Whomever is calling the plays for Vandy…. Woof

[TheWatShot 13,822]

OSU will probably end up winning, but this game may be a cautionary tale that rivalry week doesn't always go according to plan.

Speaking of play calling…..

sure hope we mix up it vs PU like we did every game prior to UM.

And Tennessee tied up with Vandy now.  Vandy making tons of mistakes now.

[RaceToTheTop 25,274]

Clemson and South Carolina tied at 7 at half.  That's good for IU because you don't want one to dominate the other.

How so?

Two loss Indiana is most likely out when the two losses are against the only two good teams they played.  Just reinforces the narrative against us. 
 

But think about it logically…we’re all sweating out a one loss Indiana getting in. Very unlikely a two loss one does.  
 

Of course with the way some other teams are shouting themselves in the foot you never know. Btw, root for Texas. A&M SEC championship increases the likelihood of more sec teams and would make a two loss ND more likely over Indiana.

I see your thinking, and if we make the B1G Championship game and got slaughtered, you might be right? But if the game was competitive it really shouldn't hurt us! Very unlucky both or either lose.....

Watching OSU-UM highlights. Not sure if it makes me feel a whole better but the refs also allow OSU to hold against UM.
On every play they showed there were blatant shoulder pad grabs, jersey pulls etc.etc with no calls against OSU.

Can't wait for ESPN's next narrative about how Vanderbilt is the best 6-6 team in college football.

They must be good, otherwise Tennessee wouldn't have been behind them 14-0.

Personally this game outside of the first 3 drives Vandy looks bad bad bad

[RoadRage 1,718]

Vandy is very inconsistent, they can look great one minute and terrible the next!

Yep. Refs are going to do whatever it takes to keep OSU competitive. Expect the flags to fly hard the rest of the game

Clemson scores and then South Carolina fumbles on the next drive.

[RoadRage 1,718]

Can you imagine the growth of the Purdue fanbase this evening?

[RaceToTheTop 25,274]

Oh, wow.  Think South Carolina just got a HUGE break....I think review is wrong.

[RoadRage 1,718]

Man, OSU holding like crazy!

Like Georgia last night. Never called. Ever. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,274]

So here was the situation:  Clemson was trying to run a double reverse....but the QB slipped while pitching to the halfback.  Halfback himself them had to slip to get the handoff who then pitched to the receiver.  Looked like the halfback was down when he pitched it (he was), so the play should have been dead there.

But while the halfback was down, replay ruled he never had firm control of the handoff and therefore it was irrelevant whether he was down.  South Carolina ball.

Just my opinion (and I want South Carolina to win as I think it's better for IU) ball should have stayed with Clemson.

Will Howard is Michigan's best player today.

Google that.
