2627802, *anxious grin* Yeah, not a bad start.

Urbs had 2 weeks to prepare for this too.

Far, far from over and our Defense looked shaky on the first drive.
2627812, OSU hasn't played well but is within 8 in the 4th (35-27)
Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Sat Oct-28-17 05:38 PM
I'm surprised that they're so undisciplined. A couple of kick returns, too many penalties, and also turnovers.

But they got jobbed on a couple of big plays. They would have had two interceptions which ended drives, only to have a bad PI call overrule one and another bad call on a 50/50 ball in the endzone that was overturned using reply.

To their credit OSU has kept Barkley in check which is the main reason the game is as close as it has been.
2627818, OSU scored to get within 4 pts
Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Sat Oct-28-17 05:57 PM
Would have been within 3, but PSU made a great play on the 2pt conversion to stop a jet sweep.

38-33 with 4 left in the 4th.
2627820, TD by OSU - 39-38
Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Sat Oct-28-17 06:08 PM
Barrett's hit 16 in a row at this point. He didn't get in on a 2pt conversion tho.
2627803, #3 for OSU “You just got MOSSED!”

2627849, Missouri has an offense sometimes. Florida does not, ever.

also Georgia is ridiculous on the ground. I said it a month ago but their stable of backs is the best in the country.
2627811, Florida administrators discussing if they can fire McElwain (ESPN swipe)

Edward Aschoff Mark Schlabach

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- University of the Florida administrators are discussing whether they can fire coach Jim McElwain with cause, multiple sources told ESPN.

After failing to find any evidence to substantiate claims made by McElwain this week that his family and players received death threats, Florida administrators have worked to see if McElwain's allegations were enough to relieve the university from paying McElwain's full buyout of $12.9 million if he were to be fired.

Sources told ESPN that they believe the university has enough cause to fire McElwain without having to pay his buyout. Sources also said that if McElwain were to be relieved of his duties, defensive coordinator Randy Shannon would be asked to be the team's interim coach.

On Monday, McElwain told reporters unprompted during his news conference that his family and players received death threats.

"There's a lot of hate in this world and a lot of anger," McElwain told reporters. "And yet it's freedom to show it. The hard part is obviously when the threats against your own players, the death threats to your families, the ill will that's brought upon out there."

When asked to expand on his claims, McElwain wouldn't go into detail about the nature of the threats and said he wasn't planning to contact law enforcement.

"A lot of angry people," McElwain said. "In this business, we're the ones that you take the shots at. That's the way it is."

Florida officials, who were unaware of McElwain's claims until he discussed them during his news conference, later released a statement regarding possible death threats but added that after meeting with McElwain, he "offered no additional details."

"The University Athletic Association takes the safety of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and families very seriously,'' team spokesman Steve McClain said in the statement. "Our administration met with Coach McElwain this afternoon, and he offered no additional details.''

On Wednesday, McElwain said that he was wrong to bring up the death threats that he also said "happened in the past."

"It's just something that came up and obviously was on my mind," McElwain said. "It doesn't make it right. It doesn't make it right to air that laundry."

McElwain also said that he met with athletic director Scott Stricklin and Executive Associate Athletics Director for Internal Affairs Laird Veatch, and "they were really good and supportive."

Saturday added another level to an already complicated situation when Stricklin released a statement dispelling rumors that the school was working on a buyout with McElwain.

"No one representing the University of Florida or our athletic department has had any conversations with Coach McElwain or his representatives regarding a buyout of his contract," Stricklin said in a statement. "Our focus is on this great Florida-Georgia rivalry today in Jacksonville."

McElwain, who was hired in December 2014, entered Saturday with a 22-11 record and had won the SEC Eastern Division in back-to-back seasons, becoming the first SEC coach to make it to the SEC championship game in each of his first two seasons.

McElwain's 19 wins entering the 2017 season were the second-most by any SEC coach in 2015 and 2016. Those 19 wins tied Steve Spurrier for the second-most victories by a Florida head coach in his first two seasons.

The unranked Gators (3-3, 3-2 SEC) are playing No. 3 Georgia (7-0, 4-0) on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida.
2627832, UGA -11 had me thoroughly confused

like had anybody seen this florida team play this year?
2627815, wonder how this Penn St game would've turned out
Posted by HecticHavoc, Sat Oct-28-17 05:50 PM
without those bullshit endzone calls
1 - "pass interference" on the double coverage interception
2 - the interception in the end zone that got overturned

second one maybe can be argued but the P.I. call on the INT before the first half ended was soooo bad
2627816, Kenny Hill has one drive to save TCU's season
Posted by HecticHavoc, Sat Oct-28-17 05:52 PM
they only have 7 points today
2627821, JT Barrett redemption- 16 straight completions, wow!

2627825, He balled out
Posted by obsidianchrysalis, Sat Oct-28-17 06:19 PM
Props to him, and the rest of OSU, for recovering from the bad first half and getting the lead late. Great win for them.
2627823, I hate OSU, but I'll always Love my dog urban
Posted by calminvasion, Sat Oct-28-17 06:15 PM
Always gives me headache watching OSU in a big game
2627826, you don't hate them more than pedo denier/apologists though I hope

we fuck hoes from penn state.

2627871, If he's not on the field, the game isn't remotely close. Don't be dumb.
Posted by Mignight Maruder, Sun Oct-29-17 09:05 AM
Kind of hard to run the ball when the opposing team's front 7 is living in your backfield. Put him behind OSU's line and he's getting 200+ every game easy.
2627907, He's a great player. Maurice Clarett was better, and a champion.
Posted by guru0509, Sun Oct-29-17 04:11 PM
Also, TOSU is the real Linebacker U.

G'luck rest of the season.
2627911, i don't know if OSU would give him the ball haha

>he's getting 200+ every game easy.

Dobbins was averaging like 12 ypc early in the game and than he disappeared until the 4th quarter. meyer is saving him for the nfl.
2627829, i have no idea what i just watched
Posted by 3xKrazy, Sat Oct-28-17 06:39 PM
fucking insane
2627835, PSU is an excellent team but their OOC schedule
Posted by 3xKrazy, Sat Oct-28-17 07:04 PM
really destroys their resume.

i guess theyre still on target for a new years 6 bowl. but i would hate to see wisky get a better bowl similar to Iowa/OSU 2 years ago.
2627839, man i turned into this shit at THE wrong times
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sat Oct-28-17 07:37 PM
turned it on at 14-0 after another osu turnover and took a nap

woke up at 35-20 in the 4th and flipped to TCU-ISU

hosed :(
2627846, there is a comfortable numbness in being awful
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sat Oct-28-17 08:58 PM
but this Tech team is so much better than our record that its slightly agonizing.

not only that but the goddamned weather cancelled a game against UCF and put us in 2 consecutive slopfests.

shit suuuuuuuuucks.
2627847, is Dabo an all timer?
Posted by cgonz00cc, Sat Oct-28-17 09:08 PM
Bear, Bo, Woody, Bobby...Dabo?

im choking back bile to say yes. theyre gonna win at least one more and then a million conference titles,and gis retirement is gonna be a "thing".

so annoying.
2627850, Butch Jones lost to Kentucky.
Posted by will_5198, Sat Oct-28-17 10:41 PM
only other Vol coach to do that in the last 33 years is Derek Dooley.

got to fire Butch now. put him out of his own misery.
2627863, PSU choked that away, but OSU was definitely the better team.
Posted by Mignight Maruder, Sun Oct-29-17 07:02 AM
A lot of nice breaks went PSU's way and they had a pretty commanding lead late in the game. Unfortunately, PSU got manhandled along the LOS on both sides of the ball. Of course it doesn't help when your down to your 3rd/4th string DE and your best OL goes down. Regardless, PSU's defense was absolutely dreadful - couldn't generate a pass rush and the secondary looked completely gassed and lost in coverage.

I'm still at a loss for how terrible the play-calling has gotten for the offense. You have the best RB in all of CFB and you design the most predictable and ass-backwards plays when it's crunch time. Moorehead reminds me of Chip Kelly in that regard. Too stubborn for his own good and just unwilling to stray from his system.

At the end of the day though, I can't be too mad considering OSU was at home and favored to win by 7. I think OSU is winning out, but stranger things have happened.
2627869, I guess Ohio State ain’t Akron
Posted by legsdiamond, Sun Oct-29-17 08:14 AM
Fuck PSU... lol

I still kinda like them but Franklin said some hoe shit after beating Pitt this year.
2627874, Two best OL/DL recruiters in the nation: Saban and Urbz
Posted by bshelly, Sun Oct-29-17 09:18 AM
Sometimes it really is that simple. In this case, we've got a generational talent at rb and a borderline All American at qb throwing behind a line of freshman and sophomores. That just wasn't going to wash against the normal death legion urbz trots out on the DLine. When you get out gained by 200 yards, you can only be but so mad, and I congratulate Ohio State. They were the better team on the day.
2627921, We have a 5 star stud DE/LB here in Harrisburg for the taking
Posted by Mignight Maruder, Sun Oct-29-17 07:50 PM
but like so many great players from Harrisburg in years past, you can't feel confident he will end up at PSU. In fact, the odds are really against him choosing PSU over OSU, Bama, etc.

If you ever get the chance to see him, Micah Parsons is an absolute wrecking ball. He could probably play RB at the DI level anywhere, but his future is at DE/OLB. 6'3 240 of rock solid muscle with elite sprinter speed. He's the real deal and is the leader of the #1 ranked Harrisburg team. He would help solidify the DL and give PSU's defense a marquee pass rusher they've been desperately in search for.

But back to your point. Yes, PSU was flat out dominated in the trenches and the discrepancy in talent was on full display. I'm not upset at the fact they lost - they would lose that game in those conditions 9 times out of 10. I am upset at the conservative play-calling and atrocious defense down the stretch though. A game that was gift wrapped, but given away.
2627929, from what I understand, OSU isn't actively recruiting parsons
Posted by 3xKrazy, Sun Oct-29-17 08:54 PM
because of off the field concerns.
2627904, as an aside, UGA v Bama will finally be a worthy SEC Championship
Posted by dillinjah, Sun Oct-29-17 03:42 PM
It's too bad both teams can't lose.
