CFB Playoffs Semi-Finals: ND/PSU TX/OSU

Is it just me or is OSU QB W. Howard kind of a D-bag

Two first names. Checks out.

I’m not confident in picking a winner of that game, that being said I think the Notre Dame defense is very much for real this year

And the run game with a great home run hitting RB, a nice complimentary sidekick and Leonard’s wheels.

It was more like a blessing in plain view for me. I’m ready for another…

The three OSU DL guys all looked like they could help us. Different flavors and probably no outright stars (though I think JTT has some lofty, albeit unlikely to be reached, upside.)

I was impressed. Tyleik may not even make it to us. If Sawyer and JTT continue to play this well in the playoff to move up into that Late 1st/Early 2nd range. I’d be happy to add any of those three to our defense acknowledging that I don’t expect any of the three to be an outright star.

This playoff run has been by far the best those three have played at Ohio State

I agree. I’ve always been the (or a :man_shrugging: ) high guy on JTT. But outside of '22 Penn State these two games were probably his best.

I also really value rare overall athleticism. He’ll immediately be one of the best basketball players in the National Football League. And I know that sounds ridiculous but that matters a great deal to me. Those guys if of high character, and he sure seems to be, tend to work out.

Still want Ryan Day fired?? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Gotta give the guy some credit. The sky was falling about a month ago, and he pulled it all back together. Now, I would be shocked if they don’t win the Natty.

I think the only team that ā€œmayā€ be able to slow the OSU offense is UGA, they have the ability to run a defense similar to what UM ran. Texas has talent but not sure Sark can pull it off or that Ewers can.

Only question I have on ND is how much depth do they have on the DLine, they just lost another guy there. I expect UGA to pound the ball at ND and win it on the run game with conservative passing.

Having said that I know little about ND’s team so the above may be foolish.

At this point, OSU is the favorite and I would be mildly surprised if they don’t win it. If they do all credit to them as it was the toughest road to the title.
Will have beaten:
TN
OR
TX
UGA/ND Winner

I think he would have a legitimate chance to go #1 overall in the upcoming draft if he was eligible.

Depending on who was making the pick.

He’d look good in a Lions uniform!

Won’t ever get the chance drafting in 30s.

Hopefully doesn’t end up in Chicago.

Is there any reason why Notre Dame-Georgia had to be at 4 eastern? Most people are back to work today, seems kind of stupid to slot it in during work hours and peak work hours for those on the west coast. It’s not like there’s a night game that they couldn’t go up against or even an NFL game for that matter.

I believe I read somewhere the coaches requested the earlier start, both teams.

Interesting but why?
