Game Thread Illinois at tOSU, Sat. Sept. 26, 12pm ET, FOX

Offense looked elite and made a lot of plays in the second half. If McCuin doesn’t have a drop they only punt once. Running game looked good and Ja’Kobi gives it his all.

Defense is a work in progress, moreso than I thought. Thankfully, I think a lot of the issues have to do with communication and understanding how responsibilities change when teams motion and shift. A lot of promise and they show a lot of faith in the freshman. Not sure how things will work out, but they’re nowhere close to their ceiling.

I know there's going to be a lot of hand-wringing about the defense, and the idiots over at 97.1 are going to rage bait people all week to make it seem like this is a defense being coached by Kerry Coombs.

Given the situation, yeah it's not ideal. At all. I'd like to win every game 84-0 but that's not realistic. More importantly, I'd rather a young team on defense get pushed around and challenged a bit for two reasons: It will keep them hungry and it gives them and the coaches quite a bit to work on. No one should be debating on if they needed to grow this season - 8 new starters, a few guys who came in to the program from outside, etc etc.

The key every year is growth. It's far better to have these issues in Game 4 than it is to have them in Game 12.

Quick recap of the posters on BuckeyePlanet's message board.......a board that has a rule to not bash players/coaches/team. A board that has specific violations for Gameday threads. A board that, for some reason, allows for its own thread for bitching, whining, and moaning during games:

- Ohio State won a football game 42 - 19.
- Jeremiah Smith tied the record for most receiving TDs in a game with 4.
- Jeremiah Smith set a personal record of receiving yards and receptions.
- Julian Sayin looked elite throwing, and added some clutch runs that fans have been clamoring for.

The same fans you would expect spent the whole game throwing a hissy fit, because they didn't win every single snap. As if the other team was trying to win.

And again, the team we all love won a conference game by 3 TDs.

Funny, all I've witnessed is fair criticisms.
