Ewers has played fine today, these are both top 3 defenses in the sport this year riddled with NFL talent

If they lose it’s going to be on the playcalling more than the players.

We haven't had a DL capable of getting pressure like OSU did tonight in a long time, and certainly didn't have it last year.

Getting Sawyer & JTT to come back was huge for them. Neither had really done much before this year and they both went off.

That 2nd and goal play call was so egregiously bad to the point I believe it will do significant damage to Sark's reputation. It was totally inexplcable. I hate it for him because he's done such a great job at UT, but he will never live that down until and unless he wins a national championship.

ND has a tough task. They have an old school kind of team and id much rather see them win.

I think if you are ND, you run ball, play field position and eat as much clock as possible

I mean it was an objectively horrible play call

QB sneak four straight times with Arch or the tight end pushing Ewers. All they had to do there and they're in

If you want misdirection run a pop pass

Sark is about to get the type of treatment James Franklin and Ryan Day have been getting. He can only overcome that play call with a national championship. I’m still in shock he called that.

Sick watching him celebrate like the jersey he wears means anything more to him than a peace of laundry. Caleb Downs is a great player but a soulless mercenary.

Yeah he’s jumping around talking shite at the camera, but say the Longhorns dangle 4 mil of NIL in his face, he’s “gone to Texas” tomorrow without giving the title a second thought.

Yup, Michigan gave them a blueprint for how to beat this anOSU team, but as you said, it’ll still be a tough task.

I agree about the toss sweep. And it looked like osu saw it coming, plus the Texas execution of the toss sweep is as poor as ours has been. The running back was only a couple of feet from the quarterback. Same result we always get. But that is just a terrible idea on the goal line.

He just wants to win a national title...you think the NFL players aren't excited to win the Super Bowl because they went to the team either by a conscription process or because the team offered the most money?

I saw a statistic that Sark is now 4-17 versus Top 10 teams.

Nobody said this before the game. That was two very similar teams.

We already have seen OSU vs PSU, now we see part two

Ohio State is proof that a national championship can be bought.

If 300,000 Alabama fans contribute $100 dollars a year to NIL, that's 30 million dollars. Through in the boosters, that should be enough to buy a National Championship.
