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

Watch the other feeds without announcers ! So much of a better experience!
January 1st, 2019 at 6:21 PM ^
His homer knob slobbing is annoying should be a conflict of interests for him to cc an osu game
January 1st, 2019 at 6:19 PM ^
If it were not for a handful of false starts called, this would be all O State. God damn it.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:19 PM ^
The Ohio State-Purdue game makes less sense to me as time goes by. Purdue buried tOSU, and then urinated on the grave, and Purdue just isn't much of a team.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:22 PM ^
How about Maryland taking OSU to OT? Maryland actually should have won that game if their QB could make an EASY wide open 5 yard pass.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:22 PM ^
Urban Meyer's teams have inexplicable meltdowns once in awhile. That's basically the only chink in his armor.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:30 PM ^
They are like Michigan basketball playing Binghamton. They know they are much better and their heads are not in the game.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:32 PM ^
Well, if we went on to lose to Binghamton by 30.
You have to destroy them to beat them though. Meyer almost never loses a close game.
January 1st, 2019 at 7:17 PM ^
Prime time playing for a cancer-stricken kid who made it to the field when he shouldn’t have.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:26 PM ^
You’ve got to make that catch.
Best play by Browning so far today has been a punt..
January 1st, 2019 at 6:31 PM ^
Watch OSU carefully. Even though they can run at will up the middle, they still mix in the pass. LIBERALLY!
January 1st, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
And you can mix in tempo when not down by 30 points or in the last minute of the game.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:31 PM ^
Haskins becomes such a poor qb when pressured...
January 1st, 2019 at 7:19 PM ^
The value of a good OL ... he's not getting much pressure.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:32 PM ^
If this goes to 21-3 I think it’ll be game, and it’ll be the last I watch of it.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
In a way, it is impressive how quickly OSU snaps the ball and hands it off or snaps the ball, fakes the handoff and throws it.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:34 PM ^
Ugghh...would have been nice to have gone to the Rose Bowl to play this average Washington team! Probably would have had a nice win to end the season!
January 1st, 2019 at 7:14 PM ^
Yea right. We would have lost to whoever we played.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:34 PM ^
Anyone who thinks Ryan Day will struggle against Michigan’s current defensive scheme is smoking crack.
Day will destroy Michigan. This OSU offense is unstoppable. The only reason OSU is punting ever is cuz of Haskins missing throws
January 1st, 2019 at 6:36 PM ^
I must be blind but I see Meyer on the sidelines as HC... No doubt Day will be a good coach, but we will see.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:37 PM ^
The Noob, I mean The Cube has been hot take king today, let him get it all out of his system!
January 1st, 2019 at 6:42 PM ^
Ryan Day calls the plays. Have you been listening to Herbstreit at all?
January 1st, 2019 at 6:34 PM ^
that osu punter is just ridiculous... wtf.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:39 PM ^
He single handedly beat Sparty this year!
January 1st, 2019 at 6:37 PM ^
Browning is vastly underperforming today.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:38 PM ^
If only Browning was good. Washington would be very fun to watch and a true top ten team. They’ve had some looks today
January 1st, 2019 at 6:40 PM ^
They remind me of Michigan in a way: trying to be efficient but far from explosive.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
Next year. Washington got Jacob Eason from Georgia. He’s an instant upgrade from Browning
January 1st, 2019 at 6:40 PM ^
Jacob Eason will make Washington so much better. Jake Browning sucks.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
Listening to Kirk is so damn nauseating... He eats sleeps and shits OSU.
January 1st, 2019 at 7:17 PM ^
Quite the opposite. He goes out of his way to not compliment tOSU so he can appear objective. He's an SEC fanboy
January 1st, 2019 at 6:41 PM ^
Amazing watching a two-minute drill where the offense doesn’t swallow their tongue during it. No run up the middle and waiting 20 seconds to call a timeout?
January 1st, 2019 at 6:43 PM ^
A true 2-minute drill with great clock management that ended in a touchdown on a creative play call.
Sigh.
Thats all, folks.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:55 PM ^
not sure why they were raving about the play call. Right before it I said, you throw this ball 100% of the time. A run there would have been Franklin-esque, unless they ran it without calling that TO.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:43 PM ^
Yeah, we're going to keep up with Ohio State's offense with Manball drives that come up empty.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
Ugghhh....anything else on worth watching tonight??
January 1st, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
It's a good thing I haven't watched a second of this game.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:47 PM ^
Yeah don’t bother turning it on, Washington is at about Nebraska level right now before Scott Frost started figuring some things out...,
January 1st, 2019 at 6:46 PM ^
I hope all the people who screamed about Don Brown not running enough zone against OSU are watching Washington’s zone get wrecked. It’s not that simple.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:50 PM ^
Washington is losing this game on offense.
Their defense got three stops against Ohio State in the first half. That's all you can reasonably expect against them.
The Washington offense is not taking advantage of those stops. You are not going to get chance after chance against them.
Your offense has to keep pace.
This is a lesson we still have not learned.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:53 PM ^
Chris Peterson will adjust his defense...I turned the osu game off at the half but pretty sure it was mostly the same shit in 2nd half
January 1st, 2019 at 11:26 PM ^
If you read the double B diary on it, Michigan did change up their defense with more zone but played it terribly. That’s still on Brown, but my point is it’s not as easy as people make it seem yelling, “play zone!”
January 1st, 2019 at 7:08 PM ^
Haskins is going to pick any back 7. Kid goes through progressions like a pro.
Can get the ball out quick to kill loose coverage, give him 3 seconds and he's lethal.
Shea is decent, but Haskins beats the defense. Can't remember last UM qb that made opponents look foolish.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:47 PM ^
Ohio State on track for 40+ points. That's who they are now.
You're not going to win games against them 17-10 Bo and Woody style.
Possessions without points = death.
January 1st, 2019 at 7:11 PM ^
Hopefully Kevin Wilson, the coach that made them that 40+ team, will be at Michigan next year.
January 1st, 2019 at 7:18 PM ^
Lol.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:47 PM ^
Take a good look Wolverine fans.
That's how you win championships.
January 1st, 2019 at 6:50 PM ^
You're preaching to the choir...tell the guys who let their team come out of the tunnel like they're taking a chemistry final during a bowl game
January 1st, 2019 at 6:47 PM ^
One silver lining from this game is another team gets embarrased...at least our shame will be buried with the goose eggs of a handful of other teams. Misery loves company!
January 1st, 2019 at 6:59 PM ^
Is it their unis or is that W marching band a bit chubby?
