CFP Semifinals part deux: 3 Ohio State vs 2 Clemson 800 PM EST

[Jared Patterson]

So can we still land Wilson without a trade or do Lions for sure take a QB?

At this point we might need to start going over film (YouTube video) of Sam Howell and the OU QB bc lol just in case man

He’s still going first overall. Teams and scouts aren’t going to panic like fans off of one game. 

Yes, one game doesn't decide the fate of the top rated QB for years.  I still don't think he's a sure fire hit a la Luck etc.  I may be wrong and wish all the young guys the best in the pros.

LOL! Dabo is such a mouth breather. He doubled down on his statements. Said he didn't regret anything he said. That any team that hadn't played at least 9 games had no business in the top 10. He mad.

Can't say that when you just got your ass handed to you by said team.  Take your medicine like a man!

Etienne would have been third string in Chapel Hill this year. 

I wouldn't say that, he would have been in the rotation though.

Etienne is a good back and I *think* has been playing hurt.

Where’s all the guys saying Fields can read the field? I pointed out earlier in the game he was going through multiple reads even on the first plays and they all went quiet. 

I'll step up and say I didn't think Fields went through his progressions well.....all season long.  I was surprised to see it tonight, but will hold total judgement to see how he does against Bama.  His O-line deserves a lot of credit for allowing him time to go through his tree.

This one was very surprising. Congrats to OSU, absolutely demolished them.

Hell what could he say at that point. My bad? He had to stand behind it. Bigger thing to me as you n I spoke on it. Does that missed TE early open up a 14-0 lead and what does that change in game dynamics? Kind of reminded me of the Cothery robbery in the Superbowl. That one play changed the game. Disgusting the booth didn't even get it right.

[SmittysLawnGuy]

I've never heard anyone say that wasn't a catch except the booth.

[SmittysLawnGuy]

Hope Lance shows out at the combine. If so we're getting one of them.

If anyone thinks that college football isn't just as rigged as pro ball.....

I actually wanted Fields to play lights out, that way Wilson drops to us.

I think the truth was always Lawrence was going to be the first QB off the board and Fields was always going to be second. I think scouts and NFL people look at the body of work and understand that this is an odd covid year. Fields sophomore year was still better than Wilson’s season this year. And it was against better competition. 
 

People bring up Fields having time to throw in this game so he was able to go through progressions and ignore the fact that BYU had the best offensive line on college football against the competition they played. Fields was always being judged under a much harsher microscope than Lance or Wilson. 
 

On a national stage last night even for most haters Fields went from undesirable to undeniable.

OSU has more 5 and 4 stars than the entire big 10 combined, the talented disparity between OSU and the big 10 is bigger than any single team in a conference. Fields fifth string WR would be BYU most talented, so using the “level of competition” argument  hold no weight. Wilson is playing in a even playing field in the MWC.

 

Wilson had over 40 TD this season, the last time a BYU QB had over 40 TD in a season was 25 years ago. Meanwhile OSU just had a QB two years ago throw for 50 and a 10 year span they have had about 5 different QBs account for over 30 TD in a season.
