agreed. That was just bizarre.

Ryan Day’s hair dye really bothers you!! 😁 I will say that this feels like the beginning of the end for college football. The spending arms race is about to begin. Just going to be like MLB— who can buy the most talent.

Congrats to Ohio State! The better team. i guess even a mediocre coach like Ryan Day can win with a $20 million roster. 😃

Oh, come on. Everyone knew that would be a fake. Why not just let Riley run it up the gut for 2 yards?

What archaic plays will ND dial up in the second half? FB dive? Wishbone option?

Funny you mentioned bone bruise. That’s what I guessed when it happened. That’s based on zero medical knowledge!

he is like Josh on a tush push. Otherwise, I feel like I am watching a 1980s Nebraska QB out there.

They had three weeks to activate him at the end of the regular season to try to get him eased in, and they didn’t. I think there is no chance he plays. He’s there as basically a coach. I think it’s Hamlin and bishop, with cam as the backup (and Kareem gets elevated for an emergency).

Agreed. I have noticed offensive holds are mostly called based on clues as to how the defender’s body moves. For example, If a Defender getting cleanly pancaked, but falls to the side, then it is a hold. Apparently if the ref sees the defender fall forward to the ground fast, the clue is a hold. I get that the game might be too fast to see the holds in real time. But then I think the answer to that is: “then don’t call them.” I’d rather they miss holds than guess wrongly and call phantom ones.

agreed— the worry is just being so thin. If Cole or Hamlin go down, Kareem Jackson might have to get snaps…. Which would be nightmarish. definitely agree on benford.

hate to say this, but I have to think the Taylor rapp is “day to day” is the same thing as zay flowers being “questionable.” Rapp was carted off the field!

These McD ultimatum threads seem to work each week. Keep em up!

dang, that American Idol clip is old school!! Well done!

Totally agree, especially with the pre-snap stuff. But I have been wondering whether these officials were also out to lunch, which led to very few penalties. How were no defensive holding penalties called the entire game, when really both teams were playing a lot of man? Then you see Andrews just violently shove his defender to the ground and no OPI called? Makes me think there was a ton of uncalled grabbing and holding occurring.

wait, you went to that board and still have your eyesight intact?

Kind of wish he did throw it. let Josh cook!!! 😁

We beat Denver 31-7, and generated no turnovers.

He wasn’t awful in run support, IMO. I thought he was a key reason we were able to rally and get Henry down all night. The long ball to Bateman—yeah, on him.

I know he is total jerk, but I was hoping we would sign Gisecki last offseason.

I can’t believe people even watch these shows anymore. I don’t think I have watched a talking head segment on ESPN or NFLN in like 5 years. Vapid blabbering.

Agree— played with much more aggressiveness. Even on those run stuffs, he got his nose in there. I also saw him getting chippy with Hill.

For all of you “tush push twice in a row” people, what if they were still about a yard out on 4th down (very likely)? I still think they have to kick it there.

Someone should set that last Lamar TD to the benny Hinn music. I think all the bills rushers may have run into each other.

I would say it was the weirdest game plan (at least second half plan) I have ever seen. I agree that some of it was audibiling to other plays though. Josh also looked uncomfortable with the fronts the ravens were showing. My one big complaint is that we never even tested the outside corners, outside of the one DPI. Their corners struggle against bigger receivers.

That was a train wreck; looked like massive miscommunication issues too, with Rapp out and then TJ going on some too.
