College Football Tough Calls Week 2 Sept 11, 2010

[phins]

The U should be blowing Ohio State out, but due to their own mistakes, they're actually losing. Missed two wide open guys in the end zone, and result is three points (instead of 14). Dropped three Int's, one of which would have been a pick 6.

Miami is not good enough to make this many mistakes and overcome them.

Or OSU should be blowing them out if they could tackle on special teams.

FSU and OU will probably be the best game this weekend. I actually like FSU in that game.

Um, no.

Yeah, that one is pretty ugly. Landry Jones has 321 and 3 TDs at halftime for a team that is supposed to rely on the running game.

What? OSU couldn't put it in the end zone despite about 6 times starting on Miami's side.

I'm sorry, but the loss was all about Miami's mistakes, rather than Ohio State doing much that was special.

Give them credit for that without a doubt, not making mistakes, or beating yourself is a big deal in college football, especially at home.

Yeah, didn't make sense to me either.[/quote]

What about it doesn't make sense? Miami throws Int, OSU can't put it in end zone. Miami throws Int despite getting field goals, or hitting wide open guys in the end zone.

That isn't OSU, that's Miami. It would have been 21-3 in the first quarter if the dang QB could just throw the football to open guys. Miami got the returns by making good plays, so that's on them. Same for OSU's solid plays.

That two play drive to score a TD was impressive. Most of the rest was just taking advantage of things given to you by Miami, which as I said, is a good thing, and something I wish Miami did, instead of being the one gift wrapping games.

They drop two TD passes and then get a field goal blocked. Catch one of those, and it's still a different game despite four turnovers and dropping three interceptions right in their arms, one of which would have been a pick 6, and another that would have halted a drive that scored 3 points. Mistake after mistake by Miami, and none of those players are plays that Ohio State "forced."

The hype around Denard Robinson is going to be awful.

Miami was his dream school, but they only wanted him as a DB. He certainly couldn't do any better than the 21 interceptions in his past 12 games Jacory Harris.

Herb Kerkstreit never praises any BigTen teams except the one that he quarterbacked to an 8-3 record his senior year.

[JunkBondTrader]

Heh, there goes my enthusiasm for this season. I guess the goal for the year is going to be to finish inside the top 100 in total defense.

What a weekend this has been.

FSU getting completely humiliated, Cardinals losing, me dealing with the worst head cold I've ever had as well as an abscessed tooth without any pain meds.

Yeah, Kirby doesn't praise too many Big 10 teams. But, they normally only have Big 10 in the limelight to be fair.

Iowa's dream run for a while last year notwithstanding.

You said something to the effect of "Miami should be blowing out OSU". Which is only true from the most homerific view. Miami had about 100 yards of offense in the first half. Turnovers included, you aren't dominating anybody with 100 yards of offense in a half.

Ohio State also kicked 6 FG attempts. That is a ton. 4 of those FG makes were 24, 21, 24, and 24 yards. Which means all four of those were snapped from inside the 10 yard line.

Miami could have won, and they could have gotten killed. They were never going to dominate that game today. And no, tOSU isn't that great, but your Big 10 hate is showing.

The good news for you Phinstd, is that Jacory Harris plays better than he dresses. .

Alabama is going to be really hard to beat this year.
