Ohio St. is clearly the superior team. It's pretty hard to to be minus 4 in the turnover differential and still be winning.

[Turk Nowitzki]

How do you not just go for it there?

[Turk Nowitzki]

Ohio St. is absurdly good.

It feels like someone would draft Cardale Jones in the 1st round if he went pro after this.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

It took them 55 minutes to score 20 points and need 15 in 4. No problem pinning them at the 20 and making them work for it.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

Makes me feel a little better about the Badgers season.

[Turk Nowitzki]

So to recap: Ohio St. turned it over 4 times, Oregon turned it over zero times and OSU still won by 22. Wow

Technically Oregon turned it over once.

Any chance jones goes pro? It would be tough for him to win the starting job from Barrett.

It would be hilarious if he did. Start as 3rd string, spend the entire season as the backup, start the last 3 games as a redshirt sophomore and go pro. Has anyone ever done anything like that?

The guy has ideal size, a cannon for an arm, enough agility to scramble from pressure, and in limited starts, has shown incredible poise given what he was thrust into.

I'd love to see him declare for the draft simply to see how scouts handled trying to evaluate someone who has only played in three games, even if they were three fabulous games. Hell, just on the eye test alone of this game, Jones looks like a better pro prospect than Moriatta.

It would be the closest thing to an international player or someone like Jennings in the NBA for the NFL draft.

I agree with all of that. I meant "hilarious" in that it would send the scouts and draftniks into a tizzy figuring out how to evaluate this player off such a limited sample. Don't know if that was clear in my post. I would enjoy seeing that.

I could see Jones being Daunte Culpepper for a ceiling.

Love that the B1G is the only conference to ever win the college football playoff. **** off SEC!

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jones declared. The combination of OSU being overloaded with QBs next year, having an amazing 3 game run, and not having any interest in playing school... I think I would be more surprised if he didn't declare.

[PkrsBcksGphsMqt]

If Jones falls to the 4th or later, TT should go after him.

[zmanishere11]

Surprised car dale went back. After the combine would have been the 3rd qb easy and a late 1st rounder at worst.

I'd bet he goes number 1 in 2016 if he plays a full year for osu. Have to imagine he got some promises to go back

Good to see you can cover up child rape and all you have to do is pay a fine, get a bowl ban and lose scholarships for a couple years then you can go on like nothing happened.

[Profound23]

I can't believe they are putting the Paterno statue back up.

Even considering it is pathetic, that thing should have been smashed.

I actually think restoring the wins/putting up the statue of Paterno is stupid (because he was involved) but you do know that everyone else is in jail or was fired/punished, right?

They could have had a 0 game bowl ban for all I care because, you know, I prefer criminals to be fired or put in jail, not have bowl bans.
