Who the eff goes to a football game and stands there recording it on their shitty phone?

I prefer this vantage point of said play. Its also pretty funny how fast Kiffin's hands go down.

I like the dumb hick turning "touchdown" into a 3+ syllable word....until he wasn't

If Vonn Bell chooses to attend Bama intead of tOSU, the Wicked Witch of the South gets another title, and perhaps UFM lands in the hospital again. I thank Withers for that the gift.

If the quarterback is rolling right, probably, statistically, it is the right thing to do to go cover the WR on the side the QB is rolling to.

I got that phrase from a quoted post that came from another B1G chat site (Nebraska's I think).

I thought it was an eastern city newspaper after the Rutgers thrashing.

Could be...

Gamble also knew he could get back to the other guy. Bell had to leave White wide open behind him to make a play on the tight end.

Yes, he left his coverage on White. The Bama QB gave the play away by locking in on the TE early. That helped Bell's decision.
Still it was an incredible play!

I don't see the old "beating a dead horse" emoticon. Oh well. Here's my whack:
Bell could have covered his man, leaving the tight end wide open, or left his man open to cover the tight end. I'd imagine that the percentages were higher that the quarterback would pass to the tight end.
Either way, if the pass is on target, Alabama takes the lead, regardless of who Bell covers.

And here I thought we prevented him from celebrating a touchdown before the pass was thrown

Kiffin is hounded for that play call, but he had OSU completely outflanked. Fortunately Blake Sims, not Marcus Mariota, was the one throwing the football.

What a game. So many all time great plays in one contest, the reverse pass and toe touch, the pick six (very rare vs AL), the pick, the wham for 85 with honorable mentions for the onside recovery, the runaway freight train, the destruction of Collins and the blooper reel of whiffs by a wayward Ohioan at MLB

Saw this on "The Ozone"



Happy for another chance to see Evan Spencer's LB clearin' block!

I really hope the cameras catch Lane in the frame throwing his hands in the air in anticipation of a TD only to have Bell pick it off.

And you sir, win the Internet!
