Auburn vs Houston starts a busy bowl day

[Bones80]

Houston up 7-0. Auburn has a big QB. Assuming we see him next fall.

Remember how Auburn seemed to talk smack on PSU even after they lost? Players seemed to think losing to PSU was an aberration....

Seems they have had 5 more aberrations during their season, and the big bad SEC team just might have another one today....

Thought Bigsby hit the portal?

 

[Nohow]

Not impressed with Auburn other than Bigsby.

Thought Bigsby hit the portal?

I don't know, but there are some players in the Portal that still have played in their (soon to be former) team's bowl games.....

Pretty sure he withdrew his name or it was only rumor.

Withdrew. True freshman. Sure NFL draftee.

 

[Bones80]

They just explained it. Was contemplating but coach convinced him to stay

Nice to see some games being played.

 

[Bones80]

Auburn goes ahead with 3:52 in the 3rd. 13-10.

 

[Bones80]

Houston in front with 3:27 left in the 4th 17-13 after a missed intentional grounding call.

 

[Nohow]

End of game 3rd and 2 with two of the best rbs in college football and a bad passing game, so Auburn passes twice, incomplete.

 

[LionJim]

Can anyone explain how Auburn turned the ball over. I looked away for a minute and it’s Houston ball and game over. Yeah, missed call on that IG.

 

[PSUJam]

Not so busy as it would be. Eff you Covid.

Incomplete pass on 4th down

Their WR dropped pass attempts on 3rd and 4th down. He should have had the 3rd down catch which would have been a 1st down.

 

[WeAre]

Glad I didn't watch. Sounds like a snoozefest.

 

[Midnighter]

Will be curious about ratings for the games - will companies want to put their name on bad games or those with lots of opt outs? Probably - if ratings are decent.

Not impressed with Auburn other than Bigsby.

had 8 starters out for opt out, injury or whatever reason. Houston, the higher ranked and favored team, played with more excitement. Auburn the non-ranked underdog played with no emotion. Houston only had one player out. the higher ranked team would seem to be loaded with all the NFL talent to opt out, but they did not skip their game.
