Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

Notre Dame finished the season ranked #5. Penn State #4.

James Franklin has lost 13 straight games against teams ranked #5 or higher.
Ass. Pure ass. The way PSU was blowing up the line of scrimmage in the first half they should have had a much bigger lead.

PSU's lack of any WR threat was apparent, OSU (likely) would have destroyed them in the title game.
 
Game is on Allar. You cannot make that throw to the middle of the field.

I get it falls on the head coach & the record is what it is but I don’t think Franklin really did anything egregious tonight in terms of management like he has in other games of this stature.

From recollection, he went for it on two 4th downs and they converted both. I don't blame Franklin other than the inability to recruit a WR that is a threat.

OSU, who I expect to beat Texas, would have shredded PSU in the title game.

It’s pretty much a major weakness for all three teams that were likely to head out of this bracket (Notre Dame, Penn State, & Georgia). It’s why they all are/were a bad matchup for Ohio State if their coaching staff actually stays committed to throwing the football. Ohio State can match their strengths (defense & running the ball) but they have a card with their passing attack that the others just don’t have because of their talent at WR.

Texas is probably the best shot at taking Ohio State down if anybody is gonna do it because they do have the talent at WR to at least keep up. Ewers is obviously a wild card in all of this.

Ohio State had ridiculous success rate in their first two games of the playoffs now that likely just isn’t sustainable over a four game stretch but they can still take it all even with leveling off some.
