I’ve been a fan of Wimbush, and was hoping he would step up this year. But, also thought Book showed something against LSU last year, and could steal the spot in the spring. With all that being said, the offense with Book looks like a totally different team. ND is looking like strong. The win against Stanford was impressive. The defense is strong and hasn’t been this good in years. Also, the Irish held Love to 73 yards in 17 Carries before he left with an ankle injury, and 39 of those yards came on one play. He was averaging 2 YPC. Edited September 30, 2018 by Captain Murica 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we saw today what you do against Cuse. It seemed Clemson finally understood to just run the ball at the end of the game. I see ND doing the same, and will expose them with play action. I find navy so annoying with their triple option, but this is the first time in a long time we have a defense that can dominate the game, and I even think the talent on that side will be too much for Navy. I’m not that worried as a fan of the Irish vs navy. But, like you said, them going to Blacksburg worries me. I watched the Old Dominion game, and they had issues with Big body WRs, VA tech that is. I can see Boykin having a day against them. These next few weeks are going to be a lot of fun.

I don’t get this narrative from psu fans that they deserved a playoff berth that year. OSU got in because they had one close loss on the road on a fluke blocked kick. You know this. Don’t lose twice. OSU won the big ten last year and got left out for the same reason, remember? Did the committee find a way to elevate them last year? They could have justified it but did not.

Alabama won titles and continues to win games. Please, list the teams who were better than Alabama and were deprived of a playoff spot. 50 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Explain when they demonstrated a bias for Ohio State I see your point Yolo. I thought that Ohio State was going to be voted in last year but they obviously were not. If there was a pro OSU bias, the committee would have overlooked the second loss and tossed them right in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
