They have the talent to do to Ohio state what Ohio state just did to Oregon. Will Howard is no world beater, just gotta find a way to pressure the QB bc those receivers are the real deal.
I don’t think I’ve seen someone improve their draft status in one game like Skattebo did. Not sure where he was projected to go - I still think he won’t pan out BUT you have to take a chance on him now.
Their offense answered OSU's offense each and every time and they struck last. They were able to run the ball and pass protect instead of their O-line being completely dominated. IMO, Will Howard was even scarier in the first game but he ran out the clock on the final play instead of sliding in time, preventing a game-winning FG attempt. It was the only thing he did wrong. I felt OSU was the better team that day even though they lost.
At the end of the day, we are talking about 18-22 year old kids. There is a lot variance in their energy. If you watch any Texas game, you will see the variance half to half. The first half of the Texas Georgia game is a prime example.
NFL teams often have similar variances from half to half and rematches between division rivals are often much different than the first game. IMO, the Michigan loss ignited a fire and intensity in Ohio State's players and staff that Tennessee and Oregon were victims of.
I think he’s a decent college QB with very good receivers and chip kelly calling his plays. IMO there’s no excuse for him to ever play as poorly as he did against Michigan and Penn state with those weapons. He’s very very blah to me.
I think Georgia has had enough time to acclimate the quarterback or adjust their offense to hide/mitigate his flaws. I see them winning by 10 to 14 points. I haven't believed in Notre Dame since they lost to Boston College in 1993.
I think Chip Kelly is the most overrated coach ever. People think he's an offensive genius or something when in reality, he made his name in the Pac 12 where no one played any defense. Ohio State has the most expensive roster in college football. That is why they are winning.
I'm over it. With the way things have gone the past few years... rangers, LA/NYY world series, Chiefs.... It's gonna be Notre Dame OSU championship and Notre Dame gonna pull off the upset. Then we are gonna get a nice Chiefs Eagles rematch with the Chiefs pulling the 3 peat. Duke gonna win cbb Mavericks gonna win NBA. All these smug, sanctimonious college programs my sports hate is at a truly unhealthy level right now.
Good luck jumping on the ND wagon. Penn State going to make you cry uncontrollably. B1G vs. B1G Championship game is what EVERYONE wants to see except a few toothless porch dwellers in the south. "Mavericks gonna win NBA" Bahahahaha!
I would love for Penn State to destroy Notre Dame… in case your Australopithecus brain couldn’t figure that out from my other posts in this thread, I hate Notre Dame. And anyway in the end I ain’t tripping, at least my school wins national championships that writers didn’t have to vote on. And I still have at least 8 of my teeth and only bang my cousins on the weekend.
Might as well just fully root for the OSU vs. PSU Champ game then. If your team isn't in it, you at least want the best Champ game watch possible, & the game that will bring the most hype.
SEC! SEC! SEC! LOL, newcomer UT is now carrying your flag. As a native Hoosier, I feel so dirty for rooting for ND today, but this was a worthy exception.
