FBS National Championship Thread - tOSU v. Oregon

[johnmd20]

YES!!!!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bob Newhart is officiating this game?

I looked at that guy several times wondering who he looked like. I will no longer wonder. 

 

[canderson]

He's the third-string QB, guys.

 

[johnmd20]

I looked at that guy several times wondering who he looked like. I will no longer wonder. 

 
He sounds like him, too.

 

[Infield Infidel]

He threw that ball like he was brushing a fly off his nose

 

[Jnai]

This game crazy.

 

[johnmd20]

He threw that ball like he was brushing a fly off his nose

 
He has a cannon.

 

[DukeSox]

Oregon defense can't stop OSU

 

[Freddy Linn]

So big.

Touchdown! Elbow, tho.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

This ESPN2 feed isn't that bad. LG pull block made that run.

 

[The Napkin]

not a TD

 

[Al Zarilla]

YES!!!!

Just catching up. Buckeye alum? Guy across the street is that and next door is an Oregon grad. Bet nobody else here can say that.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

the Holy Trinity of tOSU football:
 
Woody Hayes, Archie Griffin, and Cardale f'ing Jones.
 
The last 10 quarters have been amazing by them, as much as I hate them, respect.

 

[Catcher Block]

Oregon had the right blitz called, and the LB got swallowed up in the line.

My wife went to tOSU and her family is from Cleveland. My wife's parents bleed silver and red. Bleed. So I hopped on the bandwagon b/c I went to Lehigh. Lehigh has never, um, played in the National Championship.

 

[Mloaf71]

Does OSU dare bench Jones next season when all their QBs are healthy?

 

[Fred in Lynn]

He's got Bob's straight man mannerisms down.

Too bad they can't trade one for another player.

That Newhart tweet is pretty awesome.

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Hmm, it's only holding on Oregon, just like it's only pass interference on Oregon

 

[The Napkin]

huge catch

 

[johnmd20]

Shucks. Huge conversion.

 

[The Napkin]

Hmm, it's only holding on Oregon, just like it's only pass interference on Oregon

funny that

 

[steveluck7]

 
He sounds like him, too.

Bob Newhart just tweeted into the mega-cast on ESPNU about this.
 
edit: too late

 

[johnmd20]

That was a blatant hold against Oregon there. No call. Oh well.

 

[LuckyBen]

Oregon is holding on every play

Nor mine (UNH). Go OSU. Don't like Oregon.

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Oregon is holding on every play

And Ohio State isn't?

 

[Catcher Block]

That's a million flags in the No Fun League.

 

[johnmd20]

And Ohio State isn't?

 
Not as blatant. But there is a lot of holding going on all over the place.

 

[LuckyBen]

And Ohio State isn't?

I'm sure they are, it's more blatant by Oregon though

 

[Infield Infidel]

Oregon is holding on every play

there are probably holds on every scramble

 

[Al Zarilla]

Oregon not too good to kick the FG this time. 

 

[johnmd20]

Weird camera.

 

[The Napkin]

They've lost 2-3 seconds after each play on a late to call
 
First play was down at 35, whistled at 33.
That was 29, whistled at 26

 

[The Napkin]

That was whistled dead at 22 and stopped at 20. 7 seconds is a play.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

Does OSU dare bench Jones next season when all their QBs are healthy?

Maybe a double headed monster of Jones and Barrett.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

Besides the turnovers, that was about as good as I could have hoped for in the first half.

Could easily be 35 for OSU.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Those two third down drops are killers.

 

[canderson]

This made me laugh

[Kremlin Watcher]

If Brutus stops turning the ball over, they're going to win by two scores. 

 

[Infield Infidel]

This made me laugh

link to tweetthank you for this. That feed is cracking me up.

 

[Freddy Linn]

What does GUAGE spell?

 

[johnmd20]

Those signs were really odd.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

I would not be surprised to find out that Meyer ordered his defense to play standard sets with no adjustments during the first series so he could glean what Oregon was planning. Then he and Fickell figured it out (more or less) and are schooling Helfrich.
 
In any case, this has been pretty entertaining so far.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

What a punchable face.

Meyer's the best college coach by a country mile, so yeah. Script the series then adjust.
