CFB 2024 Week 14: Pooooooooooooooor aggy

[Brand Name]

The eventual murals and paintings of this game in Athens lore eventually have to have Clean Old Fashioned EIGHT on there somewhere, right?

...and man do I hate Georgia. God this just reinforced that very much all over again.

 

[strek1]

Well that was .... different

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

"Great in eight!" sends Tessitore straight into the broadcasting hall of shame.

 

[soxhop411]

What a format, good job everyone.

God forbid they just play something resembling a real overtime period.

A game of horse with the teams FG kicker would be more entertaining.
First team to make a FG after banking it off all 3 posts wins. I would watch that over this dreck.

He then said something about Georgia ‘dancing’ in or into the CFP. Dude has his major college tournaments confused.

 

[CFB_Rules]

So it used to be that teams just kept playing overtimes until there was a winner. Then LSU and Texas A&M played this monster:

The players wear heart monitors and after the game, both teams shared some alarming data with the NCAA showing that the game simply was not safe. So the coaches tasked the NCAA with coming up with a OT format that would result in as few plays as possible.

 

[Humphrey]

Repeating myself, but Tessitore just fucking sucks.

His overexuberance is too much. And it's considerably worse than last night if he's doing a BC game.

 

[Humphrey]

Of course, when your defense falls apart the last 2 regulation possessions and you're equally defenseless the first time Georgia touches the ball in OT...why don't you roll the dice and go for two after your touchdown?

 

[Mooch]

And the refs have been jobbing you all game…. Agreed. I was screaming at Key to go for two there.

To be honest, we got to see a lot of GT’s best two point attempts. Based on what we saw, I’m confident if they had gone for it they would have lost.

 

[canderson]

OSU might be beat Michigan by 40 today. Michigan is out their two best players

 

[Mooch]

Possibly, but given the talent depth difference between the two teams, I’d rather take my chances on one play than a possible extended series of plays.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Tessitore does WWE now and I think he’s having trouble separating the two sports.

 

[canderson]

14-0 Vandy early - they returned the opening kick for a TD then TN immediately fumbled.

Agreed. The offense was doing fine on first and 10. Goal to go from the three was a tough ask for the Jackets. And the condensed field really helped its secondary, which was helpless in the open field. I was surprised that Tech didn't try some more runs in overtime.

I really dislike the format. I think for triple overtime, I'd like it if they rolled out the old California (I think) HS format. Give one team the ball on the 50 and give them three plays to get as far as they can downfield. Then you turn the ball over to the other team, and they get three plays to get back past midfield for the win.

I like Colorado HS method the best. Ball at 10, 4 downs, go score.

That’s the national overtime procedure for NFHS.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Asking lineman to pull in situations like that always seems so tough.

 

[Ale Xander]

Goalposts in Nashville better watch themselves
Hope there are cops on Jess Neely and Latitude has security.

Vols ripe for the picking, down 10

 

[johnmd20]

Won't Howard.

Jesus that was a terrible pass.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Uh oh, the world famous Ohio State University QB may be hurt significantly.

Hope not.

 

[BigJimEd]

Uh oh, the world famous Ohio State University QB may be hurt significantly.

Hope not.

And the announcer seems very excited about it

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bad offside call against Michigan

 

[johnmd20]

This is the worst case first 20 minutes for tOSU.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Yay Michigan. Go Blue.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Zvada is unreal.

 

[johnmd20]

Zvada is unreal.

Raiders could have used him yesterday.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Barn burner in Amherst.

 

[Al Zarilla]

It was nice while it lasted, Michigan.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Chip Kelly remembered the forward pass is allowed in football.

 

[johnmd20]

1st down run, go nowhere. 2nd down run, go nowhere. 3rd down, pass, first down.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Gus Johnson has Tate, the OSU WR, as a future NFL owner because he’s smart. He’s nothing if not hyperbolic; at least it’s something in the crazy world you can count on.

 

[johnmd20]

Howard is concussed. He's missing SO many throws and killing the team.

Tate is also majoring in Sports Management though.

 

[johnmd20]

Warren is like, "Will, hold my beer."

 

[Al Zarilla]

How can the OSU fans boo the world famous football team?

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Shank

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Day might need to pull Howard to save his job.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Shank

Duck hook. Shank is to the right.

 

[canderson]

This is hideous football

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Duck hook. Shank is to the right.

I stand corrected!

 

[johnmd20]

Really solid execution by tOSU there. Great play on 1st and especially 3rd down.

And a perfect kick by the kicker. I see no problems with those 4 plays.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I stand corrected!

I hit quite a few of each of those playing golf.

 

[johnmd20]

Michigan's scoring drives are a combined 5 yards.

The game is tied.

 

[canderson]

Michigan's scoring drives are a combined 5 yards.

The game is tied.

Michigan’s leading receiver has 14 yards.

 

[loshjott]

Gus Johnson’s horrible today. He’s missing catches and the latest INT. Or staying silent for several seconds after plays because he obviously didn’t know what to call.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Michigan is so inefficient on early downs

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Michigan is moving the ball now.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Field goal range? Go get a touchdown.
