Darby spotting! NIU getting a garbage time TD. .5 point burners.... OUCH.

It's all a matter of perspective. :wink:

Thank you Replay Ref.

Yes, the ball moved but the NIU guy had the ball wrapped with one hand with the ball pressed against his chest. The ball moved an inch or so lower against but still pressed against his chest and "in his grasp". He didn't lose control.

Say what? Your post here is referencing the play that they called a fumble and reviewed. My post had nothing to do with that play whatsoever or any play for that matter, nor did the post of yours that I was responding to.

My reference to being a matter of perspective was because you put vbucks on FSU covering the spread, whereas I bet just the opposite. Thus, the different perspectives. Simple as that. Was meant in jest - thus the wink.

He's having a pretty rough night. His stats are ungodly for the rest of the season.. 1,800 rush yards with 19 TD's - 3,000 yards passing with 25 TD's - 63% completion - 5 INT

He had ungodly stats but against mediocre, at best, competition.

Sagarin ranked Kent as their best opponent as the #63rd toughest team and Iowa at #67. The rest of the schedule is like #80 or worse.

“@slmandel: So NIU couldn't hack it after all. And yet, the current score is still less lopsided than the past 2 Orange Bowls (40-12 and 70-35)”

His stats are good, but I think that says a lot more about their schedule than it does about him. He looked legitimately terrible tonight, and against a FSU team that I don't think is good at all.

I understood your post and took no issue with it.


Who made it possible for FSU to take possession leading to the covering FSU score?

The Replay Ref and his "matter of perspective".

I believe it to be a bad call even though it put me on the apparent winning side of the cover.

Another "matter of perspective".

Bjoern Werner isn't that impressive. IDK how he is a top 10 pick.

Compared to the Top 10 but FSU still has an incredible load of talent compared to NIU on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams.

Gotcha. My bad.

The fumble call was a close one. I think they would have gone with the ruling on the field no matter what.

Agreed. But the QB is just a MAC-level QB, not a transcendent talent that somehow ended up on a MAC team. That's all I am saying.
