Re: College football
I've never been so disinterested in any post-season football than this year. And it's a good thing, because I think everybody I might have rooted for has lost.

Edit: 35-21 after a 62 yard Utah run on a 4th & 1 play with 6:24 left in the 2nd . Oh well, time for C.J. Stroud to throw another pass.
Edit: 4th pass attempt 49 yard gain for nearly a TD, fumbled into the end zone, touchback for Utah.
Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba sets college football record in wild Rose Bowl win over Utah
Jaxon Smith-Njigba turned in the best receiving performance in bowl game history as No. 6 Ohio State stormed back to beat No. 11 Utah, 48-45, in the Rose Bowl.
Smith-Njigba had 347 receiving yards and three touchdowns and what we all thought could be the game-winning score in an incredible throw-and-catch from C.J. Stroud with less than five minutes to go.
... Smith-Njigba’s 347 yards on 15 catches are the most in the history of college football bowl games. He breaks the previous record of 308 yards held by Hawaii’s Jason Rivers in the 2006 Hawaii Bowl. Rivers had been the only player to have more than 300 receiving yards in a bowl game.
Stroud threw for 573 yards and became the first Ohio State quarterback to throw for over 500 yards in a single game. His yardage total is the third-most in bowl history behind only former Marshall QB Byron Leftwich and former BYU QB Ty Detmer. They each threw for 576 yards in a bowl game....
Smith-Njigba finishes the 2021 season with an Ohio State-record 95 catches....
Stroud finished 37-of-46 passing with six touchdowns and an interception at the start of the third quarter. That was Ohio State’s second turnover in a Utah end zone; Smith-Njigba fumbled inside the five in the second quarter and Utah recovered for a touchback. The Ohio State offense racked up 683 yards of total offense....
Reminds me of the 1996 NCAA Division I-AA Football Championship Game, Marshall vs Montana in Marshall's final 1-AA game. A year earlier Montana beat Marshall 22-20 in the title game. This year, Marshall had a receiver I'd never heard of, one booted from FSU for behavioral issues before ever playing a down for them. He shredded Montana for 9 rec, 220 yds, 4 TD in a 49-29 rout. He eventually went on to have an okay NFL career.

#2 James Madison, which stomped #5 Montana, lost to #3 N Dak St last night 14-20 . I'm no James Madison fan, but N Dak St has won 8 of the last 10 FCS championships! So, go #7 4.5 point underdog @Montana St today (2:00 PM EST ESPN2), but if not go #11 South Dakota St > N Dak St

Re: College football
Ugly from the start, I didn't even make it through the 1st half. It didn't help that the MSU QB was knocked out in the 1st drive, but it's hard to imagine that he would have made the difference.

Re: College football
Newish (I think) rule to prevent runback injuries.
NFL:
Hence, it only happens with a rare short, popup kickoff.

Re: College football
How can it be a fumble or intentional grounding?
