Penn St seemed like a poorly coached team that luckily just had more talent overall to get past them.   I don’t watch a lot of Penn St football so maybe that was just a bad day….but their coaching nor QB impressed.  

Think Boise St had the better coaching and QB play.  

just too much of a talent disparity overall on the rosters  

Like I said, didn't watch much of it.

But the part I did watch, Boise State drove the ball down the field, got an apparent td that was called back due to a hands to the face penalty.  Then the BSU qb threw a wounded duck pass that the safety caught looking like a baseball center fielder.  A TD there cuts it to a 3 point lead.  Then Penn State goes 3 and out, and BSU drives it 55 yards for a missed 38 yard fg attempt.  After that, I changed the channel. 

Admittedly, its a small sample size, but it appeared to me that Boise State had a case of nerves playing on a national stage.

I felt the BSU QB played really well until that pick.  Think the load on his shoulders was just too much over time.    Kicking game (couple ones) nor Jeanty was there to aid him like would be needed in that type game.

I also bashed the Illinois HC yesterday for what I believed at the time was a scumbag move.   I retract that upon further review info.  He was calling SC out for what he viewed as a player safety issue on a prior play while his guy was hurt ….and Beamer’s meltdown was a hit dog hollering.

Hot take.  Boise State/Penn State and Clemson/ Texas were more entertaining games than probably 40% of the games ever played in the CFP.   Some revisionist history has been done about how good playoff games have been because people were buthurt they didn’t get the teams they wanted in

I thought all of the games were good yesterday.

Jeanty is supposed to be the best RB of the class and Skattebo is supposed to be a guy who isn't going to translate well to the NFL but on the first snap of the game Skattebo does what Jeanty failed to do all game last night and beat a top tier P4 defense around the edge.

I mean, he did put 200 up on the #1 team in the nation from that same conference. 

But hard to disagree he looked pretty ordinary last night.  Just like a average power 5 starting RB

How in the HELL did he get that punt off???

Dude could've probably straight up tackled the punter and instead completely whiffs so it's a penalty for running into the punter. LOLOLOL

That Texas coach screaming at the player is ridiculous.  He was right there to block that and somehow he didn’t.

This one is David vs Goliath.  Texas blowout incoming

    • agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it. 
    • I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.
    • I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
