Game Thread: Natty on a Platter: Domers VS Bucks

[HuskerOC]

Ohio State playing at an elite level right now, and Notre Dame playing great defense to earn the matchup Monday night.

Of note, neither team won a Conference Championship in order to get to the Title Game in this newfound 12 team playoff.

Also, they had to beat 3 teams on their way to get to this game. Both have certainly earned their way.

Are the Buckeyes simply too talented and on a run that they can't be stopped? Or can the Irish defense stand up like they have all year and provide enough offensive talent of their own to get it done?

Bucks favored by 8 to 8.5 right now with the O/U at 46.5.

We were overconfident in 2006 against Florida. I feel good but I won’t be comfortable until the clock hits zero

Should be a very fun game. I‘m picking Ohio St but I don’t think it’s a certainty they win, the Irish D is very strong and could throw Will Howard off balance.

OSU fans collectively vomited at the beginning of that game when Ted ginn jr took the kickoff to the house for a TD then one dumb fuck lineman jumped on ginn to celebrate and practically broke his ankle. Bam out for the game and it was down hill from there.

I just hope it's a good, close game. If the Buckeyes play their A game, it won't be. I'm getting SB 25 vibes on this one. High powered Ohio State offense like the Buffalo Bills against a very good defense, ball control offense that Notre Dame has (like the NY Giants did).

Overconfident? Dude you got your doors blown off.

That was back when Lendale White said Ohio State sucks, and he was 100% right.

We blew out most teams on the schedule. Could not matchup against floridas pass rush. Threw everything off.

We went out to the bars the night before and everyone was predicting a Buckeyes win, even the Florida fans we talked to.

Didn’t like the outside run call on 3rd and short, I like the call to go for it. Buckeyes can’t stop Leonard‘s runs so far

 

[gohuskresurrected]

Amazing. Over 5 minutes into a huge game and ND isn't being blown out yet.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Nd looking strong.

 

[bksballer89]

What a drive

 

[Think McFly Think]

Nd looking strong.

Yeah, this is good for them, large time chunk possessions, keeping OSU offense off the field. TD!!!!!

 

[gohuskresurrected]

Well that was a one man drive.

 

[Wamu]

Damn impressive opening drive for Notre Dame.

Now Ohio State has to march down the field and tie the game up.

 

[Xeliou66]

TD Irish, Leonard runs it in!! Irish just overpowered the Buckeyes at the line of scrimmage, they couldn’t be stopped.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

18 plays. God damn.

 

[TheSnowdog]

ND marched right down the field for the TD

ND o line out muscled Ohio State that drive
