The Victors

I think there’s an argument that by snapping the ball early OSU was not ready for it and it all but assured them of the TD, but otherwise it would have been wise to run more time off of the clock*

• BBA it was 99.9% on ESPN after the holding. They don't have the granular date on ESPN to give before that. But CFB is not PRO and no TO to go 40 yards in 5 plays (dictated by time per play)is almost impossible. Maybe you say that drive has - By Daytripper September 12, 2026 at 11:18:11 PM

  • Sark turned 99.99% into 97% (per AI/ESPN data)* - By TMGeneral September 12, 2026 at 11:24:38 PM
    • And that is aggregated data. Not the OSU WR machine with the best college WR this century. It was a completely insane, unjustifiable decision to snap the ball that early* - By BBA September 12, 2026 at 11:27:29 PM
      • They should have taken a knee on first down as well, and possibly second. If they had scored on first down with 1:30 left, it's anyone's game.* - By jjwalker September 12, 2026 at 11:34:55 PM
        • Correct. OSU should have let them score on first down* - By BBA September 12, 2026 at 11:43:09 PM
      • I agree with you BBA. Giving the other team a 2% advantage is coaching malpractice.* - By TMGeneral September 12, 2026 at 11:29:43 PM
        • Oh, I know. My response was to your post, but directed to daytripper. Texas still very likely to win, but snapping the ball there gave OSU a chance when they should have had no chance* - By BBA September 12, 2026 at 11:32:40 PM

  • ugh what. unlike PRO clock stops after 1st downs, so in CFB it's actually easier* - By 6p September 12, 2026 at 11:19:25 PM
    • I'm talking about skill dude. A college kicker, staff, qb, are not going 40 yards in 5 plays with a prevent D, clock stop or not.* - By Daytripper September 12, 2026 at 11:22:07 PM
      • You are just digging in on a bad take. If OSU completes a 20 yard pass over the middle of the field, the clock stops, they catch up and spike the ball and have 15-17 seconds to go 20 yards. If you think Texas fans would not have been shitting themselves, you are not thinking clearly* - By BBA September 12, 2026 at 11:31:29 PM

      • college pass rushers and college defenders* - By 6p September 12, 2026 at 11:23:42 PM
  • Sorry - but what’s the argument against running clock?** - By xcheck September 12, 2026 at 11:19:16 PM
    • on 3rd down you score, that's my argument and the tail is very long at that point but not assured to go to zero* - By Daytripper September 12, 2026 at 11:21:20 PM
      • Ok. But, on 3rd down should you snap it with 20 secs on the play clock? What’s the case for that?** - By xcheck September 12, 2026 at 11:22:44 PM
        • to get the fucking score and turn all the emotion, without pushing 18-24 year olds to execute that far outside their athletic zones at that time* - By Daytripper September 12, 2026 at 11:24:28 PM
          • I get where you’re coming from, but you’re not right about this. In that circumstance, there was literally no downside to running the clock.* - By weebay September 12, 2026 at 11:40:25 PM
          • I don’t know what an athletic zone is. Middle school kids playing Madden know to run clock, no?** - By xcheck September 12, 2026 at 11:26:55 PM
          • How much are you boozing tonight?* - By BBA September 12, 2026 at 11:26:09 PM
