Go Ducks.

[Political Hack]

he was down and Oregon recovered it

[starkvegasdawg]

Ready for Dan to wonder when either team will put in the 1b's.

[msstate7]

Nice drive. Buckeyes need to answer

[EngineerDawg]

mullen talking adjustments on espn2. Must be defensive.....

[msstate7]

Jones is a man

[Dawg61]

Ducks look awesome

[Political Hack]

what a catch.

[msstate7]

Elliot is an awesome rb

[msstate7]

Haha ducks

[Dawg61]

Ducks WRs are killing them

[Dawg61]

Wow Ohio State looks awesome now

[msstate7]

Elliott is one heck of a rb.

[PMDawg]

Why did the refs keep them in the game? Holding not called to extend first drive. Holding in endzone not called keep them from going down 9-0 and oregon with the ball. Later a gift first down on a favorable spot to let the keep the scoring drive alive. I knew it was gonna be rough when they said "big 12 refs".

[PMDawg]

Looking like the fix is in. "Missed" PI call.

[Political Hack]

wild how this game has flip flopped that quickly. I still think Oregon has the horses to win it though.

[Dawg61]

Ohio State about to blow out the Ducks? Looking that way

[msstate7]

Looking like the fix is in. "Missed" PI call.

Come on pm... Did the refs make oregon drop 2 first down catches too?

[Political Hack]

Ohio State about to blow out the Ducks? Looking that way

no... not gonna happen.

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Who is the projected staring QB next year for OSU? 3rd string guy looks pretty damn good

[TUSK]

If Urban goes all "Phat Phil", OSU wins.

[msstate7]

Dumb move by oregon. 4th and goal from the 4. Oregon's coach needs to realize he's not playing Arizona

[TUSK]

yup.

[bluelightstar]

Everybody was selling Urban Meyer way too short.

"I'll stad you in the eye with a soldering iron."

[Political Hack]

Corey Smith.... a hahahahahaha.

just kidding. that sucks. hate it for the kid.

[msstate7]

Corey smith... Remember him?

[CadaverDawg]

Corey Smith.... a hahahahahaha.

just kidding. that sucks. hate it for the kid.

They just said he was a redshirt freshman? Is that not the JUCO Corey Smith we recruited hard?

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

You're talking to my guy all wrong

[TUSK]

Everybody was selling Urban Meyer way too short.

Hey, who you callin' "short"???* (looking around for My Dark Lord's laser eye-beams)

[defiantdog]

They just said he was a redshirt freshman? Is that not the JUCO Corey Smith we recruited hard?

Wrong Smith..... D. Smith is the redshirt.

[CadaverDawg]

Wrong Smith..... D. Smith is the redshirt.

Ok. I didn't think I had lost my mind

[msstate7]

Meyer is not losing this game.

[Political Hack]

You're talking to my guy all wrong

well played sir.

[msstate7]

I'm glad mullen is being forced to watch this game. Pay attention to your teacher (meyer), Dan. He's (meyer) is aggressive, aggressive, aggressive

[msstate7]

MM's speed is being neutralized by the Buckeyes

[CadaverDawg]

Looks like the SEC is still winning the Title....Urban just took the SEC to Ohio State.

[msstate7]

Looks like the SEC is still winning the Title....Urban just took the SEC to Ohio State.

Yep. Ohio state out-SECed the sec this year.

[DanDority]

Oregon doesn't have the horses to stay in this game.

[msstate7]

If Ohio state holds on to win the natty, this may be the best coaching job like ever by meyer. They lost miller. Started the year horribly. Righted the ship with jt Barrett only to lose him too. Then blast wisconsin to win big 10 and take down saban to get to chanpionship. Very impressive

[TUSK]

God, if Bammer only had a true QB, it'd be a 754th NC...:rolleyes:

[Political Hack]

"Urban Meyer met his wife on Farmers Only" sign won an award from jimmy kimmel. that ea sleety funny, but I'm damn impressed that Farmers Only just got that kind of pub for free.

[DudyDawg]

Anyone else surprised how much they showed on the mean tweets segment? Herbie dropping and F bomb, SVP talking penis, heather Cox talking about having a pornstar name. Surprised they put that on honestly

[Dawg61]

No more making fun of Ohio State. They are legit.

Link? I'd like to see that.

[TUSK]

Damn, 61... I meant to forward you that memo from 2 weeks ago*.

[thunderclap]

How the hell is 12 a third team Qb? Impressive.

[bluelightstar]

Unbelievable how Ohio State is just turning the ball over. They really feel like a better team than Oregon.

[msstate7]

How the hell is 12 a third team Qb? Impressive.

Have you seen the other 2? Miller and Barrett are great too

[Dawg61]

How the hell is 12 a third team Qb? Impressive.

Jones is the best of the three imo. He is so calm and elusive.

[Outside Dawg]

I was a little surprised. I'm fine with it, but I didn't expect to need to put ear muffs on my 3 year old while watching espn pre-game.

[msstate7]

Big score from the ducks.

[msstate7]

He dropped that ball before he crossed

[Quaoarsking]

Dropping the ball right before a TD should be an automatic ejection.

[Dawg61]

Wow what an idiot WR for Oregon

[msstate7]

How in the heck was that confirmed? Letting it stand wouldve been understandable

[Political Hack]

wild how this game has flip flopped that quickly. I still think Oregon has the horses to win it though.

I agree.

[Political Hack]

How in the heck was that confirmed? Letting it stand wouldve been understandable

you could see the "finger swipe" up the side of the ball when he slipped it lose. it was past the goal line. but I agree it would've been smarter to say the play stands as called.

[maroonmania]

Amazes me how many times players either drop or almost drop the ball prior to crossing the goal line. Heck, we had 2 or 3 different MSU players do that this year. If I had a player that did that during a game I would immediately have him do 50 pushups on the sideline.

[msstate7]

Does this crew understand the difference between letting something stand and confirming it?

[msstate7]

Wow. 4 TO's?

[Dawg61]

4 turnovers wow

[thunderclap]

Have you seen the other 2? Miller and Barrett are great too

My point is why would he go sit? He could start at about 100 schools.

[mstatefan91]

Ohio State is struggling to hold on to the ball. Jones just straight up dropped that one

[msstate7]

4 TO's and still winning. Ohio state is clearly the better team

[msstate7]

My point is why would he go sit? He could start at about 100 schools.

No idea. He's not sitting though. He's playing for a natty, but I get your point

[msstate7]

They are punishing oregon regardless of score

[Barking 13]

funny story and a little off topic... I'm staying in a hotel in Mobile, and decide it's time for a smoke and take a break from the game. Come back in from the smoke and a couple guys in the lobby watching the game see my M-State shirt and make some off hand comment, and I respond with "We were number one"... shut 'em up...

[Dawg61]

Ohio State RB is a Mark Ingram clone

[msstate7]

Ohio State RB is a Mark Ingram clone

Hes a soph. The Buckeyes will have jones and Barrett back too. Meyer may be building the next dynasty.

[msstate7]

Can't spell C-H-O-K-E with "The oregon Ducks"

[TUSK]

dude, I thought that earlier (for real)... tough to tackle, sheds tacklers, carries his team, etc... #15 is faster than #22, though... I think... not certain.

good observation....

[thunderclap]

Without half those turnovers this is a complete route.

[msstate7]

There's no way I'd pick MM #1. He looks really soft to me

[bluelightstar]

So, you're telling me Mariota's stats were as great as they were because of Pac-12 defense? I'm shocked.


(I still think he's a great QB, but yeah.)

[TUSK]

There's no way I'd pick MM #1. He looks really soft to me

other than their RB (#21?) Oregon is "what we/I thought they were".... fast and soft....

I don't like OSU, but I really hate "basketball on turf" more....

Oregon just quit with the punt at 7:43 to go.... I dislike a quitter more than a pu$$y....

they can't take that away. it's insane to think about though. we weren't on this playing field earlier. Ohio State or a Oregon would've crushed us in this game, but early on we we're pretty damn good.

[msstate7]

What caused the collapse for us? Did we get satisfied with being #1? We were not the same team after we reached #1

[Barking 13]

We got figured out (too predictable) and the defense just quit.... (or forgot fundamentals)

[TUSK]

What caused the collapse for us? Did we get satisfied with being #1? We were not the same team after we reached #1

MS7, I'll get smoked for this, but I think the schedule set up well for you cats....

1 - caught LSU early in BR, they've no QB, & no HC... squeaked it out
2 - got up 21-0 on TOs to AU at home in the first nine minutes... squeaked it out

I think it was around this time yall hit #1.... not sure...

3 - struggled at UK... squeaked it out
4 - struggled vs AR... squeaked it out
5 - avoided a bad loss at Bammer... didn't hurt yall much...
6 - smoked Vandy
7 - caught "Good Bo"... like Bammer did....

I think it was a combination of:
a) poor secondary
b) questionable D subs in certain situations
c) no "game breaker" at RB
d) no dominating OL
e) poor ST
f) inconsistent passing game
g) hard headed coaching

just my thoughts...

we did catch a good schedule from a timing standpoint but Bama wasn't good enough to hand us a bad loss. played our worst game of the year offensively and still almost came back. Bama was fools gold all year and it showed against Ohio State. We play Bama at home or a neutral field and we would've yeller jammer hammered that ass so bad it would make a bear blush. Bama wasn't that good this year and won't be next either.

Spotlight got put on us early

Hack, I dig ya bro... but the discussion had nothing to do with "Bammer V MSU"...

It was about MSU and their season...

Now, if you'd like to turn it into a "UA at MSU 2015" discussion, I'd be happy to...




but, it won't be for free.

[sandwolf]

No question that the schedule set up well for us, but we absolutely dominated both of these games.

We had the exact same number of turnovers as Auburn did, yet we led by double digits for over 75% of the game and beat them by 15......that ain't squeaking it out.

And yea, we only beat LSU by 5 and we had to fend off a hail mary as time expired, so I guess you can make the case that we squeaked it out. But we absolutely dominated their asses up to that point in the game. We led by 24 in the 4th quarter and by 18 with 1:55 left in the game. Then we made the mistake of putting our scrubs in the game which led to a fluke turnover that allowed them to get within a score. We absolutely whipped their ass for 58 minutes of that game.....we just took our foot off the gas too early.

Dude, I don't disagree with anything you said....

but all of that goes both ways, buddy....

I (also) wish my guys would "finish" teams better (than they have been).... it could've been a big year for an inexperienced Bammer team.

[Dawgface]

Bama wasn't that good this year and won't be next either.

I wish we could get to that level. Came close, but not there.
