CFP National Championship: Ohio State vs Notre Dame Jan 20 7:30 ESPN

Good ole prevent defense. Why in the hell do all coaches not ever learn????

 

[Pennheel]

That just happened.

 

[Wezcoast]

I was hoping OSU at least ran them off the field the first half so we wouldn't look as bad . Oh well.

3rd and Chavis flashbacks

 

[adam.vol]

It only took OSU 13 seconds..

 

[UTFanForLife]

It looked helmet to helmet to me. It wouldn't surprise me if we don't see him again tonight.

Yeah right to the back of the head. Steps were a tad wobbly getting up too.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

When is the last time TN ran a screen like that?

 

[BreatheUT]

That was just bad strategy.

 

[MAD]

Killer and Ohio State gets the ball in 2nd half.

This

Could be 21-7 before Texas touches the ball again.

I think Johnny Majors used it vs Notre Dame pretty successfully.

It looked like back of the neck to me, but I really don’t see a difference in player safety. A broken spine is worse than a bruised brain.

I’ve watched all of these playoff games so far and maybe it’s just lack of execution but our offense looks stone age compared to these other teams. These other teams appear to run multiple sets and plays. Guys getting separation having a step on the DBs.

When we don’t have an elite play maker at QB, our offense looks way too simple to defend.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

What a Joke sarkisian is! He gives his kicker the speech of a lifetime, acting like he loves him etc, before missing a potential game winning kick last game. Now he benches him lol..

In fairness he might have seen the Auburn kid miss several in practices. Some kickers once their head is gone it's time to pull em if you have another option.

We are only allowed to run bubble screens for 2 yard gains.

OSU 36.4
Texas 34.3
Tennessee 32.9

Not a big difference.

2001 vs UGA?

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

When is the last time TN ran a screen like that?

I feel 2001 Travis Stephen's against Georgia to take the lead. Unfortunately David Greene threw the pass to the fullback that Larry Munsons famous "Hobnail Boot" call on radio happened. I remember jumping up and down like crazy in the student section going berserk on the Stephens screen house call.

I'm sure there is one more recent but that's the one I will never forget. Then we squib kicked.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

2001 vs UGA?

Maybe my fear was right if that's the last one you remember? Lol so sad. Either way you beat me to it.

 

[DirtyDawg]

Texas screwed up. Defense was playing well, so let’s play prevention defense and give them a chance for an explosive play! Not smart!!! This isn’t on the players

 

[Vol737]

When is the last time TN ran a screen like that?

Yep, and that’s exactly how you set up the screen.

 

[C-south]

Maybe my fear was right if that's the last one you remember? Lol so sad. Either way you beat me to it.

Was leaving the stadium and it erupted when Stephens broke it. Then of course our happiness was quickly brought back in check.

 

[wmcovol]

I think they’re going to need to use Arch situationally if they’re going to have a shot. If it’s 3rd and 3 or less might as well bring him in to give them an extra dimension to defend.

Arch looked like he got that bell rung.

 

[Flipdaddy]

OSU 36.4
Texas 34.3
Tennessee 32.9

Not a big difference.

Not sure I understand. What are those numbers?

 

[wmcovol]

That absolutely didn't happen. It would imply he purposely lost to Oregon and Michigan.

Not necessarily. Every staff, if they’re very good, adds things as the season goes on. I do think they underestimated Michigan being able to hold them to 10 pts.
