Let's discuss all the other CFB games of the day in this thread, and we do NOT discuss the Oregon game here, as we will have a separate GameDay thread for our game. 

 

(I will delete posts about the Oregon game, as we need to keep the discussions separate) 

 

Do provide score updates when you can, as well as your thoughts of what you saw in all the other games.  A rich line-up of games to discuss!

 

 

 

 We've gone over the pro's & con's of Ohio State or Penn State, and what I've come up with is it would be more fun to watch tOSU meltdown after the loss. Go Penn State!

Penn State, passing and running down the field n the opening possession, 2 3rd & 1's converted so far. 

The Ohio State defense looks tentative to me.  They don't seem to be playing free, they seem to be playing to not make mistakes.

I don't think I've EVER rooted for Duke in anything, but they've got ALL my support against Miami today!!

Same, and I agree about tOSU's tentative defense. PSU's offense hasn't looked great all season, stalls in the red zone, 3-0. 

Pick six by Penn State.

OBD broke Ohio State.  That's all folks.  They are NOT the same team.

Penn State penalty on extra point, makes it anyway, 10-0. 

Did Oregon break Ohio State? 

 

I mean they haven't looked the same since. 

Gus Washington: "This is not the start Ohio State wanted."

Maybe Oregon broke Chip Kelly also!  😂😂😂

tOSU showing some life.  Nice play call to get the ball to those receivers.

Are we Ohio State fans today?

Well, first Smith runs down the sideline untouched for 29 yards, then Howard finds Egbuka wide open in the end zone, 10-7. Can't these B1G teams play defense?

I can't do that.

If they beat Penn State, our win against them looks better.

Kinda. 

 

It makes things simpler if Ohio State beats Penn State right now as Oregon hoods the tie breaker over Ohio State. 

 

Indiana does play Ohio State in a few weeks. 

 

But if Oregon, Penn State and Indiana are all undefeated then the tie breaker goes to who beat Ohio State by more and our 1 point win probably would be the lowest. Which leaves us out of the CCG. 

Duke just absolutely carved up the Miami defense to score their first touchdown.  14-7 Miami.

 

 

tOSU Corner, holding, grabbing Penn State WR, down the field, apparently, Refs, "Letting them play>".

Duke defense harassing Cam Ward, 3 and out and Duke offense back out on the field.

 

Let's go Blue Devils!!

Manny Diaz beating Miami would be perfect!

Yes it would!

That was stupid, stepping over the player to renew tOSU's downs.

That penalty gave tOSU a TD, instead of punting it away. 

So far Ohio State looks, bigger, faster, smarter, than Penn State.

Yep, mental error.  

Duke just tied it up!   Miami's defense is NOT good.  14 - 14.

Ohio State is benefiting from the B1G refs again...

Duke 14 Miami 14

Go Coach D!

Miami 17 Duke 14

Not really sure I am buying that Penn State should be the #3 team in the country right now.

Miami's defense is very undisciplined. Might work in the ACC but they will get destroyed if they make it to a playoff.

I want to play Penn St in Big Ten Championship!  No way they are as good as Ducks!

I've thought that for a while, and they are living up to low expectations today. They are No.3 and underdogs to No.4 at home for a reason. 

Touchdown, Duke 21-17! 

And Duke takes the lead.  21-17 Blue Devils.

They do NOT have the speed to cover Oregon and they don't have the speed on offense to stretch the field.  I would take that matchup any day!!

I would be remiss if I didn't say "one game at a time" before thinking about the Big10 Championship!

 

But, must admit I am peeking ahead a bit.

So, Miami's "Heisman Candidate" got the ball back with 1:34 left in the half to try to lead a drive.

 

A very prompt 3 and out and they just punted back to Duke.  

That isn't a "White-Out" as it looks pretty pink from a distance.  Damn, I gotta give Ohio State fans their due, as they really travel well.

 

I think we are all in agreement that we're Duke fans today  😁 

Penn St bobbles a nice TD catch right into the hands of the defender. I’d love to play that team in the championship but they’re doing everything they can to blow it.

PSU doing what they do best in big games. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I may order a jersey!  😂😂

I’ve seen all I need to see as far as PSU goes. Caveman offense with zero first half TDs. I think tOSU is the second best team in league, but they are playing with fire only up 4.

Minnesota up 13-10 on Illinois at half.

There are a lot of empty seats at the Miami game against a 6-2 conference opponent.  Embarrassing.  

Miami is the #5 team in the nation.  It is astounding to me how many empty seats are in their stadium for a home game!  

 

I get that the 3rd quarter just started and fans may still be getting their libations and snacks but there are A LOT of empty seats.

 

And Duke is marching down their throats!
