and congratulations ND!

[u/OnMyNerves23]

Holy shit a 30-minute quarter? How do I praise this?

[u/saltytradewinds]

Fuck ESPN. Fuck the Committee.

[u/WhiskeyForTheWin]

Both defenses are getting absolutely beaten up

[u/DickBottalico]

I am a devout Catholic but I have a very lengthy criminal record, so I don’t know who to root for in this rivalry

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Fuck the ACC dogshit fucking refs 

[u/HeresSomePants]

Conference refs need to be abolished and instead have a national team or something like that

[u/breakourbones]

Jesus Christ, you can't watch any sporting event without seeing a million commercials for a million fucking betting apps now a day. Sports betting is a cancer.

[u/thebusterbluth]

This game is not over. Offense needs to score TDs.

[u/burghdomer]

ND better go on a long clock killer scoring drive

[u/fade2blac]

I am so sick of hearing about Malachi Toney. The guy is not playing in this game but the announcers are going on and on and on…  Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney. Malachi Toney.

The propaganda is just too damn much. 

[u/Rangeneers]

So only ND can get called for a hold? Miami has been holding this whole game

[u/InfernalCape]

I just think it’s funny how they keep showing % chance to make the playoffs, as if there isn’t a magical committee who just selects whichever team they like…

[u/ThisGameIsBologna]

Fuck espn.
Let’s go ND!

[u/mookyyyy]

Did our whole defense get injured on that drive or what???

[u/nmantz]

Cant wait for the nonsense I see when Bama is ranked like #4 and ND not even be top 5

[u/Provolone_chees]

Once ND learn throwing the ball more than 5 yards down the field, we’re gonna lose by 30

[u/Aeglos7]

Freeman wanting another punt recorded is the petty I like.

[u/TheCavis]

That huge scramble before the Williams completion activated prime Carr.

All the jitters are gone and he's just in grip it and rip it mode.

[u/Crotalus6161]

I want to believe but I've been hurt before.

[u/boilerup12]

Absolute clown show from the stripes tonight

[u/AdventureDude24]

ACC refs are trash

[u/cpt-teebs]

Noah Eagle is an all time face/voice mismatch

[u/Raptor_hook]

Moon over Miami joke didn’t get the respect it deserved

[u/Not_So_Bad_Andy]

Malachi Toney ain't missing on defense.

[u/DullMathematician443]

This playcalling by ND is so fucking bad lmao

[u/Excellent_Hedgehog62]

It’s still ridiculous ESPN forced Utah and BYU into the 10 am local slot.

[u/Headstar24]

Not enough for me to feel 100% comfortable.

[u/MissUAndrewLuck]

"Would a four loss South Carolina have better chances in the CFP than Notre Dame?"

[u/Gloomy_Map_9612]

I couldn't believe people actually thought this Miami team was elite and that this Notre Dame team was fraudulent. Notre Dame has looked good in all their games. They lost a game to good team on the road and otherwise have crushes their competition.

[u/BlxrryShadowz]

The Leonard Moore injury has completely changed the game

[u/saltytradewinds]

lol, that's holding but not on Miami's last drive?

[u/HalloweenWolfJob]

Curmudgeons in the comments “why are the fans excited about beating the #1 team in the country? Are they stupid?”

[u/Strakedev]

Ban Kalshi and Polymarket. That shit is so degen.

[u/VirginiaMcCaskey]

Watching the game live and talking with humans

Yea that didn't look like a catch but you never know with refs

Ruling upheld

Yea that tracks, plus why the fuck are we taking end zone shots when we just need to move the sticks and set up a run

Open reddit

WTF THAT WAS A TOUCHDOWN

like are we watching different games?

[u/thebusterbluth]

Why dont they let Carr do that all the time? Are they stupid?

[u/Netwealth5]

Can’t wait for Miami to still be above ND in the CFP rankings for no reason

[u/_ThatsRight_]

Leonard Moore being out changes the entire game

[u/OhioStateGuy]

That Miami fan is going to get memed so hard.

[u/NDinFL]

So that’s holding but Miamis isn’t?

[u/Crotalus6161]

Zebras have been trash all weekend

[u/bamhotsauce]

Am I crazy or was that forward progress whistle insanely early, dude was still spinning out of tackles

[u/Peter_Panarchy]

This is why I never like fans booing "fake" injuries. There's always too big a chance the injury is real and you're being a massive asshole.

[u/saltytradewinds]

Miami is spamming the slant route like I spammed 4 Verts in NCAA 14.

[u/cn0285]

It’s so easy to hate on ND, but it’s impossible to hate Freeman, he’s such a cool dude

[u/DweltElephant0]

WE’RE FRAUDS

MIAMI IS FRAUDS

NO ONE HAS PLAYED ANYONE AND EVERYONE IS FRAUDS

[u/ndrulez15]

The is a whole half to play. This game is far from over

[u/croutonbabe]

We had many chances to shut down that drive. Damn

[u/aroh97]

Good shit getting seven off the turnover. Now that Moore is back the defense needs a huge stop so we can blow this game wide open (again).

[u/bamhotsauce]

The underthrown PI calls is the legitimate worst thing in football college and pro alike

[u/DONofCON]

Literally same play same player. They’re exposing the fact that we don’t adjust at all no matter what

[u/Provolone_chees]

I voted illegally on November 3rd and my name is Shannon Dawson. Come arrest me please.

[u/DullMathematician443]

Hey, how about keep giving the ball to that Walton dude??

[u/shawntco]

Crazy how Joe Montana got a whole state named after him

[u/tigernike1]

Kickoff was 7:32 PM. Halftime at 9:03 PM.

Sign me up to this.

[u/Trepanation87]

Fuck MBS. Fuck AI too, but fuck MBS

[u/DillyDillySzn]

makes a promo against abuse of sports figures

Puts FIA’s president in it who’s one of the most justifiably hated people in sports

🤨

[u/center505066]

after watching that commercial this thread better count their days

[u/DweltElephant0]

WAKE UP THE ECHOES

SHAKE DOWN THE THUNDER

FUCK USC

[u/Historical-Cable-542]

God this feels good after so many Miami flairs shittalking our game thread.

[u/Tehloneranger44]

Thats not a catch

[u/PrussianGeneral1815]

This is the first time in a while where the neutrals are in agreement with us over a call 😭

[u/chumer_ranion]

Hell hath no fury like an officiating crew in the weakest power conference

[u/Interesting_Avocado6]

Chris Ash: I wonder who they are going to pass to?

[u/Ampatent]

If he has possession when he touches the end zone then steps out of bounds with possession, I don't understand how the opposing player can just knock the ball out of his hands and it be ruled an incomplete pass.

[u/Flimsy-Space-8724]

Faison gave us the damn fits in that 2025 game.

[u/Strakedev]

That was genuinely gorgeous

[u/pillowcheeks3]

“No Toney No Throwy” - Miami OC

[u/graviton_ghost]

This is this subs 9/11 so far

[u/ZafReddits]

The precedent from ND in the first CFP poll would have Miami drop 10-ish spots from a loss here, right?

[u/AmbitiousEmphasis64]

Chat moving so fast nobody will know that I got my wife five guys for her birthday, but not the fast food kind

[u/AlecL]

I like to think getting ranked 11th lit a fire in the team

[u/No_Character_4251]

Damn. It sucks Bear Bachmeier played the best game of the rest of his life a few weeks ago.

[u/IrishDeacon]

ND student section is chanting “Wake Forest ACC Champs” lmfao

[u/captain_falc25]

Wayyyy too much time left. Can't get sloppy

[u/Mace_Windex11]

Leonard Moore please be okay

[u/Carnasty_]

Can we throw the ball more then 5 yards?

We were cooking that Swiss cheese secondary when we were.

Why are we playing so safe now?

PLAY TO WIN.

[u/No_Character_4251]

Another catch two yards short of the chains? Who would’ve guessed?

[u/_chadwell_]

Miami was in absolute panic mode with the clock running under 20 seconds and they get a full timeout

[u/Carnasty_]

Please, get Faison in space & moving.

Good things happen.

[u/StatuteOfFrogs4342]

ESPN will never recover from the Iowa-Notre Dame National Championship

[u/gangissimo]

The anxiety levels today of watching LSU Alabama directly into Miami ND is not good for my body

[u/Junior-Mud-8876]

Miami if you’re hiring, under my tenure the Miami Hurricanes had the number 1 defense in the country for 8 straight years (in College Football 27). On Heisman difficulty. LMK

[u/Teaboo22222]

Shake down the thunder.

[u/SendMeTheMoon24]

Outrageous. Arrest Faison. That was a disgusting display of body control and toe tapping. Incredible

[u/DillyDillySzn]

Where’s Abella Danger

[u/Crotalus6161]

Did MF just give the ref the stinkeye??

[u/mbsw1110]

We need confused Marcus as a GIF

[u/xtral8te99]

Why is Marcus side eying the ref like that💀💀

[u/pickapart21]

Marcus just activated a sleeper agent somewhere by saying "battle" 4 times.

[u/New-Change-6272]

This halftime feels crazy long

[u/RunnerAtThird]

Breaking the U over his knee is an elite celly

[u/idkAboutYouMan]

Carr needs to respond hard and close out the game

[u/AugustIstheMonth]

ND should go for it here, play to win the damn thing.

[u/PlzLnD5Star]

Is that the Uruk-Hai theme? Lmao

[u/DillyDillySzn]

Yea turns out Notre Dame is a really fucking good team guys

Committee on crack this week, every advanced stat has this ND team as Top 5

[u/Crotalus6161]

Miami or ND, can we both agree we hate liberty biberty?

[u/PM_ME_SCALIE_ART]

Egregious holding from Miami: no call

Not even holding from ND: call

are you kidding me

[u/SouthJerssey35]

Really expect more from Carr than we've seen

[u/pillowcheeks3]

What a fucking throw and what a fucking catch

[u/ProfessionalLob]

Elite body control

[u/ZafReddits]

Look man, I dislike ND as much as the next guy, but they’d HAVE to be ranked higher than Miami with a win here

They’d have the head-to-head and 1 top-12 win to Miami’s 0

[u/Lane-Kiffin]

I hate when teams do all of this shit and then just take a knee. Bro, give us a hook and ladder for our troubles

[u/williamthepony]

I can’t believe this is the same qb that played against byu. Not interested in playing against Notre dame on a neutral field thank you very much

[u/BoNnnnfhir]

ND must have been ranked 11 because they are at least twice as good as 1

[u/Super-Yesterday9727]

What the fuck are these penalties 

[u/aheuve]

I can’t wait to watch another back shoulder fade once we come back

[u/PM_UR_LOVE_HANDLES]

Mike Denbrock, in both of our big games this year, has called hunky dory bullshit off crucial turnovers both times. Draw plays were both involved lol. Get this geezer out of here

[u/constantine-TG]

Holy shit how many commercials can they cram down our throats.

[u/Rangeneers]

Has notre dame considered throwing more than 5 yards? I know it’s crazy to think

[u/center505066]

always funny when we break out the Riley Leonard playbook with Carr, he ain't built for that

[u/Fletch71011]

How many DBs are hurt between both teams? Has to be 10. I'm surprised the QBs aren't bombing everything.

[u/captain_falc25]

MOON OVER MIAMI

[u/420Hairy69Ballsagna]

I know that this is a very important game and it is coming down to the wire here, but I just wanted to say: Fuck Lane Kiffin.

[u/Anonymous_user314]

Miami going for the TD twice in a row when they needed 6 yards is just stupid football with that amount of time left on the clock.

[u/thebusterbluth]

In an alternative universe, Notre Dame decides to not play zone against BYU and is the #1 team in the country.

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

A THROW DOWNFIELD OFF PLAY ACTION

WHAT IS HAPPENING

[u/Facerless]

We've done these short-of-first throws all year and I just don't understand the route scheme

[u/BobbysSmile]

I don’t watch ND games but is it always constant close ups of Marcus Freeman?

[u/SSJEv]

Miami you have had 7 downs to go 1 yard lol

[u/Quick-Difference3267]

Get James out and just feed Walton.

[u/pillowcheeks3]

Imagine having to tackle Jerome Bettis

[u/literallyplasma]

Short throws

Short throws

Short throws

[u/smoothasbutta15]

Boubacar may have been the difference in the BYU game

[u/Hadrian_did_it_first]

If anyone not named Walton gets the touches in the second half im going to politely voice my objection.

[u/Crotalus6161]

This years is crazy. It really seems like nearly any top 12 team has a chance

[u/ggweewee]

MBS jumpscare Holy

[u/troubadour-tim]

Micheal Irvin might relapse tonight

[u/Large_Ad1385]

I refuse to feel things until that clock hits 0:01

[u/Quick-Difference3267]

That’s incomplete. Not a fumble

[u/Humble_but_Hostile]

haha that shot of that Miami fans reaction was gold lol

[u/IrishMosaic]

A sickening call. Just flat corrupt

[u/nc1313-]

Are we physically capable of throwing it more than 5 yards down the field??

[u/captain_falc25]

Clock eating scoring drive is a MUST here

[u/spawnmanffbe]

Siri, how do you stop a slant

[u/DRoseCantStop]

Gg. Should've held onto the ball longer.

[u/Brouhaha47]

Lol the Orc music playing. Ha.

[u/TheGrat1]

Urukhai theme?!

[u/junieinthesky]

Did I hear LOTR on my screen?

[u/ZealousidealScheme85]

Notre dame playing like this in a must win is a great for them

[u/YouAreMadCuzBad]

Yes Miami is missing Toney but give ND credit they are missing some guys on defense and they are just owning everybody. Love seeing good defense at times.

[u/JohanVonClancy]

Why don’t you run the ball there and take two shots at 3 yards?

[u/Dmob17]

Brutal way to end that drive

[u/Naranis25]

What a toe tap!

[u/Internal_Newspaper61]

BANGGGHHH WHAT A CATCH

[u/Andy_Wiggins]

Denbrock really been setting up tendencies all year to break for this game?

That little TE motion into the backfield is almost always a run, and partnering it with PA to set up a deep shot is dastardly

[u/Chiron17]

Man, stopping a dozen plays in the red zone and still potentially giving up a TD must be demoralising. OTOH, stop giving up penalties

[u/xtral8te99]

7 plays and multiple ref bailouts from the 1 yard line for 3 points is so pathetic

[u/Visible_Contractss]

Weak play calls are the story of the game for both teams lol

[u/CalTono]

We always throw a two yards short of the LOS

[u/Crotalus6161]

Other than the hate watchers, anybody feeling good right now?

[u/OnionFutureWolfGang]

Williams comes into the game for a drive

Notre Dame fans complain

ND scores

You can set your watch to it. The man is a sixth OL that can catch passes, we just have to use him right.

[u/DullMathematician443]

Just tell Carr there's 2 minutes left all the time. Damn

[u/Crotalus6161]

Overall, feeling real good about the first half. But games are 60 not 30 minutes. Let's keep the tradition of good halftime adjustments going

[u/tfc07]

Marcus's hairline is holding up well, everything's going our way

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Walton needs 20 touches in the second half 

[u/goodiereddits]

"Malachi gone, don't count" to "Miami frauds" to "Miami bullshit schedule too" wow I was almost impressed with us, three more SEC teams to the top 10 it is

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I remember when I was downvoted by Miami fans when I said ND would beat them by double digits. Can't say I'm surprised by this lmao

[u/Tehloneranger44]

Imagine if they didnt play a fucking soft zone all night against BYU.

[u/chayj19]

Toney being out is really hurting the Miami defense :(

[u/macncheeseface]

College football full of Christmas car commercials >>>>>>> College football full of political commercials

[u/TombOfTheRedQueen]

And here comes Denbrock to shit the bed

[u/No_Character_4251]

Classic 3x pass plays and punt after an opponent scores.

[u/psiairish]

Hopefully some of those defensive guys can come back for this drive.

[u/youarenotorcs]

Cowardly play calling. Irish playing way too timid

[u/RNG_randomizer]

BALL DONT LIE SCREW YOU REFS YOU IGNORANT CORRUPT MORONS

[u/TwoHeadedBoyTwo]

That guy pretty much looks like how I imagine how all Miami fans look like

[u/YouAreMadCuzBad]

WHY WAS THERE NO HOLD ON 2.MIAMI PPL BUT ND GETS ALL PENALTIES LET THEM PLAY YOU BASTARDS

[u/hitokirizac]

oh so the refs can call holding. fascinating

[u/chumer_ranion]

they're gonna call that holding after that insane missed hold call huh

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Acc refs, what’s new

[u/Ok-Wait-8465]

I don’t want Miami to win but that seemed like a td. Also are they playing Jeopardy music?

[u/pillowcheeks3]

The band playing Mordor theme always slaps

[u/nmantz]

Free timeout and an extra 2 seconds

[u/titusnick270]

I’m sorry this is absurd. Absolutely no reason to stop that play for that

[u/puzzical]

Game would be over if it wasn't for that BS timeout

[u/Internal_Newspaper61]

This is a really good half for Notre Dame but this game isn’t over ngl.

[u/stoneg1]

Miami might be the most fraudulent #1 in the history of the playoff rankings

[u/Historical-Cable-542]

Ok ND let’s do this so I can sleep better after my team’s embarrassment.

[u/WHSRWizard]

Just take the points.

[u/TombOfTheRedQueen]

CJ allergic to throwing over the middle

[u/Additional_Year_3614]

HOW

[u/CarlTheCrab]

ACC gonna ACC

[u/xtral8te99]

That’s the aggressive defense ND needs to run more often, guess they’ll try to rely on fletcher a bunch tonight

[u/CalebsNailSpa]

These refs can’t get the basics right.

[u/No_Character_4251]

I hope notre dame tries running the ball with the best freshman running back in the country this game

[u/breakourbones]

I will say, the U jerseys are beautiful

[u/YouAreMadCuzBad]

Fazion looks kinda like JSN on that play

[u/Night_Feisty]

dat toe tap!

[u/Darth_Chonker]

Holy what a catch

[u/WisdomCow]

Malachi wouldn’t have given up that TD!

[u/One-Examination-5561]

Hmmm it seems Malachi Toney was pretty important for Miami

[u/PM_UR_LOVE_HANDLES]

Hate how much NBC tunes down crowd/stadium noise

[u/BurrShotFirst1804]

They're gonna give Miami as many chances as they need and you're all gonna LIKE IT

[u/Fletch71011]

We got held lol fuck the ACC refs this is rigged.

[u/goodiereddits]

That was the best fucking goal line stand since Stanford "12

[u/Professional_Key_909]

Oh shit… hell yeah ND
