I think that's coming regardless of the final score

Ridder is playing awful.

Surprised Bama didn't call a TO to prevent a hail mary attempt here.

[*Awful Llama*]

Time for some major journalistic jargon halftime adjustments.

Yeah, I agree. I’m not a UC or Bama fan, but with UC’s resume I think they deserved a shot. There is just a pretty clear athlete advantage in the trenches for Bama. A Bama blow out is what I expected, but that doesn’t mean that Cincinnati shouldn’t have had a chance.

I'm also not a UC fan, but was happy they made it this far. I just hope future considerations for G5 schools aren't ignored if this game gets ugly.

Hoping they have some good adjustments and get back in it.

Alabama has TE's the size of Cincinnati's Defensive Tackles.

The semifinals are almost always lopsided regardless of teams.

2020 Semifinals: 31-14 and 49-28
2019 Semifinals: 63-28 and 29-23
2018 Semifinals: 45-34 and 30-3
2017 Semifinals: 54-48 and 24-6
2016 Semifinals: 24-7 and 31-0
2015 Semifinals: 37-17 and 38-0
2014 Semifinals: 59-20 and 42-35

That is only 3 out of 14 that have been 2 score (16pt) games or less.

Honestly surprised they didn't go for it. FGs are not going to cut it.

Couldn't come away with 0 points.

[Browns Town Bengal]

Running game is unstoppable

[Browns Town Bengal]

Nice stop by the D though

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

That is why using your only WR as a returner is dangerous.

[Browns Town Bengal]

17-6 isnt as bas as I was expecting...but lets get some points here

Either way your down 2 scores and it was only 4th and 5. Sorry but you gotta go for it there.

[Browns Town Bengal]

These 3 and outs are no bueno

[Browns Town Bengal]

Get that stop here

[sloSTI]

Feel like bama could put backups out there, and UC would still struggle on offense

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

HUGE!
