What if? If 15-yard penalty called on Beaux Collins, good chance ND is 0-1
Hypothetical, of course, and we can play the if game on a number of calls. But this was an egregious miss by the officials.

Level 1
Penalties almost cost us the game anyway
They have to work on that . How do you get off sides on defense so many times? All you have to do is watch the ball ! They teach you that in High School ! We were very lucky to get the W.

It would was a momumentaliy stupid play
Hopefully the coaching staff will work on that with him.

Level 2
Freeman worked on it right away
He spoke with him in a calm, collected manner, and cooled him down. You could almost see Collins growing up on the sideline, and the respect that he has for Coach Freeman.
As a veteran player who was basically stuck as a WR2 / WR3 at Clemson, he has a chance to really shine here, and yesterday's mental development may just be that kick in the rear he needed.

It was an incredibly poor lack of maturity & judgment that could have changed the game.

Level 4
Agreed, but at least Freeman gave him another chance
You could see him having a heart to heart chat with Collins on the sideline, and Collins did look truly remorseful. Freeman was direct, and blunt, but at no time did he scream in Collins' face, or at least from what I saw.
Collins came back from that stupid mistake, and had a very good game overall. He showed good route running, great hands, and very good speed, along with a willingness and ability to block.
I can guarantee you that Collins was feeling fantastic after the game, and not feeling like an untouchable caste member in Indian society.
With that kind of growth and development, I think he can be a very good WR1, probably the best one since Chase Claypool in 2019.
Brian Kelly would have gone into Purple Hulk mode, and given the "Hulk Smash" screaming berating, and probably benched him for the rest of the year like he did with Kevin Austin.
I'm not exaggerating on the WWBKD guess, either.
