Bummer about Stover.

Sorry, folks, this game appears rigged. CJ doesn’t even look like he wants to be there…..and it was like that early in Q1.
2 Patriots were guilt of PI on that 3rd and 6 for Houston yet neither was called. One was a 3 second jersey tug and the other was the intended receiver who got bumped as the ball was coming in.

My faith in pro sports has been pretty low, but the NBA and NFL are so manipulated and rigged.

Multiple tears and years of late life pain in that one for Stover. Damn

Stover just shredded his knee reaching back for that ball

:( Stover's done ...

Needed to leave that out there by a few more yards

shocking ... missed a hold and a PI... fuck the pats...

24 is too fucking many. Quit the dumb shit already.

What a fucking catch. Wow

Big Ten, SEC still deadlocked on College Football Playoff format​

With a Friday deadline looming, the Big Ten and SEC remain deadlocked about the future format of the College Football Playoff following Sunday's annual business meeting of CFP leaders.

"Still more work to do," Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said as he exited past more than a dozen reporters waiting outside the meeting room of the Lowe's hotel in South Beach.

The Big Ten and SEC have the bulk of control over the format in 2026 and beyond because of a memorandum of understanding that was signed by the 10 FBS commissioners, including former American Conference commissioner Mike Aresco, and Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua. If Petitti and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey can't agree on a format by Friday -- an extended deadline imposed by ESPN, the sole TV rights holder -- the playoff will stay at 12 teams for at least another year.

There is overwhelming support in the room for a 16-team playoff to begin as soon as 2026, sources said, but the Big Ten won't agree to it unless the SEC agrees to a 24-team format three years later. Sankey and Mississippi State president Mark Keenum, the chair of the CFP's board of managers, have stated publicly that the SEC would prefer a 16-team model. Sources have said Sankey doesn't want to commit to a 24-team field now, and Sankey wasn't immediately available for comment following the meeting.

Just sayin': If you go to a 24 team format and eliminate the CCGs (and there is no official conference champion) why even have the conferences? Yeah, I know it would be to just negotiate the TV contracts.....

This game is just Iowa on both sides

This is simplifying the game way too much. Howard ran for 220 yards, Cardale ran for 80 in 3 starts, and Krenzel ran for 360. So OSU also hasn’t won an NC with a QB that’s run for more than 360.

I don’t mind Sayin running the ball more, especially options in short yardage. I don’t think it’s a magic key to unlocking more NCs, and it’s not worth sacrificing a better passing game for a handful of scrambles.

And I doubt the fanbase that wants to wrap players in bubble wrap and play the backups more will be ok with their QB getting hurt running the ball against Purdue.

Yeah he just needs to take free yard on occasion not run a bunch when he would get hit.
