2025 College Football Thread: “Lane won’t do the same thing he’s done for 18 years to us!” LSU says to itself (34 Viewers)

[Sparky Polastri]

That’s absolutely the wrong call but understand why they made it

Why?

Yeah, I'd like to understand too

 

[bigbottom]

Seems like it should have been a touchback.

Overturning two called TDs would have made Ryan Day cry?

[GroveDiesel]

Think they made the wrong call by the book, but I also think the rule of lost possession of a fumble through the end zone is one of the dumbest.

 

[Summer Wheat]

Seems like it should have been a touchback.

The call by the rule was incorrect, and it was a 4th down play.

Huge break for OSU right there. It was a tough call to make and the refs did not want to make it.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Michigan got hosed there. Should be Michigan ball on the 20.

 

[nysfl2]

Refs seem to be on the OSU payroll. First the late Td call where he stopped at the 1 td line and now a clear touchback “upheld” as a td. No excuse for not overturning it.

 

[GroveDiesel]

My question on possession is once a runner has possession and bobbles it, do they actually have to establish a foot down when going through the end zone to regain possession? Maybe the fact that it was the end zone eliminates the need to get a foot down?

They also let a Michigan player stay in the game after headbutt and that last PI was 8 yards out of bounds. Just bad all around

 

[Beef Ravioli Part 2]

Nice block or nice hold?

 

[AAABatteries]

That’s absolutely the wrong call but understand why they made it

Why?

Why is it wrong or why did they do it? It was wrong because I don’t think he had control and stepped on the line. They made it because it’s easy and they can say they weren’t sure.

I struggle with it. On one hand, I actually like the punitive side so you can't just be reckless going into the endzone and a touchdown then is clearly a score (should be without question).

A touchback seems overly punitive, but I do think some form of punishment is appropriate. I'd be ok if it did something like push the ball back to the 20 or 30 yard line if you do that, but the offense retains possession. Not sure what you'd do with the down to make (like if it was 2nd and 10 and you did that, 3rd and 10 from the 20/30? But what about 2nd and 1 and do that? 3rd and....10? 1?). Keeps it within a FG-ish range, but does still punish the offense for reckless play.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Were they on the payroll when they didn’t DQ the guy who headbutted ref. Or called a DPI when the ball was 20 yards out of bounds? Or when they missed the clear hold on the RT on the last big run?

These refs are just bad. They’re not biased, they’re bad.

Agreed

Michigan’s OC calling a terrible game so far

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Zvada still makes me nervous after a down year. Please keep it down the middle today

Almost feels like if the Defender forces a fumble or a player just drops the ball showboating it should be a touch back. A play like we just had shouldn't be a touchdown or lose possession.

I'm not very impressed so far either

My daughter, literally, said the same thing. She doesn't watch football.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

I know that you guys who are part of this rivalry don't get surprised by this game, but Im not sure I'll ever be able to wrap my head around how Michigan can consistently stay with OSU

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Man, gotta get some pressure.

 

[AAABatteries]

I know that you guys who are part of this rivalry don't get surprised by this game, but Im not sure I'll ever be able to wrap my head around how Michigan can consistently stay with OSU

Yep, truly shocking that the college football team with the most wins ever can make a rivalry game close.

Not normal circumstances.

Meh. Specific to this year, the talent diff plus the youth forced to play for Mich is a pretty steep hill to climb, but to their credit, they're doing it.

 

[identikit]

Michigan's offense needs a sea change or else they have no chance

 

[Sparky Polastri]

That was big for OSU.

 

[belljr]

Is it me or are there a LOT of OSU fans at Michigan

 

[Sparky Polastri]

[The Longtime Lurker]

Gonna need the D to step up and make some plays and get a turnover or two.

Michigan O needs to find a way to get into the end zone. FGs aren't gonna get it done.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

M offense cost themselves 8 points by being limited to FGs the first two possessions. Then the refs cost the defense another 7 on what should have been a touchback.

 

[ChiefD]

This game is over.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

This game is over.

I'll have none of that

Nothing is over

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Where is that #15 for Mich? Just realized I haven't seen him.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Bench Underwood?

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Hausmann out is disappointing, wild turn of events from him. Bad timing for a spiritual awakening.

The story as i understand it is over the bye he went on a mission in Uganda(?). He was called by Jesus to dedicate his life to service and football no longer matters

Wow. Good on him. Sucks a lot for you guys, but good for him

Weather getting a little blustery.

Been following the story loosely. He was adopted as a child from Uganda. I hope he finds peace in whatever direction he chooses.

Absolutely. Life is bigger than football.

(Still wish the timing was different)

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Big stop. Gotta open up the offense. There's nothing to lose playing to win

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

These lateral and behind the line throws are killing me

 

[msudaisy26]

I have never seen a punt that wasn't blocked barely make a first down on 4 and 10.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Day finally gets to 100 he promised years ago in this game.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Tate!!!

 

[msudaisy26]

Might be over now.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Wide *** open backyard "go deep" ball. Wow.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Might be over now.

What every OSU fan is nervous about now though is Day turtling up and getting too conservative on offense. Still a lot of time left. Break a big play and get a turnover and UM is back in it.
