Week 4 Game Discussion Thread

I think the one little thing that bothers me about the ending of the Iowa game vs. the cheaters is that as soon as the referee called it a touchdown, the boss referee guy can be heard on the speaker saying that they wanted to review it. I mean - it was the right thing to do, to review that play. But when else do you see the referee say that so quickly? Don't they need to wait for the replay booth to "buzz down"?

It doesn't bother me too much, because like I said, it was the right thing to do. Under normal circumstances, I'd rather the referees get it right, and the sooner the better. I just found it a little odd that the ref's like, "whoa! that was weird - we better hurry up and review that to see if we can save the cheaters."
It was the end of the game, and he knew it was close, plus don't they review every TD and turnover, anyway? I think he just wanted to clear it up before players and fans started making a mess of leaving the field/stands. Basically a quick "don't go anywhere, we're going to take a look at this to be sure."

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Calibuck

"For the class of 2026 the rules are slightly more flexible than they will be for the class of 2027 and on.

"Reports and confirmations around the rule changes noted that the strict new age cutoff (which would have limited older freshmen who turned 19 or 20 before September 1) officially kicks in for the Class of 2027, protecting the Class of 2026 with traditional flexibility."

Holdbacks in future classes will have to decide to reclassify and graduate a class earlier than planned or forfeit a potential year of college eligibility, "

Oregon Ducks (aka U of Nike)

Oregon Ducks QB Dante Moore carted off the field after a vicious hit to the head against USC​

Moore was able to move his hands and feet while being carted into a waiting ambulance, NBC Sports reported​

While the specifics of Moore's injury have not been revealed, it was reported on the NBC Sports broadcast of the game that Moore was able to move his hands and feet and managed to rotate his arms while being carted off.

You can debate whether Moore slid a little too late or if Stephens should've pulled up sooner, but one thing that won't give Stephens the benefit of the doubt was how he and his teammates handled the situation on the sidelines.

He was seen smiling and laughing while getting congratulated by teammates as Moore was still being taken off the field.

Sending the absolute best wishes to Dante Moore. Hate to see that happen to anyone.

2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

The defense just has to get off the damn field. It wasn’t just 3rd and 4th downs given up too. There were a lot of 2nd and longs that somehow we gave up also. We gave up 7 conversions on 3/4 downs and gave up a few really nasty conversions too like 2nd and 20 then Illinois gets 21.

Just cut that in half and this is a different game for the defense.

If think that’s issue #2 right now. Issue number one seems to me we don’t have the DL like we typically have. There’s a noticeable drop off IMO at DT. So when you force players who aren’t as good to stay on the field because you can’t get off the field. Not great mixture.

Limit the exposure by getting off the field.

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

This was always the underrated game of the year. Having lost to Texas we obviously can’t afford a loss to a team not named Oregon or Indiana.

if we can’t stop the run I don’t know if the offense can just blow the doors off the defense in this one. Iowa at home should generate a few more stops than typical. If we can’t do the same we could easily walk out with a loss.

Week 4 Game Discussion Thread

I just saw the Collin Simmons simulating urination highlight. It did actually look pretty funny, but my gawd, what a moron. You really want to simulate peeing in front of 100,000 people?

Sark walked away from the reporter, I think Arch laughed about it, and now this. Oof, so many bad looks for these #1 Shorthorns.
