Texas game

[hubstar55]

For those not watching, ASU got totally hosed by the refs on a no call clear targeting in regulation. They are now in OT

Well ASU had there chance in first OT but allowed a 4th and 13 to turn into a TD. The blown call ( gutless by replay to not call it) might have cost ASU the game in regulation but once again leaving points on the field going for it on 4th instead of kicking the FG is costly

Well its their own fault for choosing not to play any defense in overtime

Can't argue that. Still doesn't change the fact that they may have just won in regulation if the replay booth had made the correct call for targeting. So now that Ohio State plays Texas, which I can't stand either team, it is going to be tough to root for one over the other.

If I was placing a bet on the game though I would go with OSU as I think they are the better team.

Arizona State: The Sun Devils will regret all the chances they squandered before the fourth quarter. Three times, they were stopped on fourth down in Texas territory. The Longhorns also blocked a 36-yard field goal attempt just before the end of the first half. But this was a performance that is sure to boost ASU's profile nationwide and give coach Kenny Dillingham's program a sense that it does belong among the nation's elite.

As I have stated before, take the damn points by kicking the FG. It is like these coaches haven't noticed the trend this season for taking points early in the game and instead opt for trying to get the first down. In the end if they had converted just one of those 3 into a FG they win the game in regulation.

Kinda reminds me of another bowl where the coach elected to go for it rather than take the points. Had he kicked the FG his team would have won in regulation rather than losing in overtime.
