OT: 2023 NCAA Football Thread

YES!

Good riddance Bama.

So happy . Hate Alabama .

Suck it Alabama. Shouldn't have been there in the first place. QB sneak straight into the line in that situation was moronic.

Poor Stauffer... First Oilers Twitter trolls him and then his beloved Alabama botches a key snap to blow the game in OT.

Edit: The low snap wasn't as problematic as it appeared live. Michigan just formed an impenetrable wall.

Bob Stauffer is crying right now

go Blue! good job Michigan

Washington's coaches made that finish more difficult than it needed to be by calling run plays instead of kneeling. In an attempt to run off a few extra seconds they gave Texas almost a minute to drive down the field and win the game.

That was an interesting couple of games. Hope the championship is that exciting.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Washington tries to give one away and hang on. Their QB is fire. Pretty much a dream season for this team. One final hill to climb. Should be a real good Championship game. Not sure Penix can be stopped.

I think it was more the injury to Johnson that gave them the extra time. Clock would have been down to less than 20 seconds if he hadn’t gotten hurt. But a very exciting game, looking forward to next week.

My point was the injury doesn't happen (and the clock doesn't stop after 3rd down) if they just kneel the ball 3 times and punt.

Ah, gotcha, makes sense. I was surprised they didn't just kneel as well, always the chance of fumbling by running it.

After all the political shenanigans with the playoff committee back in December, this outcome is absolutely perfect. Not a single SECond-rate "contender" left and the championship game features two undefeated teams who actually deserve to be there.

What a crazy ending for sure. I said to my wife (who is a UW Alum), it's game over, there isn't enough time left, 100% sure UW is winning, there's no way they can screw this up... sheesh!
