College Football Playoff

Wow, this idiot dropping the ball at the line. Confirmed but close.

That had to be a mercy ruling, right? It really looked like he was still touching the ball when crossing but didn't have control. Put it another way, I think if someone had hit him they would have called a fumble.

He still had three fingers on it. You only need two to clinch it in your fingers.

I really dislike watching college running backs. Like, yeah, you're dominant, but go pro and see just how many linebackers you can run over. Unless you're Bo Jackson, you aren't trucking anyone next year.

seriously, if they want to put a stop to this nonsense that would have been ruled a fumble because he's clearly giving up possession of the ball before it crosses the plane although its still in his hand

at the end of the day it should have been a TD and it was rules as such but still, the showboating needs to stop

Showboating? Really? Dropping the ball like that is the complete opposite.

 

[smackababy]

Did someone just pull a Winston? I think so!

 

[zerocool84]

WOW, Oregon recovers another fumble.

 

[bbhaag]

good lord....

 

[TurtleCrusher]

WOW, Oregon recovers another fumble.

ESPN.com feed is 20 seconds late at least. I saw this before the ball was even snapped.

 

[jingramm]

Wow, Jameis Winston type play again in Oregon's favor

4 turnovers for OSU... as I said, Oregon is getting a lot of luck tonight

 

[KentState]

Four sloppy turnovers. I don't mind big hits or interceptions by cutting a route, but not this crap.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

C'mon Ducks!

During the sugar bowl I was literally 5 minutes behind on my Comcast feed. Had to go radio silent.

I'm on Comcast as well. It was crazy that game.

 

[zerocool84]

Yet again Oregon can't get a touchdown.

 

[smackababy]

Yet again Oregon can't get a touchdown.

OSU's redzone defense is really holding up well. This is turning out to be a much better game than I expected.

 

[cronos]

+4 turnover margin and still trailing by 1. That's pretty amazing.

 

[Train]

4 giveaways and still up by 1.

Not bad. Buckey offense needs to play half as good as the defense to win this.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

Showboating? Really? Dropping the ball like that is the complete opposite.

if you can't drop the ball until you're in the endzone you're either a massive idiot or you're purposefully trying to cut as close as possible which is showboating

sorry for giving the massive idiot the benefit of doubt

 

[Fingolfin269]

What's the new prop bet in Vegas? "How will OSU fumble on this drive?"

 

[Train]

Ya I don't think that qualifies as showboating in anybody's book.

 

[postmortemIA]

not surprised by turnovers, kids aren't pros, and stakes are very high.
If anything, it is more entertaining this way

 

[smackababy]

Or, perhaps, he believed he had already crossed the plain and simply dropped the ball?

 

[EvilYoda]

Ducks can score from half a field away but can't find the end zone from within the 20...tight game, the rest of the 3rd and 4th should be good.

 

[weirdichi]

Gawd Elliot is running all over the Ducks.
