Game Thread: CFP Playoff NC Game - Ohio St vs Notre Dame (ESPN @ 730p EST)

[Bpilktree]

If O’Day is accurate that is the 1st offensive holding call made on Ohio State opponent since September. I am not sure that accurate but what he said on media day.

 

[CrimsonNagus]

This SEC crew just called a hold! How can that be?

 

[Krymsonman]

There’s a reason. They can’t do Bama or Auburn games because of Steve Marlowe being a Bama grad.

Same with David Smith's crew. The two best crews in the SEC and they can't do BAMA games.

Both these teams are very senior laden on both lines. Ohio State starts 2 seniors and 2 5th year seniors. I think the experience of both these teams is the main reason both are here. Lots of seniors and gives in there 5th and 6th years on both sides of the ball.

I don’t care if they are 20th year seniors, Alabama has lost its physicality at the line of scrimmage. The coaches don’t teach proper technique and the evaluation of incoming talent has missed terribly.

Prove me wrong.

That's more like what I tuned-in to see. I want ND's players to be begging for mercy by the 3rd Quarter.

Still, OSU has more depth. ND's starters are going to be gassed after the 1st half.

A score here would put pressure on the methodical Irish offense.

The windchill is 13° in Atlanta right now.

Why are these big powerful teams from up north afraid to play the ball game outdoors, in Bobby Dodd stadium in the same city? I mean, do they think it never gets this cold down south as well?

You see, they’re playing indoors.
warm weather, southern something.

Kurt Warner on a podcast/ show had a very good point about cold weather games and their "value'

 

[Krymsonman]

I guess we are going to see how many hits this ND QB can take.

He is tough - has been taking them all season.

 

[smith5753]

I think this game is over

 

[selmaborntidefan]

agree

I was gonna root for Ohio State until I heard O’Day crying about the referees even before the game started in media day. How the officials are against his team all year and he expects same tonight. Then I watched Marcus Freeman interview and just his positive attitude towards game and team and will root for them instead.

I hear you, but I wouldn’t pull for ND if my father was their head coach.

 

[rtr90]

Might be the shortest champ game I have watched .. this looks done

 

[selmaborntidefan]

I don’t know, you don’t think your dad could deliver a great win one for the Gipper speech?

I mean, isn’t that really all there is to coaching at Notre Dame?

 

[Krymsonman]

Looks like ND has decided they have to stop the run above anything else. OSU will make them pay for that.
