Jan. 2 - 4 College Football Bowl Games Discussion

[SeldomSeen]

I still have serious doubts that FSU can sustain a drive.

 

Now is a good time considering they have a huge momentum swing on their side. I'd say they at least tie the game here.

Betcha 5 make believe, internet dollars they don't.

Drew Weatherford does not look good in there, despite that sorta nice long pass. Lucked into that as a result of a breakdown in coverage.

Agreed.

 

They don't need to sustain a drive, PSU isn't stopping any longer plays.

[Mark_R]

How long til the "FSU IS SO DIRTY" posts.

 

I feel bad for Poz, though.

I'd venture to say that ND's defense will be better next season. Their worst defensive player (Mike Richardson) is graduating. Zibby, Ndukwe, and Wooden (who is better than he played in the Fiesta Bowl) will be back. So will most of the front seven, excepting Hoyte and Mays, who will be missed. This year's Irish D was an improvement on 2004's and I would think that next year's defense will continue that improvement. With everyone except Stovall and a few offensive linemen back for the offense, I'm optimistic about the 06 Irish...although the schedule could be substantially more difficult (road games at GT and USC and at home against Penn State, Michigan and UCLA).

If Minter will still be there, the D will still struggle. I was never very impressed with him under Holtz, and still am not. He is not the only problem with the D, but he does not help things. They secondary was terrible this year. All OSU did was make deep passes, that no other team could seem to do this year (overthrows, wrong routes, underthrows, etc...), and use their speed to completely expose the ineptness of the D.

That was a clean block on Posluszny, but that really sucks for him.

Still wouldn't

[Ding Dong Johnson]

These penalties are really getting old.

[SeldomSeen]

Penn State's passing game looks like a high school's. If FSU would stop committing penalties, they might be up 19-7.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Oh wow....

 

This is exciting

[Transmogrified Tiger]

What the.....

[Chris]

Content with a FG?

[SeldomSeen]

My observations in this thread are golden (0 for 2). Maybe I should be an analyst or something.

 

Ummm, this Penn State offense is dynamic!

[stitchface]

this is a great game. robinson is going to collapse at the end of this. hopefully jopa goes for the end zone instead of settling for a FG here.

[Chris]

:-k

[stitchface]

I take it back. run it up the middle and let the clock run. war of attrition. this was one of the most physical games I have ever seen.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It would be hilarious if they miss the field goal.

[Chris]

It would be hilarious if they miss the field goal.

 

I would laugh

[XZero771679666304]

It would be hilarious if they miss the field goal.

 

Yeah.

 

FSU returning the kickoff for a TD would be a real kicker, too.

[jaydee]

feel bad for paul p on psu....hopefully nothing that will effect his ability to play longterm
