Rose Bowl and Afternoon Games Thread
Some nice games this afternoon.
Iowa beats Miss State.
Right now James Franklin is busy screwing up a huge comeback for Penn State against Kentucky:
down 6 points on the Kentucky 15, Franklin elects to kick a field goal to make it 24-27 with 4 minutes left. Looks like Kentucky is about to pull out the win.
OSU vs Washington at 5:00 EST
Texas vs Georgia at 9:00 EST

Careful though. I've seen Ubz punch the air like a tough guy.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
I loathe the fact that OSU gets to end this bullshit season at Pasadena. Should of had a 1 year bowl ban. I wouldn’t mind seeing Meyer get his ass run over on the sideline.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
You're welcome, Washington.
For us showing you how NOT to play Ohio State on defense.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
Any game where they show the coin toss can't be a meaningless game.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:13 PM ^
Hopefully that 1st play false start is an omen of things to come for OSU.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
Good start by Washington D. Hope Don Brown is watching. The Herbstreit trolling of M starts already ha.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:22 PM ^
Well.........
January 1st, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
Don Fucking Brown gave UW a roadmap how to defend Ohio state.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Yeah, it was, don’t do this…
January 1st, 2019 at 5:27 PM ^
Never mind doesn’t matter
January 1st, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
What could’ve been if Don Brown knew that there was something aside from blitzing and just playing press coverage all the time…
January 1st, 2019 at 5:19 PM ^
Maybe it’s because I quit chewing, but watching this rose bowl game is pissing me off on how the season ending...
January 1st, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
Same. I’m doing dry January and already it’s not helping…
January 1st, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
"This isn't Michigan. They're not going to play Man."
OSU goes 3 and out, punts.
You watching Don Brown?.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
“this isn’t Michigan”. They had play zone. Ouch
January 1st, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
wow look what happens when you don’t always play man to man. Good thing our trash ass DBs kept up with OSU.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Our trash ass DBs? Go fuck yourself, bitch.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Washington. Zone. Haskins holds. Sack. That is all.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:39 PM ^
I can’t for the life of me undestand why Brown didn’t mix more zone in earlier in the game. Just baffling the lack of adjustments our highest paid staff failed to make.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Chris Petersen is a top 5-10 coach. I fully expect Washington to come out swinging against OSU.
They probaby will actually utilize their playmakers to expose OSU.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
If you haven't been to a Rose Bowl you haven't experienced college football.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:23 PM ^
Yeah, like you would know.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Haskins missed a guy wide open on that third down. I mean wide open.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
Washington seems to have an idea how to defend OSU on offense early. hire that guy?
January 1st, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
After we hire a real OC.
One thing at a time.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
The thing is, Haskins missed a WIIIIIIDE open guy for 30+ on third down.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
Where the hell is Washington's fullback?
January 1st, 2019 at 5:21 PM ^
OSU played their Super Bowl against us, we’ll probably see Maryland or Purdue OSU today.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
Ah, no.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:23 PM ^
Rose Bowl is 20x better than the Peach.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:34 PM ^
Well of course you would say that
January 1st, 2019 at 5:23 PM ^
Hah. Another bad play by Haskins, underthrowing his TE.
Edit: followed by another bad pass in the flat. He is off today.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:23 PM ^
OSU is running the ball with tempo and by spreading the field.
They are not mutually exclusive.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:24 PM ^
OSU TE doing his Gentry impersonation
January 1st, 2019 at 5:25 PM ^
OSU offense = fun and dynamic
M offense = painful and laboring and frankly boring
January 1st, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Watching ESPN Skycam view, pretty cool not having to listen to annoying announcers!
January 1st, 2019 at 5:32 PM ^
Yeah, I watched the ESPN Coaches Film Room feed for the CFP games. No announcers and actually somewhat educational.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Michigan would put it in Ben Mason and he would lose a yard on that play.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
Gonna be the Mike Weber show.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:30 PM ^
What an enigma… A player who announces they’re entering the draft and yet still plays in the bowl game.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
What is this nonsense? Offenses aren't supposed to be fun to watch
January 1st, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
Their offense is just so much better than ours.
I hope those fuckers win by 100 and send the clear unmitigated message to our own coaches that to beat Ohio State, you're going to have to score points.
Forget about the body blows. It doesn't work.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:41 PM ^
Their offense is Jennifer Lawrence, ours is Rosie O’Donnel.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:44 PM ^
Maybe beating Ohio state is not the goal for the coaching staff. MTSU and army first. One game at a time.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:28 PM ^
Wish there was a mute on mgoblog for the noobs with their endless hot takes...
January 1st, 2019 at 5:30 PM ^
OSU is loaded with talent. Their athletes and depth are vastly different than the rest of the B1G - Meter’s recruiting over the last 5 years built an impressive roster.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:33 PM ^
Yeah. It’s been hard watching them recruit. They have the 12th ranked class with only 16 commits, they are the favorite to land a few more top 100 players which could put them in the top 5 again. I see we are 8th right now with 27 commits.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:35 PM ^
Wasn’t 2/3rds of their class last year rated higher than our best recruit?
I think the way OSU finished the season would have been a lot less surprising had their players played up to their potential all season long.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:32 PM ^
Wow is Peterson skinny.
January 1st, 2019 at 5:32 PM ^
Just turned on the Rose Bowl and saw O State up early. Isn't Browning going to be attacking that suspect secondary?
