ROUND 2 COMMENTARY
Wow. The Penn State-Oklahoma game was so exciting I wish I could upload it to YouTube. If that game had happened in real life, during a do-or-die playoff it would have gone down in history. Penn State knocks off #1 seed Oklahoma. Here's how it happened:
**Shuler's 2nd TD reception from Clark came with 2:45 left in the game.
That game was absolutely crazy. Clark struggled early but really settled down in the 2nd half. This was, by far, the best game of the simulation after 12 games.
The Georgia-Ohio State match was a good one too. Georgia, minus Knowshon Moreno due to injury suffered versus Florida, played hard and relied on Matthew Stafford. It just wasn't enough. The Bulldogs cut the lead to 7 with under a minute to play but the onside kick attempt failed.
How about Cincinnati? They are on quite the roll. They knocked off #5 USC and now #4 Alabama. Up next? #8 Penn State. Gulp.
We get an actual BCS Bowl Match Up in the other half of the Simulated Final Four, as Ohio State plays Texas. The Ohio State offense has been clicking in the first two rounds, but so has Texas'. It will most likely be shootout. As much as I would like to see an all Big 10 title game, most of the nation wouldn't. I guess the best outlook would be Penn State vs Texas for the title, something that could have happened this year.
The results of the Final Four will be up late tonight. I am making you wait until after the New Year for the Championship Game reults however. The updated bracket is below...
- 1st quarter - TD Oklahoma, Bradford run, 7-0 Oklahoma
- 1st quarter - FG Oklahoma, Way kick, 10-0 Oklahoma
- 1st quarter - TD Penn State, Clark to Williams, 10-7 Oklahoma
- 2nd quarter - TD Penn State, Green run, 14-10 Penn State
- 2nd quarter - TD Oklahoma, Bradford to Tennell, 17-14 Oklahoma
- 3rd quarter - TD Penn State, Clark to Shuler*, 21-17 Penn State
- 3rd quarter - TD Oklahoma, Calhoun run, 24-21 Oklahoma
- 4th quarter - TD Oklahoma, Bradford to Clapp, 31-21 Oklahoma
- 4th quarter - TD Penn State, Clark to Edwards, 31-28 Oklahoma
- 4th quarter - TD Penn State, Clark to Shuler**, 35-31 Penn State
- FINAL SCORE: Penn State 35, Oklahoma 31
