I don’t like it.
You don't like replay? Or that call? It was clear.

Actually, BS targeting there.  The hit to UM's hip altered the trajectory of his head, which caused the Army guy's helmet to hit the UM's helmet a split-second later.  The Army guy wasn't even looking directly at the UM guy.



If that's a genuine, correctly-called penalty, then this isn't football anymore.  I don't like making dramatic statements like that, but honestly....the defender was mid-tackle motion when the ball-carrier's whole body trajectory changed.

OSU is just a machine. Lose a legendary coach? Get another one. Lose another one? Get another one. I think Day is all that.
They're no doubt the cream of the crop in conference. But it would be hard  to mess up the roster that was handed down. Perhaps 50% of coaches could "coast" at this level of success we're seeing so far. We probably won't know who Day is even by the end of the season let alone already.

Gotta protect the head. The Army player led with his. Can't do that anymore.

It's game 2, buddy.
Tommy Bowden began his career at Auburn going 20-0.  
They're playing Cincinnati.

Tough to argue that. It’s been a remarkable run.

The call. I changed channel so I can’t rewind but how the hell is the defender supposed to avoid that?

Damn. I wanted an arc keeper on 3rd. Dylan shouldn't have handed off

You can "lead with your head" while intending initiating contact with your shoulder, which is what I believe he was doing.  I believe this because he wasn't even facing the ball-carrier...he knew he was basically cleaning up the play as the secondary hit.

Army has to score before the bell if they want to win. I don't think they can do it in OT.

UM can't get 2 yards on Army in 2 plays....they're earning this outcome (both teams, in different ways).

He can't.  Plain and simple.

Day was 3-0 last year when Urbs was suspended.
