Oh now don't get all sour. That was a shit game by both teams. One just managed to keep it close and pull it off in quadruple OT.
Agreed. Top seed teams don't have a game filled with penalties either. There's a LOT of cleaning up to do by both. At least your last 20 minutes was fun to watch. Lol

Saban proved once again why no other coach is even close to the caliber he is! The way his players step up and play to the end while opposing players and coaches take plays off or get conservative showed once again tonight regardless if this years team is as good as past powerhouses. When Auburn stopped them on the last 4th down with just 2 minutes left Bama should have never had the ball again! Auburn got conservative and Bama burned their TO’s and used great play calling, clock management and players stepped up and made the plays they needed.
Bama fans are lucky to have him and his attitude and persona that he rubs off onto his players.

I'm not sour. I've moved on.

Bama came back. I honestly only saw pieces of their game (which was mostly the end of the game.) Good for them. Sucks for Auburn.

I'm not sure I can get excited to watch the Buckeyes play again unless we get another shot at Oregon. It is what it is. Young team. Played a good season. Improved throughout the year. Just didn't dig down deep enough today. Not sure what else can be said. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Day still has to answer for a defense! First good defense and our offense couldn’t answer when it needed to.
I will say that the future looks bright buttttt, only if Day fixes the D! Big change in coaching staff if he wants to be a Challenge for National title!

Abysmal 1st quarter in the books. Not much to cheer about, much like the UM vs OSU game.
Nowhere to go but up starting the second quarter. 3 and 1 and no QB sneak?!?! Then 4-1 going all in throwing to end zone barely squeaking one in, 😳🙄
It worked but play calling like that isn’t going to win you many games or first downs.
Our defense just can’t stop a runny nose. Time to start ripping at the ball! Lmao

But Stroud actually ran the ball once. That's progress.

Down two players. Sawyer for targeting. One injured on that returned kick off. Plus the 4 or so sitting out. Not sure the missing players would make a difference. Our play is horrendous.

24 scholarship players for OSU did not dress for this game. We're playing with our second and third string defense, several new faces on offense. Not that our first team defense was much better, but the Buckeyes are nowhere near full strength on defense.

And fuck all those players who "opt out" of playing in a bowl game that doesn't give them an opportunity to raise their stock. football is a team sport. finish the job for your teammates and coaches who supported you along your path to the NFL.

Neither is Utah. Down so many DB's that they are playing a backup running back across from Jackson Smith Njigba
