Game Thread tOSU at Iowa, Sat. Oct. 3rd, 3:30 pm ET, CBS

Entering the Pig House Iowa was the #1 defense in the nation, limiting teams to under 70 rushing yards per game.scUM rushed for 189 yards.
There QB is a better runner than QB too. All about the fronts. Oline and Dline need to step up. And fuck cancer.

Worst rule in all sports

This stupid rule that you need 3 seconds to spike the ball is pissing me off. BB73 quoted the rule in another thread.
Post #1572

I forget the exact wording now, and I'll probably get it wrong. But the NCAA says it takes a minimum of 2 seconds to spike the ball. If the ball is snapped with 2 seconds or 1 second, it is the last play of the quarter/half/game/whatever (barring penalty).
So if your team snaps it with 2 seconds, and then the ball hits the ground with 1 second left, too fucking bad - the game is over.

Might be the worst rule.

It’s true, there’s a specific NCAA rule about the clock and spiking the ball. It was quoted on page 105 of this thread.

Without the injury stopping the clock, it’s possible that the refs would have started the game clock after moving the chains, and Iowa could have hiked the ball with 2 on the clock, spiked it quickly while the clock still said 1, and then had the B1G refs explain why the 1 second had to be taken away by rule and the game could have literally ended with 1 second on the clock. Of course, that would have been the mystery second from the Western Mich game, and the college football world would have been outraged.
I'm still outraged that that's a rule.
I'm 50 years old and my farts are more athletic than I am.
I'm pretty that if the ball is snapped to me with 0:02 on the clock, I can spike the ball, and the clock will show at least 0:01 when the ball hits the ground. I have to believe that these kids who have been practicing and can run more than 5 steps without getting winded can time the snap and spike in less than 2 seconds.
The only thing I can think of is they don't want to put the pressure on the clock operator. But then, that's just some double-secret guy sitting in the stands, anyway, so who knows.

Huge unsportsmanlike penalty to keep that Iowa drive going. If you watch the film there’s a late hit on qb that goes uncalled on the same play. Fuckers are a mouthy bunch that get away with a lot of bullshit that should be called.

Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)

What's most disappointing is that they lost this game exactly the same way they've been losing to the Steelers specifically for years now. Decades really.

They always seem so tight and nervous when we play Pittsburgh.

Guys who have been productive for several games suddenly get Alligator arms. Our vaunted pass rush disappears against a very mediocre offensive line.

We suddenly start making mental mistakes. Start committing inexcusable penalties. The coaches start calling the game as if they're desperate.

Like I said earlier. The Steelers are just living in our heads rent free. We don't play the same against them.

I'm really growing tired of it. I just don't see a light at the end of the Pittsburgh tunnel. They own us and it's disgusting.

Overall lifetime record against Pittsburgh: 411-490-5
Is this including the Reds?
Pittsburgh Steelers lead series 73-41-0

Maybe there's some big brother complex at play, don't know. But we have beaten them as much as they us over the last seven years. Bengals would have won today if not for going full regard twice on ST.
