Quote:I have yet to see a single coach, sports writer, or commentator NOT associated with Notre Dame that thinks it was a bad call. There are probably a couple out there, but they're certainly the exceptions.

 

I like FSU's chances against everyone except Alabama and maybe Mississippi State right now. While I think Mississippi State is overrated, they match up very well with FSU emphasizing a power running attack. If you're going to beat FSU, you'd better be able to cram it down their throat. Even then, Jameis can carry the team on his back a lot of weeks and it would likely come down to red zone success and turnovers. Fortunately for FSU fans those two still have to play each other and it's extremely unlikely both make it to the playoff.

 

I don't know that it was the right call. The only reason I say that is because in watching the replay the defender never even tried to get over to the receiver. He just either lost him or thought he had coverage elsewhere. The other two receivers occupied their defenders, but it technically wasn't a pick play because the defender didn't make an attempt to get through the coverage to draw the foul. But that's neither here nor there. I don't really care as I don't have a dog in the fight. I don't care for either team, and regardless of the outcome of the game, I don't see either team as being good enough to play in the championship game this year. A lot of people were saying ND was overrated and FSU would beat them easily. Well, if that was the case, what does that say about FSU that they needed a questionable call and some late game heroics to beat ND?
