Official 2018 NCAA Football Thread

Two terrible calls. 100% agree.

How does the MSU coach not call timeout before Alabama snapped the ball after the no-call on the fumble, though? That was inexcusable. He should have called time out and called for a review.

 

They said the msu staff in the box didnt think it was a fumble. I was like wtf it was obvious Haha why would you not challenge that

 

Yeah. Not sure what they were looking at. Also, Bama took so long to snap it that Moorehead's kids could have called him from home and said the 5 TV replays showed that it was a fumble.

I don't feel bad. It was a terrible call, but they had all the time in the world to challenge it.

 

It was obvious at slow motion. Not so obvious at game speed. That's my problem with instant replay. Slow motion changes the way a play looks so much.

 

I don’t think I can watch the 2nd half Matt.

Good game. You can’t help what the refs do. They’re certainly intimidated by Coach Nick Saban and his NCAA power.

Fumbles, Ints are commonly reviewed w/o calling a timeout. We haven’t taught our players to fake an injury/cramp and delay the game, but why not? Everyone seems to do it, slowing the game when needed.

Y’all controlled the game and would’ve won despite the referees, however it would not have been a shutout. Agree or disagree.

 

Dawgs on top

 

Yeah, y'all got robbed on the phantom block in the back call. The game should have been 24-7. I bet they don't throw the flag if the MSU player doesn't throw his hands up the way he did. He certainly acted guilty in a bang-bang play. The ref looked up and saw the MSU player making the "oh, i definitely didn't do it" move.... No excuse for the call, but that's what I think happened.

Saying any of that happened b/c of Saban and his "NCAA Power" is..... something, though.

 

Steve Addazio must have some of that NCAA power also...smh

 

What’s going on with all the silly penalties? Gotta clean that up if we gonna even think about a chance against Bama. Also keep leaving points on the field. I don’t mean to sound negative but if we’re supposed to be a playoff team we can’t be doing that. I guess that’s what you get with so much youth though.

 

yeah our red zone offense sucks. Field goals only, in the red zone wont win a SEC title.

 

Brossette just intentionally didnt score TWICE to run the clock out lol what the heck

 

At 20 to 7 in the forth, I'm bailing to watch San Diego State play UNLV.

 

We made our share of mistakes. Y’all played tough. I’m glad our defense held up as well as they did.

Coach Saban has lead the NCAA in rule changes, with more on the way. He has NCAA power is a complement Matt...at least that’s how I’d take it if you said it regarding Miss State.

Clemson will be the only team that might challenge your team.

 

Power to Addazio

 

That he's led the charge on rule changes isn't in dispute. I just don't think the refs on the field are thinking about that when they make (or blow) calls.

I look forward to Bama/Clemson Part IV, but there are a few games that have to take place first. I can't imagine Alabama loses in the next two weeks, but then we have to play UGA in ATL. I think the thing I'm looking forward to most is the long break between the SECC and the bowl games. Tua's knee needs time to heal.

 

@drifter379 ... You hanging in there... Very very interesting 4th qtr... Tied up under 2 minutes...

 

Dafuq? I gave up on that game a while ago. Changing channel back now.

 

Tech pulling out some miracles and onside kicks

 

UTs kicker is solid... Only needs a little more yardage.
