Big Ten Official Says Peach Bowl Got Ohio State-Georgia Call Wrong (msn.com)

I think it is that foul in general that needs work. I have two issues:

• Consistency: I'm sure that if we relitigate that call from the Peach Bowl, Georgia fans can come up with worse hits not called and Ohio State fans can come up with milder hits that were called. Rather than proving each side's case, I think that these examples simply prove that we have an inconsistently applied rule and that is a problem.
• I think that the penalty is too extreme for all but the most egregious cases. I would be less bothered by the inconsistency if we were arguing the rather mild differences between 5yd penalty, 15yd penalty, and ejection rather than the enormous difference between ejection and 15 or no foul.

Sadly- it’s water under the bridge.   It was obvious then and now.  

Just with a personal foul- OSU gets the ball first and goal at the 3.  Between the high likelihood of them scoring a TD, or using clock and being held to a FG, that games is effectively over.

Ryan Day asking his staff to take a vote on who should be the starting QB and vote is split down the middle.

I interpret that as he has two guys that are good enough to be in this team to a successful season. He has two former five stars and they are both playing at a high-level in practice. Sometimes in sports you can’t tell until you see them in a real game situation.

some Buckeye fans are like “the sky is falling” which is funny when you think of two lower tier, big 10 quarterbacks are going to start in the SEC, maybe three. And Alabama has three quarterbacks, including a Notre Dame rejects and can’t pick a starter.

agreed...and just to nitpick, Kyle McCord was a 5* but Devin Brown wasn't quite 5* - close though- 4* and top 50 player in the nation (#43)- which is yeah, pretty good.

Ohio State has two capable QBs....and it's a tough choice. I see it as a similar situation to Michigan last year- Jeem had two good QBs in JJ/Cade and wanted to see them in live games before he made the final decision. 

Bama is in completely different territory....their QBs are garbage....which is why I'm not quite sold on Bama this year...think they could really struggle on offense. Their OL is still very good but it isn't anywhere close to where it used to be when they were just overpowering and bludgeoning people to death (like UGA/M have been as of late), they have really good RBs but they don't have any Derrick Henry's or Trent Richardson's walking through that door- and their WR room is NOWHERE near what it was in the past- which if we're being honest that WR room was OSU level good for a good 4-5 year run- and it's fallen completely off the face of the earth from where it was. I think Bama is in some REAL trouble this year. If Tommy Rees is your savior at OC and you have to go get Tyler freaking Buchner to play QB because the guys you have can't cut it- yeah....you're in some trouble man.

That’s a weird thing to put out.

Media put out many weird things though…

I mean, Ryan Day was the one who put that out.

I suppose it could be a bit of a fib to try to prevent someone from transferring this year

Yeah, I never trust this kind of stuff and I don't mean that as "from Ryan Day", I don't trust it from Fickell or Harbaugh either. Absent an injury, you'll know after the ND game.

It's a shame that this is a real concern.
