There’s no amount of Ozempic that can stop Carson Beck tonight.

There may cold and snow in Ann Arbor tonight, but the tears in Columbus are bigger

                Miami 24/OSU 14.

Thank You Miami.

I don't know what that means.  I mean, I like it if it's anti-Ohio State, but what does that mean.

It’s a reference to their defensive coordinator.

I get a perverse pleasure in watching Ohio State lose. 🤣🤣

Even though OSU missed the FG at the end of the half, they moved the ball well and by around the time they scored in the 3rd quarter I thought the momentum on both sides of the ball had shifted to OSU to where I am bit surprised they didn't win the game.

Gift interception was a 10 point swing.  They were in position for a reasonable field goal.  Yes, a further FG attempt was missed later in the 2nd half, so 3 probably shouldn't be assumed.  But take that interception away and the score at halftime is probably only be a 7 point difference at max.

The offensive line was brutal in the first half.  Sayin had no time for anything.  They couldn't run outside but had more success in between the tackles.  Ironic considering they pretty much tried to run in between the tackles against Indiana (to no success) and had more success with running outside.

It really was a very good game. Notre Dame thought they should have been in the playoffs over Miami but Miami justified their selection. Props to them.

Nice job using "perverse" given how UofM's athletic department's last month has been going.

Hopefully Indiana makes it 1-7 by the end of the night

1-6.  Of course it’s going to be a blue blood like Indiana to break the curse against a ramshackle Alabama squad.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Indiana really working and dominating Alabama. I hope their Cinderella story continues.

Are they the only team that got extra rest and won their game? I thought I heard something about teams who were rested and all lost? Either way, Indiana is really good. I'm rooting for them too. Perennial losers who turned it around...

Yes, up til now the bye teams are 0-6

[Deleterious]

There is a bully beating up Alabama in Pasadena right now.

Indiana may put up 50 points. College plays by different unwritten rules, running up the score is perfectly acceptable.

Alabama and Ohio State both losing...perfect. 😅

So is M fan taking a moment to thank Oklahoma for keeping Alabama in the playoff long enough for them to have to hire Wittingham?

Alabama firing DeBour and hiring Kiffin would be the cherry on top of this hiring cycle.

You know, this Indiana team might be for real.
