2024-25 BOWL GAME WATCH PARTY

[tussin]

Will Howard is not prime time. I know he’s on a hot streak but he will fold in the bright lights. Mark it down.

…as I was saying.

 

[Gladiator]

Thee Ohio St U thing Is really annoying. That's a thing the starters would say back in 2010-2015 era on ESPN to introduce themselves on MNF, I might be wrong on the dates.
It doesn't make sense. There are no other Ohio State U's in Ohio
Thee is why OSU is trash and their old school university wasn't very inviting at all.
The walls were like you would be walking through a psychiatric unit. I'm sure they've changed It from the 80's, but It wasn't inviting at all.

I think both of these teams are more talented than injured ND... but both are quite mortal. Ohio State really ain't it if you can limit explosive plays. I dunno wtf Tennessee and Oregon were doing, but this looks a lot more like the Ohio State team we saw most of the year which had issues sustaining drives.

 

[GoldenAura]

At this point I’m more concerned about how effectively we can move the ball against Jim Knowles’ defense. They’re very good.

Yep. I am feeling okay about things.

I just don't know if we can score enough to win. Even if we hold OSU down a bit unlike in the Tennessee/Oregon games. Their D is probably the best in the country.

Will Howard in particular is a paper tiger. Puffs his chest more than anyone against Indiana, but shit his pants in a big moment against Michigan. Day/Howard is very similar to Franklin/Allar.

Yes, they are more talented but they will crumble. Doesn’t mean they won’t win in the end; but, it’ll get dicey when ND starts grinding out drives and making them earn every single yard.

 

[Riddickulous]

Lmao dude flipping the bird on national TV

Well, this would be Freeman’s 4th consecutive year facing it, that should help mitigate some of his scheme.

 

[Dale]

Kenny Dillingham and Sam Leavitt > Chip Kelly and Will Howard?

 

[Riddickulous]

Great stop

 

[Crazy Balki]

Although Golden likes to blitz I think he would have been in prevent there.

I don't understand why you blitz there. It's beyond stupid. You got 29 seconds left, just keep everything in front of you. If they get 10-15 yards, so be it. But you don't give up the easy score.

 

[OhioIrish]

Even if all Texas accomplishes in this game is stealing some of the OSU offensive mojo that’s a win. OSU is a team that runs on emotion and even a little self-doubt could go a long way. OSU does not have ND culture.

 

[Gladiator]

I believe our D Is the best in the country. We won't come out flat in 9 days.

We have to make sure as a team, that this game isn't considered the championship game.
If we win or keep It close, with whoever wins this. We'll be rewarded.

 

[KPENN]

What a play

 

[Riddickulous]

Hell of a play by Ewers there

 

[IRISHDODGER]

 

[HouseofPain]

Gotta hope for some banged up players that cant quite make the count for next game...

 

[NDWarrior]

This game has gotten me so blue

 

[Dale]

Aneyas Williams again!

 

[GoldenAura]

Ohio State just discovered wheel routes tonight apparently

 

[Riddickulous]

Ohio State just discovered wheel routes tonight apparently

They at least tried to cover the 1st one

 

[Riddickulous]

How did he not fumble there

They are collections of talent but far from a team.

 

[Dale]

Howard’s lost his swagger. Got through 8 quarters on fire and now met a defense with a pulse

 

[NorthDakota]

Ohio State looks lost

 

[Gladiator]

Do we really want UT in the finals? I've read this on X. They're better. We'll be the underdog, and OSU, just like us last night, maybe listened to the rat poison.

 

[IrishLax]

I’m having a hard time deciding a rooting interest. Is Texas actually better than the Buckeyes? Was the Ohio State the past two weeks was a mirage?

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

We will have to get up and play a great game either way, but yes, we’d absolutely rather UT than OSU.

 

[KMac151993]

At least this game going 4 quarters means both sides have to expend energy and plays...no cakewalk.
