You're cheering for ND because you hate anOSU. I'm cheering for ND because it paints the narative that Brian Kelly is a bad coach. We are not the same.
ND got close towards the end there. I rooted for ND even though Texas would look better if Ohio won, because I just can’t stand Ohio state (and the whole THE Ohio state pompous douchebag bullshit).
Well midlevel teams need to get same budget as big teams. So whoever can spend will get the talent rn. That's basically what happens in European soccer. Whichever club gets big money behind it gets to be successful. Like Mancity. Mancity was an also run till the oil money took over.
Yes NBA a single player can make a huge difference because its only 5 players. But the talent disparity isn't as great between teams in NFL like it is in college.
NIL and the transfer portal haven't leveled the field. It's still the haves, the sort of haves and the barely a team schools. About half the playoff teams this year were top 15 or so nil programs. If you count those that won a game, Penn State is the lowest spender, but still in the top 30.
It's a high variability game, so money isn't going to equal wins constantly (see Texas a&m).

Also I think for UT, an anOSU win looks better.

I forgot the Brian Kelly angle. Dude is a snake. Like Urban Meyer if he didn't knuckle women in bars

Oh, so it is possible to score against tOSU from the 1 yard line. Just need a mobile quarterback. Gee, wish we had one of those on our roster...

Texas fan? xD.

I love long drives, makes it so we don't have as many ad breaks

Watching games live is unbearable due to ALL THE ADS. I have to wait long enough to be able to fast forward through them.
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 1y
This has been a FAST 1st half! Holy. Game started at 8. it's not even 9 yet.
g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
It's what happens when those new clock rules cant give us the 20 ad breaks per quarter that we NEED.

This halftime music is awful!

Buckeyes' D says not so fast! They've certainly answered ND's offense.
g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
I feel like osu always manages to get a reciever open along the sidelines in that 10-20 yard range. Will always has a check down with seperation

I think someone just got stabbed in the stadium, that was an insane yell the crowd mic picked up

OSU's Sunday roster starting to seperate
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y
Wow. Both offenses are killing it out there.... just didn't expect this.
g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
The playoff will give us more competitive games they said
Edit: that was a BOOMING kick off tho
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y
College football is like European soccer. A few big teams take all the top talent. The rest just aren't equal.
jimbolauski@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
With NIL, top teams can't hoard top players so the difference between top teams and midlevel teams is much closer.

That doesn't even happen in the NFL which has the best parody of any league.
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y
Yes NFL and NBA with the draft and free agency doesn't allow a few teams to accumulate the talent. I don't know how you do that in college though.
jimbolauski@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
But there are still dominate teams in the NBA and NFL. There are teams that spend significantly less than the top teams.

NIL and the transfer portal made it better, 4 star recruits are no longer sitting on the bench, they go to programs where they can play.
g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Is ND gonna play a Michigan gameplan?
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y
If Ohio State scores a TD here, this game is over. ND has no capability to come back. Not that passing offense.
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y
Yeah this game's soooooooo over. 28-7. What I said before the half time!
g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
This is the oline play I wish we had
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y
Christ. ND's O line is dominating.
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y
Seems like Ohio State is proving Lou Holtz right.... xD
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y
ND needs a QB and some receivers.
g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Honestly the talking heads just weren't kidding when they said osu has far and away the most talented team in the playoff
timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y
We're also decimated by injuries.
Go Irish. But... We need some major adjustments at half.
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y
Yeah like a new QB and receivers!
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y
Downs is going to be #3 pick.
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y
TD Ohio State! 21-7. I think this game is over.
RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y
There's something to Leonard. I can see him go in the 4th round and finds an NFL career.
