They still had to drive 65 yards in less than two minutes with no timeouts and a porous offensive line to win.Deathofthebambino said:Completely fucked. Penn State executes the onside kick perfectly with about 2 minutes to go, and down by 5, and the ref calls offsides on one of the Penn State guys. Replay made it clear that nobody on the kickoff team was offisides. Cost them any chance they had to win the game, and probably kept Hoke his job for at least another week.
Terrible decision by driskell. Put his receiver in that position.Deathofthebambino said:Oh man, ugly injury in the LSU/Florida game.
Deathofthebambino said:And now after a 3 and out, Florida throws a pick, and LSU returns it inside the Florida 40. Probably going to come down to a field goal attempt by LSU from 40+. Pretty much the exact kind of game that Les Miles' teams win.
Are we talk neck injury here? Didn't see it but saw online that the game was delayed for a whileDeathofthebambino said:I don't think you can blame Driskel there. It's a basic 5-10 yard slant over the middle. The receiver had about 3 steps to protect himself, and he put his head down, which is about the worst thing he could have done. That pass happens 10-20 times over the course of almost every football game, and with the rules in place to protect receivers, it almost never results in that.
Based oh the angle of the hit, I think he'll be fine. It's a stinger, and they take every precaution.Deathofthebambino said:Yeah, neck injury. As they were leaving the field, the receiver gave the thumbs up sign, so hopefully, he's ok, but I'm not sure I ever saw his legs move.
The story of both Mississippi schools is special, and in the same year no less.Warning Track Speed said:So we're looking at an inaugural playoff field of Baylor, Arizona, Minnesota, and Mississippi State. Just how they drew it up.

I thought it was a lousy call too, but you're wrong that no one was offsides. James (18) looked like he was offsides. I just think it was waaaay too close to call.
They have done it. Leap free shoes and #1Deathofthebambino said:I was making the same argument yesterday. Based solely on strength of schedule, I don't know how Miss. State wouldn't be the number 1 team in the country. I think head's up, they would have beaten FSU by double digits over the past few weeks. It's always tough to leap frog the #1 team, and rightfully so, without the #1 losing, but if it doesn't happen this week after these wins by Miss. State, then I don't know that it ever will.
