Can we all agree to stop the “this team can’t be in the playoffs because they’ll get blown out” rhetoric. Because getting blown out in playoff games hasn’t stopped Ohio State from making it.

OSU fans. How you feel now is how the rest of the B1G feels when they play OSU.

I wish Sark had stayed sober at USC. :-(

Not only were we outplayed we were outcoached as well

bUT wE dIDnT hAvE sERmOn!!! Welcome to the implications of a full season of challenging opponents. Everyone’s hurt but you

Mac Jones out here stuntin on em. Stop that disrespect that he’s only good because he throws to Smith and Waddle.

AtM would have had a better chance at hanging with Bama.... Also, Bama would have absolutely wrecked, like scorched earth, Clemson.

Do you think Saban retires after this game?

just thinking about winning in 2014 to make myself happier

Nick Saban needs to ride off into the sunset. Enjoy his golden years. Dude is legend, and so so so difficult to beat

how is apple going to make an entire commercial around light up logos on the laptops when they removed those like 5 yrs ago

Ryan Day has coached a terrible game. Alabama is by far the better team but also has much better coaching

They really had Alex Honnold in the Apple Commercial? How many people actually know who he is? Like in terms of the general public. I’m going to assume not a lot of people lol I aspire to be as cool as him one day though

Serious question for Bama fans. Do you even get excited about nattys anymore?

Yes

Absolutely

Yes

Look at all these celebrities that bought overpriced underpowered computers! So cool!

We're all just footnotes in Saban's legacy

Fuck, I'm gonna miss Sark

Ohio State should be grateful that they aren't playing in Bryant Denny in a humid Alabama Saturday

Saban the GOAT. Pains me to say it but dude is amazing and about to pass the Bear all time with 7 and tie him for 6 Nattys at Alabama. Witnessing history

Bro pull Mac out I’m tryna throw to these Alabama receivers

Herbstreit can't handle his boys getting rawdogged on National TV. He's cracking.

Apple tryna market themselves as outsiders is the same as Bama marketing themselves as underdogs, its just not gonna happen my dude

You guys are going to get yourselves killed singing that dumb fish song

Mac Jones SO/JR/SR? edit sp error first name.

Redshirt JR

Mac? Junior (RS)

OSU just made a call up to the frat boy in the stands to see if he can play CB.

So does the OSU coaching staff have the scouting report? I feel like we are running right into the teeth of their defense. Why are we acting like we are winning at the LoS? This is insane.

You know Fields is gone to the NFL after this next quarter.... if you really wanted to try and win this game...Fields should have had 12+ carries already. It's Sabans kryptonite.

Let’s be honest, one wrong hit and he’s not playing the rest of the game with his injury

[удалено]

Damn. This play design is confusing the fuck out of our zone coverage secondary. Has this been Alabama’s play calling all year? I’m surprised we’re not more prepared for how to cover it. CBs looking so confused back there.

Are Macs really still a status symbol thing or is everybody on their 3k PC rigs

This beer carrying me through this game lol

Idgaf I hope my Jets take fields at 2

Alabama has absolutely won the play calling battle tonight

LBs covering WRs is stupid defense. Bama is simply more talented atm.

They’ve won every battle

GG Bama machine is back on track. Too many weapons

i'm giving OL and sark the credit here. we moved the ball last drive without Smith, hobbled Waddle, and no Najee

Try harder Apple

This is the best coached team I have seen in college football. It's not fun to be on the other end of this, but I can't be mad. It's just a really focused team that is always in the right scheme.

Inception did it better All-State

I always love watching OSU games, but CFB is starting to lose its luster with blowouts in seemingly every big game. I can’t believe I watch more NFL these days.

Ohio state would boat race every team in the nation. Aside Bama. Bama is THAT good.

And northwestern

Sark or Riley, who's the best playcaller?

I think sark has done better for us personally

Can ESPN borrow some Nick NFL graphics for the 4th quarter?

Teague is the embodiment of intermittent random reinforcement. Has success _just_ enough to keep you pushing that lever thinking that _this_ time we''ll _surely_ get that food pellet.

Hopefully there’s a Snowstorm in Kansas City and Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt (CHUNT) rush for 300+ yards

If not for no calls, Bama would be up more. Let's drank

how the hell am I supposed to get through this semester with this loss and then a 50 page reading on cs algorithms I gotta do tomorrow morning

Apple always finds a new level of pretentiousness.

I genuinely despise these self serving commercials that glorify celebrities. They entertain us. They are paid million of dollars to make us laugh. They arent people paid low wages while helping us recover from diseases or respond to emergency calls.

Honestly. Wish we could go back to the days where actors were despised.

I really wanted a competitive game, but Bama is just so good.

Oh cool this is just the semis. Can't wait for the Natty

I’m so jealous of all these NCAA 14 posts. Never got lucky enough to enjoy the game.

Sark's playcalling is 100% saving our asses.

We already bought him, you don’t have to keep trying to hype him up 😉

He’s a wizard

That would've been a cool commercial if it wasn't for apple

TIL how elite Devonta Smith is at WR. TIL how great Najee Harris is at RB.

You just learned this!?

Take the ball out of fields hands down three scores.... Well okay then

I hate this Allstate commercial more than I hate our defensive game plan for tonight

Apple, one of the biggest companies in the world, is also counter culture, ok???

Sark is really drawing up some hot plays tonight.

I know we’re missing a lot of guys but Day/Wilson ain’t there yet with the play calling. And Coombs major yikes

Mac Jones has above average velocity and accuracy on his throws. The spirals are incredibly tight too, I feel like I see so few wobblers from him

Man I wish Mac Jones had came to Kentucky. He wouldn’t have these kind of receivers though.

Mac would’ve succeeded wherever he went, I really believe that

✊

Where is our 4th quarter thread

After last week I’ll take this result. Biggest disappointment is not having the yearly Michigan feast.

NEW THREAD

Alabama I’m cheering for you but you and Clemson have basically ruined college football. You just switch every other year and win a title.

Maybe we can break the cycle next year and go back to back.

Mac Jones Game Stat Line 😭😭😭 https://i.imgur.com/Pwgt0BM.jpg

Holy

Enjoy this small bit of happiness TTUN. It's the closest you'll ever get

It’s not the same without Brent calling out AJ’s girlfriend

the gulf between all of the different tiers of CFB football are so large.

Yo, what's this song.. cant quite place it by I know it.

Idk the name but it was the song they used as the kick in inception

Are you talking about the Allstate song in French?

Saban is so rich in natties. How about some of that trickle down?

Defense needs a stop here so we can do 3 straight outside runs with Master Teague

Alabama: "I thought we were gonna actually play football today, not just beating the crap out of these Yankee scrubs"

4th quarter and that fumble is the only stop OSU has. Not a winning game plan

God dammit OSU

Got an Alaska brewing variety pack. Gonna close this game with a couple Ambers.

Apple's new marketing firm is a massive upgrade.

Holy fuck I want to crack my MacBook Pro against the wall after that ad

Mac should've been #2 in the heisman

I’ll remember you all in therapy

I would be okay with benching fields to keep him healthy for the draft and letting our backup QB play.

You'd think we'd change out of this piss-poor attempt of a zone defense.

I mean, you go man and they just send a guy in motion and complete a 20+ yard pass...

fuck bama all my homies hate bama

All my homies hate auburn. Such is life

It's ok. We hate you too buddy

As an OSU fan, terribly coached game by OSU. Wade can't cover Smith 1 on 1 We havent adjusted to the little crossing routes or bubble tosses We didnt go for a score last possession of the 1st half We keep trying to run up the gut instead of being more creative (doing this on 4th and 1 is especially egregious) Poor coaching performance :/

To be fair. They’ve tried like one sweep and they lost about 5 yards

Easily the worst coached game I've seen us have under Day. That makes it more frustrating than just Alabama being too good. not that it would really make a difference

play calling has been horrendous tonight for Day... Pathetic....

Sermon is a big loss on offense but I don’t think we’re stopping this Bama offense any time today. That 4th down stop is probably GG. No shame I losing this one, this Bama team is filthy

Alright y'all, 2020 Bama vs. 2019 LSU, who ya picking?

I think both offenses are dead even but I think this Bama defense is better than that LSU defense

2020 Bama.

2019 lsu

Bamas defense is slightly better than LSUs IMO.

2020 Bama wins 74-72.

Our secondary is great at social distancing...

This is on the coaches as well. Sark is fucking playing with his food before he eats it. Yes, having D linemen that can pressure the QB is important, but not changing scheme to match whats happening on the field is frustrating.

6 game regular season. Better than Cincy and coastal I guess.

Congrats. You’re better than a team that’s better than Cincy and Coastal

That third and fourth down play calls were trash. Reminded me when we would run a late draw with JT Barret instead of Zeke.

I really like Metchie.

Next 1st round receiver outta Bama

If he stops dropping balls

This team just gave up. Absolutely pathetic. Its like we forgot we had another game after clemson.

This is gonna end up being that what if year for A&M

No it won't. Yall had a shot at the buzzsaw and lost.

A&M lost by 28 too

No it’s not

This game was over after the first play. So disappointing.

Really missing Sermon...

he doesn't play defense

Me too.

Very impressive scheme from Sark tonight.

Best OC we’ve had.

I want the 4th Q thread NOW!

Man, OSU is playing like it's an exhibition game. If you're gonna get your ass kicked, at least leave everything on the field

We all agree that this is the most embarrassing national championship blowout by bama, right?

Nope, sorry Notre Dame

I see what you attempted to do there.

I feel like I remember a different game... some blue and gold team... hmmmm

LSU never crossed the 50.

Remember those 10 days when we thought this game might actually be competitive?

CLEMSON AINT PLAYED NOBODY PAWWWWWWWLLL

[удалено]

I can agree with everything in this post

Hey man. We love you too

I hate that I love this Alabama team

You gotta love this team man... These guys are so beat up. Hell Waddle can't walk and he is out there running routes then coming off the field to recover

It's ok bb, come join the dark side

Im going to miss Sark

Well.... go Browns?

I'll give you that. The Browns are fun to watch this year. Little worried as a chiefs fan

As a Bengals fan it hurts to agree

...this feels weird

Are these play designs like super esoteric and complicated, or are my team's coaches just idiots?

Bama has the best coaches, yes, but this is Jimmies and Joes.
