That throw and catch, my god

 

[MirandaB]

This game!

 

[stocker08]

This is one of.....if not the best college football game I've seen all season (Gophers games excluded).

 

[howeda7]

What a drive by the back-up QB for Utah.

 

[disco]

This is an incredible game!

 

[SPB_Gophers]

Gosh I want us to play in the Rose bowl so badly

 

[WindyCityGopher]

WHAT. A. GAME.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Hope Utah scores and goes for 2

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Wonder if Utah will regret kicking a FG on the last drive; per the field goal line on TV they were in range

 

[TNGophfan]

Anyone have the over at 94? May be in trouble of OSU kicks a game ending FG.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

That’s a walk-on freshman coming into the 4th quarter of the damn Rose Bowl and dropping a dime on a do-or-die drive. Massive balls on that kid.

 

[Dakota2]

Whether or not any of us are 'okay' with it really doesn't matter. Didn't Bateman basically do that last season? (and yes, I realize last season was like nothing else).

Just wondering if you would "understand".

 

[TNGophfan]

These guys need Kesich as their kick off specialist.

These guys need Kesich as their kick off specialist.

Unfortunately there just isn't enough talent to go around. Utah can hope that one day they'll have Gopher-like spoils.

 

[FormerFatOL]

Utah has one of the best college kick returners I've seen. Pooch kick?

 

[50PoundHead]

They left nine seconds on the clock. What were they thinking?

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Utah left Stroud too much time.

 

[TNGophfan]

Bunch of OSU fans with Buckeyes - 6 1/2 not happy.

 

[FormerFatOL]

OSU with 682 yards of offense. Bejeebus.

 

[MirandaB]

Wow

 

[Gilthorp57]

What was Utah saving those time outs for?

 

[FormerFatOL]

OSU with 682 yards of offense. Bejeebus.

Smith-Njigba with 346 of those yards. Unheard of.

 

[disco]

Just wondering if you would "understand".

Sure. But once again, what I think doesn't matter. People are going to do what is in their best interest. Hence all the one and done guys in college hoops.

Would I like it if guys didn't do this sort of thing? Sure.
Do I think it hurts the game? To some extent.

But I don't get people complaining about players acting in their best interests.

 

[50PoundHead]

I shudder to think what kind of stats Stroud and Smith-Njigba put up next year.

Utah has a nice offensive game scheme and they executed it well.

Hard fought game. I thought it got a little chippy at times.

 

[jblass]

Great game! Great play by both teams. Too bad somebody had to lose! Congrats to Ohio Sate!

 

[forever a gopher]

Ugh…I can just feel the pain of those Utes fans. A gut punch we know all too well.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Love how Herbstreit and Fowler drool all over CJ Stroud when he has all day to throw on every single play. They’re not astute enough to point that out. Just look at all the phenomenal Buckeye QBs that actually play, or play quality minutes or plays in the NFL. There are probably 50 QBs or more every year that can do what CJ Stroud, or any Ohio St QB has done the last 15 years.

 

[50PoundHead]

The ghost of Woody Hayes probably wonders what game the Buckeyes were playing.

 

[GFBfan]

Do you expect them to workout like 16 hours a day?

Only Russell Wilson is capable of that.

Maybe so on the time to throw, but his accuracy is incredible.
