OT: NCAA College Football Bowl Season Games (CFP not included) 12/17-1/4

Took Washington a 100 plays to score a TD in red zone so after TD they go for two and fail.
So many geniuses
Be careful, there are other graduates of Hanover Park HS on this board.
BTW, watching Illinois vs. South Carolina. Shane Beamer is a body double for Hunter Biden.
 
Why do these coaches call for a 2 point try instead of kicking for 1 and playing overtime? Two teams tried to win with a conversion and both lost.
 
I love the Sun Bowl

Please get this Big 10

Isn't the Sun Bowl one of the truly local bowls that gets the city engaged and a majority of the attendance are locals?

Mayne it's different now but I remember that being a note of distinction from other bowls and how it's a good model.

Why was Bielema taunting Beamer with the substitute signal?

Got busy so missed the end of those games but I don’t think going for 2 is necessarily bad idea to win or lose it on one play, depending on how it was going.

Plus it’s a bowl game so what the hell, throw caution to the wind. Also you could end up going for back and forth 2 point tries in OT so why not take your 2 point shot now and end it if you can.

Nobody is posting this, but Breamer went over and patted the Illini player and pretty much told him to get up, insinuating he was fine. So Bielema took his time and trolled him with his earlier whining about substitutions.
Thanks for the context, missed a bit of the game. I’ve read things about Beamer being a prick on top of the Wakey Leaks story so he can pound sand imo.

He should be used to it with Kiffin in the SEC and the fake injuries Ole Miss has had this year lol. Plus if you don’t like slow subbing you as the offense have to sub quicker, that’s the way the rule will be enforced.

A few thoughts on the Louisville-Washington ending:

1) The 2 point conversion failed only because the Louisville safety made a GREAT play. He anticipated the play, left the man he was assigned to cover, darted toward the open intended receiver, leapt, and barely got a hand on the pass. The receiver was SO open - until he wasn't. You could see the Washington sideline starting to celebrate - until they stopped.

2) The Louisville safety followed up his great play with a bonehead one. Not sure exactly what he did, but he got flagged for TWO dead ball unsportsmanlike penalties - and both were enforced! This meant that Washington's ensuing onside kick (there were still nine seconds left) would take place not from the Washington 35, but from the Louisville 35. So if Washington could recover the onside kick, they'd only need a medium range field goal to steal the win.

3) The Washington kicker then made the best onside kick that I have ever seen. Diagonally toward the sideline, took the big hop exactly at the right moment. Absolutely perfect. So much so that the Washington player at the end of the line got to that big hop, at chest level, precisely 10 yards down field, at full sprint. If he could catch it, the Huskies could steal the win. But he couldn't. A teammate then had a chance, but he couldn't corral it either, and the ball was knocked out of bounds to seal the Cardinal win.

What an action packed nine seconds!

Would be nice to see Duke beat Ole Miss and shut Kiffin up. Don’t know who is sitting out for both teams though.

I think Duke’s qb went into the portal. They got the qb from Tulane for next year.
