This is awesome

was awful. Three and out for his replacement.

But Kelly’s gameplan sucks. Consistently running plays to the weakest side of your line. Consistently letting Miami DL to make plays from the back side without making adjustments.

Ride your horses who got you here. Run behind the left side. Take advantage of the DL aggressiveness and run some screens.

I'm actually surprised he's riding Adams so much. He's too slow for this Miami def. They need to mix it up and run 34 a bit more. He seems quicker than Adams.

No way!

is the third string QB?

Wow.

Wow. This is one sided af

was no chance of completing that pass. He telegraphed it from the snap. Ridiculous.

What a joke.

At 8-1 on the road


This is what the idiot gets. What a waste of a season

Should be fun.

9:49 left in regulation in Starkville, MS

slow. The line can't handle Miami's speed. All I have heard is about that line. They ain't looking good.

Mississippi State has about 2 minutes left in regulation to win it. Still tied at 24

2 min left

What you heard is legitimate. They have rolled through the sport all year at will until now. It's shocking.

And 71% of the money were on ND -3.5 and the line NEVER shifted.

Similar situation with Miss St (78% of slips & 82% of money) and the line sat at 14 or 14.5.

Vegas felt really good about Miami and Miss St coming to play today.

they are an automatic bet

They score a TD with 25 seconds left

They didn't cover tonight, but you either play them or you don't. You can't bet against them.

Mississippi State gets one more shot

throws the second hail mary out of the end zone. Alabama gets a big scare but wins

That's a humiliation.

Alabama. Great final touchdown drive. 'Bama is beatable, but they find a way. Auburn game is going to be a war.

with 12 seconds to go in the 3rd quarter

Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Miami...with Wisconsin and Georgia at 5 and 6.

They found something on offense late in the 1st half last week against Virginia Tech and their confidence has just snowballed. They deserve to be ranked #2 behind Alabama because the wins over VT and ND validate the undefeated record

Those would be my 4 but in a different order

1. Alabama
2. Miami
3. Clemson
4. Oklahoma

ND ever ranked 3rd?

Miami will be in the top 4. Clemson game will be huge.

Miami should go all the way up to #2. Their defense is savage like the U of old

The U is back!!!!!!!!!

under the spotlight. Oh well, some things never change.

Teams are starting to drop off. Bama is a machine. Even if they lose at Clemson they just reload every year. What Saban has built after really shitting the bed in Miami puts him up with the best ever. They better pray Saban doesn't want to prove he can do it in the NFL.

Also there still some whining at times about the play off system. Pretty much it work.

Surprised ND got rolled that bad but Richt might be the best coach Miami has had since JJ. Recruiting has never been the issue.

Yeah, once the high schools in South Florida that are the best in the country at prep football see Richt as their #1 guy, the Hurricanes will start to build that wall around South Florida the way they used to back in the 80s

Reason always get Auburn and Clemson mixed up.

Miami has always been able to recruit of its past. They don't have the best facilities or their own stadium, but their reputation still lingers. They just needed a x and o coach. Kids from NJ also seem to love the U. I expect
Them to still get most of their kids from S Florida but w
This quick success under a very respected coach they will be a force again. Didn't take long at all

Their defense is SO fast, arguably even faster than Alabama's right now. I'd take a couple of their linebackers on the Giants right now (think of Armstead and Barrow)

Just finished watching the ND/U game.

The Irish got their shit pushed in. Wow.

Everyone was talking about the Canes being overrated.

Uhhh. What?

What a complete dominating beat down. That was ridiculous.

Get your fuckin shinebox.

Yeah, totally.

Are you ever right? About anything?

I was nervous for probably the first time since the opener against FSU. Miss St. played a hell of a game.

Jalen came through at the end, though. I love Calvin Ridley. He's going to be a good pro.

I don't really understand why Saban (well, Daboll really) doesn't utilize Scarbrough more. Even Dame Harris doesn't get enough touches. I feel like Bama has the horses to just wear teams out on the ground, but Hurts is the one running the ball more than any of the backs.

Granted, he's got good wheels for a QB and he can make plays - but he averaged like 2 ypc tonight while Harris only needed 8 totes to get near 100 yards. Theres another Harris kid who didn't even get a carry and there's Josh Jacobs too.

Defenses can't stop these RB's. There shouldn't be games like this where none of them even hit double digit carries.

End of the day, though - Hurts got his WR's the ball at the end of the game to get in there and win it.

I do feel like this team is beatable. A team like Auburn would be a tough matchup. Bama has lost a bunch of defensive players to injury and can be scored on. I suppose we'll see.

I wasn't that surprised by Auburn taking it to Georgia - but I didn't think the U would wipe the floor with the Irish like they did. Oof. A lot is still up in the air. Fun season so far.

Auburn 6th.

Looks like there will be a pre-playoff playoff in Miami-Clemson ACC championship game, possisbly a Ohio,State-Wisconsin championship game and a,possible OK-OK State championship game. SEC could complicate things with 2 teams should Alabama lose to either Auburn or Georgia.

I am...about you being an asshole haha

We almost had a situation where half the top 10 were losers, this late in the season....not to mention the top 3.....but somehow, you just knew 'Bama would come back.....

weekend worked out as well as it could have for Wisconsin. Should jump up to 5 or so, and Miami and Clemson still have to play each other.

Win and in, all you can ask for.

arc, good point here and it's something that's frustrated me with Urban Meyer and Ohio State lately. Pattern with every time we lose is we forget about the RBs and just run JT constantly. Each loss since 2015 JT has had more carries than the main RB, either Zeke, Weber, or JK this season. Three really good RBs. I don't understand it really, seems like even Bama has been guilty of it but it hasn't cost you yet. It's cost us

Seemed like we finally figured that out this week and both Weber and JK had big days and the Buckeyes wiped the floor with a pretty good Michigan State team team. And while I'm happy with the performance, I can't help but be frustrated with it taking two losses and their playoff hopes likely gone to finally realize the mistake

Fun day of games though overall. It really has been a great season in general

but I was wrong. What that front 7 did to the ND oline was impressive. Miami's D has lived in the backfield and beat up QB's all year, but they turned it up against that OL. The offense can be inconsistent but if Rosier continues to play well they have the talent to beat anyone. Amazing that they've dominated these last 2 games with their best offensive players injured or doing very little.

in that order, when the new rankings come out. in the end, Wisconsin may play their way into the playoffs. Very much up for grabs.

Wisconsin will get in as an undefeated B1G champion because either Miami or Clemson knock each other out

Brady Hoke!!! the interim coach for the rest of the season at UT. The writing was on the wall when Georgia embarrassed them at Neyland Stadium 41-0
