FBS National Championship Thread - tOSU v. Oregon

[Infield Infidel]

 
Thank you.  I would have never known the answer had you and others not clarified it here.

actually I was way off. It's really closer to 18 stone.

 

[johnmd20]

It's absurd to go for it.  I wasn't watching the coaches on the other channel at that point, but I would bet money that not a single one of them thought going for it was the right move.  Oregon has an injured QB at best, or a backup QB at worst, they have to go 85 yards when they haven't moved the ball at all lately, and then they have to get an onside kick, and then score again.  Why give them a potentially 30 yard headstart there?  No way.  You have to punt it and make them beat you. 

 
As opposed to a 1 yard run and taking off half the clock or more?
 
By the way, there was a BLATANT hold on that last play.

Bosa is like a mini JJ Watt.

You won't believe how many Oregon fans will blame this tomorrow on the uniforms that didn't incorporate the team colors

 

[Bosoxen]

Punctuation mark there

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Oregon knows they're down fifteen, right?

 

[Infield Infidel]

Freeman has been pretty absent. He's been their best back but tyner is playing more

 

[johnmd20]

Just a beatdown across the board.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

You can't assume they get the first down Johnmd.  Sure, it seemed like they would have given the way they were running the ball, but worst case scenario punting is better than worst case scenario by going for it.
 
And that's why you punt.  Ballgame.

 

[canderson]

Ovah.

Poor man's, maybe?

(i.e., he seems pretty huge)

Really was an odd choice by Nike. I was scratching my head when I first saw them last week.

 

[The Napkin]

35-21

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

wow.

 

[LuckyBen]

I was going for OSU, but I feel bad for Mariota, his team let him down big time.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO9OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Why would you go away from the green? I mean really.

 

[johnmd20]

I wonder what the winning percentages are in college for a 4-0 turnover ratio? It's gotta be 80-90%.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Hoping one more Pacific Northwest football team has a loss in its near future.

Jer$ey $ale$.

 

[twibnotes]

How long does this last before it's vacated?

(Bitter mich fan here)

Gonna need a couple midwestern teams too.

I heard Seattle is going to wear grey Sunday.

 

[canderson]

Recruiting resumes Thursday, look for OSU to steal your school's recruits.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Teams with 4 turnovers were 4-46 this year, I believe.  And I don't think that's teams with a 4-0 turnover deficit.  I think it's teams with at least four turnovers, but may have gotten some themselves.  I'll bet no team that lost 4-0 in the turnover battle won more than a game or two.
 
Edit:  That can't be right.  It must be 4-46 for 4-0 turnovers.  More than 50 teams had four turnovers in a game this season.

This game is a good Launchpad for his pro prospects

 

[LuckyBen]

Gotta kick fg

Couldn't have. This is historic. A dominating game across the board, save for the dropped balls.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Tyner, sophomore. Freeman, freshman. Nelson, freshman. Stanford, sophomore. Baylis, sophomore.

Hats off to the Buckeyes.

You really don't know anything about football if you think what we're watching is Mariotta's fault

 

[StuckOnYouk]

The referee looks like Bob Newhart

 

[The Napkin]

any reason you don't take a knee there?

 

[Grunherz54]

Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck

He said his team let him down.

Not sure you read what you were replying to there

 

[SumnerH]

But seriously, the playoff is awesome. I never watched college football before, but make it 16 teams and watch the carnage. And ratings.

 

[johnmd20]

Because DOMINANCE!

 

[The Napkin]

I kind of wish he had broken his leg running a play. I'm not a nice person though so...

 

[Al Zarilla]

Run it up, yeah.

 

[twibnotes]

Kind of a dick move there by urban, no? I mean not as bad as fostering a stable of hardened criminals but still kind of a dick move

 

[canderson]

-4 turnovers
+3 TDs

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Couldn't take a knee.  Oregon had two timeouts left, so the clock wouldn't have run out.  I did hear the coaches talking about that.  Didn't play Urban at all for going for it.

Yeah you are. You have to understand the need to crush Oregon there.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

PANTS OFF!!!

Gee that might hurt his stellar reputation.

 

[The Napkin]

Oregon wasn't using the TO. Come on, that's crap.

Oregon didn't use those timeouts when they could have though.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

Stop it.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

They used the timeout after first down. 

 

[The Napkin]

Stop it.

No
