2024-25 BOWL GAME WATCH PARTY

[Sea Turtle]

Ohio State always has these smallish, white, fast defensive ends who are unblockable. Joey Bosa, Nick Bosa, and Sawyer, etc.

 

[HouseofPain]

Gotta say Texas was pretty disappointing. Definitely didnt show anything special.

Gotta just hardnose run these guys and play man D. Just like Michigan did. If ND plays that way, it can win. If it wants to 50/50 playcall in zone, it is gonna be a loooong night

Who's the little tool in the red sweat suit and black beanie?

 

[Gladiator]

Does anyone else notice the love and

I can’t stand Jack Sawyer. He’s such a douche bag.

He really Is.

 

[greyhammer90]

Sark's entire history as a good OC should be called into question because of that HB toss.

 

[irishff1014]

Can't wait to beat Day so bad that his tears wash out his beard dye

-9 right now on fan duel for OSU

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

How much gay sex did Ewers and Sawyer really have in their dorm room?
Bad breakup cause the transfer?

I don't think anyone thought we would be favored.

 

[Gladiator]

-9 might end up being -12, 13 by game day.

I hope they straight up change the line to -50.
We always play better as the under.

 

[Blazers46]

Herbie giving OSU a handjob allllll night. Please don’t let this guy c all the game.

 

[IrishLax]

They’re giving Chip Kelly flowers but their 28 points have 14 from one completely broken fluke play and a defensive TD.

The line pre-playoff was projected to be within 3 points. Sure, since then we’ve lost Mills/Knapp/Spindler and Love is banged up. But 9.5 points is quite steep and isn’t really backed up by any metrics. It’s all vibes + recency bias + projecting ND injuries.

Yup, As I posted in the other thread, None of the metrics would agree with the spread being anywhere near the high. Biggest disconnect I’ve seen for a ND game this year.

Or maybe a few additional data points? OSU has blown out the spread each of the past three games and has shown they’ve learned from their loss to Michigan.

I mean I think we have a chance - but the line is probably sharp.

They did not “blow out the spread” tonight… they got a 90 yard fumble return on goal to go to cover.

Exactly. OSU beat PSU 20-13.

OSU PSU
The stats were similar to our game.
OSU won the turn over battle 2-1 and won the game.

Good lord, I didn't think I'd want to beat somebody as much as Kirby Smart, but low and behold, here comes Ryan Day and Jackass Sawyer.

I can only hope that Tosh or Wagner plant his sorry ass into the dirt. He so very much deserves it.

Watching replays all day today with my two boys (snowed-in here in Nashville).... youngest (Christian) asks..."Why all the blocked passes"?...

Had to agree... has anyone else noticed the playoff games with all the blocked passing attempts this year by literally all the defenses this year???

Bad QB play all around.

 

[Dizzyphil]

Bad QB play all around.

That or just not aware of their surroundings up front, i.e., what you said - bad QB play... what happened to the early 'pump-fake' we used to see back in the day to get the defensive backs/line to react, so the QB could make a play????

 

[irishff1014]

With this mindset the this team has I think we can beat every team we face.

That doesn’t mean it will happen though.

 

[Dale]

Poor QB for whole season but for CFP I would say enhanced preparation by defenses

 

[Sea Turtle]

We CAN win.

Yes. It’s just crazy that I feel like we can win
