Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! I have made a major change in how we will moderate our GameDay threads. Bottom line, is that you will be allowed to spew your frustration, to vent, as you wish. But Note the Parameters: --This is for GameDay threads only; you have to behave in the regular forum threads as in the past. --You cannot take shots at those who disagree with you, just like in the forum during the week. Remember how we discussed this upfront in this thread. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!

Manning was throwing bulletin passes into receivers’ knees from short range. He displayed zero skill at touch passing.

Oh boy.... Pawlll is going to be upset on Monday. He said Texas was going to roll. Is Arch overrated or is the Ohio State defense that good?

A wise man I know, once said, "At the end of a game first downs are more important than touchdowns." Or something like that. Thanks Mr. FishDuck! Yay BIG over the SEC!

My condolences to those of you who bet on Arch winning the Heisman.

As usual, tosu’s trenches look bigger and stronger than everyone else.

Is Texas ever not overrated?

Good vibes only 😁

Yep. Plus, Georgia Tech will always have a place in my heart for: Miami loses after one of the worst coaching mistakes in football history

Georgia Tech, it's coach, and the QB King are one of my favorite teams to watch, such a tough QB and seems like a such of a workmanlike program.

We take care of business and we'll be fine. If we end up with two losses, with our schedule I can totally understand the argument we have no business in the playoff. We really won't have any excuses. Just let the season play out.

Honestly...just a boring game in general, I'm not really surprised, both defenses are obviously very good, but the offensives just seem uninspired and flat. Probably what should be expected considering the QB situation for both teams.

End of the first half, tOSU 7 - Texas 0... Ohio St has 102 yard - Texas 79. -JUGGERNUTS!

A rookie QB is looking pretty good, and itʻs not the surrealistically overhyped one. Just Sayinʻ.

We'll see if these young QBs will get the chance to play more aggressively in the second half.

Hence the B1G wanting to expand the playoff to 20+. Sounds absurd on the surface (to me at least), but professional sports leagues typically put around 35 - 40% of their teams into their playoff. Split off 60-70 teams into the new top division, and yep, 40% of 60 would be a 24 team playoff.

There should be a base metric for opponent win percentage involved. If it is just based on rankings then the SEC beating it’s own over ranked teams will always inflate it’s own rankings. Official rankings should also have nothing to do with pre or early season rankings for the same reasons. If your entire conference is all preseason ranked them somebody will always be beating a ranked team. By seasons end those early season ranked wins won’t mean much if those loosing teams fade throughout the season.

Haven’t you all realized the fix is in. Better rack up some points today.

Sometimes you need to walk the other way…DUMB!!!

I'll never forget that travesty either. They deserved that beat down. OBD would have given Miami a much better game IMHO.

With Dana Holgerson's hire as OC, the Huskers are trying to do so. Dana is from the Mike Leach coaching tree. With a short season after a long off-season, the first game results are usually too touted and too dissed. On the other hand, there was FSU's opening loss to Georgia Tech in Atlanta last season. 😁 Nebraska's next 4 games are in Lincoln, including a Week 5 game vs. Michigan. USC and Iowa are also home games. On the road vs. Maryland, Minnesota, and UCLA are winnable. At Penn State, not so much. Nebraska should be favored in every home game with the possible exceptions of Michigan and USC. Worst case looks like 7-5 with a shot at 10-2 and the PO.

"...new metric would not have been added unless it helped the SEC and ESPN.." The SEC would not have announced they were going to 9 conference games in the near future without it.
