Premature esnapulation

UM/TCU game was great, so far this game is keeping pace with that one.

Love that TD by Milton. Started towards the corner then just decided to go downfield and power in despite multiple OSU players in the way. So many RBs just keep heading to the corner and seem satisfied with being pushed out at the one. I love to see power football.

I never played organized football. Most of these kids I've observed have nothing over their knees. How can you make it through a football game without knee pads?

Knee pads have occasionally been mandatory in the NFL, not sure about college. I didn’t wear them when I played as a kid but I was a RB and DE. My son was an O-lineman and he wore them.

Most players, myself included at the time, feel like they imped their movement. Also in my case I was a teenager and injury wasn’t really on my mind. You know, it wasn’t going to happen to me and all. There is probably some of that in the players in both NFL and college. Hell I see a lot of guys not wearing mouth guards which kinda of blows my mind.

Personally I still don’t think pads do much for the knees. I did wrap my knees pretty tight with ace bandages and I think that bracing helped more than pads.

Man I really want UGA to win this but OSU is playing great and I respect their game.

Why couldn’t they do this against Michigan!?

I really hope Marvin Jr. is okay. What a massive talent.

What a game!!! What a double header!

Kirby Smart calling that TO before that fake punt was the play of the game. He deserves the MVP trophy.

Unbelievable game!! I'm an SEC fan, and usually an OSU hater, but I have nothing but respect for Ohio State's game. Total respect for the Buckeyes.

Same.

Grew up in Ann Arbor in the 60's & 70's. My children both graduated from Alabama.

Never been a OSU fan, but they played their hearts out and I suspect we will see them again next year in the final 4.

It’s my fault. I’ve watched maybe 15 college games in my life, but figured I’d watch two today. Of course both teams I rooted for lost.

That poor OSU kicker. Maybe the Buffalo Bills kicker can give him a call to console him.

Gotta root for the only Texas team to make it this far in the current playoff format, go TCU !

Most all knee injuries are from side flexing. A movement that joint is not meant for. I guess they figured out pads don't help with such injuries and the extra freedom of motion is now embraced by the "skill players" Still, playing on artificial turf and skidding along on bare skin doesn't seem like a great idea.

Hell they don't even wear cups any more why worry about your knee?

Oh yeah, Roll Tide!

Fair warning, I’ll be rooting for TCU, a school I had no clue existed until a month ago, over Georgia. Only because my dad went to high school with a former TCU head coach, Jim "Duck” Wacker.

That is fine with me. I generally root for the underdog and I believe GA. is favored by 13 points.
TCU was 200 to one shot to win the championship at the beginning of the season. It is tiny school compared to Georgia.

179 total points in 2 games. Unbelievable!
