Game Thread 2017 Cotton Bowl: OSU vs. USC - 12/29/17 @ 8:30 ET (ESPN)

Am I crazy or was that grounding? No one seemed to bring it up, save for a few here.

He took maybe 2 side steps and then the closest person to the throw was a Buckeye receiver. Clearly grounded it intentionally to save a sack. What the hell

He took maybe one step to the right, and threw it no where near anyone. Looked like a textbook call, to me.

It will be difficult to ever root for Ward after this.

Lol

Sorry that a guy whose dad passed away a year and a half ago doesn’t want to risk financial well-being for his family in a meaningless game.

Couch Coach Fucktard™ That would be great on a T-shirt.

Larry Johnson needs to be robotized and given perpetual employment.

Surprised by the positive remarks re: OSU offense

I'm assuming the team/coaching staff have known before 8:30pm tonight. I don't have an issue if he informed them some time ago.

Every other player who ever played for this program went out there including Joey Bosa and Zeke Elliot after they already won a title. They also played higher risk positions

This. I always hated how he got the most out of his D-lines at PSU regardless of talent level. He had some incredibly talented lines, no doubt. But even when he didn’t, he still had them playing stellar football in the trenches. Best DL Coach in the last 20 years, easily.

Feels like it's going to be a 31-17 final. Offense has been unimpressive. Defense is insane.

Defense has been insane. Offense has put up points but no really long drives. That's the only thing missing.

Up 24-7, D is lights out...I expect about 24 QB runs in the second half.

Watched again. Literally in the pocket. No receiver even remotely close. WR at top of play had moved across middle on a post. RB was underneath close to LOS. What the

Just as it’s difficult to root for whatever great-grandchild actually turns on the internet box in your house..

That was their decision to make. This was his....we have no position to criticize....it's not our life...
