Week 16 CFB Open Thread

Cause analytics essentially. Someone did it earlier

Huh. Interesting. To kick 2 FGs?

 

[youra6]

Now they are down a TD and have one fewer timeout

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

Horrible onside kick

52-46 with two minutes left.

Remember that TD Alabama got just before halftime, that only happened because Florida stupidly gave them 20 seconds? Kind of matters now.

Am I dumb? I don't understand why they're going for 2.

Basically Analytics say changes you win in regulation are higher if you go for 2 twice vs kicking down 14.

 

[dragurd]

here is where the dumb timeouts count

Watch Mullen still bitch about being in the playoffs with 3 losses. I'll post the quote later.

But they just lost one timeout in the process. That's like 40 extra seconds they could have had. I don't get it at all.
That was the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

[AuTX Buckeye]

[youra6]

Florida is gonna have to block this punt in order to have a chance

 

[Jake]

Wait...Why are they going for 2?

Because TPC success is typically 50%. If you fail the first time you can tie the game the second time (theoretically).

But if you succeed the first time all you need is an XP the second time to win it, not OT.

Be honest with yourself about what you've seen from our Buckeyes. The only winning teams we played are Northwestern and Indiana, and neither of them were cakewalks.

Indiana...Northwestern...Alabama.

The shit show I saw today gets beat by 30+ by Alabama. We need massive improvement in 12 days.



Both of those teams are way better than anyone we've played this season, including the Nerds we struggled with today.

Oh trust me... if you were in the game day thread I am not optimistic at all about our odds. That said I'd take my odds against a team with the worse defense which is Alabama.

I agree though we probably have a 10+ point loss starring at us either way. Mainly because I have no idea what we are doing on offense right now considering all the weapons we have.

Oddly the defense has kind of come around and IMO they could give us enough to win it.

florida should kept pushing him to go out of bounds... he woulda done it

I'm not questioning the 2 point conversion. I'm questioning why they had to use another TO to make that determination.
