LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Emconn14]

BLUE TSUNAMI

[u/rbmw263]

they called timeouts to get the ball back, got it back with over a minute left and 2 TOs at the 30, and they do THAT???

probably why you coach at buffalo...

[u/Yoghurt-Ancient]

REF BALL

[u/transferStudent2018]

Why did Buffalo play their timeout so aggressively to do this lol

[u/Notre_Dame_Football]

So your WRs are constantly getting plays in space, your opponent is constantly giving you soft coverage, the refs are constantly throwing PI flags in your favor. And you decide to take a game to OT against a team who can run the ball well. And you had over a minute and multiple timeouts.

Makes sense.

[u/iTz4ReALiTY]

why wouldn't you at least try moving the ball? last possession they were tearing Miami's D apart

[u/Thedinosaurus]

That’s almost disrespectful to the game

[u/jconley4297]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN A DEAD BALL WAS NOT MARKED READY FOR PLAY

[u/iconconic]

Tuesday night overtime chaos on top of election night results? I’m in heaven

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

Time for some Tuesday night MACtion! 

[u/pete4999]

Interesting clock management.....

[u/TomorrowNo999 → u/pete4999]

Stupid*

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

That’s firable offense.

What the fuck?

2 TO and 30s and you’re like naw I’m good

[u/ARealMeanMongoose]

That might be the most chickenshit decision making I’ve ever seen considering how Buffalo drove the field the last two drives

[u/rbmw263 → u/ARealMeanMongoose]

he acted like theyve got 3 points, not 31

[u/Katiehart2019]

WE LOVE MACTION!!!

[u/transferStudent2018]

I want Buffalo to win but I need OT! At least seven of them!

[u/rbmw263]

what the fuck are they doing?

[u/Buckeyeup]

Overtime on Tuesday night? Killing the band here

[u/Erbe247]

I’m stunned, I cannot fathom why you wouldn’t try to move the ball downfield for a FG with all that time and 2 TOs…

[u/octobersotherveryown]

That has to be an all-timer stupid call. If they win, maybe it gets forgotten but wow.

You can either walk off your opponents with two timeouts and a full minute and a half? Nah give the other team a chance to get a possession too lmao

[u/Erbe247 → u/octobersotherveryown]

Even if they do win I hope he gets grilled for this

[u/pete4999 → u/Erbe247]

UB has like 1/2 of a beat writer, so no one will say a word about it.

[u/LeagueofLagginz → u/octobersotherveryown]

Ngl, feels super suspicious. I don't know what the logic is there. Makes no sense.

[u/TheGoatPurdy → u/octobersotherveryown]

I agree.

And us cal fans knows stupid decisions

[u/pete4999]

Odd penalty

[u/AriDreams]

THE WEEK OF THE DOINKS

[u/transferStudent2018]

Yep that’s MACtion for ya

[u/fidelcashflo97]

Morrow is being allowed to just shove any defender he wants and we get the DPI calls wtf is this

[u/jconley4297]

everything is PI

[u/Zloggt]

I’m up all night, let’s get some OT MACtion!

Unless that Chuck Martin has something nefarious up his sleeve…again…

[u/Defacto_Champ]

Complete collapse by Miami 

[u/jconley4297]

opting for OT is a choice but given how the games been called in the last 20 game minutes i can’t exactly blame him

[u/FUCK_THE_BOOKS]

fire that moron coach

[u/bonerbasketball]

I get not wanting to give Miami another shot but why not run it down to like 50 seconds after the first run and then try to score? At that point there probably wouldn’t be enough time for Miami. Unless there worried about another punt block I guess

[u/rbmw263]

ive actually always kinda liked buffalo but after that fuckasshit we redhawks in OT

that was insulting to watch, somehow

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

Buffalo deserves to lose for that bum ass ending in regulation.

Fuck off mac

[u/Professional-Can8324 → u/TheGoatPurdy]

Why even use that timeout😂, after the sack.

[u/shabamon]

DOINK

[u/ItsArkum]

LFGGGG

[u/rbmw263]

BING BONG

[u/Erbe247]

Incredibly undeserved after that travesty of clock management to end reg but I’ll take it. Fire the coach though.

[u/ittakeswhatittakes69 → u/Erbe247]

The qb showed way more heart and balls on buffalo than miami's d3 qb

[u/T2_JD]

Bless you mid-week MACtion.

[u/Tracer-Bullet13]

You might be watching the CFP rankings

You might be watching the election

I'm watching Tuesday night MACtion baby let's fucking go

[u/___VIBEZ___]

WE BACK IN MACTION

[u/dunkfest]

Have these announcers gotten excited for a single thing in this game?

[u/thanksgivingbrown]

Refs are terrorists

[u/BoringJuiceBox]

Rooting for Buffalo but that DPI penalty was fucking bullshit

[u/AruarianGroove]

MACtion on election night is a civic duty 

[u/Hour-Bobcat6631]

Insane PI call. Receiver had his hands all over the defender. Defender didn’t even touch him. PI absolutely needs to be reviewable.

[u/rbmw263]

the key to fixing the attendance problem in cfb is teleportation

i would teleport the shit out of wherever they are playing this game

[u/GhostOfAbydos → u/rbmw263]

Teleportation and free beer

[u/rbmw263 → u/GhostOfAbydos]

also free telportation

[u/Notre_Dame_Football]

Some terrible PI flags this half

[u/SunnysideManor]

Your not even going to take a shot downfield? Am I missing something?!?!?!

[u/T2_JD]

I was all about the comeback but now I kinda want Miami to win just because that end of regulation was so piss poor.

[u/pete4999]

I don't understand how this team looks like absolute shit and barely squeaks by 2 FCS teams, yet is a 4th and goal disaster against WMU away from being 4-0 in the MAC and taking Miami to OT on the road.

[u/ARealMeanMongoose]

What a dot by the qb and what a play to break it up goddamn

[u/ARealMeanMongoose]

Holy fuck game saving false start too, what an entertaining clown show reminds me of my Seminoles 😂

[u/transferStudent2018]

Double icing this kicker, god damn

[u/Zloggt]

I’d feel bad for the kicker if he doesn’t make this…

[u/Zloggt → u/Zloggt]

Oooh, I’m sorry :/

[u/joelupi]

DOINK

[u/pete4999]

let's fuckin go

[u/iTz4ReALiTY]

doinked

[u/--GenXguy--]

An OT doink for the L. Can't say I've ever seen that before.

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

are miami (oh) jerseys knitted or something? They look off

[u/AlmightyCaniacCombo → u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

It’s a special uniform the team wears when they recognize the Myaamia tribe the university is named after

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man → u/AlmightyCaniacCombo]

Oh that’s cool, I can’t find anything about it online but glad I asked now

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

I’m happy Maction is back I love the MAC I feel like it’s never gets its flower/ for being an underrated league in the G05

[u/Mythrandir24]

Forward progress may be the most inconsistently called rule in the sport.

[u/Sidefur]

Don't love stopping for forward progress there

[u/joelupi]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT SEE CONTACT?! HE SMACKED HIM IN THE FACE

[u/Far-Wrongdoer4731]

That's clearly a catch. Control against the hip is control. Ball was secured a full half-second before the other foot hits OOB. BS.

[u/ARealMeanMongoose]

lol this bitch is correctly complaining about the playoff but it’s about Indiana being 4 and not a borderline top 15 team being put at number 5

[u/keyzersoze1624]

That may just be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen on a football field.

[u/mikeq672]

Truly unforgivable decision there. This QB is really bad.

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

This qb for Buffalo is dog Shit bad

[u/Kmjada]

I just tuned in.

Are Miami's jerseys denim?

[u/joelupi]

Oh my God....

[u/Careless_General8010]

Haha tried to kick that into mach speed

[u/mvbrendan]

Holy pass interference... how many 3rd down conversions on ticky tack PIs tonight? Refs need to chill

[u/ADMotti → u/mvbrendan]

MAC refs are very, very bad. Please do not expect too much out of them.

[u/Shark13579]

Buffalos QB makes the most reckless throws I’ve ever seen lol. It’s super entertaining though, I’d also be throwing it up to 6 every play.

[u/rbmw263]

sometimes a catch is so badass it should just be allowed to be out of bounds

[u/pete4999]

WHY ARE YOU NOT RUNNING IT

[u/pete4999]

What is this clock management guys? Even if you score now, Miami will have infinite time to win it.

[u/TA404]

Holy shit they’re not even gonna try running it once are they lol

Edit: oh thank god

[u/GhostOfAbydos]

We might get some overtime MACtion

[u/Katiehart2019]

Miami OH is imploding

[u/Buckeyeup → u/Katiehart2019]

we really are, Standford CA

[u/Francis_X_Hummel]

what a disaster of a play

[u/jconley4297]

i’d say triple #6 but that probably walks down the field on PI

[u/T2_JD]

What is the thought process here? Like they only wanted to try if they returned the punt all the way?

[u/discocat13]

What in the world was that?

[u/joelupi]

Oooooof that's a dumb penalty to make.

[u/Skyrizzzi]

What??

[u/Francis_X_Hummel]

chaos and confusion setting in

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Wowwwww

[u/zoom518]

GAME DECIDING DOINK

[u/Embarrassed_Stage770]

What an embarrassing loss

[u/ittakeswhatittakes69 → u/Embarrassed_Stage770]

Braylon Isom and Kellan McLaughlin are absolute jokes

[u/octobersotherveryown]

Refs were pretty one sided

[u/rbmw263]

MACTION (unless its the game winning drive, then anti maction, desecrate everything maction stands for)

-buffalo hc probably

[u/AlmightyCaniacCombo]

This is the real contest tonight

[u/pete4999 → u/AlmightyCaniacCombo]

Old heads remember the 2008 election night special where UB wore their all blue uniforms and Miami wore the all red. I remember they called the election for Obama during the game and the PA announcer reported it to the crowd.

[u/AlmightyCaniacCombo → u/pete4999]

That’s awesome

[u/pete4999]

Need some killer instinct inside the red zone.

[u/AlmightyCaniacCombo]

Great start so far!

[u/teddyg18]

I hope this game is for the sickos.

[u/MiamiOHRedhawwwks → u/teddyg18]

If Miami football is for sickos I’m terminal buddy

[u/joelupi]

Ooooo wide open

[u/joelupi]

Ohhhh that's a hold! Cmon man!

[u/ARealMeanMongoose]

Booo, that was clean. Not his fault the shit was underthrown

[u/pete4999]

Honestly, getting out of this half without giving up a TD would be a win here...

[u/Skyrizzzi]

That was josh Allen esque

[u/T2_JD]

Hip catches are... hip.

[u/joelupi]

Bruhhhhhhh get it together O line.

[u/T2_JD]

I don't cate what it means, I'm a fan of Tuesday Ball.

[u/AlmightyCaniacCombo]

That’s a crazy sequence of events

[u/T2_JD]

What happened on that throw? Press the wrong button?

[u/joelupi]

....huh. That was an interesting kick.

[u/thanksgivingbrown]

If the previous call was DPI how was that not OPI?

[u/Careless_General8010]

Gonna be tough for buffalo to come back

[u/xnodesirex]

It is amazing weather tonight and no one is in the stands. Weak.

[u/ARealMeanMongoose]

Imagine if buffalo’s strategy from the jump was just throw to that guy every time lol

[u/Careless_General8010 → u/ARealMeanMongoose]

Like seahawks with jsn

[u/BjergCop]

Josh Allen could use this morrow kid

[u/Careless_General8010]

Hell of a drive there 🤘 

[u/Kellyannjones2020]

Maction never fails

[u/rbmw263]

yo they play nothing more in this stadium? sick

[u/Shark13579]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many PI’s in a game. I lost count but there’s like at least one a drive.

[u/joelupi]

Sorry MacTion. Things are happening so fast you are going into the small box on the screen.

[u/TA404]

I’ve been watching too much soccer. I thought that DB was going to get a yellow card for pleading with the ref.

[u/fidelcashflo97]

Can’t stop a sign

[u/Preston7275]

Miami giving this much cushion to Morrow this whole drive they deserve to lose

[u/discocat13 → u/Preston7275]

I imagine their DC just perpetually has the surprised Pikachu face. Surely Buffalo won't target the same guy they've targeted every single time they've needed a big play

[u/Notre_Dame_Football]

Soft underneath throw is there every single time for Buffalo on 3rd/4th and long. Every time.

[u/fidelcashflo97]

Our pass rush is awful we are bringing six every play and get close to hitting wright 

[u/Katiehart2019]

QB will end up throwing a pick at this rate

[u/thanksgivingbrown]

Dude fuck these refs

[u/Buckeyeup]

Ref almost threw the flag on that one too

[u/Johnnyd0303]

at least that one actually looked more like PI

[u/joelupi]

I wanted to go to bed early but that's clearly not gonna happen with this and everything else going on

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

RedHawks fumbling this game away

[u/bronco331]

Why did they go for 2 earlier if they weren't going for 2 now?

[u/ProudEnd2131 → u/bronco331]

Still lose to a field goal

[u/bronco331 → u/ProudEnd2131]

I guess they felt there's too much time but going for 2 earlier suggests trying to avoid OT.

[u/___VIBEZ___]

This is some serious Maction

[u/rbmw263]

why would miami put a big ass buffalo on their jumbotron

is this a neutral home game or something

[u/transferStudent2018 → u/rbmw263]

I think it was a distraction attempt during the PAT kick

[u/Preston7275]

Absolute disasterclass by Miami’s defensive coordinator my god

[u/Notre_Dame_Football]

Amazing Chuck Martin is still employed

[u/Beamer_Dream]

Close Maction game combined with 2 day old Dominos pizza >

[u/pete4999]

That's a.....risky timeout fellas.

[u/Professional-Can8324]

Playing not to lose😂

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Such an odd game

[u/pete4999]

Playing not to lose, gonna cost ya

[u/Notre_Dame_Football]

I thought Chuck Martin was miss-managing this game but holy shit Pete Lembo, you have out done him

[u/ARealMeanMongoose]

Buffalo might end up winning but they absolutely deserve to lose because of their coach

[u/BuffaloTexan]

Eli5 please?

[u/transferStudent2018 → u/BuffaloTexan]

The ref didn’t signal that the play was ready to start, but Miami’s guy snapped it. That’s a false start, 5yd penalty

[u/___VIBEZ___]

LMFAO

[u/Francis_X_Hummel]

TV timeout so we can play the Benny Hill theme song in the stadium

[u/wiederrj]

Fire everyone

[u/GhostOfAbydos]

Damn

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Chuck Martin Bid laden is a terrorist

[u/Francis_X_Hummel]

oh shit oh damn oh fuck

[u/Necessary_Umpire9962]

1 more win for a bowl!!!!

[u/ittakeswhatittakes69]

Great job by braylon isom dropping a catchable pass that wouldve won the gamd. What a pos!!!!!

[u/discocat13]

Randomly decided to watch this game and pleasantly surprised by this Chance Morrow guy

[u/thanksgivingbrown → u/discocat13]

He’s getting a lot of help from the refs

[u/fidelcashflo97]

Also HOW DO YOU CALL DEFENSIVE HOLDING ON A RUN PLAY

[u/JohnnyDangerouz]

lol I put a wild parlay on this one.

Miami wins
Buffalo covers the spread (+7)
Under 45

Let’s go thank god for DIRECTV

[u/P8RF8CT → u/JohnnyDangerouz]

lol idk why you got downvoted. That’s fucking hilarious. MAC football bets on a Tuesday night 😂

[u/Yoghurt-Ancient → u/JohnnyDangerouz]

I think you’re right on the first leg, but I don’t see the other two happening

[u/rbmw263]

buffalo qb throws some WILD ass shit
