      Ah hahahaha Penn State didn’t get a PI call. Sweet karma coz refs didn’t call it against them when their DBs were literally mugging USC receivers every play in OT.

      Did Ohio State go cheap on QB and got this guy instead of getting some other transfer QBs? Oh like that guy in Oregon for instance? He hasn’t impressed me. Throws a pick 6 on his first pass in the game. Choked in winning time against Oregon last week. Just can’t perform in big moments.

        Oof and now he’s fumbled the ball out the endzone for a touchback instead of a TD

      Penn State paid the price for boring football. Down 7, 1st and goal inside 10 yard line, 3 runs in a row straight up the middle. 4th down was a pass down the middle into a crowd of Ohio State DBs. Didn’t even try a jump ball to their big TE.

      Don’t like the 2 QBs PSU was running. Is that something they do often just for misdirection?

        as far as I know they don’t start 2 QBs. the other guy’s a TE. He’s their MVP.

          Damn I missed the TE part. Just them pulling out plays from the back pages I imagine for OSU then?

            It’s them trying to use their best player on offense. That guy (Warren, #44) accounts for a ridiculous about of targets on that team.

        I don’t think so. It’s possibly because Allar is banged up (although he doesn’t look it), but probably to confuse OSU’s defense

      Ohio State QB running in for the score, fumbles at 1.5 yard line, and the ball bounces off his thigh out the end zone for a touch back. This is his 2nd turnover. Both cost Ohio State 2 scores.

      Well, Penn State offense is offensive. Does that count as a stupid play? 😆

      I just hate Miami football crowds. Why are the stands always empty?

        Miami fan here. The problem is that most of Miami’s alumni move to other states. It’s a private school with a small current-student population. The stadium is 30 minutes away from campus. And there’s just too much other stuff to do. I hate it though. We don’t need a 50,000+ seat pro stadium. Give us a small stadium near campus, and it’d be a lot better.

      Yeah. Miami is also a fake top seed. They’ve squeaked by inferior opponents.

      Was out and about a lot in the first half, but between audio and streaming, I have been able to keep up to date more or less, and I’ve been all over the place. This would be a job-saving win for Billy, maybe even more so with Lagway out. Sounds like a bad hamstring, which makes me suspect we’ve seen either all of Lagway this year, or at least the best we’re going to.

      This is realistically the best that could be hoped for after Lagway got hurt, but this is the insidious hold that college football has over a soul. Why should I have hoped at all? Hell, I don’t even really like Billy Napier, LOL.

          Kind of? We have a “GameChanger coordinator” who is the idiotic title of the off-field ST assistant. This year we also have a GameChanger Senior analyst who I guess was well regarded as an assistant for the Patriots, and I understand he is there to have an adult in the room, but it’s still weird.

      We’ve seen Georgia do this this year. No way they’re going to lose to Florida. Not this year.

        You know, you’re probably right, but Carson is trying his best to prove you wrong.

      I guess Beck’s playing like a 5th rounder today. 3rd INT of the day.
