Week 11 Games

How much is OSU going to spend on their backup QB next year? Fahey threw an INT on their first possession. While Sayin is not the most amazing QB, they really miss him.
They have a five star QB on their roster, from last year's class (see post #3).

I'm not sure why they keep sticking with Fahey. He's clearly not ready.

....

End of 1st.

NW with a backup quarterback, up 3-0.

You’d have to really overpay though because no one that is any good wants to portal to be a backup. Any player thinking beyond NIL knows they need reps and exposure to make it to the next level. I think the reality is even top teams will never have the same depth they once had. Unless the Save College sports act changes that dynamic again.

Why is it that coaches insist upon handing the ball off into the teeth of the defense on 4th and short? Watching Nebby eff up a 4th down offensive play call.

Is it even possible that Wake Forest is any good?
Is it even possible that SMU is bad?
We must be in an alternate universe

Something about college football makes everyone so desperate to be the victim. Oklahoma's reaction to having their game moved is a bit ridiculous. They're of course welcome to disagree with the decision and express that, but they're taking it to the extreme and beyond.

The logistics of moving a football game 24 hours to the right on 12 hours notice is extreme. Vendors, security, volunteers, fans, promotions…everything has been scheduled and prepared for.

Ole Miss could have hopped on a bus and drove 8 hours and been there in time to play a Saturday game. (Possibly moved a couple hours to the right)

OU moving it to Sunday affects 10s of thousands of people. Ole Miss driving on Friday afternoon affects the 200-ish people on the team/media and maybe a few thousand fans that would have traveled.

From a logical standpoint, I side with OU on this one.

I am still a bit confused. What did OSU want...a forfeit? Cancel the game entirely? Or just delay the game a many hours and play after a a long opponent buss trip?

I’m not joking when I say Iowa State’s Aiden Flora should be getting more than just a token consideration for going to the Heisman finalist ceremony.

He had over 200 yards rushing, another 100 passing/receiving, and three TDs for Iowa State in their 41-13 win over Cincinnati. My son said his day would have been over 50 fantasy points, which would have been the second time this season he’s done that.

Straight up, he’s deserving of a trip to New York.

Well you could argue an 8 hour overnight bus ride (due to circumstances beyond the team's control) has more impact on the competitive aspect of the game, or at the very least comparable, to my original point that this isn't some grand conspiracy against Oklahoma.
