***Official CFB NCG Thread: Ohio wins; Joe T shamed once again*** (3 Viewers)

[dparker713]

Aside from the ball slipping out of his hands, Cardale Jones has been phenomenal. Is there anything even close to a comp to what Jones has done in his first three games? Assuming OSU goes on to win here...the dude came in and led his team to a Big 10 title, a comeback win against a powerhouse Alabama team and then a National Title?

I can't even think of the adjectives or a paragraph description that would do it justice.

He's going to have the greatest 3 game NCAA career in history.

He pretty much HAS to go pro now, right?

I believe he is ineligible to go pro. The bigger question is...how does he not start for OSU next year?

You believe wrong.

Please clarify. He is a sophomore. Wasn't Mike Williams a sophomore when he tried to go pro? Did Jones red shirt or something?

His class has nothing to do with his age. As has been stated several times in the past few pages, he is old enough to go pro.

 

[Kitrick Taylor]

Rank them.

Chubb

duke Williams

Royce Freeman

Ezekiel Elliot

Tyler Boyd

 

[The Commish]

wow....really thought it would be a fake of some sort.

 

[Capella]

Helfrich was embarrassed as a coach tonight. Recruit players that actually have balls.

They'll never be able to recruit line play like the southern teams or a power like OSU. The players just aren't as numerous out west.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Interesting point in the game to get conservative

 

[jurb26]

Ripped that ball. He's got an arm. This system doesn't ask him to use it.

Like I said in the Mariota thread. He throws hitch, curl and post well. That was a curl and well thrown.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Coaching for job security rather than championships.

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

So that does it. Congrats to OSU, much deserved.

Good luck next week against TCU!

TCU -9.5

What's the total?

 

[Raider Nation]

Oregon beat South Dakota and Wyoming though.

 

[lod01]

Ripped that ball. He's got an arm. This system doesn't ask him to use it.

The windup and the pitch. Ala Byron Leftwich.

He's had some short compact quick throws tonight. Leftwich could never make those throws. The TD pass was one of them.

 

[The Commish]

Zeke better be taking his line out for some steak dinners after opening those mack truck sized holes for him...they are doing whatever they want.

 

[Yenrub]

Mariota looks robotic on his passes. Too slow of a motion and no zip. 5th round talent.

He's not going in the first

He's going in the first because NFL teams are desperate for a QB.

He should go...

Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain’t come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS

—Cardale Jones, Twitter: October 5, 2012

WOW

Surprised he put it out there like that

If he does come out where do you think he would be drafted?

He only has 3 games under his belt

They figure a turnover is due.

That still doesn't explain why he recruited so many players with no balls.

 

[BigJohn]

CoC commercials are brilliant.

 

[jurb26]

I love that tOSU is going to win this and a ton of people think they didn't deserve to be here.

 

[Raider Nation]

Wow, thought for sure they'd get a stop this time.

 

[hagmania]

I love that tOSU is going to win this and a ton of people think they didn't deserve to be here.

This is why college football needs an 11 team playoff.

 

[Vike Me]

I'd run the ball 4 times. They can't stop them.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I love that tOSU is going to win this and a ton of people think they didn't deserve to be here.

Still a fraud IMO until they beat TCU or Baylor

 

[Ilov80s]

Coaching for job security rather than championships.

Is that even possible when one is coaching in the national title game?

 

[mr roboto]

Wow, thought for sure they'd get a stop this time.

 

[irish eyes]

This Ohio State QB is very good, but some of you guys are going way overboard IMO. He's not the key to this victory. It's the lines. Particularly the Ohio State offensive line, just dominating the LOS.

You are so right, its funny. Is that troy smith or what was the qb that never made it.???

 

[joffer]

how good is Virginia Tech?

 

[rockaction]

CoC commercials are brilliant.

I don't play, and I love that one. Great music and cool action.

A few years ago when I looked it up, Hillsborough Co put more kids in Div 1 schools than the state of Oregon.

 

[BigJohn]

What I love most about Elliott is every time he's going down, he always seems to burst for an extra 2-3 yards at the end of his runs.

 

[SIDA!]

I love that tOSU is going to win this and a ton of people think they didn't deserve to be here.

I was one of them. Have to own it and say that I was clearly wrong.

And ultimately, you have to say the committee got it right.

Absolutely love the fact that the national champ will be a team that would not have received any consideration under the old system.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Vince Young has never looked better.

Ditto. Thought they were gonna get blown out by Alabama.

why not?

Come on Urban.

Gotta walk before you run. Get it to 8.

 

[mr roboto]

Play in game between 64-65 iMO.

 

[massraider]

oregon has a +4 turnover ratio. Unreal.

 

[bryhamm]

Hey, they got the stop they wanted

No, I really don't .

 

[Ilov80s]

I think 11 is a good number.

Logan Thomas of Virginia Tech had an up-and-down career. He never had 3 games as good as Cardale Jones has. Logan Thomas was a 4th rd pick

You think the committee should have left out the defending and undefeated National Champs?

The Dr. Pepper guy looks like he smells like pee.

Logan Thomas is pure garbage and should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Jones.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Thought Dr. Pepper would give us something new for this game

Only reasonable explanation. This is going to be Larry Coker all over again.

 

[lod01]

Vince Young has never looked better.

Vinc was a turd that had no ability other than running the ball.

 

[Galileo]

2016 Buckeyes...

Miller moves to WR

Barrett and Jones run 2 QB system ala Tebow and Leak

 

[The Commish]

Unloading on Oregon...man

You're boring.

His point was that if Thomas was a 4th rounder, Jones should be at least that.
