OSU been holding all game!! It's amazing that they said they never get called for holding before the game started!

Ha this time yesterday, nose bleeds were $150, standing room only was around $108. They are now exactly double that.

Well tickets started going back up last night at about 7 so looks like I'll be watching from the house haha.

I am seriously thinking about going to this game. I've been watching ticket prices for the past week, and they're now 1/3 of what they were last week. It really sucks, because the main reason I'm thinking of not going is due to the weather. It's not my driving that concerns me, it's other people's, especially in the DFW area. Just kind of unfortunate that this weather had to hit at this time.

Every podcast I listen to just tries to put it in a nice way that Texas doesn't stand a chance of winning this game, and Ohio State is just athletically superior to every team left. Where was this energy 3 weeks ago?

I'm not sure how y'all felt yesterday, but I'm glad I didn't go out drinking all night on New Years, because I might not have survived yesterday's game with a hangover. Dak and Ewers comparison is stupid. Ewers has more arm talent than Dak does right now, and I mean that. Ewers moves about as well as Dak does now as well. I'm glad they picked the targeting call up. I read somewhere that the referees said that the reason they didn't call targeting was because the ball was tipped? I know it was tipped, but was unsure if that was an actual rule. Either way, they missed one on Bond, and I don't care what you say - SKATTEBO PUSHED OFF TAAFFE. Skattebo slowed down, Taaffe put hands on him but didn't grab - because if he had I don't think Skattebo would have been able to push off. Should have been offsetting penalties. Quinn made some big boy decisions and throws to win the game. I'm not sure what the issue with Quinn is. I think he has ELITE arm talent. He can get the ball out as fast or faster than any QB you will see, with minimal effort. He can throw from crazy arm angles, and he doesn't get rattled easily. I just don't understand why after working with these receivers for an entire season, he CANNOT seem to hit them in stride. Even on the TD on the first drive, the receiver had to slow down. Maybe this is what Quinn needs. Quinn was lights out against Bama both times he's played them - now he's getting to play against OSU - the school he transferred from. Who knows what kind of fire Quinn could play with, and I definitely think he has the raw talent to do something with it. That being said, amazing game. It should have never come down to what it came down to. The offense hanging the defense out to dry was ridiculous. I think ASU ran what, almost 40 more offensive plays than Texas? That's a LONG time for your defense to be on the field. Gotta clean the penalties up if we want to beat OSU. No way around it. GET HEALTHY AND HOOK 'EM!

I remember traveling to watch playoff football... Seems like a different lifetime now

I don't really think this was the case. Atlanta run countless swing passes, sweeps, reads... If they get 4-5 yards, they give it up with a false start on the next play. Just extremely poor execution tonight. As an armchair coach, I despise all the swing passes. They take way too long to develop and Winny may not be the fastest, but they recognize it very quickly.

Good luck moving forward Winny. I said it wouldn't be a close game, and it wasn't. It's a shame to watch this SR class never really tap into what they were capable of. Again we were dominated at the LOS, worse this game than any game this season. It usually took teams until the 2nd half at least to get traction and roll with it. Winny RBs got 4-5 yards down field before they were touched 99% of the time from the very first whistle.

Yeah just sad to see your QB have to pick himself up all the time, whatever the reason may be.

There's definitely a rift between our offensive line and our QB. Not sure who the root of the problem is, but it's a sad sight to see when Winny's DE is the only person that will help our QB up. Just a bad time to make a statement.

Got to adjust.

Almost made 3. He read that WR screen earlier to the T. He's definitely playing ball tonight.

What a catch by Riley! We not dead yet!

We in this thang.

Maybe I should rephrase that - we've made better appearances in the playoffs LOL.

I mean we were never supposed to win those games, or even be in them, and they were close. Last year I'm not sure how many dropped passes we had but it was pretty bad. Rightfully so, it was cold and pouring down rain, but even still - some of them just have to be caught. Either way, Atlanta has progressively gotten better each year, as they should beings this sophomore class has been the majority of the starters for the last 3 years. It's their time to finally turn the page. I'm not really sure how close this game is though. This Atlanta team doesn't really win or lose close games. It's usually one extreme or the other.

Come on now. We're not building fires, we're playing football. Stay with me here.

Hahaha I just said a change of scenery might be nice . Honestly I like getting this matchup again when I think about it. Most of the sophomores have were starting the first time we played them. They've had 2 straight seasons ending with Winny, so I'm thinking it may light a fire under them.

Idk man. A change scenery maybe haha. In all fairness, we've had opportunities to beat Winny the past 2 years. Always took them all 4 quarters. It'd be nice to make it to the 2nd round one day though...

My goodness are we really gonna get Winny 3 years in a row.

If Atlanta could just figure out how to play the close games - not get so down if they get behind, they could be dangerous. Average margin of victory: 28.7 points Average margin of defeat: 31.7 points Atlanta hasn't lost a game by less than 29 points lol. That's wild. Those teams are not THAT much better, if they're better at all. Halftime scores in the 3 loses: Atlanta 3 PG 26 (game was really closer than the score indicated) Atlanta 14 Jeffy 13 Atlanta 6 LE 14 They either win by a lot, or lose by a lot. I think if we can figure out how to come out at half and punch someone in the mouth, we can play with a lot of teams.

I've seen Atlanta upset Tatum more times than really any other team we've played. It's pretty wild. We're almost always the underdog. Usually Tatum beats the breaks off of a team, then we beat them, then we get the doors blown off by the team Tatum beat. I bet I saw it 3 or 4 times back when Pitt was on our schedule lol.

I don't read much into it.
