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).

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.
This halftime music is awful!
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.
Go... 🤔 Norte Dame?
I hate them less than I hate an Ohio State, so...
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.
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
This has been a FAST 1st half! Holy. Game started at 8. it's not even 9 yet.
It's what happens when those new clock rules cant give us the 20 ad breaks per quarter that we NEED.
😐
I think someone just got stabbed in the stadium, that was an insane yell the crowd mic picked up
Buckeyes' D says not so fast! They've certainly answered ND's offense.
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
Yeah this game's soooooooo over. 28-7. What I said before the half time!
The playoff will give us more competitive games they said
Edit: that was a BOOMING kick off tho
College football is like European soccer. A few big teams take all the top talent. The rest just aren't equal.
With NIL, top teams can't hoard top players so the difference between top teams and midlevel teams is much closer.
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).
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.
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.
That doesn't even happen in the NFL which has the best parody of any league.
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.
But there are still dominate teams in the NBA and NFL. There are teams that spend significantly less than the top teams.
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.
If Ohio State scores a TD here, this game is over. ND has no capability to come back. Not that passing offense.
OSU's Sunday roster starting to seperate
Wow. Both offenses are killing it out there.... just didn't expect this.
Christ. ND's O line is dominating.
Seems like Ohio State is proving Lou Holtz right.... xD
This is the oline play I wish we had
Is ND gonna play a Michigan gameplan?
ND needs a QB and some receivers.
Honestly the talking heads just weren't kidding when they said osu has far and away the most talented team in the playoff
We're also decimated by injuries.
Go Irish. But... We need some major adjustments at half.
Yeah like a new QB and receivers!
TD Ohio State! 21-7. I think this game is over.
There's something to Leonard. I can see him go in the 4th round and finds an NFL career.
Downs is going to be #3 pick.
