Y'all missing out if you're not watching this Utah USC game. Utah is giving it a hell of a go and are up by 7. One of the hardest trucks I've seen this year just got laid in the Utah QB. Absolutely hammered the guy with a clean hit and popped his helmet off.

USC came out swinging. I was like "Heck yeah, Caleb Williams for Heisman!" Not so much after the hand got cut. Impressive first half. Second half? Meh.

Utah is hungrier though. Their RB doesn't look real big but he has impressive yards after contact. Never seen him play so I'm not sure if it is just this game or how he always is. (Or a lackluster USC defense?)

Not over. Caleb Williams is gimping around and just took them down the field for a score.

Defense. Wins. Championships.
Or in OSU's case. . . Loses opportunities at Championships. 🤣

I enjoy seeing the underdog win so it was cool to see the 9-3 Utes best USC. Now what happens? Buckeyes have talent to match or best any team this year. They haven't shown the heart, coaching, or toughness to match the talent level. I almost don't want to see them in the playoffs. Yet. . . If they put it together they could win it all. Then again, you haven't put it together by week 11 you probably aren't going to in week 12 or 13. I agree with Joe- put Utah in the play offs.

Better hope that basketball school doesn't give Michigan more trouble tomorrow than OSU did and expose OSU as just a half-decent team in a conference full of never gonna amount to anything cakewalks. The only team they really ever have to beat is Michigan and they got manhandled. So if Michigan shows vulnerability against Purdue it's going to make that lackluster performance look even worse. All teams play cupcakes throughout a season. But if you look back through the seasons of the teams who have won the natty they always hung 40-50 points on the cupcakes and was giving their 2nd and 3rd string reps by late in the third. OSU has done some of that this year but only +13 on unranked Maryland, +14 on unranked Northwestern, +11 on unranked ND doesn't instill that confidence. Time will tell and we shall see. People are also Tired of Bama so that will likely give OSU an edge.
