Officially Official National Championship ND v. OSU Game Thread

[savvyandsassier]

I was thinking that Jeter, who was so bad during the regular season and so great during the playoffs, was due to miss an easy one.

What are we doing kicking a FG?

 

[Get Nasty]

field goal turns it into 2 possession game without needing the 2 pt conversions and winning game by 1 point instead of tieing game

If your kicking it then you must throw to end zone on third

Osu board called freeman on that drive and reminded him who he is

 

[theskibro]

****
Can't come away empty handed. Still we're showing fight.Pin them down.

Why kick? Total lose mentality

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Greathouse becoming a weapon. Hopefully he continues this into next season.

Imagine if he had a real QB who could spin the rock.

 

[Get Nasty]

Bowen losing gap… again… but he’s still in

 

[NDinNJ]

OSU milking the clock now.

 

[futuredomer]

Still no punts

Didn't he cause the turnover

Not at all. The correct play. I said it before he kicked it.

 

[Patrish]

I think that last series was doomed by going to the QB run on first down. It was pretty obviously coming.

I agree 100 %, I thought that was a bad play call and doomed the drive

 

[NDinNJ]

Get Nasty is a moron but he's still in this forum.

 

[sjb75]

That was a bad decision to kick even though it would have been a tough convert

I don't agree with that

It was the 9 yard line, not the 2or 3 yard line.

 

[christophero]

Need a damn stop.

 

[Golson5]

It was the 9 yard line, not the 2or 3 yard line.

Yeah I'm aware. Bad decision to me

 

[NDinNJ]

They got the stop!

 

[futuredomer]

Finally, might be too late

 

[BGI User 1596]

Wake up the punter

 

[christophero]

Not at all. The correct play. I said it before he kicked it.

Agreed. It's not Madden at the 9 you take the points. Of course usually the kicker makes that.

 

[NDinNJ]

They need a quick score here

 

[savvyandsassier]

Not at all. The correct play. I said it before he kicked it.

Well the football gods didn't think so. They wanted us to go for it. And then go for two.

 

[christophero]

Comon we can still make it a game!

 

[banmate6]

Yeah I'm aware. Bad decision to me

Take the 3. Build a little and rely on some hope...because being too bold just hasn't worked.

ND got the stop. Let's hope they get a TD and make a run for it. Might as well try.

 

[NDinNJ]

Quick score, onside kick.

 

[Patrish]

Is love injured ?

He hasn’t been a factor so far

 

[NDinNJ]

No

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

We can still win! Gotta believe!

 

[savvyandsassier]

We should have gone for it.

 

[christophero]

If we can score before 5:00 we can kick off to them.
Thank you team for not rolling over. This is fun.

 

[FightingIrish44]

We should have gone for it.

Not from the 9. That’s a gimme field goal. You’re unlikely to get both two point conversions anyway.

 

[christophero]

As much as I love RL, him on 4th and 9 is dicey.

 

[Patrish]

We should have gone for it.

The first down play doomed the series

 

[BGI User 1596]

As much as I love RL, him on 4th and 9 is dicey.

Him on any throw is dicey!

 

[savvyandsassier]

Not from the 9. That’s a gimme field goal. You’re unlikely to get both two point conversions anyway.

We should have definitely gone for it. We're down 16 with nine minutes. We don't need three points. But maybe we score here.

 

[Golson5]

He's throwing well again. Dumb stuff

 

[chaseball]

if ND scores here we're all going to wish we had those 3 points

those 3 points negate the need for 2 pt conversion and instead of tieing game in 2 possessions you win game in 2 possessions.

 

[Golson5]

RL came to play. Just needed a few more with him

 

[christophero]

Gotta get 8 here.

 

[FightingIrish44]

We should have definitely gone for it. We're down 16 with nine minutes. We don't need three points. But maybe we score here.

And now it would be a six point game. I said the same thing in the Miami/GT thread. The FG was the correct call.
