Game Thread: CFP Semi #1 | LSU vs OU (4p ET | ESPN)

[Tider n LA]

Tackle out of bounds clearly... and not called

I would say something but crimson audio might suspend me.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

This thread is weird - LSU is clearly the better team yet so many are acting like LSU has the refs in their pocket.

OU looks like garbage so far, they're lucky they got seven.

Sure, there was a blown call on that missed PI call, but otherwise LSU is just flat-out beating OU.

There's not necessarily an inconsistency there. There's been more than one blown call...

Starting to wonder if there is a Godzilla movie on one of the UHF stations.

 

[BAMAVILLE]

Do they ANY quick pass plays?

 

[TideEngineer08]

FIFY

LOL, well I gave up on the NBA 20 years ago.

 

[Tide&True]

If LSU marches down and scores here...game over.

E. all of the above

OU does a great job of making LSU look like an NFL team.
Edit: a good NFL team

 

[Virginian]

The biggest CFP era blowout in terms of the largest number of points put up by one team was Oregon's 59-20 victory against the Noles in the 2015 Rose Bowl. So LSU has just 38 points to go.

 

[RTR2u]

Well, if OU only goes 3 and out for every series the game is definitely over.

 

[Krymsonman]

but before that, the ref announced OU was taking timeout. Timeout was taken, then review, then not charged.

I did hear the announcers say OU was taking a time-out for a review. The only reason I can think they got the time-out back was the officials must have told him they were already looking at it.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Do they ANY quick pass plays?

There are 3 or 4 white jerseys in the backfield on every single play. They've got to do something like this or they are dead.

 

[BamaNation]

Blind side targeting?

 

[RTR2u]

How lucky can you be???????????

 

[OSUTideFan]

someone tell the OU band to shut up!!!

 

[CrimsonNagus]

I don’t care what anyone says, OU is not a playoff caliber team, weren’t last year either. They play in a weak league that doesn’t play defense and they get blown out when they face a real defense. At some point that has to be considered by these committees. This is also why I will always oppose an expanded playoff that includes auto qualifiers for conference champs. There are a handful of top fifteen teams that would put up a better fight than this, including both teams from this state.

 

[crimsonaudio]

That HAS to be targeting, otherwise I'll never understand the rule.

 

[TideEngineer08]

How stupid do you have to be to get a blindside block foul as a defender?!

 

[rgw]

When you decide to cheapshot a eligible receiver instead of tackling the ball carrier. This is goose is cooked.

 

[Bazza]

That was a dirty play - regardless of targeting.
