SC QB can't count. Dude went for the TD 3x instead of the FG. That's an entirely winnable game he threw away, literally.

I keep expecting Bama to play better defense, or to dominate lesser teams. Then it dawned on me. This isn't Saban's Bama. This team is just like DeBoer's Washington. Where every game is close. Where defense is leaky, and lets other teams get back into the game. There are few blow outs, even against weak teams. This is the new Bama. DeBoer's Bama.

LOlhio State University. What a way to lose the game.

^1^Texas v. ^20^ oklahoma

It's 2:38 PM in Dallas and ou still sucks

The roar of "ou sucks" chants is music to my ears. They are sucking a little more than I anticipated

RRS is always one of those "throw the records out" games. Neither team ever looks truly comfortable in Fair Park, but both of them are chock full of highly-recruited DFW kids trying to show each other up with a ton of friends and family there.

What's wrong with Ewers. He missed 2 wide-open receivers for sure TDs. Are you sure his injury wasn't to his head?

Man OU really just refused to tackle for an entire series huh

Fumble into the end zone to recover for a touchdown! Exactly how we drew it up. Not stressed about nearly causing a touchback at all, nope

Absolute shit call. That was an interception for Oregon.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I just can't believe Sooners let Gabriel go so they can start some guy who's on the bench now. what a bonehead mistake.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wild ending to this one. When Oregon kicked the go-ahead FG with ~30 seconds left I thought that was too much time, but I did not expect an Ohio State to mismanage the clock so badly (not that I'm complaining!)

The fall of Bama is amazing to watch

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

It's a different Bama. I think if you look at last year's Washington Huskies' season, then you have a better grasp of this year's Bama. They have enough talent to go to national championship. But because they never blow away teams they should, they will get ranked lower and lower, and get underestimated. Like last year's Washington team. Huskies were always ranked lower than their fans thought they should, even with better record. It wasn't until the final week or 2 the picture cleared, and they were in the final 4. Even then there were doubters, but their performance in the championship game showed they belonged.

Neal Brown needs to fucking go. Dude is awful. 21 from the defense AND two 3 and outs coming from the half and you did fuck all with it. Neal is a sham.

Tennessee successfully failed to lose. 🤣

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It was a back and forth hard fought effort, but ultimately it was the gators who came out on bottom

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I hate this game, I do not want this to go to extra time. Please just finish it

This game has got to be incredible to watch for anyone who hates the gators and the Vols

BAH, there we go. I knew Lagway wouldn't go under center. He takes spikes and kneeldowns from shotgun.

Being in the gun is a disadvantage. Jet sweep against a fast team is dumb and why Billy is probably still going to get fired this year.

RRS is too stressful, so seeking brief reprieve in ^3^ Penn State at USC. This is a beautiful uniform combo.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I, uh, did not know that the C doesn't have to line up at center and can snap on the end of the line and be an eligible receiver. That was a beautiful TD by Penn State's center there

Iowa is totally getting jobbed here. I know it's just 3 pts but that was not a field goal! I absolutely cannot believe the ref said it was good. Honestly he should be suspended

That last drive of Bama was perfect play calling protecting Milroe. They took away decision-making from him by calling runs and short passing game where passes were essentially run plays. The TD pass was a simple read, throw there if guy is open, otherwise run or toss the ball away. Gamecocks were lulled into sleep with repeated run plays and blew their coverage, gave up a TD.

This BYU - AZ game is pretty competitive, but BYU is about to make it not so

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol @ Gus thinking BYU could kick a fg from their own 40

Now I'm wondering how high of elevation you would need to make it possible. Like, if Justin Tucker was on top of Mount Everest could it be done?
