B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

After sleeping on it, not really sure what to think. This could've simply been a battle between the two clear best teams in the country and Indiana made one more play than OSU while the Buckeyes didn't play near their best. I have no more real concerns with the defense. The only playoff team with a better offense than Indiana is Ole Miss, and their defense is ass. Plus there's the whole Kiffin nonsense.

Offense scares me a lot more after this game and it's mainly because of play calling. OL and Sayin didn't play great in the first half but they seemed to settle down in the second half. The red zone play calling in the second half was coaching malpractice and it's something we've seen with Day through out the years. Multiple times with 3rd and 1 in the red zone only to piss it away with a dumbass passing play.

If this was like the Texas game where the lack of execution was more of a problem, I'd feel a lot more confidence going into the playoffs.

I was thinking about this driving to work as I was cycling through team items because I’m obsessed with our squad.

For someone that has performed as well as any tackle statistically in the country what am I missing as it relates to draft chatter? Is it physical measurement?
We need him to lead along with Montgomery. Got to Day and say run our side we will take care of business. Why is every running play slow developing? Our blocking scheme was thwarted by IUs quickness a lot of the time.

Ballsy call and throw by IU.


OL and QB are real problems for this team right now. Julian has been lowering his eyes into the rush even when it doesn't show up. He missed several downfield throws early and Bo on the HB fast flat late.

Right side of the OL was dogged all night. This defense is damn good. But if they can't generate turnovers and short field position, we see that the offense can struggle to be efficient then explosive vs upper tier teams.

We'll see what the playoffs bring. But right now, Indiana is the best team in the country.
The Defense did generate a turnover and short field position. The offense didn't capitalize.
