Live from Southern California, this is the Jim Rome show.

Starting with last night's game, wins do not get a whole lot more impressive than what Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish pulled off last night in the Orange Bowl.

On top of that, losses do not get much more devastating than what big game James,

Franklin and Penn State experienced in that game last night.

As I said on X, last night, Marcus Freeman is a ball coach. And this Notre Dame team is as special

as the coach's hairline. Look at a hair line on this guy. I mean,

dumb, man. I said that was dumb. Didn't I? What were you doing? Didn't I say that was dumb?

And somebody like, who cares? What's the big deal? No, no, that was a thing That was a deal. Bad play

Now you are envious of his trip to the Natty. Aren't big game, James? Man, that was dumb.

I said it at the time.

Anyway, make no mistake.

Penn State was in complete control early on.

Notre Dame was in trouble early on.

And in the end, that game still could have gone either way.

That game was still sitting right there on a knife edge,

teetering back and forth in the last few minutes.

But Marcus Freeman and the Irish kept the pressure on

and finally Penn State busted out with a brutal, brutal mistake.

And I'm not here to spend all day dragging Drew Aller,

or as the big head would call him, Drew Alar.

Drew Alar.

But Alar, Drew Alar.
