I didn't have a dog in this fight but this was one of the wildest, most entertaining football games I ever saw. The Utes came out and decked the Buckeyes but didn't knock them out. Ohio State fought from behind most of the game and finally prevailed with 10 seconds to go.
Many great performances on both teams.

[crusty old prospector]

OK State over Notre Dame was entertaining as well.

“Njigba” LOL

[JonPreston]

This is on Utah for not double teaming him after 100 yards.

[G Larry]

I’m the Utah coach is rethinking his 3rd quarter decision to go for it on 4th and 3, rather than go for the field goal.

[SuzyQue]

It was a great game!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Ohio State is the Susan Lucci of college football.

Always turn in a powerhouse regular season performance but gets ignored or beaten in the championship round.

[Bratch]

This guy was pretty good, too.

[God luvs America]

And the Buckeyes best two receivers opted out of the game. Marvin Harrison Jr also played well.

[Gahanna Bob]

Marvin Harrison, Jr. had 5 catches in the regular season and 3 TDs last night.

OSU needs a defense than can play the whole game.

And the modern opioid of the masses rolls merrily along.

Njigba"

The name sounds like a Mad magazine combination of racial slurs.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is from Rockwall TX. He won the Landry award for the top high school football player in DFW. Recent award winners include Miles Garrett, Kyler Murray and Kennedy Brooks.

Ron Meyer, former coach at SMU once said if he could just recruit the top players in DFW he would win a national title every year.

College football is a mockable, delicious mess and the post-season games (outside of the CFPs) are a debacle. But that’s what made this game so wildly entertaining. There was plenty of insanity for all tastes.

Watch out for the Big 10, folks. Alabama and Georgia are out in front of everyone, A&M is interesting, but the SEC is otherwise top-heavy and disrupted. The three other power conferences are disasters.

There are 10+ major forces working in the Big 10’s favor going forward. Maybe the SEC fixes its coaching problems, finds ways not to get run over every year by its two powerhouse teams and overcomes a few other structural problems. But don’t count on it.

I’m a buckeyes fan but didn’t watch because they had several key players not even show up. They weren’t even trying :-(

[libertylover]

Seems like the “Prevent” defense should be renamed the “Prevent Win” defense.

Old Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m told that this young guy is just completely on fire with his pass receiving. And that he can really RUN. His name? *rustles notes* Ah.... Jack... Jaxon... Jaxon Smith... N-.... jig.... WHAT IS THIS?! *sound of headset being thrown down* YOU GUYS ARE SETTING ME UP!!! ........... What....? ..... Oh. I see. *more rustling paper sounds* I’m fired anyway, aren’t I?

[StAnDeliver]

"New-jib-wa" or "Nuh-gyp-wa" depending on Chris Fowler or Kirk Herbstreit.

Here is highlight package on YT.

Was all wrong pumping up Cincy as 4th slot in Championship. Should have been OSU. They would have given Bama a game.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

There’s a Canaan Smith-Njigba that is a minor league outfield prospect with the Pirates. Assume some relationship.

OHIO PING!
