Look I'll take it but that roughing was soft.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ok I admit, that's a lot of orange

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 1 points 7 months ago

When Herbie mentioned at the top of the broadcast that this is the most he's ever seen of a visitor team's colors in the shoe, that kind of blew my mind. Props to vol nation

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Cracked helmet, that's fucking badass

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Good god. I thought I had settled down to watch the game but family intervenes. How is it 21-0 early 2nd Q???

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Exactly what I worried would happen did. We don't tend to look good on the road in big games and Chip/the buckeye Oline got their act together and they've simply got a better roster. Tbh we've kinda got our act together, but it was literally the worst possible start.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Damn I thought Tennessee had a tough front 7. So Ohio State's O-line is controlling the game? Didn't think that would happen. From looking at the stats, Buckeyes' D-line is also dominating. Damn.

Shoulda been pi...

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Ugh, the football gods apparently love taunting us with almost fumbles still

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

lmao, are we jawing with the kicker rn?

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Ok Nico, get it girl

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I watched maybe 2 or 3 Tenn games all season. I don't ever remember seeing their QB run. But here he's running very 4th play it seems.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

OL ain't shit rn so now he's gotta

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Great throw by that Ohio State QB.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Nico's draft stock is rising despite his team losing badly.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Man, I didn't foresee this. I thought this would be a tight game.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Oh boy. I think it's over.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I didn't think he had it by a lot in live speed, but this is actually tight

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 7 months ago

Finally something going for y'all. I was about to put a fork in this game because I can't stand to watch an Ohio State

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yup, penalties already extending our opponents drive, ya love to see it

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 4 points 7 months ago (12 children)

^18^Clemson @ ^2^Texas

May the best orange team win (there is only one correct answer as to which orange is best)

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 7 months ago

GOAL LINE STAND

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 7 months ago

Ugh, what a disastrous turn of events. The INT sucks, but if we lost Majors that's even worse. Can't lose 2 O-linemen in one game...

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 7 months ago

The play where he fell down for a loss of 4 instead of throwing it away? Not sure. I think his ankle probably hurts more than he lets on, but I don't want to make excuses for his decision making trending down over the season

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Texas refusing to let this be totally boring...

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Strong answer from the Horns!

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 7 months ago

And followed up with another rushing TD! Bluuuuuuee

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 7 months ago

Bad guys score first. :( No defensive shutout for us

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 7 months ago

We should have taken the FG there. With how they stopped the last 2 rush plays, I knew we weren't going to pick up the 4th down with more of the same

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Remember though that the whistle is actually totally arbitrary and has no bearing on the status of play

Signed, a Vol that remembers

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Only started watching at half time. Did Texas dominate the 1st half because the score was 28-10?

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 7 months ago

Yes. We even gave them the ball once and turned over on downs but our defense was stifling. This half... well, you can see who has the momentum

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Very much so, it honestly should've been worsee

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

OMG what a freakin run.

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 7 months ago

That'll do it! Hook 'em!!!

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

That goal line stand will be in a best plays comp sooner and later

[–] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Penn state vs smu and Texas vs Clemson also on hbo max

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 7 months ago (7 children)

^5^SMU @ ^4^Penn State

White outs at Happy Valley are always rad. Too bad it can't be a night game (like, how much colder is it at night than during the day anyway?)

[–] CMLVI@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

SMU looking like they're desperate, not playing their game

[–] CMLVI@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Good lord what is this QB doing

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 7 months ago

Pick six for the Nittany Lions. This feels like it's shaping up to be like last night's game. I just want the underdogs to be competitive, man...

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

SMU very much looking like they're just happy to be here. PSU looking like they're here to party.

Well that was a decision by Clemson to run on 4th and 1 with a tight formation. Why not spread them out?

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Dabo is used to a LOS stranglehold against ACC opponents is my guess

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

ALEXA PLAY ROCKY TOP (WITH SINGING) [BASS BOOSTED] 10 HOUR MIX

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Ok that 25 yard run on 3rd and 7 just done the game.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I can't get over what an easy path Penn State has to semis. Come on, seriously?

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

They have a coach to overcome though, so it balances out.
