Oklahoma-Georgia Rose Bowl Thread

This game could set Rose Bowl records. That would be fantastic - two non B1G/PAC teams owning the Rose!
 
I like how the Puppies defense keeps yapping when they actually get a stop. But guess what, boys? You still gave up points on that drive. If not for #9 dropping two balls, it would be 28-14.

Both defenses are talking too much given what the offenses ae doing...but, I agree
 
I must say Baker Mayfield is a solid QB. Not sure if his skills and physical attributes translate well in the NFL. Reminds me of Johnny Manziel.
 
Just for the record, I hate to see these interlopers from non P12/B10 in the RB.
I like it.

Both OK and GA are undefeated in the Rose.

Alabama has a great Rose Bowl record at 4-1-1. Much better than most of those BIG/PAC interlopers.
 
This game might be over for Georgia already. They can't keep up with Oklahoma's offense. The pressure is on Georgia's defense and their freshman quarterback Fromm.

SEC getting exposed again. Looking like the SEC is still Bama and the rest....but let's keep giving them all the hype.
 
GA is continually getting burned by the screen passes (inside and outside) because they’re blitzing too many too often.

I’d show blitz and then drop.
 
Another TD by OU. Kirby better come up with something smart at the half to keep up.

May not matter with OU getting the ball to start the 2nd half. If they score a TD on that drive, you might as well turn out the lights.
 
Apparently the SEC should have been left out of the playoffs instead of having two teams in.

Less commercials then last year, better turf, better weather, and the SEC is overrated.
 
Is anyone watching the coaches watching the game on ESPN news?. Really interesting
 
Im surprised how slow Georgia looks on defense.

Lincoln Riley has designed a great offense. OL is stout; both sacks fall on Mayfield holding the ball too long. The way his plays are designed, his players always seem to be catching the ball with opportunity for RAC yards. The reverse pass to Mayfield was a great call, with a True freshman WR involved no less.

I didn’t know it was on until you mentioned it. Almost unwatchable...Gary Patterson (TCU) loves himself and likes to talk over overone else. The coaches seem more interested in the pizza, especially Bielema.

They talk without really developing answers. I’m not particularly impressed with their individual intellects.


Quiet Major Applewhite says “Georgia is 11th in the country in running the ball, but they’re passing more than they’re throwing”.
 
Might as well get the ball rolling on this one. I think Vegas favoring Georgia in this one has more to do with their confidence in UGA's D than anything else. I got the Sooners.

One of the things that adds to the Rose Bowl's pageantry is its uniqueness; specifically, the bands get to play between plays. That means no piped in music! After all, we can hear that $hit anytime. It's only an Apple IPod playlist away. Note to Sandy. I know this cuts against the grain of your empire-building efforts but fire the 'Assistant AD of Piped In Music'. Allow the Blue Band to play on. It's another reason why we come...

I thank you and have a blessed New Year.

Should Dr. Pepper still be airing commercials that include an imposter /likeness of “Prince”?

Seems distasteful to me.
 
If ESPN thinks the Sugar Bowl is gonna kick off at 8:45, I got a bridge to sell them.
No way in hell....the second half viewership will be way down and they won't be able to figure out why.
