Your pictures are all after he got turned by the defense. The nose of the ball hit the yellow before he got hit.
I couldn't believe the spot at the time, but they had the replay on the big screen at the stadium. The ball gets just to the yard line, then he gets hit and then twisted back. It was a great effort by the defense, but just a fraction of a second too late.
The spot was good.

This might drive the gomers a little crazy
He was probably just making a joke about us booing him. When he got announced for the Peach Bowl HOF, he got a lot of boos. And he was laughing the whole time.

I know your avatar is a troll face, and so assume this is you being one, but just for any true idiots out there:
1. It's a judgment call.
2. Your judgment of this sucks.
3. Here's the actual rule, proving #2 above.
Taaffe didn't do any of the 4.

Seemed short to me (his elbow maybe got but probably hard to overturn. The more interesting issue to me is the umpire had the best visual while the sideline judge was completely blocked from the seeing the ball. As the umpire goes to mark the ball short, the sideline judge is definitely calling the chains to move as if it is a clear first down. Not even worth a measurement apparently. You can see he is marking the spot with his left foot and the ball was nowhere near that spot, 100%.

What was the deal with the play where they gave Skatebro an extra half yard or so so that he'd get the first down, reviewed it, and upheld the shitty call. Was that an optical illusion or something? Because he clearly did not get the ball to the marker.
If its the one you are talking about, he did get the ball to the line before he got hit and twisted around. He ended up a half yard short, but it was a good spot.

You are consistent. When you are wrong, you continue to insist you are right, no matter how stupid your take.

Hills and Phillips said he had 5 yards of separation from the corner and it should have been a throw on a rope for an easy completion. Said he has to stop floating deep.
He cannot hit long throws. He's great at short and intermediate. We could beat their DBs every time. Arch would have had 4-5 TD passes at least.
But then Sark let Quinn do his stuff the last two minutes and OT and he got 2 FG attempts and 2 TDs and a 2 point conversion, despite 4 false starts.

Yormark is still a little bitch:
Reads bulletin boards instead of rule books. It was a classic perfect face to face form tackle, the way you are supposed to do it.
Although I don't think anybody really knows what targeting is. Losing team always whines about imaginary targeting calls.

He's an ass to his teammates during games, I don't see that as a good sign. Without Skattebo I think he be just end up a decent, slightly above average QB.
Yeah. I couldn't believe on the first drive he was calling out his receiver from across the field.

I have heard mention of the ASU defense giving "disconcerting signals."
Did this actually happen? It was weird that we got called for as many false starts as we did, but we are often sloppy.
We had 4 false starts in the last two minutes and OT-by 4 different players. They also had one in that same time frame. It was bizarre. It wasn't that loud in there. Couldn't have been more than 45-50 in the stadium.

This is why I don't read the game threads while the game is in progress. Such aggy level stupid takes.

asu humbled a top 5 defense that second half. hopefully it was a good wake up call before the tOSU game for them
What game were you watching? They absolutely could not score without fake punts, halfback passes or stupid penalties by us.
Our defense was on the field most of the game and kept shutting them down. One of the best RBs in the country and they got stuffed on 4th and shorts.

He wasn't lost on that play. He had good coverage. The throw was bad and the receiver had to both slowdown and run back towards the middle of the field. Because he was in front of the receiver, he couldn't get back to the ball without running in to him. Skattebo just chunked that shit as far as he could and it happened to be off enough that it caused a covered receiver to become open. It was blind ass luck.
And then he lost his balance. It was good coverage.

This. All of this. Fuck them and their douchebag coach and RB. All their dorky fans throwing up that 3 finger sign I had to see all day in crowd shots. Winning was fun but seeing it ripped from their hearts after their miraculous comeback and one 4th and 13 from going to the semis. 3 plays later, they are now down 8. Then throw a pick and lose. Their RB crying at the end. Later bitch. The better team won.
Well they would do their own symbol which is a Hook'em but with a middle finger and then they would do a Horns down. This is someone we almost never have played and have never been in the same conference with.
I will give them this. We outnumbered them from 60/40, but the ones there were loud.

Ohio State fans online stated their opponents had 0 holding calls all year against them prior to last night. So it seems like this is a systemic b10 issue.
Others said they had 1.
I think it was our SEC CCG crew calling the Oregon Ohio St. game. Oregon linemen were flagrantly holding 2 or 3 Ohio St. players every down. Of course it was 34-0 by that point, so maybe they just didn't want to slow the game down with penalties.

Seeing all the Big 12 shitheels whining on Twitter about a non-call for targeting is delicious. They've put all their hopes on Arizona State to pull the upset since they themselves couldn't last year. Keep waiting, dickweeds.
People all over. it was a perfect face to face form tackle. None of them talk about the ASU defender deliberately elbowing our receiver in the helmet on the interception.

In all fairness, our TOP in the beginning was fucked due to a very quick offensive score followed by a punt return for 6.
We only had 5 plays in the 1st quarter and I think only 4 in the first 10 minutes of the 3rd.

They whipped our ass in all facets except the scoreboard.
What a stupid Surly take.
We were in control. They couldn't score except on trick plays or when we did stupid penalties.
When Sark finally called plays Ewers could make, we scored. If Ewers could hit the long pass instead of repeatedly underthrowing, we would have scored 50 in regulation. But he couldn't, so we had a lot of 3 and outs.
Defense was awesome except for the stupid PIs
Scaterboo is the real deal, but we held him in check. And yes, we stopped him frequently on 3rd and 4th down.

Honorable mention... Oct. 8, 1977 Red River Rivalry.
Unlikely Hero: Randy McEachern
He was an unlikely hero for the University of Texas and it all began Oct. 8, 1977 in the Red River Rivalry.
———
When Texas backup quarterback John Aune tore ligaments in his knee on UT’s fourth series of the Red River Shootout, as it was called at the time, the TV announcers scrambled to figure out who would be next to lead the Longhorns.
Starter Mark McBath broke his ankle on the third series and Aune lasted just nine plays before he went down. The trio in the booth had no quarterbacks left on their rosters.
The play-by-play man quickly threw the question to sports director Steve Ross of KVUE, channel 24 in Austin. “Steve, who would that bring in? We don’t even have him on the depth chart.”
Ross speculated about a pair of freshmen, but he really had no idea. Everyone was surprised when No. 6 trotted onto the field.
Redshirt junior Randy McEachern entered the game in a situation that was becoming more desperate by the minute, and it was still only the first quarter. He had been an afterthought for two seasons and had only handed the ball off during mop-up time of three games in 1977.
The announcers knew so little about him that Ross actually called him a freshman on the broadcast before finding the correct information.
The story goes that it was Earl Campbell who broke away from the huddle to give McEachern a vote of confidence as he ran onto the field in Dallas. Campbell did take a step or two away from the team and clapped twice, but it was offensive lineman George James who jogged out to meet McEachern.
Campbell did give the wide-eyed quarterback a pep talk when he reached the huddle, in his own way.
“He said, ‘Let’s go, little man,” McEachern recalled for Texassports.com in 2007.
Though they stood the same height, 5-foot-11, Campbell outweighed McEatchern by 60 pounds. But size didn’t matter. They would become a good pair.
Both teams were unbeaten that year and riding high coming into the showdown. No. 2 Oklahoma had survived a massive game in Columbus two weeks earlier when Barry Switzer’s Sooners upset Woody Hayes’ Buckeyes 29-28 on a last-second field goal.
OU had been No. 5 at the time and OSU had been No. 4. The Sooners moved up to No. 3 after the win and then took over No. 1 after beating Kansas the next week.
Texas had crushed Boston College, Virginia and Rice to open the season and had climbed steadily in the ranks until it reached No. 5 at the time of the rivalry matchup.
Darrell Royal was not at the helm of the Longhorns for the first time in 20 years. He retired as the coach and became the full-time athletic director after the 1976 season.
Royal’s offensive coordinator Fred Akers ascended to head coach and was about to get his first real test as chief decision maker.
Texas won 13-6, and solidified Earl Campbell as the front runner for the Heisman Trophy.
And thus began the spontaneous parades on the Drag! Until the spoilsports on city council stopped them.

Bringing Mack back into the program only seems like a good idea to me IF he becomes a money man. He's already made it clear that he doesn't like the players getting paid situation and why he wanted to get out of coaching. What is the benefit to the program if he's not going to help tackle the biggest issue facing the sport? I don't see it.
He's the type of coach the G5 schools need. Someone who can shake hands, raise money and delegate to coordinators for most of the day to day.

16 teams is too goddamn many, what you're proposing is having 2 teams guaranteed playing an extra half a seasons worth of games. There aren't 16 good teams a year. Fucking 12 is too many did anyone really need to see SMU Indiana Tennessee and Clemson get trounced? 8 teams no byes neutral sites thats it.
12 is fine. But if you go to 14 or 16 you will get lots more 3 loss and occasionally a 4 loss team.

I think a bye is a good reward for conference champs and would be fine with reseeding them after the first round, which should be more accurately called the play-in round.
You don't even need to re-seed.
1. Oregon plays 12. Arizona St.
2. Georgia plays 9. Boise St.
3. Texas/Clemson plays 6. Ohio St./Tennessee
4. Penn St./SMU plays 5. ND/Indiana

2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
in Football

Plenty of other legitimate stuff to complain about-targeting (or whatever penalty that elbow to the head on the INT was), roughing the passer at least a couple of times, ineligible men downfield, holding, missed pass interference.
