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

[B1GTide]

I missed the halftime coach interviews. Freeman didn't say "maybe OSU doesn't come out in the second half" did he.

No, but he was stunned and seemed like he had no idea what adjustments he was going to make.

What can you do when you're just getting manhandled.

I don’t think anyone, aside Notre Dame fans, is a bit surprised by this one. The championship game was OSU Texas

If Ryan day manages to lose this game then he may have to figure out how to take the MARTA home because he won’t make it to the tarmac or hotel.

I thought ND had a good defense? Been hearing that all week. They got more holes than Swiss cheese right now.

Think I’m done watching this one, final score will probably be 42-10.

Sports are all about matchups. This is not a good matchup for them. They don’t have the athletes to compete on the outside. They struggled to stop USC who is the only other team that had similar type athletes. If you don’t have the athletes you have to control the line of scrimmage and they can’t do that vs Ohio State.

I guess that was just singing to the TV audience. Out on the roof, in the cold? I don't get it.

Yeah unless the open the portal at halftime to let them get some different players not much you can do. They can’t beat Ohio State their only hope is Ohio State beats themselves with turnovers.

Sorry, I forgot the blue font on my post (that’s fixed now). I know why ND sucks and it is a joy to watch!

If he wins though he'll end up going from the outhouse to the penthouse in just a few weeks. There were calls for him to be fired after losing to Michigan yet again, but he's about to climb to the top of the mountain so he'll probably get a raise and praise by some claiming he's now the best coach in college football. I think his contract states that he earns an extra $1M for a national championship.

Why is Milroe rated higher than Howard in NFL draft rankings?

 

[Krymsonman]

OSU needs to keep the pedal down to start this half.

 

[Krymsonman]

Man, OSU's got some slow running backs. They get caught from behind!!

 

[Krymsonman]

Notre Dame had 8 guys up near the line there. You get past that, you're gone. (or almost gone)

Why is Milroe rated higher than Howard in NFL draft rankings?

Because Howard is considered to already be playing around his ceiling but Milroe isn't and potentially has a higher ceiling so 'they can fix him'.

Howard doesn't have holes in his ceiling though while Milroe's has insulation falling out of his and rats running everywhere.

Oh and NFL GMs and Draft Analysts are stupid.

Why is Milroe rated higher than Howard in NFL draft rankings?

Because he is Mac Jones. You can look really good with lot of weapons. He doesn’t have the arm strength like you need in NFL.

Sorry what? poor comparison...Jones is a capable passer....Milroe can throw it 90mph and 70+yds....just not to a receiver. lol

This is true. He can make most of the throws, but not the throws to the sideline that have to be on a rope in the NFL.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

This is getting ugly fast.

tOSU might beat them worse than we did in 2012/13

Congrats @B1GTide and what a turn around for Day in the last month.

Shhhh, the draft is not over yet.

 

[CrimSonami]

Well that was dumb!
