Posted January 1, 20223 yr Moderator The Pac-12 in the post season is 0 - FOR including a loss to an 8-4 MAC team. Hopefully, Utah will come through today. Lot of Ohio State guys have opted out but Ohio State will still have plenty of talent on the field. Interesting that a former Mountain West team may be the only Pac-12 team to win a bowl game. How low can you go?
January 1, 20223 yr Utah, pardon the pun, is on a mission. I give them a very good chance to cover the spread, 4.5 points and therefore win the game. I hope they do, as their story is much more compelling than Tosu's ever is.

OS would have lost to two PAC 12 teams in the same season so that would be good for the PAC.
January 1, 20223 yr If OSU thumps Utah ( which i totally expect) , it will increasingly portray the pac12 as a junior league compared to the other "power" conferences. Oregon will look especially weak. Hammered twice by utah...then have utah get slammed by osu. Can you blame recruits for avoiding the pac12? The pac12 is nothing but a baby brother to the sec. Pac12 could take their best players and field a team.....they would still get crushed bu ala and ga.
January 1, 20223 yr MCs teams were not good at understanding x and o's and of course Utah out "physicality'd " us with much older and stronger linemen to be honest-- tOSU is a different beast with much better coaching and a more than fair share of talent--With that said I give Utah a 1 in 3 chance to win. The PAC needs a win so lets hope for the best.
January 1, 20223 yr 6 TDs in one quarter and 6 minutes to go. Can Uncle Phil offer Rising a Duck contract?
January 1, 20223 yr Moderator 35-21 Utes at halftime. The record for most points in a Rose Bowl is 102, Oklahoma 54 Georgia 48, 2018.

January 2, 20223 yr Moderator Imagine if Oregon threw deep passes against Utah’s DB’s. Smith-Njigba is having a field day. Too bad he fumbled one into the end zone.

January 2, 20223 yr Moderator It always starts with a muffed punt snap. The Breeze TD always brings back good memories.
January 2, 20223 yr I love the sign in the stands that read: "all gas no brakes" I hope someone took down Cristobal's "slow children" sign from his office wall.
January 2, 20223 yr Moderator Buckeyes take the lead for the 1st time in the game, 45-38, 4:22 left in the 4th quarter.
January 2, 20223 yr Maybe Im alone in this but IM rootin for Bucky--reasoning? We beat em, gives us a bit of clout after losing to Utah 2 times. Transitive property!! Edited January 2, 20223 yr by 1Ducker1

January 2, 20223 yr Interesting how a team that can throw the ball can actually move the ball against Utah. Here's hoping for Oregon's quarterback next year..
January 2, 20223 yr Utah lost to Oregon St because they had to defend the whole field. Against Oregon, they just put 9 defenders within 10 yards of the LOS because they knew Oregon wouldn't throw the ball downfield and they knew the miami coach would not make any adjustments because his ego prevents it.
January 2, 20223 yr Buckeyes stood around in the 1st quarter with their thumb up their ______ when push came to shove they won out somewhat shorthanded.
January 2, 20223 yr We ran On 1/1/2022 at 6:16 PM, 30Duck said: We ran the ball got the lead didn't cede it didn't allow explosive plays controlled the clock and didn't turn the ball over. An in the zone game. I believe that this team peaked and was reasonably healthy for that game. Edited January 2, 20223 yr by Duck 1972 Missing info

January 2, 20223 yr Well done Utah, a hard fought game where you came up just short, but not on effort. A very enjoyable game to watch and Utah deserved to win, but just didn't have the horses to get it done.
January 2, 20223 yr Author Moderator That looked like an old WAC shoot out in the first half. 2nd half. Utah DL could get no pressure at all on Stroud. Hats off to the Utes back up QB for tying it up but you just knew the Buckeyes were going to run the clock and win. This from an Ohio State team missing 6 starters. Sorry, but I don't think Cincinnati would come close to beating Ohio State. Coming into 2022 Ohio State is loaded. Looks like Ohio State will finish #4 in the final AP Poll. Probably a good thing that UCLA didn't play NC ST. Nice comeback win by OK ST today. Nice blow out win over the Pirate win by Texas Tech. But not good enough for the 'exclusive club.'

January 2, 20223 yr One thing that has become all too clear at the end of the year is that the team Oregon was fielding was completely depleted. He didn't have any reserves and didn't even have a good portion of our starters. That is the team that played and was demolished my Utah. Ohio State got a relatively healthy Oregon team by comparison... Which was still injured and banged up. I don't think this end of year Oregon team could beat much if anyone to be honest... Just too depleted. However, there will be a whole lot of players back and healthy next year.... So watch out college football world.
