Great breakdown. Green was covered up but stayed in to block. No foul.

I don’t know how the officials huddled for 5 minutes to discuss and couldn’t figure that out.

Also should be able to be reviewed. Would have taken 10 seconds.


It's worse.



This was the formation the offense was in, and had motion to swap Green and Sharp. So that means the refs huddled together for 2 minutes to discuss this, and that's all they remembered. None of them paid attention that they moved in the formation, and didn't call up for help.
Pre-snap, Green is covered up, yes.



This is where Green ends up when MVB is throwing the ball.



That's 6 ineligible players, all 6 behind the LOS.

The real difference in the game was UH’s ability to control the ball.


Houston played nearly a perfect game. Zero turnovers, only 4 penalties.

LSU played a mistake-riddled game that you would expect from a bad head coach like Frank Wilson. That's why Houston won.

Ramos missed his 2nd FG of the year from under 45 yards.
LSU facemask turned a 4th and 16 FG attempt for Houston into a 1st and Goal, and eventual TD.
Wilson himself turned a 1st and 10 from the 14 for Houston with 9 seconds left into 1st and goal from the 7. It's not unreasonable to think that unsportsmanlike conduct penalty cost LSU 4 points.

LSU was also unlucky. That unexplained ineligible receiver call turned a likely FG attempt into a punt (this call is also what allowed Houston to score a TD before halftime).

Many complain that the non playoff bowls ho-hum but this is a way to make them fun and generate interest, especially with kids like Nickelodeon did with the NFL.

Good on them.


The writing has been on the wall for decades. The Rose Bowl took itself far too seriously after the BCS started to the point where almost no one cared about it.

It's really good marketing by Pop Tarts. A sentence I didn't think I'd be saying regarding a football game.

This was expected to be a really bad Saints team.

Do a look back at the season. Saints had the ball with a chance to win/tie vs Arizona, SF, NE, and Miami.

They have a ways to go before they can regularly compete against good playoff teams, but that wasn't even a thought in anyone's mind in August.

JMU and Tulane are better teams than we are seeing today. They are both playing top 10 teams on the road in late December after playing 13 games. It's an impossible situation.


"These teams deserve to be in the playoff, but it's not fair to make them actually play playoff games."

Got it.
This is where we pretend Tulane is a legitimate top 12 team.

The QB play is not good


Yeah this is it. It's terrible football.
I was promised playoff teams were playing this weekend.

This is some awful football through 6 quarters.

If I were Oklahoma, I’d be hitting the portal for a QB1. Mateer has single handily lost them this game. And that’s taking nothing from Bama for fighting back like they did. But Mateer flat sucks.


I'm conflicted. He hit a WR in the hands to go up 24-7. WR drops it, and the game just turned on its head after the punter inexplicably just drops the ball.

Mateer played well enough through the first 26 minutes to win this game outright.

I do not want him to win. I have met him personally before and he is a nice enough guy but I did not appreciate the way he handled his departure here. I would have no ill-will towards him if he was man enough to just say "You know what, I'm ready for a change of scenery" but that's not what he did.



This is it for me, too. This franchise defended him when the entire NFL was at his throat. They could have fired him for cause when he was suspended for an entire season.

His gift back was to dig an enormous hole for the franchise, realize he couldn't easily get out of it, celebrate a retirement from the Saints, and leave the problems he created for others to clean up, so he could find another team in better shape to "start over" with.

I have never lost respect for an institution faster than I have lost respect for the University of Michigan athletic department this week. CLOWN SHOW.


You still had respect for them after the Connor Stalions stuff?

I watched most of the game. He had a couple of nice throws, including the int that Jerry Jeudy gave the Bears in the end zone. He struggles a lot with short to intermediate throws, which is something you can’t do in the NFL. He has a good arm and can improvise but I’d doubt the Browns are seeing qb of the future in what he is doing so far.


Isn't this just him at Colorado in a nutshell?

Just poor on everything that isn't making time outside the pocket and chucking it deep to save drives?

I really don't get why LSU fans just assume we would've beaten a really good UGA team that Bama needed a ton of luck to win.
I'm very concerned about his frustration leading to over aggressiveness.

A couple times per year he seems to want to go for 4th and short after a 3 and out on his own side of the field. Maybe he (rightfully) did not trust Golding's defense to get a stop.
Your argument that Corum is a great RB is that he got injured and the offense didn't skip a beat at all without him?

I believe it is more likely that ND was penalized for not being in a conference looking at the big picture. Idc if they put in a 4 loss Bama/ MIA or any other random team that is in a conference. The point to ND is "join a fricking conference" and I'm all for it. Hope this happens every year.


Miami and Bama were rewarded for getting big wins (vs. ND and UGA respectively).

At some point, ND has to schedule and win a game vs a top team. You normally get those by playing in a conference.

Never thought I'd see the NFL helping out a Sean Payton coached team.

I love that every party has reports that their side is "winning," and people just choose to believe the ones on their side.
