Penn St seemed like a poorly coached team that luckily just had more talent overall to get past them.   I don’t watch a lot of Penn St football so maybe that was just a bad day….but their coaching nor QB impressed.  

Think Boise St had the better coaching and QB play.  

just too much of a talent disparity overall on the rosters  

Like I said, didn't watch much of it.

But the part I did watch, Boise State drove the ball down the field, got an apparent td that was called back due to a hands to the face penalty.  Then the BSU qb threw a wounded duck pass that the safety caught looking like a baseball center fielder.  A TD there cuts it to a 3 point lead.  Then Penn State goes 3 and out, and BSU drives it 55 yards for a missed 38 yard fg attempt.  After that, I changed the channel. 

Admittedly, its a small sample size, but it appeared to me that Boise State had a case of nerves playing on a national stage.

I felt the BSU QB played really well until that pick.  Think the load on his shoulders was just too much over time.    Kicking game (couple ones) nor Jeanty was there to aid him like would be needed in that type game.

I also bashed the Illinois HC yesterday for what I believed at the time was a scumbag move.   I retract that upon further review info.  He was calling SC out for what he viewed as a player safety issue on a prior play while his guy was hurt ….and Beamer’s meltdown was a hit dog hollering.

Hot take.  Boise State/Penn State and Clemson/ Texas were more entertaining games than probably 40% of the games ever played in the CFP.   Some revisionist history has been done about how good playoff games have been because people were buthurt they didn’t get the teams they wanted in

I thought all of the games were good yesterday.

Jeanty is supposed to be the best RB of the class and Skattebo is supposed to be a guy who isn't going to translate well to the NFL but on the first snap of the game Skattebo does what Jeanty failed to do all game last night and beat a top tier P4 defense around the edge.

[LinvilleGorge]

How in the HELL did he get that punt off???

Dude could've probably straight up tackled the punter and instead completely whiffs so it's a penalty for running into the punter. LOLOLOL

I mean, he did put 200 up on the #1 team in the nation from that same conference. 

But hard to disagree he looked pretty ordinary last night.  Just like a average power 5 starting RB

This ASU QB needs to settle down. Way too scramble happy. Like chill, bro. You ain't Lamar Jackson.

That Texas coach screaming at the player is ridiculous.  He was right there to block that and somehow he didn’t.

This one is David vs Goliath.  Texas blowout incoming

Ugh. It's gonna be another blow out isn't it? Two plays, 75 yards, TD. LOL

Oregon has the #1 overall team but barely a top 35 run D. PSU is a top 10 run D.

ASU might not should have talked that noise about showing the world he is better than Ewers….especially given he wasn’t even going to have his best WR out there
