Game Thread: Cotton Bowl, CFP Semi : (8) Ohio State vs. (5) Texas, 7:30pm ET, ESPN, 1-10-25

[PA Tide Fan]

Running wide on the goal line against a speedy defense?

Okay.

Sark cost his team the game with that call.

 

[editder]

Where’s Magoolihay? Seems they never show him when things are going wrong.

 

[Tidewater]

Ewers played a very poor game.
OSU's D might have had something to do with that.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

Helluva play by #33. Sark crapped his pants on playcalling in the red zone.

 

[Joefus]

God what a way to lose this game. For the first time I actually rooted for Texas

 

[Special K]

Sark blew it with that deep toss on the goalline. And Ewers = Beck. They will both make some wow plays but become turnover machines in crucial situations.

 

[crimsonaudio]

Sark is literally Jekyll / Hyde wrt play calling - either genius or literal idiot.

It's actually impressive.

 

[smokies1]

amazing that one bad play call ends your season

 

[crimsonaudio]

OSU gonna win it all.

Texa$ fans will be on Sark’s tail after everything was so gift wrapped for them to win it all. I mean They had the easiest schedule in the SEC, the SEC and CFP refs in their back pockets, and a home CFP semi final. There are going to be alot of questions about why Arch wasn’t more involved.

 

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

Geeze. What a 90 second implosion...!

 

[day-day]

On pick 6, If defender takes a knee then game is over. Now, Texas still has a chance

Texas had two timeouts plus the two-minute timeout. I don't think OSU could have run out the clock without a first down.

 

[B1GTide]

Thank you Sark for those play calls. 1st and goal at the one? You better pass.

 

[SkinnyFats]

Downs coming up big at the end of the game. He was a huge loss for Alabama.

 

[CrimSonami]

Fitting that CD2 would seal it!

 

[BamaFanInTally]

Wow....I expected more from Sark.

Kept wondering why they didn't send Arch Manning in for a drive just to see what happened.

Oh well......pretty good game anyway.......

Texas would do well to have a mutual understanding /parting of the ways with Ewers.

 

[B1GTide]

Downs coming up big at the end of the game. He was a huge loss for Alabama.

He changed the culture in our locker room. Impact there greater than on the field.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

I think OSU will have too much speed for Notre Dame.

 

[crimsonaudio]

Impressive play again from OSU. Day has got this team humming. It will take an implosion by OSU along with an explosion from ND for the Buckeyes to not win it all.

God did not bless the team with so much talent, money did. Kind of a weird statement.
