Rose bowl

[msstate7]

Hope it's a good game

[DownwardDawg]

It just doesn't seem right for Penn State to already be in a game this big since their sanctions. It didn't hurt their program at all.

[MafiaDawg]

It shows how down right shitty the big10 is.

[ShotgunDawg]

The media has been pimping the USC QB Darnold. I'm curious to see if he's worth a crap or just another media creation

Or it could have something to do with franklin as HC. He's pretty dang good... back-to-back 9 win seasons at vandy

Appears to be a smart QB that sees the field.

Windup arm action won't work at the higher levels or likely against elite competition.

Solid college QB that can win. Falls into the Greg McElroy category for me

[ShotgunDawg]

Probably both. No doubt Franklin is a hell of a coach, but the Big 10 is fairly easy to elevate in. Especially for a team like Penn State that is the flagship school of a heavily populated state & has about 700 K living alumni

If you really think about the advantages & disadvantages of a job, Penn State isn't that much different than Ohio State in terms of resources. Both have great traditions, both in the Big 10, both are the flagship school in a states that are just about the same size population wise, and both are in cold weather states. About the only real advantages Ohio State has over Penn State is the location of the school within the state & Urban Meyer

Dang it guys, I thought this was going to be UM NCAA news

He is a redshirt freshman. He may not be a superstar yet but he is going to be a good one.

[ShotgunDawg]

He's already solid.

I just don't see him as a high ceiling guy because I don't love the athleticism or arm action. He's solid.

Just because he's a redshirt freshman doesn't mean he will physically improve very much. Players are like a finger print. They don't change. They just get stronger & a little smarter.

Dak didn't change from freshman to senior year? I disagree with your statement

[ShotgunDawg]

He refined himself, but he didn't become a completely different player.

As a freshman you saw the ability. All the tools were already there. He just refined things & became more consistent.

Dak's ceiling never changed. He just reached it.

For a guy like Darnold, he's a very solid QB, but he's basically already close to his ceiling.

You have the innate ability to talk out of both sides of your mouth. Not quite as well as PreacherMatt, but damn close....

I don't care if that guy is the best coach ever, The shit that Penn State covered up for years was reprehensible and they should have never been allowed to take another snap in a college football game. The entire program should have been burned to the ground.

[Beaver]

Hope it's a good game

Very entertaining so far. USC looks like the better team, but Penn State keeps battling back.

[basedog]

Rose Bowl Game is like watching a 7 on 7 scrimmage. No defense but hey only a few in the country play defense.

I wish the NCAA would change some rules on defense, now days you can't touch QB or the receivers.

In today's games offense is the way to go, just outscore your opponent and be solid in the kicking games.

I suppose one day football will be a gloried flag football game.

Liberal left already well on their way to making the flag football a reality. Pay attention to their attacks on the game and you'll see how.

Enjoyed it so far. That 2nd PSU TD was not a TD though. Dude was juggling it all the way until the time he was falling out of bounds and his second foot wasn't even in bounds anyway. Not sure how that one was upheld.

I'd prefer a more defensive college football myself

Dumbest shit I've read on this board...

[Turfdawg67]

PSU's receivers are making their QB look great. Ross may have lost money due to his bowl game, but Godwin has made a fortune!!

[Really Clark?]

Dak just mentioned at the Rose Bowl by sideline reporter as how USC coaches compares their Freshman QB poise

[msstate7]

I wish we had a rb that could break a 70 yarder

[Really Clark?]

I wish we had a rb that could break a 70 yarder

We do, he just also plays QB

[msstate7]

Haha true

[Turfdawg67]

I'm sorry... I stand corrected on my earlier statement. We do... his name is Aeris AND we have a QB that can and has done it too.

[Really Clark?]

Boy I almost wished they hadn't brought Keith Jackson in the booth. I loved his calls over the years but that was a little uncomfortable. But understand wanting to give someone of his stature some air time.

[tcdog70]

It was like he would lose his train of thought. Very weak. Still love the Man. Whoa Nellie

One if the best of all time and my favorite calling College Football games. But I agree he seemed to struggle to stay on track and completely misunderstand a question.

Yeah, I totally agree. That was painful to see. Honestly, I didn't even know who it was until I rewound to see his name, and he is probably the top football announcer ever.

Did he have a stroke or something?

[RocketDawg]

I have a feeling about half of the Sugar Bowl will be shown on ESPN News. Still 10 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, and a half hour away from SB start time.

[Red Sox Dawg]

He has really aged. He was one of my favorites. Hope he is doing well.

I'm not sure. He is 88 so old age more than anything may be the issue.

Hey hey hey now!

[RocketDawg]

USC scores a touchdown, then did you see how their QB intentionally slipped so he could get the 2 point conversion? Very crafty of him .... **

[maroonmania]

Yep, and he called what is still the most important football game MSU has played in modern times --- the 1998 SEC championship game.

[RocketDawg]

Yep, and he called what is still the most important football game MSU has played in modern times --- the 1998 SEC championship game.

And unfortunately there was no backup channel then, so we missed almost the first half of the game when the Big 10 (?) championship game went into overtime. We were doing great before we came on television.

[RocketDawg]

Terrible call for unnecessary roughness. I'm not sure he even touched the guy.

[msstate7]

If penn state gets Godwin (junior) to come back, watch out... mcsorely and Barkley are sophomores. They start a senior at center, but start 3 freshmen and a sophomore on the oline. The senior center is the only starter on offense that's a senior. They only have 3 seniors starting on defense. Penn state and Ohio state are gonna be very good next season

[maroonmania]

Doesn't seem to be USC's night. Calls going against them, all of the tipped balls are falling into the hands of PSU players. And as I type this USC gets called for targeting.

Should've been there...

[basedog]

So Cal sho ain't what they use to be. PAC 10 just sucks, gotta be the softest and worse Power 5 conference.

[Bucky Dog]

Pretty cool that PSU team took a knee around the SC receiver when down with a blown knee!

[Cooterpoot]

We could average 45 a game in the PAC 12. Be top 15 most years.

[Liverpooldawg]

Refs are gonna make sure Ped State wins this one.

[RocketDawg]

Would have been, but it wasn't possible. Let's just say I watched it on a hospital television.

[msstate7]

Penn state has been a very good offense since losing to Michigan.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

They sure are doing a lot of slipping and sliding on that Mississippi State grass

[civildawg]

I was just about to ask what the heck is up with the turf

[Really Clark?]

USC just tied the game. 1:20 left

[Liverpooldawg]

Hey shotgun, the kid ain't bad!

[RocketDawg]

Wild game for sure. Pretty good chance USC gets a FG here.

[Really Clark?]

Wow. INT by USC with 27 seconds left and in Penn St 33 yard line

[RocketDawg]

Didn't step out. 50ish yard field goal if they don't move the ball.

[Really Clark?]

USC wins!!

[RocketDawg]

Quite an ending.

[Liverpooldawg]

NOPE, NOT BAD AT ALL! FIGHT ON!!!!!! FIRE UP CONQUEST!

[Cooterpoot]

Helton is a dead ringer for Bobby Hill.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Eat shit Franklin, a person with the rare combination of smuggary and bitch-ass-ness. Its not often one person embodies both traits.

[msstate7]

Watching that rose bowl kinda makes me miss the days of bowls pre-BCS. I liked it when these bowls determined the champion even if it was messed up

[maroonmania]

Quite an ending.

Yea, I had flashbacks to the 99 Egg Bowl. Only difference was the INT didn't require a tip.

[LC Dawg]

The semifinals weren't anywhere close to the Orange or the Rose (and a few more bowls) and I doubt the championship is either. The lesser bowls are usually mainly for the respective fan bases but the upper bowls are often great games.

[Bucky Dog]

Hope it's a good game

So?????

[Liverpooldawg]

Me too.

[msstate7]

So?????

It was no St. Petersburg bowl, but ok**

[KB21]

Sam Darnold is the real deal. That kid can play. There aren't many NFL quarterbacks that can make the throw he made to tie the game.

He didn't play against Bama not that it would have mattered all that much.

They got a LOT better as the season went on. Don't tell some of our people but it does happen. It happens quite a bit actually.

[TUSK]

Yup, USC is gonna be legit, next year... They were arguably the 2nd most talented team in the country this year...
