What a smart, patient, under control 79 yd punt return by Downs!  Ball came down quite a bit short of him, and was bouncing.  He was only going to touch it if it took a nice easy hop, which it did and made a masterful controlled runback.

And no one made any unnecessary blocks that MIGHT get called 

The ref that is spotting each play….needs fired 

How many times can they obviously short change OSU a yard?

IU is looking at dropping from the playoff picture if they don’t slow down this trend. They are fortunate it’s only 28-7

I've been upset at poor ball spotting for 60 years  My dad pointed it out to me then watching Browns games on Sundays, how the refs nearly always added a half yard to the team they favored and took a half yard away from the other team.  Then it didn't have anything to do with getting it on the even yard line.  I think now a big part is to have the line to gain for a 1st down on an even yard line for replay purposes if it ends up close for the next first down.  But after that, spot it where it should be.

Sports are games of inches…I expect the spots to be within inches on most every play

Yes, I have been rooting for a team from an I-state to make the 12 team play-off, and Indiana is my #1 candidate!

You may have to switch to Boise St

Ole Miss in a fight they cannot afford to lose

3 plays decided that game. I thought Indiana was up for it defensively but not offensively. The “flase start” was a huge momentum swing. Indiana punt unit was ass. 

Overall, OSU is better, but I think Indiana shows on D that they could hang.

How far do they drop?

I think they drop to #12 and then rooting for Miami to beat SMU in ACC Championship and maybe Clemson beating South Carolina ….and probably another thing or two

Uh oh Alabama

Alabama just got monumentally screwed….that ref has to be reprimanded. Just making up shit that doesn’t matter.

Bama was likely going to lose but that cannot hapoen

Why isn’t more of this stuff reviewable. 

Theres a group of officials and/or referees tucked away somewhere watching this stuff and can help to make the right call. But instead, it’s not reviewable…

Producer: it’s a movie about Santa Claus being kidnapped and you, who are head of security at the North Pole, have to track across the globe to find him. 

The Rock: I’m in.

It’s crazy

As will the last couple teams in be…

A&M going to OT to save their chances at the playoffs

Auburn just got hosed on an awful call in OT

Refs keep making gigantic calls of things that simply don’t happen

Bad day in the SEC

Auburn robbed of a TD in their 2nd OT possession on 2 plays in a row!
