SAFETY ON MILROE! Hell yeah, Gamecocks!

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Those last 2 minutes of the 1st half just showed every weakness of Milroe where he's just not developing fast enough to be the QB of a contending team. Poor passing mechanics. Poor decision making. Even his decision-making in the running game which is supposed to be his strength, is iffy. You can see why Milroe got benched last year. You can see how Saban protected Milroe last year giving him simple reads and limited passing game.

LOlhio State University. What a way to lose the game.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I keep expecting Bama to play better defense, or to dominate lesser teams. Then it dawned on me. This isn't Saban's Bama. This team is just like DeBoer's Washington. Where every game is close. Where defense is leaky, and lets other teams get back into the game. There are few blow outs, even against weak teams. This is the new Bama. DeBoer's Bama.

RRS is too stressful, so seeking brief reprieve in ^3^ Penn State at USC. This is a beautiful uniform combo.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I, uh, did not know that the C doesn't have to line up at center and can snap on the end of the line and be an eligible receiver. That was a beautiful TD by Penn State's center there

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I think he's a tight end. 12 receptions so far. LOL. More than half of the team's.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

44 for Penn State is single-handedly winning the game for his team. SC can't seem to stop him.

The hell going on with Penn State defense. They've given up 144 yards rushing in 1st half already. Edit: make that 164 now. Just ripped off 20 yarder right after I posted.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Refs single-handedly deciding the game for Penn State in OT. Not calling TWO pass interference on them in OT on same drive. Just disgusting.

Penn State survives! I really thought the B1G travel curse would get them. I hope that means an Ohio State University will succumb to the West Coast trip

^1^Texas v. ^20^ oklahoma

It's 2:38 PM in Dallas and ou still sucks

ou misses their field goal! The "yet to trail this season" streak lives on a little longer

The roar of "ou sucks" chants is music to my ears. They are sucking a little more than I anticipated

THE HAT IS ~~OU~~RS!

Fumble into the end zone to recover for a touchdown! Exactly how we drew it up. Not stressed about nearly causing a touchback at all, nope

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's wrong with Ewers. He missed 2 wide-open receivers for sure TDs. Are you sure his injury wasn't to his head?

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Looks like he's trying to play too quickly and is missing reads (probably doesn't want to take too many hits). I had a hunch he would be like this, but more so that Sark's aggressive play calling is not doing him any favors -- I usually love that, but this actually ticks me off a lot that he doesn't dial it back in situations like this where he should be just trying to ease Ewers in.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

No, he was out of sorts. It was his mechanics. just not setting his feet properly, and he wasn't seeing the game. So Sark gave him simple throws to make the rest of the half which was real smart. 2nd half he settled down and remembered how to throw the ball.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

That last drive of Bama was perfect play calling protecting Milroe. They took away decision-making from him by calling runs and short passing game where passes were essentially run plays. The TD pass was a simple read, throw there if guy is open, otherwise run or toss the ball away. Gamecocks were lulled into sleep with repeated run plays and blew their coverage, gave up a TD.

OMG LSU is making Dart look like a great runner.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Nussmeier was 21-51 but he balled out when it was needed most. Gamer.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Iowa is totally getting jobbed here. I know it's just 3 pts but that was not a field goal! I absolutely cannot believe the ref said it was good. Honestly he should be suspended

Lol, and a few minutes later Iowa has a nearly identical borderline FG kind of negating UW's earlier one.

EXTEND YOUR FIELD GOAL POSTS, IOWA
