#1 Florida State vs. #2 Auburn - The Final BCS Championship Game Thread

[Deathofthebambino]

I think the Espn News crew would be better served having a play by play guy in there acting as host instead of Luginbill.  For example, they are constantly referring to player's numbers (like #24 who missed the tackle in the flat on the FSU touchdown).  A play by play guy would know the player's name immediately.  He'd also recognize the importance of the penalty when the producer is saying it in his ear, instead of letting the guys yammer on and not interrupting them to tell them why that mattered so much, etc.  Luginbill isn't really serving any purpose at all, whereas someone who knows the game better and teams and players would.  I think a guy like Sean McDonough would have been perfect in this role.

Unless it was egregious, awful job by the zebras

 

[Hambone]

I've gone back on DVR multiple times and there's no angle that shows anything other than the coach being frustrated, but not looking overly angry.

 

[shawnrbu]

Brent said it was a very good call.  Good enough for me.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

  I think a guy like Sean McDonough would have been perfect in this role.

Plus he works with Spielman weekly

 

[Senator Donut]

I think I saw #8 go to the Auburn bench on the all 22

 

[Luis Taint]

Stress level rising

 

[mabrowndog]

Looks like taunting with a double-point toward the Auburn sidelines from Freeman on the far left side away from the play.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Opposite side receiver taunted auburn sideline. Bench his ass.

 

[Yeah Jeets]

How the fuck do you call that in a national championship game?

 

[soxhop411]

taunting…

 

[sachmoney]

"Good job by this Big Ten officiating crew" 
 
High fives all around, guys!

 

[mascho]

Big play.

 

[Dogman]

Looks like taunting with a double-point toward the Auburn sidelines from Freeman on the far left side away from the play.

 
 
Yep and it confirms his stupidity.

 

[DukeSox]

No emotion allowed!

 

[Bergs]

How the fuck do you do call that in a national championship game?

 
Fixed.

 

[twibnotes]

Brent said it was a very good call. Good enough for me.


I was waiting to see an auburn player being body slammed or something.

That kind of taunting, unfortunately, takes place all the time. Terrible call

 

[BigMike]

How the fuck do you call that in a national championship game?

 
25 yards or more away from the sideline he turns and points at them?
 
I don't like that call

 

[RedOctober3829]

That taunt is looming huge here

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Auburn is getting a lot of mediocre plays off of the hurry-up snaps.

 

[Al Zarilla]

How the fuck do you call that in a national championship game?

Sending a message for next September.

 

[mascho]

Nice run.

 

[mabrowndog]

Man, I love weak-side sweeps with a speedy ball carrier.

 

[McBride11]

Didn't they say earlier that #35 basically leads the ball on every run play? Cause it's so damn spot on.

 

[shawnrbu]

4 Down territory?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Yuge 3rd down here, can't leave it up to the kicker.

 

[Dogman]

Big first.

 

[sachmoney]

Someone get Jernigan some oxygen.

 

[mabrowndog]

Huge. Shoving it right down their throats.

 

[twibnotes]

Auburn winning upfront on both sides. May ultimately be the story of the game

 

[mascho]

What do they have, 15 players and 6 coaches signaling in plays and/or dummy calls?

Big conversion. FSU's fatty fat fatty needs to get back in there.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Jernigan and the FSU defense is gassed because they haven't played four quarters all year long.

 

[McBride11]

Interesting insight from TAMU coach on slowing down the offense late in the game - we don't even send in the plays until 14s

[Ed Hillel]

Auburn has barely seen the field and the guy is gassed? That's kind of embarrassing for a college football player.

 

[mascho]

So this is kind of a big play...

 

[Ed Hillel]

Really hate the throw, would have stayed with the run.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

https://vine.co/v/hYEnLrah2OL

 
I think that's kind of weak but also incredibly stupid. Go fucking celebrate with your team.

 

[mascho]

Under center, sprint right option is not what I would have guessed...

 

[Dogman]

He was open

 

[McBride11]

Ohhh man, he had him. Gotta make that throw.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fake it.

 

[Stevie1der]

Jernigan and the FSU defense is gassed because they haven't played four quarters all year long.

Maybe you're just being facetious but that doesn't seem like the type of endurance you could carry over a month long layoff, no?

 

[mabrowndog]

Weak sauce having to settle for 3 there.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Freeman's dumb play is looming large now.

 

[DukeSox]

https://vine.co/v/hYEnLrah2OL

What is that, bow and arrow?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ohhh man, he had him. Gotta make that throw.

 
He was in a full sprint, that's a very very difficult throw. I hate the design there, you gotta go with the read option.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Maybe you're just being facetious but that doesn't seem like the type of endurance you could carry over a month long layoff, no?

No Death is right. They've blown out everyone so the starters haven't had to play 4 quarters all year.

 

[Bergs]

Jameis' Vince Young moment coming up

 
He's gonna go bankrupt?

 

[shawnrbu]

Auburn isn't going to have time to mount a drive if FSU marches for a TD (unless it is like a 5 play or less TD drive for the Noles).  It's up to the Auburn D to hold.
