We're all watching. Might as well have a thread for it. Huge roughing the kicker call against Michigan just now.

Roughing penalty was BS. When rugby-style punter starts to roll out, he is no longer protected by rule. OSU was gifted.
This is a fascinating game on so many levels both historically and currently. All I know is I seem to hate OSU more given Iowa having their way with Michigan recently.
One of the few times I'll ever say Go Blue I guess...feel dirty doing it.

Despite loss to Michigan State, I think Buckeyes are most talented team in the country. Can they be best team? Only if Michigan State let's it slip away. That's they're challenge. Whoever wants to be the best though, has to go through Iowa to get the chance and that's a great feeling.
I don't think the rules give Punter benefit of the doubt... ..I think Refs make that call every time.
Rudock looks better than he did for Iowa. He is more willing to run and hang in during pass rush and less likely to settle for throw short of chains. It helps he has really good receivers.
Yep, Michigan is hard to cheer for, but I'll easily do so over Ohio State. Nothing in particular against either team, but it seems like when Iowa happens to be really good we can take out Michigan, but Ohio State still finds a way to beat us. I think that is why the Drew Tate thrashing of Ohio State felt so good.

I don't know if anybody else noticed it, but when they showed the cut to the Clemson/USC highlight of the big bomb TD by Clemson, there's a lady (assuming to be USC fan) that is walking in the stands flipping off the Clemson WR as he glares at the home crowd.
Phantom pass interference on O$U lead to scUM TD. That was not pass interference and that ball was nowhere near being caught...
OSU defense is really overrated. They are putting little pressure on Jake, are not sound tacklers, and the PI was just plain stupid. Their DBs can't hang with Michigan's WR and TEs. They have to find a way to pressure Jake if they want to win.
Not sure how this rule is written, but it should be addressed that if he begins running then he is no longer a kicker. Treat it like roughing the passer, once the ball is gone you get 1-2 steps to light him up.
It's a problem with KCRG not the cable companies. KCRG has been out since 8:30 this morning.
I have to admit...Jake Rudock looks pretty good. Credit where credit is due...he's handled things well.
I think roughing will be called if he is still between the tackles. To me that gives a rugby style kicker a huge advantage concerning fake punts.
To me, it should be if the kicker makes two or more steps, he becomes fair game.
There's probably a question that the most talented team will not be in the playoffs but a one loss Alabama is.
With a little chaos OSU could be in the playoffs regardless of being in the CCG.
I think a one loss conference champion beats them out, and there will be a couple of them most likely.
Classless is as classless does.
