I'd be interested in knowing how college FG kickers do from outside the hash vs inside. Seems like anything outside the hash is an automatic miss if it's from 35+

Yup. Consistently inconsistent. Went from letting em play to back to back to Ticky tack. Like they can’t help themselves.
I thought LSU got robbed of an INT with a bogus PI. On the OPI it could go either way - both grabbing. The phantom DPI to me was garbage. Still mostly good officiating IMO but a shame that Clemson's entire offense now is penalties. Makes me sick to see both sides demanding flags on every play.
Honestly though, the spots in this game have been pretty bad. Seen maybe 4 bad spots and they all favored LSU.
This is going to be a 4.5 hour game. Totally absurd and unnecessary. But hey, at least we got to see 60 minutes of football and 3.5 hours of commercials, which is why any of us tunes in anyway
Don't forget that not only are you being held hostage to watch commercials, you also have to subscribe to a content provider (and upgrade on some) to pay for the privilege of watching their commercials.
My wife can't even stand the 2-3x 90 second interruptions you get with basic Hulu; wants to pay more to upgrade. That is the new reality.
Meanwhile, as you point out, the 60 minutes of content we care about is being held hostage in between 210 minutes of AT&T ads. How much longer can that system work?
Well, LSU wins by 17 and could have hung almost 50 if they didn't take a knee.
I also think this game showed that Clemson is - notwithstanding their weak SOS - elite and surely either the 2nd or 3rd best team in the country. Brent Venables is the best coordinator in America.
LSU has to be in the conversation for the best team in the last decade or more.

I would be more ok if it was on ABC and free, but this is the raw dog w/o reach around treatment with ESPN.
Wish Fox would just nut up and outbid them and move the needle, even if its just more of the same.
Pretty sure Fox Sports and ESPN are both owned by Disney. Don’t see them fighting each other too hard.
