CFP Semi #2, Sugar Bowl, Washington vs. Texas

[Phlebitis]

I hate the U of Washington!! There I said it

That’s like hating the LA Angels or something.

 

[rudedude]

These can’t be B10 officials. They called offensive holding 2 plays in a row. That’s 2 more than their per game average, especially if UM or OSU offense was involved.

Well Washington will be a Big 10 team, so they are getting in practice.

 

[BW Lion]

It really doesn’t matter which team wins the Sugar Bowl.

scUM is going to roll them

Cheating no longer has consequence.

 

[WVilleLion23]

Go Huskies!

 

[CDLionFL]

Texas fans seem to be enjoying our officials.

 

[WVilleLion23]

What a huge unforced mistake.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Washington's punt returner trying to imitate Michigan's PR. smh

 

[BW Lion]

B1G Crew

TX 5 penalties
WA 0 penalties

which team does the B1G fear most in a match up vs scUM?

That was a 7pt mistake.

 

[Catch1lion]

Stands look to be filled with extras from the Dr Pepper commercials . Face painters . Got to support the team !

 

[IrishHerb]

Another WOW

 

[CDLionFL]

Tommy Rees got in the teleport machine and made it to New Orleans just in time to call those last 2 Washington plays.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Washington goes for it on 4th & 1 at the Texas 14, and he appears to be well short.

Edit: they are

 

[psu31trap]

I take the points there, bad call by the HC.

 

[CDLionFL]

I don't mind going for it especially since it seems points are going to be plentiful but you gotta get your mobile QB outside the pocket after that 3rd down play came up snake eyes.

 

[BW Lion]

B1G Crew

TX 5 penalties
WA 0 penalties

which team does the B1G fear most in a match up vs scUM?

We’re now up to 6 penalties (36 yds) vs 0 pelaties.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Washington.

With the PAT, it's 21-14, Washington, with 1:27 left in the 1st half

 

[CDLionFL]

Fun to see what an offense can do when their WRs get open and their QB throws it to a spot for them to run to and catch it.

 

[IrishHerb]

Penix is accurate, yes. But his receivers seem to catch everything that comes close to them, that helps big time.

 

[psu31trap]

Penix is a solid QB. I think he’s going to impress at the next level.

 

[psu31trap]

Late hit. For a second I thought that was going to be a no call. Good game.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TX answers with a TD, scoring with 17 sec left in the half.

With the PAT, it's 21-21

 

[Tom McAndrew]

21-21 at the half

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

Why can't we hire a guy like the UW coach?

 

[BW Lion]

Why can't we hire a guy like the UW coach?

Dandy Sandy handcuffed PSU with a contract no alum wants to buy out.

 

[CDLionFL]

ZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Damn, Penix brought the fastball on that slant.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Washington takes the opening drive down for a TD.

With the PAT, it's 28-21, Huskies, with 10:30 left in the 3rd qtr

 

[CDLionFL]

And there's the difference between a seasoned QB like Penix and what we have with Allar. Penix saw the opening and anticipated the cut and was able to thread the safeties. Allar waits until the WR is open and by that point, it's likely too late.

But Allar won’t get six years to learn how to do that.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

And TX fumbles on their 1st drive of the 2nd half, and Washington recovers.

Washington in the red zone

 

[Tom McAndrew]

bad call on 3rd & 3 by Washington, so they settle for a FG.

31-21, Washington, with 7:44 left in the 3rd qtr

Penix has benefitted from good coaching. Allar should learn from the departure of Levis, Stevens et al.

PSU is a QB cemetery, especially with Franklin as head grave digger.

Penix has benefitted from six years of playing and being on a team that doesn’t have Indiana talent. Levis only improved by getting more playing time, he wasn’t any better at Kentucky than Clifford was at PSU. Stevens didn’t benefit at all. The QB cemetery that put all three starters in the NFL including one that every other school only wanted as a defensive back.

 

[IrishHerb]

s impressed I m of Penix, I'm eully impressed with his receivers.

In the Mich - l game, there seemed to be lots of drops. Not so with Wash.

That’s what it takes for a QB to have a good season.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Washington with a 41-yard FG makes it 34-21, Washington, with 14:51 left in the game

 

[CDLionFL]

Big Ten officials strike again. But it looked like in the scramble that Worthy for Texas got it back.

 

[CDLionFL]

Ah, well nice of ESPN to actually show the entire frickin video before going to commercial and then rushing it on the way back.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Texas fumbles, ruling is that he was down, upon video review, the call is overturned, and Washington ball at their own 24

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TX shows some life, and drives down 74 yards for a TD.

With the PAT, it's 34-28, Washington, with 7:23 left in the game.



Edit: I disagree with the caption on the video tweet. Mitchell made the catch tough by jumping too early. He was on his way down, and had to stretch to reel in the ball. There are some advantages to being 6' 4".
