    HUGE 4th down conversion!

    I admit I would have kicked the FG

  • Basebal21Basebal21 Posts: 4,687 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Thats pretty sad that someone took the time to do that. My bad there was a brain fart with another qb that doesnt change anything other than what hand he throws with but sure

    That's why I would have kicked the FG

    Basebal, just having a little fun with you. But you do have quite a reputation for not ever admitting you could be wrong. So I just saw an opportunity to rib you a little.
    You’re right it can be easy to mix up QB’s, there are a lot of college teams.

    Mendoza is more polished than Sayin and I think Indiana may have a better WR corps. overall than OSU.

    We will see who has the best WR corp come Saturday.

    I mean. I can admit that Smith is just a stud out there. Ponds is playing great and it's still pretty impossible to stop Smith anytime Sayin has time in the pocket. It's tough to see what Indiana can do against OSU's secondary with Cooper going down early. If Mendoza doesn't underthrow that it's probably a TD and Cooper isn't on the sidelines.

    I would love to see Indiana get a TD this possession and put some pressure on OSU

    Ryan Day is getting outcoached by Cignetti and Mendoza has outplayed Sayin.

    And a 26 yard FG is no good

    Last 2 Red Zone trips and 0.points

    OSU is cooked

    Been one tough battle. Thought maybe OSU would have a let down after the Michigan win. But they have battled and played tough.

    This is another example of Ryan Day climbing onto his shell, it seems he has to do it at least once a season. Last year he did it in the Michigan game and, surprise surprise, they lost by the same score against Michigan, 13-10.

    Hard to figure. Barring a miracle the Hoosiers win. Hats off to them for a game well played.

    Last year against Michigan he refused to play to their strengths and throw the ball, I didn't like him not kicking the FG when Sayin got stopped short on 4th and 1 but outside that Indiana's D is playing better than anyone expected and Ohio States Pass D is not good tonight

    I don't hold Day 100% accountable

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 3,480 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Now the question becomes where does the Committee drop Ohio State to?? That’s where the Politics of the playoff comes in as they try to get the matches they prefer.

    Looks like a wrap. Just SAYIN.😀

    Wow Mendoza is a bit odd 🧐

  • Basebal21Basebal21 Posts: 4,687 ✭✭✭✭✭

    LOL OSU thats the Ryan Day special. Theyll drop to 4

    If Duke holds on though theres some big problems here. Miami should be ahead of ND but they have a chance of being the first team to make the playoffs without even playing in the conference championship. Two G5 teams would be an absolute joke especially leaving out the ACC entirely to do so or removing Bama for any ACC or G5 team.

    What a glorious performance from Indiana. Somebody in this thread asked if Indiana could win if they scored 17, topping any previous Ohio opponent. Well, they scored 13 and that was enough. Their defense played out of their minds.

    Just Google Cignetti. He wins. Indiana was 3-9 two years ago.

  • coolstanleycoolstanley Posts: 3,553 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Fielding is just an awful kicker under pressure. He cost the Buckeyes two games last year and screwed them again tonight.

    Congrats to the Hoosiers. Now on to the playoffs.

    Means the only ACC team that has a shot at the playoffs is Miami.

    But thats the biggest problem. A team from the same conference that didnt even play in the conference championship makes it while the team that won the conference sits at home? Then you get into the possibility of a power 4 conference which are the best by far in football not having a team in the playoffs and two G5 teams

    The tricky thing is that Miami and Duke didnt play each other. So a 2 loss Miami should get in over a team thats unranked..even if they won the conference.

    But then thats just saying the ACC championship means nothing and its better to stay out of a conference championship game and that it wont help you and can only hurt you

    But something is flawed here. If Miami and Duke played, who do you think would win? My money would be on Miami.

    Great game last night even though I lost money on OSU

    Taking my financial loss out of it it really was a great game, Indiana's D was the difference imo

    OSU not being able to establish the run and Sayin getting bum rushed was brutal for OSU

    On OSU late drive in the Red Zone, Bo Jackson was an inch away from breaking away but literally one hand on his thigh from a defender tripped him up for some reason, then they just couldn't punch it in, Sayins knee hit the ground before he could lunge forward on 4th and 1, I would have kicked the FG but won't crucify Day for going for it.

    Missing that ridiculous 26 yard FG was inexcusable

    Indiana played great got to give them credit.

    I got to say if this game was played 10 times I think each team would win 5 out of 10

    Phenominal match up

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 3,480 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Things really get messy and confusing when the right teams don’t win and 12 people sitting in a room are left to decide who gets to play for the Natty. If only a Conference Champion could play for the National Championship it would eliminate all the guess work. It would piss off a lot of people but everyone is already pissed off.

    I’m not pissed off. I remember when people were really pissed off when they picked two teams to play for the championship.

  • MaywoodMaywood Posts: 3,480 ✭✭✭✭✭

    What the Official CFP field SHOULD be no matter what the 12 stuffed shirts say. In no particular order:
    Indiana
    Georgia
    Texas Tech
    Duke --- sorry if you don't like this one, maybe you should win your Conference Championship!!
    Tulane
    Ohio State
    Texas A&M
    Oregon
    Ole Miss --- it isn't the player's fault that Lane Kiffin is douche bag.
    Oklahoma
    Notre Dame
    Miami --- apologies to Alabama, stop losing and maybe you'll get in................NEXT SEASON!!!

    Nobody should be picking who plays, Champions only should play for the Natty.
