Several of them really showed up to try. OSU is going to have the biggest win of the top four and that's because of a defensive TD with 9 seconds left.

Bielema is PISSED about that last TTUN drive. He blatantly said after the game that it was rigged and he wouldn't be silent. (I did not watch the game at all. I was watching my Goddaughter in Annie.)

O hasn't done shit, Ga Tech scored 2 TDs, it's ugly.

Our #2 WR, and #1 TE are out, but still, that's not much of an excuse.

Tennessee getting absolutely annihilated by South Carolina.

Ole Miss getting blown out by Arkansas.

Heels finally looked like the team they are supposed to be! Fortunately, also the game we went to (verdict: kids like basketball a lot more than football).

Come home, check football, and it's bizarro world: Browns-Bills tight, Colts beating Eagles, Commanders destroying Texans, And Lions over Giants (so far)

USC-UCLA had one of the greatest security tackles of all time
Good, fuck that dude. Honestly, I have no fundamental issue with fans occasionally running on the field like that, but they are fair game to get hit.

I do love some college basketball, and I love all these teams willing to play quality matchups.

MSU beats KY. Zags barely beat MSU. Zags smashed my Texas. Zags beating KY. UVA vs Illinois, after both teams beat top 10 teams to send them to the consolation bracket. And Michigan getting blown up by Az State, and going to OT with Ohio. Then the Thanksgiving tournaments, and ACC/B10 challenge. Fuck yeah.

That's a hell of a run.
Well, poop.
I wonder if GG Jackson has regrets.

At the end of the day, I know he did this to go pro 1 year earlier, but still. Ooof.

Guys like that are only about themselves. I assure you that he is blaming his teammates and coaches for the losing. He's probably telling people that not even Jordan could carry these clowns to wins.

Blake Corum, TTUN's shining star this year, is impossible to dislike. I really hope he plays Saturday. I've heard he won't be available, and even if he is, won't be at 100%. Ditto for two of OSU's backs, Henderson and Williams. Not to mention that JSN is still out.

Since he committed to South Carolina, it's been radio silence on him. Haven't heard anything about him.

That receiver blocking video. Isn't it common for receivers and defenders to make contact like that within 5 yards? Look at the top of the play, same exact thing is happening. Was the play specifically designed to take advantage of that contact? I have little doubt. Because you see that type of stuff during routes that cross too. "Ooops. I accidentally got in the way of his defender and now he's wide open." I do think it's a bullshit play (all of them. Not just the one in the video.). But call them all. Don't just pick the one that you think cost you the game.

And Harbaugh wanted to lose the game too. 20 seconds left, well within field goal range. No timeouts. He calls for another passing play. Wife and I were freaking out. Luckily, it was a missed pass play stopping the clock. Ball is caught and tackled in bounds, burning time. Wait for ref to set ball while scrambling to get field goal unit out. Make kicker have to kick a last second hurry the fuck up game winning kick? What the fuck for? What a fuck show of a game. Honestly though, this was what I expected us to look like all season. I'm surprised we've done as well as we have.

You're right, two cases of offensive pass interference. WRs are allowed to block for run plays, but if they initiate contact more than 1 yd beyond the line of scrimmage, and a pass is thrown beyond the line of scrimmage, it's offensive pass interference.

Like most PI stuff, this typically isn't called unless it's more blatant. The video above, it's a little beyond the 1 yard limit (and well past it on the top of the screen).

This. It's absolutely an illegal play and there should have been a flag. It irritates me that this stuff doesn't get called more often. Offenses are coddled and always given the benefit of the doubt, while defenses are punished for being on the field.

I was wondering the same thing following it on my phone. I kept wondering why the updates were saying "pass incomplete" when they were in FG range with little time left. I was thinking, "That has to be a mistake. Why would they be throwing?" Although TCU basically did the same "Let's almost lose" game plan as they had no TOs, ran the ball, and then ran their FG team out to kick the winner with no time left on the clock.
