NCAA GDT: 2018 Season Week 1... Showdown in South Bend

Cody Webster:
In regards to Penn State’s defense, it’s not like they were defensively stout in recent years. They gave up a boatload of points even when they won the Big 10 title game 2 years ago vs Wisconsin (Had to make a big 2nd half comeback against a team that cannot throw the ball).
And the Ohio State game last year that basically cost them a playoff spot (I think they would have made it even with the Michigan State loss).
And the less said about their defense in the Rose/Fiesta Bowls, the better.
When was the last time Penn State had a defensive stud- Tamba Hali?

They always seem to go out of their way to a fault and avoid the cupcake opener. They have scheduled LSU and Georgia this decade in their first game of the season.

I truly hate conference reallignment for the sole reason that it put games like this, Texas-A&M, KU-Mizzou, WVU-Pitt, WVU-VT, Pitt-Penn State, and Nebraska-OU on hold aside from once every few years when a miracle in scheduling allows it to happen. Some of the oldest and most storied rivalries in the college game, all to the wayside because TV money.

Honestly I would love if ND dropped out of the ACC for everything non-Football and joined the Big Ten. They seem to play numerous Big Ten teams in football too anyway. Them playing Michigan/MSU/Penn State/Ohio State etc. is more compelling than against the Tobacco road schools.

Notre Dame is a cash cow as a football independent so that won't happen.

Cincinnati has a freshman quarterback who took over after one series. He might be a decent one.

Michigan player nails ND player in helmet and is flagged for targeting
I don't see how he could do anything there he leads with shoulder and then it appears to be he ducks to try and avoid the contact as ND player is coming down

Little did he know that NBC is the broadcast partner of Notre Dame football.

I know NBC is who broadcast games
Still doesn't mean announcers should be going nuts on national TV and openly cheering them
