Game Thread 2015 Sugar Bowl: (1) Alabama vs. (4) Ohio State, Jan 1st @ 8:30p ET, ESPN (civilized thread)

Just not playing smart football right now. Don't catch a punt at the 5 yd line

 

[Drubuck]

Let that go Marshal. Never field a punt inside your own 10 yd line. Let it bounce into the end zone.

 

[Telekinesis]

Could really use busting a big one for a TD right here.

 

[buckeyebri]

WHy catch that?

 

[OHSportsFan]

That line drive punt was going into the endzone!! Why the heck do you fair catch!??

Ohio State seems to go into full mental breakdown mode all at once. Eesh.

 

[LostLassie]

welp, i'm gonna play some video games. ttyl.

Have the game recording, but I'm playing my dvd of the Wisky game--hoping to send the same mojo down to the Sugar Bowl.

(That, and I'm a coward about close games.)

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Give. The. Ball. To. Ezekiel. Elliott. Please?

Young team man.....they're shook up.

A TD here would do wonders.

 

[Bucklion]

Always thought you were supposed to put your heels on the ten and not catch it if it goes over

You are, but in the last 10 years or so guys have watched too much Devin Hester

 

[SloopyHangOn]

Gotta play smarter, gotta coach smarter. Just letting so much potential for success go.

Why get the ball at the 20 when you can have it at the 5?

 

[kujirakira]

Love Jalin but he makes me age faster on every punt...

 

[Telekinesis]

Good news is, we've been shooting ourselves in the foot, not getting shutdown. Time to untangle those shoelaces and put in work.

Good point. Elliott should get a 95 yard TD run rather than an 80.

Fells, give the kid a break. The last punt went sideways and he HAD to field it at that point.
