OT: College Football Playoffs Quarterfinal Games 12/31-1/1 Tues-Weds
- Thread starter rutgersguy1
- Start date
They actually discussed during the game and 9 or so of OSUs defense were 4th or 5th year OSU guys
Yeah, people are screaming about the OSU Portal players but the bulk of their team is set up with top 5 recruiting classes year in and year out. I believe they took 6 Portal players last year to fill in the few roster holes they had
A team with sparse talent can wallop a more talented team under certain circumstances.
Indeed what makes the upset work is that the talented team is sleepwalking thinking they have the win locked..
I learned that lesson in high school when my weak team beat an undefeated team favored (NYT) to win title.
Before the game I (captain) told team that we were playing a team of rich kids (they were) that thought we were ghetto trash.
I said we needed to go out kick their butts.
Alas even I was shocked about what my scrubby team went and did.
Before 1st was even over, our "special ed" 170lb DT benching 310, broke the ribs of Harvard bound, All-County QB.
Everything snowballed after that as we pushed them up and down the field and stuffed their offense like they = JV.
We only won three games that year
It taught me why politicians can easily use resentment to get votes.
As for RU, the beatdown UConn gave RU in 2011 was example of sleepwalking team expecting a win (and share BE title)
From first series, UConn (4-6) was manhandling an RU team (8-3) that would lose 40-22 (RU getting 12 points in 4thQ)
Same thing happened at SU playing Marrone for first time.
I'm sure Oregon felt good coming into today's game but OSU was primed for revenge

Game summary of the Connecticut Huskies vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights NCAAF game, final score 40-22, from November 26, 2011 on ESPN.
Ohio State hasn't had an opponent called for holding against them in all of conference play and the playoffs! They are 134/134 in opponents' penalties per game. And it's been like that for ~5 years.
One thing I read which is a good point, is that without expansion a team like OSU would’ve been left out and they’re clearly worthy of getting a shot.
Back in NJ for the holidays so I actually had access to legal sports betting. Took Ohio state to win it all +330. Glad to see they finally woke up
Is the Head ref the guy in those progressive commercials ???

ND defense looks good early. Just a PI which was correct but not so egregious. Stuffing the run and pressuring the qb so far.
If yesterday’s hit was running into the kicker, this is the same to me.
Yea they called the same. Consistent interpretation.

Jesus B. Young is horrible at trying to block kicks. WTF is he doing? You aim for two yards in front of the punter and his leg not the man dumbass.
lol now Leonard throwing a deflected pass twice. Defense looked good, other phases playing somewhat boneheaded to start.
Big turnover with UGA having a nice drive down the field. Good hit to knock it loose.

Looked liked UGA was spying Leonard on the last play. If they keep his running under control, not sure how much you can rely on his arm to win the game. Their running game hasn’t gotten going yet either.
Good shot at a TD and momentum stopped off that sideline interference.
Now just a FGA…3-0 UGA

Beat me to it! He be in the portal for all the wrong reasons.
If they win, some good natured ribbing. Now if they lose, especially in a close one, O boy.
No facemask and no defensive holding or PI on UGA, after the PI they called on ND on the first drive which was much more innocuous.
I was thinking it could turn out like this but you never know which team shows up on a given day.
ND has the lead but I feel like UGA has been a little better in the first half.
I hope ND holds on because I want the SEC gone. Hopefully OSU keeps up their dominating ways and takes care of Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
ND capitalizes quick with a TD..like the playaction call on first down… best potential to fool the defense on early downs
BTW UGA has the same number of points at halftime as IU did lol and that was on the road compared to a more favorable southern environment in the Sugar Bowl
If UGA doesn’t come back there will be no conference champions in the semifinals.
Bye weeks might not be so beneficial lol.
