I like it. The coach keep his team at full strength, and the spring portal is a bad idea for players, because so many open spots are taken by then. He's got a lot of players that want to experience the playoffs but would be better served to get in the portal now to maximize their potential to find a good landing spot.

Tez was not a finalist for the award. Final three are Hunter, McMillan and some dude from SJSU I've never heard of. Perhaps the injury took too much away from his season performance at a most inopportune time. Then again, if you look at how different our offense performed with him vs. without him... but I don't think they think that way for this award. Other notable non finalists are OSU and Bama freshman receivers.

This. Travis was the top recruit in the country even as a non QB, for a reason. He's lived up to that as being the best two way player since playing both ways stopped being a thing. He produces at a high level both ways, doing things athletically that few can match. I think the only receivers more explosive as athletically are Tez Johnson And Ryan Williams from Bama. Playing defense he's a lock down corner as good as Muhammad on our team. So I think he wins, even though his team is irrelevant to the title race un like Boise State and Oregon. I love what Gabriel has done and expect him to play even better in every game from here on out. It is tough to really see him as special when Bo was clearly better than him last year, which is a weird thing to feel and say. If I could vote for a Heisman it would be Jeanty. He is the head and shoulders best, generational talent at a position as I've seen in a while. And Cam Ward.. don't care.

We are a very good team, but I am not sure we are dominant enough to keep surviving away games at top 7 ranked teams. Oregon has a significant advantage with the Rose Bowl being on the West Coast and our fans having 3 weeks to make the arrangements, vs a back east team having one week against existing holiday plans. That's the only thing going for us the rest of the way.

Well, unlike FSU last year, the backup may be better than the injured starter with the given sample size. Coaches may think twice amount 1st half hail Marys going forward.

Is there any way to separate 2024 and 2025 articles?

Our entire DL was incapable of shedding blocks from the OL, getting up and down the line and getting into the backfield. We weren't getting pushed back, but more of a stalemate without the ability to get free to tackle. Their OL has heavy hands as they say and have great technique of holding without it looking obvious enough to call it. Really riding that line. By far the toughest challenge omw had all year at the LOS.

Are we saying how we'd put it, or how we think the committee will put it? If I'm following the bracket rules and want the best 12 teams for the playoffs it would be: Oregon Georgia Arizona State Boise State Ohio State Penn State Texas Notre Dame Tennessee Indiana South Carolina Clemson I feel that 5-8 are interchangeable, as well as 9-12. BSU and ASU would be in that 9-12 tier, but for the seeding. What I think we'll get in a half hour from the committee is: Oregon Georgia BSU ASU Texas Notre Dame Penn State Ohio State Tennessee Indiana Alabama Clemson

I was a major proponent of the idea that B1G defenses were good because their offenses are bad. In hindsight I believe it's both. No way this Ducks team doesn't get to 45+ points multiple times in the old PAC 12. At the same time, no way does our defense have the numbers they did this year against PAC12 offenses.

This was the first time this year I felt the Defensive staff did not properly prepare the players for the opponent. The DL couldn't figure out how to set the edges, the LB were lost much of the time due to the presnap window dressing, and secondary kept blowing assignments against the WR route tree. Not enough hours in the day for the coaches to close out the recruiting class, evaluate a team they didn't prep for all year, and teach the players what to look for and how to handle it in film study and against the scout team.

It creates a level playing field for once with the ranked choice voting. No McCaffrey screw overs, it will be close and be down to what is valued most.

This was my biggest concern in this game. I'm glad we stayed injury free. Now if we can stay injury free in practice that would be even better.

This Muppets illustration is perfect. The coverage started with these dudes in the press box and I was saying to myself, "Where did they (B1G/CBS) dig up these old fossils to announce the game?"

Does anybody think PSU or UO would have lost to Georgia or Texas the way everyone played today? I don't think so.

That's the worst justification ever for bouncing a more deserving team, but I think you're gonna be right.

Thanks! That was impressive for MSU to have done that too.

Has that even been done before?

Penn State is equally as good as Ohio State. We are barely better than both.

YES!

Come'on get the 1st down!

OMG! I COULDN'T FINISH TYPING IT!

Defense has struggled a lot this game. Every down is 4 down territory for State. Plenty of time left. We need a pick

Gotta tip your cap to Penn State on the touchdown.

Warren looks exhausted. Again this is 7th game in a row for State.and 11:30pm.

The Penn State route tree is giving our defense fits.
