I mean, tOSU is apparently a QB factory. That throw was better than any I've seen today and he's a WR?

Because the fucking official was hovering over center and pointing to something -- yet the clock kept running. Ineptitude by the refs.
Yet the fucking announcer kept blaming it on Jones even though it was clearly obvious the ref was holding up play.

Plus, in the second half one of these announcers is going to fuck Alabama's punter on air, which will be some Black Mirror shit.

Ohio State isn't just keeping this close, they are pretty much dominating this game.  They have 348 yards of total offense to Bama's 140.  They have 18:17 TOP to 11:43.  Except for those turnovers and two red zone trips that they only got field goals on, this game has been all Buckeyes.

The ref was holding up the play because tOSU substituted, and even in college the D has to be given a limited chance to counter that. Blame the coaching staff.

LOL ...  Bama QB runs the wrong direction off the field after taking a knee.

I agree, but it had nothing to do with Jones and the announcer kept saying he wasted time.

This broadcast had been terrible so far. Missed yardages, wrong analysis, etc.

Yep, and the fact that Meyer clearly isn't comfortable with this QB going up tempo is why they are not leading this game.

Typical ESPN coverage if you ask me.

What an amazing catch! The body control to turn the foot parallel to the sideline is incredible.
I mean, he knew he had to get his foot parallel to the line to be inbounds, but after that isn't it mostly good fortune that his foot was exactly in the right place? Ah, forget it, marvelous play.

This is a coaching battle. And Meyer is currently out-coaching Saban. Meyer appears to have marginally less size and speed (except at QB - that dude is fucking huge), but is making all the right moves. Saban is indeed shaken. Great game so far.

Yeah, he hasn't been letting him challenge the secondary either. Imagine where they'd be if they challenged that Bama secondary consistently from the outset.

Tebow and the guy on the other end look like they got their (cheap) suits off the same rack.
 
I liked how Tebow was climbing out of his seat and yelling twice as loud as everyone else.

Halftime at 11pm. What about the children?
You think the networks care?

How do you give the team back to Barrett next year after a performance like this?
 
Big overreaction for basically 1 good quarter + 1 drive.
