National Championship Game

[UKWildcats1987]

ND has a really good team...OSU just doing what their talent would suggest.

I think they are the weakest opponent OSU faced all playoff. That's not a diss as I think Texas, Oregon and even UT have more overall talent than ND. Osu killed 2 of those 3 and won by 14 against Texas (albeit n a game closer than the final score).

Osu bought a title and that's hows it gonna be going forward n this era. All the top teams buying title chances. We need to do the same n basketball and I think we will.

OSU too much talent on offense

I'd take the RB and WR groups right now, on the Raiders. Howard as well.

ND defense looks out of place half of the time. Agree with above poster saying Ohio State is making it look easy. Most of their receivers are wide open.

ND QB Leonard holds on to the ball too long. ND is going to half to run some short and outs to at least give their QB a breather.

 

[gamecockcat]

OSU just ridiculous at WR

We think we had a pretty solid receiving corps last year, but none of them would see the field for OSU. They've got at least three who will play well in the NFL. And Smith is a GD freshman! He's a first rounder after next year and will be damn good in the NFL.

Notre Dame can use its pedigree to beat almost anyone. But every year there's going to be 1-2 teams that have the majority of the 5*s and high round draft picks.. and that's when it's just too big of an uphill battle for a team like Notre Dame (or anyone other team in FBS, really).

You get the sense this game is already over unless Freeman and Co can pull out some Pope-like magic at the half time.

 

[Chad Rock]

Any chance we could get some transfers from these two to our program after tonight?

And you mean the Pope in Rome not the one in Lexington right?

Notre Dames only hope at this point is turnovers

 

[NavyCat88]

Let's see some half time adjustments. OSU has the ball first. Do or die for ND on this first series.

Not happening lol.

 

[NavyCat88]

3 TD lead for OSU.....Ball game with 27 minutes to go I'm afraid.

 

[TucsonCat]

Jesus just told Riley Leonard to Fk off

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Holy Buckeye X 100! The domers look like they did n 2012 against Alabama n the title game.

 

[sieken]

ND hasn't scored 28 in any of their three previous playoff games. Pretty tough hole for them to be in against a good defense.

 

[NavyCat88]

This is starting to look eerily similar to the 42-14 Alabama victory over Notre Dame in 2003.....absent the fake girlfriend situation.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

ND hasn't scored 28 in any of their three previous playoff games. Pretty tough hole for them to be in against a good defense.

Indiana, Georgia without their qb and a Penn state team with a mediocre at best offense. Their luck ran out tonight.

 

[NavyCat88]

ND scores +2pt conversion to make it 31-15 with 3min to go in the 3rd. Here is hoping for a tighter game as we move into the 4th.

 

[yes_takeaside]

ND hasn’t stopped a drive all night. Would be surprised if they started to do it now.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Domers coming back? Jesus touchdown miracle?

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Note Dame gotta have a TD here

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Doink! Lol.

 

[maysvilleky]

IMO…this is what Wimsatt would have looked like if he was the starting QB. Can make things happen with his legs but can’t beat you throwing.

 

[R.O.T.Muckinfush]

Kicking there for notre dame was a mark stoops type play call

 

[gamecockcat]

What was the logic in trying the FG? ND still has to score 2 TDs even if they make it. That's a questionable decision, imo. Not gonna affect the outcome but I don't understand that decision at all.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

When you attempt a FG down two solid scores in the 4th quarter, you deserve to lose

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Holy Jesus Domer Touchdown Holy Ghost!

This is why I don't gamble folks.

 

[NavyCat88]

Another TD And 2point conversion to make it an 8 point game 31-23 with 4:15 to go!

 

[UKWildcats1987]

It's games like this that make you chuckleand wonder. Is it rigged to make osu not cover? Lol

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Don’t F this up OSU

 

[kats23]

Ohio State just quit trying to score and just took the air out of the ball too early. Very stoops like. It will just never not be weird to me.

Just keep typing to score. They can’t catch you if you keep putting touchdowns on the board

 

[CHAMPCAT11]

Don’t F this up OSU

How many points did you have to give ?

 

[NavyCat88]

That OSU #4....true freshman WR is some fine talent. Big future for that youngster.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

A lot riding on this kick for the gambler dudes.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Suckeyes cover and Domers get a pitiful moral victory.

 

[JDHoss]

Suckeyes cover and Domers get a pitiful moral victory.

Yep. Couldn't believe I was celebrating an Ohio St FG to seal a game.

 

[JDHoss]

Both QBs in the championship game are new transfers.

And are former 3 star recruits. Evaluating high school quarterbacks is really hard.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

How many points did you have to give ?

Just needed OSU to win a +28000 bet I made back in August before the season. Had OSU National Champs and Travis Hunter Heisman winner. Yay me!!!
