cap remains CTE's biggest fan.

Etienne is a better running back than Harris. The's success in limiting him - and being able to tee off on Jennifer Lawrence, had more to do with being up three scores. If they get up three scores on Bama, they can shut down Harris and.rush Jones hard too. I just don't see the getting that kind of separation. Of course I didn't see that against ClemSIN either.

Trojans sign Korey Foreman, 24/7's #1 high school prospect.

The Tide OL is way better than Clemson's. The success in limiting Etienne(Who is not really that much better than Harris if he is at all) was for the whole game as the Tiger OL couldn't make any holes. Easy to see that part. Yes in the end the teeing off was partly due to the score. But the building blocks for that were set in the first half.

Congrats Scotty. How is their class overall?

Clemson's complete lack of a running game allowed OSU to do things with their CBs and safeties that they will not be able to do with Bama. In the second half the Buck's defense was ignoring the rush wholesale and the DE's were teeing off on Lawrence. If the Buckeyed defense can control the LOS like they did against the Tigers without keeping their safeties up they can win this game. But they can't and they probably won't. 

Bama's defense, while better than Clemson's will have to deal with some really brilliant offensive strategy applied by them against the Tigers. The OSU offensive braintrust beat Venables at his own game. Or more to the point of not letting him play his game. Venables likes to steal signs. And he's very VERY good at it. The Buckeyes simply didn't afford him that opportunity and caught the Tigers flatfooted numerous times. The Buckeyes won't be able to apply that strategy against Saban's D. That's not to say the Buckeyes can't score on the Tide D. Frankly Bama's defense has some fleas. They aren't glaring but they are there at times. Bama will score and sadly for Buckeye fans OSU's defense won't stop them. Just how much OSU scores to answer back is really the whole ballgame here.

So the $64,000.00 question here is, "Just how hurt is Justin Fields?" That old style football hit was vicious! Now it's a penalty according to the pussies that make the rules. If Fields can take a hit then the Buckeyes have a real shot in this game. If he's wounded and it shows that's going to allow Saban do do some things on defense that will really make it hard for OSU.

Cap that hit last night was "spearing" and spearing has been outlawed for almost 50 years.

The pussies back in the 70s, like Woody and Bo, and Bear knew it was dirty and dangerous and banned it.

It was a dirty hit by the Clemson guy.

There's no place in the game for that shit.

[CaptainCargo]

Absolutely loved that hit. That wouldn't have been a penalty in the 30's, 40's,50's, 60's, 70's,80's

So there was once a place for it for over a half century.

Watched professional rugby today. Men still playing like men. Nice.

And not one rugby player leads with his head.

if they did they'd be playing wheelchair rugby.

If they were lucky.

Spearing, which was what that was, was banned, almost 50 years ago,

It was a dirty and dangerous play pure and simple.

So there was severe lasting chronic brain injuries because of it for over a half century.

Whether or not such a hit would have been penalized in the days of yore seems irrelevant to me.

[Hairy Lime]

You used to be able to clothesline defenseless receivers. Night Train Lane made a career of it. Brutal shit that is designed to injure should be outlawed. And frequently is. Like chopping at a lineman's knees.

How long has that type of hit been illegal? It is not a good football play, any more than a face mask tackle is.

[Hairy Lime]

Why would Haskins be a warning for Fields? Anymore than, say, Tanner Magnum would be a warning for Zach Wilson?

Hit from the ClemSIN kid was a crown down hit. Does not have to be defenseless. That is always illegal.

This spearing crap is so overblown. Calling that spearing is just plain wrong. That would not have been a penalty in my day. When I played that would have just been a great tackle. That's how we played, if you couldn't take it you either went and sat the bench or quit. No way in hell that play was flagged. No effing way.

Great it seems irrelevant to you. Doesn't change the fact that it wouldn't be a penalty. It was friggin football.

The world can cry me a river about it and I just don't give a @#it. Or to put it nice like you do, it's irrelevant to me.

You're a classy guy YG I've always been the first to say that. And I'm...well... I'm not.
