I'm well familiar. Just making a joke. Unfortunately I was born in Florida, fortunately I made it out of there as soon as I could.Dogman2 said:
FBS National Championship Thread - tOSU v. Oregon
- Thread starter FL4WL3SS
- Start date
Elliott: 68 carries, 673 yards, 7 touchdowns combined in the Big Ten Championship, and BCS playoffs. Man o man, did that kid earn some money in the past few weeks. He was a good back this season, but nothing like this. He wasn't even the starter until he busted out with a 182 yard effort against Cincinnati in the fourth game of the year.
You know what's nice though? Not seeing a flag on every incomplete pass or holding my breath for 10 seconds waiting for the obligatory DPI, holding call, etc. The college game is so much better than the current NFL.
Pregame, Lee Corso was really adamant about the team winning the turnover battle winning the game.Dan to Theo to Ben said:
Bosoxen, look at it again. The OSU defender was already off his feet when Mariota released the ball. When he hit Mariota, he was perpendicular with the ground. He basically dove at him. Mariota's own momentum, with the defenders momentum was what drove him into the ground. It was nothing like when Jernigan basically picked up Brady and drove him into the ground yesterday. There was no way to stop himself at that point.
I think Oregon should be thinking about using timeouts on this possession right here. They have to use an onside kick anyway, so this is the last time they can let OSU have the ball anyway. This is the time to use them.
Bosa ducked his head and shoulder when he had Mariota wrapped up. I could buy the momentum argument if he'd let go or not pointed his upper body down in order to drive him down. He absolutely went for the kill shot there.Deathofthebambino said:
What a time for Urban to play conservative. He could have ended the game. Now Oregon will be past the 40 (where they punted) in 2 plays.

Thank you. I would have never known the answer had you and others not clarified it here.
No. But I sure would like to know the origin of the name Cardale.DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:
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.
