They are trying to pull a fast one by scheduling the former Fighting Sioux of Grand Forks, ND

But i bet many would confuse them for NDSU, who i think would beat Corn West

I am pretty critical of Lanning but he was right for this one

IMHO, Arthur Smith is our weakest link.

Ffs. The O line and Special Teams are the weak links, and they have been ever since Ryan Day took over.

He NEVER signs enough OL. 2026 class: 5 OL (Great!) 2025 class: 3 OL, 2024 class: 4 OL, 2023 class: 4 OL, 2022 class: 4 OL. 2021 class: 3 OL. 2021 class: HOLY SHIT! HE SIGNED 6 OL.

The last time I checked, you need 5 OL on every single offensive snap.

Most likely

I asked ChatGPT.

● 2006: Northwestern lead Sparty 38-3 with 9:54 left in the third quarter. Final Score: MSU 41 - NU 38.

35 point comeback.

● 1979 Cotton Bowl: Houston lead Notre Dame 34-12 with 7:37 left in the fourth quarter. Final Score: ND 35 - Houston 34.

22 point comeback.

● 1980 Holiday Bowl: SMU lead BYU 45-25 with less than 4 minutes left. Final Score: BYU 46 - SMU 45.

20 point comeback.

● 2015: Pitt lead Houston 34-7 with 11 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Final Score: Houston 35 - Pitt 34.

28 point comeback.

● 2015: Memphis lead Houston 34-14 early in the 4th quarter. Final Score: Houston 35 - Memphis 34.

20 point comeback.

● 2015: Baylor lead Michigan State 41-21 entering the 4th quarter. Final Score: Michigan State 42 - Baylor 21.

20 point comeback.

● 2017: Boise State lead Washington State 31-10 with 10:53 left in the 4th quarter. Final Score: Washington State 47 - Boise State 44.

21 point comeback.

● 2019: Michigan State lead Illinois 31-10 entering the 4th quarter. Final Score: Illinois 37 - Michigan State 34.

21 point comeback.

● 2021: Louisiana Tech lead Mississippi State 34-14 with 13:11 remaining in the 4th quarter. Final Score: Mississippi State 35 - Louisiana Tech 34.

20 point comeback.

● 2022: Oregon lead Oregon State 34-17 in the 4th quarter. Final Score: Oregon State 38 - Oregon 34.

17 point comeback.

● 2024: Marshall lead Georgia Southern 23-3 in the 4th quarter. Final Score: Georgia Southern 24 - Marshall 23.

20 point comeback.

● 2026: Ohio State lead Texas 23-3 early in the 4th quarter. Final Score: Texas 24 - Ohio State 23.

20 point comeback.

ChatGPT says there have been 15 20+ point comebacks, but only lists details for 12. The games without details are 1992 WVU over Maryland, 2008 Navy over Temple, and 2011 Baylor over Kansas.

ChatGPT cut off the query for a #1 team blowing a 20 point lead at 2004. Since that cutoff time, the #1 team with a 20 point lead was 197-0.

Now it's 197-1.

Ignominious is putting it lightly.

Someone asked Arthur Smith if he was familiar with Ohio State's version of the wide receiver screen, and he said: hold my beer.

This is what happens when they violate the Prime Directive.

He tried to Sark so hard and we let him get away with it. Stopping either of those 4th and longs would have probably been balllgame.

2 things bad play call. Bo needs to learn to not make it worse by running backwards.

dragurd said:

But essentially it went backwards without being deflected after thrown so should be a lateral if that was the complete rule. There is an assumption hand up = forward pass here. Either by the official having to deem intent when they have very clearly been going away from that in the last few years in the rules or just because it's written hand up arm goes forward while hit treat it as a forward pass.

I see what you are saying.

Yeah. I mean if the NFL is consistent with the application of the rule then this QB is not named Brady or Mahomes so he should not be afforded the same privileges here.

BUT he is a QB and this is the NFL so I guess Young should be lucky he didn’t get a penalty for hitting said QB too hard.

Like it felt during the game they played a crap ton of WR's probably went too deep. Some of that was the whether I assume some of that was the score making them thing they good away with more but that's a lot of back WR snaps and we probably went too deep which is the opposite of hartline playing the number 1s in the 3rd quater up 35 vs rutgers.

Also Bey getting no run in the 3rd was weird

Everybody calmed down yet?? Because I am feeling very hopeful and good about this team.

I think this team is talented enough to win it all for sure.

They were beating up a top 5 team in hostile territory, with 100 degree heat temps on national tv for 3 quarters. It all boiled down to a couple missed plays, however, the only pause I have is Day will stay aggressive and get out of his head.

There is still some fuss but we have ways of getting people to calm down and get ahold of themselves.
