I have to say, listening to it now, that's a pretty cool call from Fowler. Not enough to make me come back from Sky Cast for the Natty, but still, a worthy listen.

McAfree ran me and little Jax off of his feed about mid 3rd quarter and little Jax hates it when I mute the tv so I listened to the last bit on regular broadcast.

Fuck them both ten times over but Howler did nail that one.

TOUCHDOWN TREVEYON. It’s been over 72 hours since the Cotton Bowl. I still want to know what Texas defensive tackle Alex January said to TreVeyon Henderson that made the Ohio State running back retaliate with a left-handed punch. No matter what it was, Henderson – an often calm, cool, collected person on and off the field – shouldn’t have stooped to violence, something he acknowledged after the game.

“After making a mistake on the field with the penalty, (I was) just spending some time with the Lord on the sideline, asking for his forgiveness and helping me to repent and to turn away because that’s not the person I want to be,” Henderson told Nicole Shearin of 10TV. “His hand is always there. Man, he picked me up in that moment.”

Restored with clear eyes and a full heart, Henderson delivered the second-best moment of the game for the Buckeyes, following after Jack Sawyer’s strip-sack scoop-and-score. The moment? You know it: The 75-yard touchdown reception via a screen at the end of the first half. However, you may not know what went into the gutsy play call with less than 30 seconds remaining in the second quarter.



“The screen, we were laughing about it in the locker room, having some fun with it, because we do screen drill (in practice). Sometimes, these guys are like, ‘Are we ever going to call a screen?’ I actually said to the coaches, ‘We’re going to stop doing screen drill because we don’t call any dang screens,” Ryan Day said after the game. “Sure enough, it’s ‘What do you want to run?’ You want to run the ball? You want to take a knee?’ I said, ‘Just run the screen.’

And that screen went the distance.

No one could believe it.

Not even Ohio State.

“I don’t think anyone thought that was going for 75 yards. That’s kind of a drive starter in that two-minute scenario, and you run it that first play. We did it in the Tennessee game where we come out and run the ball, and you get a positive gain, then maybe we can continue to work our two-minute drill,” Will Howard said. “But when you have a guy like 32 that can make plays like that – I mean, Carson Hinzman made some unbelievable blocks down the field, the receivers stayed on their guys – but 32 took off. That was a huge play for us, a huge swing. We talk about winning the middle eight all the time, and that was big.”



A guy like 32?

That’s a three-down back, Day said.

“TreVeyon is going to be a tremendous pro because not only does he do a good job running the ball, but he protects the ball at a high level, and he’s a threat with the ball in his hands as a receiver,” the head coach explained. “That becomes a huge threat, especially when they’re looking to take away some of our receivers, in particular Jeremiah (Smith), so hat’s off to him.”

Yes, hats off to him, the running back who has been electric each time he has touched the ball in the College Football Playoff:
  • Tennessee: 10 carries, 80 yards, two touchdowns; four catches, 54 yards
  • Oregon: 8 carries, 94 yards, two touchdowns; three catches, 20 yards
  • Texas: 6 carries, 42 yards; one catch, 75 yards, one touchdown
Is 11.4 yards per touch good?
