For such as young group they sure did stay composed. I wonder when the last time PS went sackless in a game at home.
Ducks clearly outplayed them tonight and deserved the win.

I’ve been very unimpressed with Franklin. Surprised he has such a long leash

In that situation probably but he did retaliate in front of a referee. Stupid move.

I am not sure that is what happened. It looked to me on the replay that the ref did not throw the flag until the Oregon player complained. I know the announcers said otherwise, but they missed it. It reminded me of a Raseed Wallace technical to me.

I don't have a fucking clue what targeting is because that is without a doubt, unquestionably, the kind of blatantly deliberate and absolutely dangerous helmet to head collision that targeting was supposed to eliminate

I thought I watched the ref confront the player after he kicked him and was reaching for the flag as they were speaking. I gathered he was stopping it from escalating first and the player was reacting because he knew the flag was coming out.
Point remains it was ticky tack at best and probably should not have been thrown and certainly should not have been 15 yards.

Yeah I was pretty shocked they let that go. I’ve seen calls on plays nowhere near as blatant.
 
These calls and what I considered some home field spots on ball and some play clock home cookin are pretty much the reason you need to win decisively on the road. That interception left no room for discussion.

I agree but was explained by someone who is full of shit that his helmet had to be pointed down more. I didn’t feel like arguing so I let them feel right

Beat them in every facet

That just tells me I got no business betting on sports. I seriously would have a hard time betting a couple hundred on a game like that.
1.8 million I would be working so hard with to make another million.

Furst rule of betting: Don’t bet what you can’t accept losing.

by the way, at halftime, when it was 3-3, I mentioned I wished I had bet the under

well. the over/under was 53.5; and the final score was 30-24. So, I was only kidding when I said that

That happens quite often. And often the opposite. I won a bet on the Eagles this year on the under. They scored shit ton in the first half and it was weather delayed. I woke up the next day to find out only a FG was scored in the second half and I won the bet.

I’m usually a $20 single bettor on draft kings but if I’m going up to the casino during college football season I roll the dice a bit more.

Amazing how many Penn State fans just stayed there and looked on in disbelief. Pretty sure they wanted to rush the field if they won.

correct...full of shit

targeting was implemented for player safety and the increasing CTE problems. There was too much latitude and vagueness to the rule that quite a few very questionable calls were being ruled targeting. So they modified the rules

but clearly, during that play the PSU player deliberately & blatantly used his helmet to batter the head of an Oregon player. It was an extremely dangerous play and I don't give a shit what the fucking rule has been narrowed to, that play should have been called targeting if the intent of the rule is to protect players
