An OSU Alumni co-worker stated the same thing yesterday. That is obviously their narrative given they can’t accept their defeat.

I told him Clemson probably saved Kirby Smart’s job.

Indiana had a pretty bad defense. Our inability to punch it in in the Red Zone is the single-biggest defining mark of a JG-led offense. We have always been terrible in the red zone with him as QB. Our OL did not block well. Our D played lights out for a half allowing both the fewest yards (by a long shot) and the fewest points to what had been a pretty good offense.

The 2nd Half of the Indiana game basically emcompasses our entire season. We started off bad, got down in a pretty big hole and then somehow resuscitated ourselves against poor opposition to end up just okay.

If we had gotten Michigan or Penn State, like this fool-hardy forum wanted... they would have slaughtered us.

Not sure I understand your logic regarding your last statement?

Or we would have rose to the occasion and played lights out and beaten either team. You make too many assumptions.

uga is currently on a 651 game winning streak. The losses don’t count because they either didn’t really care about the game or the refs cheated them.

Live in Georgia and this is so true. My brother in law who pretends to be a big uga fan didn’t watch the bowl game cause he thought they were going to lose because they didn’t care about the game.

Given Fields’ performance this year versus Fromm’s performance, GA fans are already extremely p*ssed Smart didn’t keep Fields in the fold by keeping him happy (aka playing time). If OSU had won the championship, Dawg Nation would have been calling for Smart’s head. They would have had their “Schiano” moment.

According to an article i just read on collegefootballnews.com, Tennessee was the biggest comeback of the season. No other team this season has come back from a double-digit deficit with less than 5 minutes to go in the game to win the game.

Another interesting stat: Indiana best WR Whop Philyor held to -10 total yards for receiving, rushing and return yards. Way to go Bryce!

Minnesota was the real deal this year for sure. Let’s hope we make that leap next season.

I think Auburn just forgot to play pass defense. Minnesota is a running team that burned Auburn for at least 6 passes of over 25 yards. If a good but not great Iowa team can shut down their offense then, Auburn should have been able to as well.

Gus just got schooled is all.

If Tennessee played Minnesota, we would have won 12-9 with the game winner from 57 yards out as time expired.
