JohnJ Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Tua screwed up in their first series, in the red zone. They scored. Expecting a closer game before it's over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 It was a great game Jim but my opinion hasn't changed about Franklin and his staff or the QB and the throws he still can't make. Cliffords ball throwing skill are horrible, but anyone who's watched every game that he played already knew that. Hopefully, Minnesota will get some respect in next weeks poll. Back to more recorded games.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Sitting here smirkin watchin Joe Burrow and LSU. Happy for him down there and if they meet the Buckeyes it's gonna be a real battle. He's a great kid and a true gunslinger! A match-up with Fields would be verrrrry interesting! Have to get there first! A lotta ball left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It's observations like that which made me question why Matt Leinart was highly rated. I thought his passes lacked touch. He had no finesse no display of real skill. Well, he didn't last long in the pros. Sometimes I think we are smarter than the scouts. It's like when Yogi Berra said, "you can observe a lot just by watching." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be more likely with the scenario that LSU beats Georgia to win the conference championship, and Alabama wins out to finish 11-1 with a final win at Auburn. I would think the committee members will contend that the Crimson Tide, with only one five-point loss to LSU, is still one of the four-best teams and would take them over a one-loss Pac-12 champion or one-loss Oklahoma for the No. 4 seed. I’m not saying it is right or what I would do, but I am predicting that’s what the committee will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The rankings will get an overhaul Tuesday. No way around it. Watching the champs play and the announcers talked a lot about Burrow early on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
