Game Thread: CFP Semifinal- Florida St vs Oregon @ Rose Bowl

Yeah, didn't see it, but that's a shame. We lost and should conduct ourselves accordingly.

Something I will say, and it won't be popular, is that I suspect the rules will be changing more significantly within five years regarding the "tempo" offense. It is a gimmick that takes advantage of current rules to put the defense at a major disadvantage. It just is.

Lol. We hear this every time a team gets beat by the uptempo. Wishful thinking.

What's the disadvantage? Our best 11 vs. your best 11. It's not like the offense is taking breaks while the defense is running sprints.

It’s NOT a gimmick. Your team has to be in shape to withstand the pressure. Kudos to the Ducks for destroying their competition. Why would you want to take that game away from anyone?

Doubt that very much!

Ducks have the best team in the land, IMO.

The only criticism I will give about it is what i saw tonight. Two DL players for FSU had to change to different numbers due to their jerseys being ripped in half. All due to the holding going on. Demarcus Walker's # is 44, but had to change to 46 in the second quarter. Niles Lawrence-Stample is 99, but was 98 in the third quarter. Way too many missed holding calls because the refs are not set before the ball is snapped. BUT that is part of the game.

Missed holding calls happen regardless of the offense run. The ref does stand over the ball until the other refs are in position.

Try playing in the same conference as the Ducks every year when trying to win your Division all the while a couple of other Division foes skip 'em!
(USC & ASU this year)

I'm sure by the time the Bruins get a chance to skip 'em too, the Duck's run will be over.

True but not even close in the amount of missed calls. The center judge is not even in position when the ball was snapped. But again that is part of today's game. It was just an observation.

Hawaii? In a bowl game? I think you meant Cincy

No Hawaii is right but they played Georgia. and I say "played" lightly

Who's, "we"? Landry Jones and you guys? LOL.

Seriously tho, there will be no rule changes.

If you honestly think that a tempo offense works simply because the offense that runs it is, "in shape" and the opposing defense is, "out of shape", then I don't know what to tell you. The offense controls the game and the personnel on the field and can dictate whether the D can substitute proper personnel for the situation, etc... There is a TON of advantage to being able to restrict defensive substitutions and being, "tired" is only one aspect of that.

Not sour grapes. We lost. Just saying that Saban's gripe about it last year was just the beginning. It is an exploit. Soon most offenses will trend that way, or the rules will change. JMO.

You hope not. Sure.

If the offense is leaving the same people on the field, whats so wrong with having the defense leaving the same people on the field? No one is asking the defense to stay out longer than the offense.

Also, if you are prepared, you can substitute within the no-huddle, since you have about 10 seconds. If players/coaches are not ready, then you will fail.

Nah, my crystal ball told me so. it's too heavy to ship, but you can view it if you ever come over to Oregon.

Oh good this discussion again.
I guess we should get rid of the forward pass, the three point basket, curveballs and knuckleballs and anything else that dares to change a game.
