He's still a match-up nightmare for defenses and this is his first year with major PT. Scary Terry didn't look like a starting caliber WR here for the first few years; now he's one of the best in the NFL. Too early to come to conclusions

All those points but he does really need to work on his hands bringing the ball in. Because literally every other skill set is there.

Two other things though. He was wide open on the TD but we've seen guys drop that. So I'm glad for that. Second, that interception was not on him...he wasn't open and it got deflected into a pick.

I only say this because the kid is massively talented and I think will have his moment. There's a reason he's in there.

I'm expecting this to go somewhat similar to the Iowa game.

Absolutely the right comp, imo, if it wasn't The Game.

For the record, I am confident OSU wins this Game but I am skeptical of these 3TD spreads I am seeing only because of hard won experience.

If they have a coach that gets "it", I don't mean is good, I mean that gets The Rivalry, they will be a different team on Saturday than they have been all year.

Just think back to 2012-2014. Hoke, for all his fat fuck failings was washed in the blood of The Game. He took zero dimensional offenses with semi stout defenses and damn near beat us 3 years in a row when the teams had zero reason, on paper, to be in it with OSU.

This tsun team is a zero dimensional offense, a really good DL and an all world place kicker. The rest is a bunch of Iowa level (or worse) flotsam that doesn't belong on the same field with the kind of talent OSU has....except it's The Game and you just know it won't play out exactly that way.

We need to take the ball first if the 3 and out is greater than a 50per cent probability. I’d rather get it out of the way before our opponent scores. I think it’s fugazi that the strategy is try different things rather than score.

Its not that they're not trying to score, it's important to remember that unsuccessful plays are just as useful for the plan going forward as successful ones.

I think he just means skipping a CCG is a bye week, as it likely will be for Penn State, Indiana, and Tennessee.

But the ‘second bye’ is actually getting a seed between 5 and 8 and getting a home game, (which should just require a Top-6 ranking), also what is likely for Penn State. As you guys know, only the Top 4 among the Conference champions get a playoff bye week.

Once the Top-4 seeds complain about missing out from having a home game, and folks bitch about teams ranked somewhere from 9 to 20 getting a top-4 seed, the clamor to expand to 16 will start roaring again.

The solution to unqualified teams getting into the playoffs is to add more teams to the playoffs.

Login to view embedded media Who is the guy who starts talking about 3:23 in? He basically says that Ohio State wasn't impressive - Indiana was just bad. Indiana didn't protect the quarterback and didn't stop a punt returned for a touchdown. Quarterback was under pressure all game long. Heh. Maybe because Ohio State put pressure on him? They couldn't get anything going on offense. Oh yeah.. because Ohio State played defense, maybe?
What a goober.

I got home just in time to watch the end of the South Range/Poland game on YSN - South Range showed a lot of heart and poise on that final drive to score - marched down the field with confidence and a freshman gets open in the end zone for the touchdown - amazing stuff!

I’m not nervous. I don’t think our coaches or players are nervous. Just don’t be stubborn on O and D. Don’t run into the 8 man box and on D keep on stunting and blitzing. Limit the PI calls. Iggy has poor technique.
