NIU has the #1 team in the country on the ropes, a minute left at the fifty, half yard to go... And they punt?
September 19th, 2015 at 5:02 PM ^
Sports karma gods are gonna frown upon NIU. Giving them all the chances in the world... smh
September 19th, 2015 at 5:01 PM ^
Did anyone else catch that exchange between OSU announcers about the flip-flops and socks?
September 19th, 2015 at 5:01 PM ^
September 19th, 2015 at 5:05 PM ^
Always true.
September 19th, 2015 at 6:09 PM ^
I thought that was hilarious.
Apparently I'm the only one.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:01 PM ^

The chances of not seeing a playoff team with one loss is extremely low.
And people saying MSU is better than OSU are way overreacting. That Oregon D gave up 28 again today.

Most coaches still haven't figured out the percentages, and it doesn't make sense. It's not about making the brave call vs the scared call. You're statistically more likely to end up better off by going for it in that situation. When you're aware of probabilities, the brave call is actually to kick it away because you're trusting the kick won't get blocked or the snap fumbled, the kick won't get returned for big yards, and the opposing offense won't get the field position back... and on top of all of that that you'll be able to win without whatever points you might have gotten by converting the 4th and short.
But coaches don't think about that stuff. They do things the way things have always been done.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:12 PM ^
Football coaches aren't the sharpest tools in the shed...
September 19th, 2015 at 5:09 PM ^
ND coughs it up on their own side of the field in the last minute of the half. Whoops.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:11 PM ^
If you don't think this is gonna get overturned in South Bend...
September 19th, 2015 at 5:12 PM ^
Wow, I was wrong. Neg away folks.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:12 PM ^
I'm thinking an upset by the Rebels is what we want to see.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:20 PM ^

Other than OSU, who had looked elite this year so far? Auburn is getting crushed, Alabama has no QB, MSU took advantage of an underwhelming Oregon team. I can honestly say I have no idea who the best team is yet. Even OSU didn't look great against VT until they caved in the QB's collarbone. Thoughts?

One and two loss teams will make the whole system look sloppy. Especially if there is an in-division tie, and the tiebreak winner loses the conference CG.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:23 PM ^
3 of the 4 had 1 loss last year. That wouldnot be a surprise. It would be expected. Baylor, TCU, Bama, and LSU all look quite good. Maybe USC or UCLA is for real.
OSU is still a very good team.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:20 PM ^
I'm not sure OSU has looked elite this year. We think they'll turn out that way based on past experience, and they probably will. But they've only looked elite for a few moments late vs VT and their second string QB, 4th Q vs a crap Hawaii team, and not at all today.
Alabama looks better than anyone I've seen so far, and even they have a glaring weak spot with their QB situation.
We picked a lousy year to not have a passing game. We are one good QB away from being able to beat almost anyone in spite of our own shortcomings. There aren't any perfect-looking teams out there this year, at least not yet.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:20 PM ^
OSU were playing at VT without a number of contributors. Granted, it would have been a different game if the QB stayed in but an impressive victory nonetheless.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:23 PM ^
September 19th, 2015 at 5:26 PM ^
September 19th, 2015 at 5:24 PM ^
our offense a "bo schembechler offense." don't think we're there yet, but i'll take a recap like that on national tv.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:15 PM ^
Did that Notre Dame player just tear his ACL celebrating?
September 19th, 2015 at 5:16 PM ^
Yep, he did.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:18 PM ^
September 19th, 2015 at 5:19 PM ^
Happens once in a while.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:17 PM ^
it sure looked like it. You could hear him moaning.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:15 PM ^
September 19th, 2015 at 5:15 PM ^
Thanks for the audio of the player clutching his probably torn knee screaming his freaking head off, NBC. THANKS.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:19 PM ^
Words cannot describe how much I hate NBC's coverage of ND football. These people are almost as amateur hour as the BTN.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:15 PM ^
Armstrong throws a pick at the one yard line. Miami going to the half up 20-3.
September 19th, 2015 at 5:16 PM ^
That poor ND DD just fucked his knee up celebrating. Ouch. The audio of him crying in pain was horrible
