He was supposed to have a safety over the top. He could have challenged the route more but honestly he probably thought that ball was gonna be picked when Tua launched it. If they were supposed to be in a cover 2 the safety brainfarted... if they weren't they should have been.

Good game though.

A panel of college coaches stated that in a cover 2 coverage, the corner is supposed to slow the receive enough to allow the safety more time to get into position. From what I saw the safety faked a bite on a shorter route, then dropped back, but could not get back quick enough. Even though the corner had safety help, why would he not stay with his receiver in press coverage? He didn't drop off to double a receiver running the out, instead he gave up inside leverage, let his guy blow by him, then followed him up the field five yards behind him.

Yes ... bad calls, especially the face mask penalty. I also saw the ref was right there too! I stopped taking notes on all the bad calls and non-calls. I was getting too pissed off to enjoy the game.

Sports has become a too-big-to-fail business also. NFL-MLB-NCAA and their incestuous vulgar big bucks relationships with big media such as the networks and cable giants has taken all the fun and sporting spirit out of the games.

Refs and umpires are also scared shit-less now to take a stand and make a call. High def cameras have turned excellent plays --tough catches and good efforts by receivers-- into incomplete passes because the pinky and index fingers moved a 1000th of an inch. Silly example, I admit, but, do we really need a time out to review a play all the freaking time now?

You make good points onefast.

Yes, zico you are correct. I didn't mention that because I don't bet the over/under. I did think that the o/u number was kind off low and spoke about it on Friday with a friend.

Timing is everything ... in sports and in real life ... so, is Auburn really, really the best team in country, having beaten both Alabama and Georgia?

Seriously though, Gus Malzahn of Auburn must be kicking himself these past few weeks.

Means nothing, of course, since Alabama is the deserving National Champion. The CFP playoff games eliminated all the old 'mythical' National Champions talk that I read 1000s of times as a kid.

But I will say Auburn has a much better argument --empty as it may be-- than the idiot AD at Central Florida who claimed his UCF Knights are No. 1.
