If that was a bad game I’m really curious what would ever meet your criteria for a good CFB game.
Jeez, I said exciting and poorly played.
ETA, well, I said “exiting”
Ok, you are correct. I misunderstood which play you were referencing. Sorry!
“Poorly played” is and was what I think is strange.
I exited the game when Notre Dame marched down the field with ease their first possession of the second half. The outcome seemed certain and I hate Notre Dame.
No worries. There were a lot of big plays in the fourth quarter of that game. It went from a defensive slugfest to raining points back and forth very quickly.
According to Opta Stats:
"Tonight marks the only time this century there were…
5 game-tying or go-ahead scores
multiple interceptions
a 50+ yard TD
a game-winning FG in the last 10 seconds
…all in the 4th quarter of any single FBS or NFL game (out of more than 25,000 total games this century)."
One stat I saw last night was that kickers were 0-for-4 in go-ahead 4th quarter FGs in CFP history.
Bert Auburn accounted for two of those last week. Gulp.
TOO SOON
Now now, nothing is set in Stone.
The butt-clenching in Austin tonight will be epic if we find Auburn in the same situation as the ND kicker last night.
Austin only? The butt-clenching here will be epic, too.
Fantastic catch by Golden.
Fuck the tree nuts.
Not ideal
That was way too easy for Ohio State’s offense. You can’t give their wide receivers cushions.
Howard did get away with one throw.
I’ll only clench if the kick is under 30 yards. Any longer and I’ll just assume he misses it.
This beginning is suboptimal.
Wingo was so close to breaking a huge play there.
The tackler didn’t even get the front of his leg.
