Game Thread Penn State at #1 tOSU, Sat. Nov. 1st, 12pm ET, FOX

I don't know how much it was talked about live, as I was at the game, but the 3 coolest things that happened in this game were:

1. Duh.....Jeremiah Smith doing Jeremiah Smith things
2. the video crew trolling the shit out of Jim Knowles
3. the unending stadium O-H-I-O that started with about 4:30 left in the game

In regards to #3, I've never been part of an O-H-I-O that lasted through actual game play, let alone multiple plays....especially on offense. I've certainly never been part of one that lasted that long. It seems like current FSU CB commit Jay Timmons also took notice:

“The environment is fire,” Rivals No. 2 cornerback and Florida State commit Jay Timmons said. The Buckeyes are giving the Seminoles legacy recruit a lot to think about and this environment is one he can see himself in. “People don’t stop saying O-H-I-O. The people here are super loyal.”

There is some walking back of calling every possible targeting play based on the presence of "indicators," and conference games are regularly protecting their contenders. I think the no-targeting call is correct from how want the play officiated. There was no intent to injure and no injury - and the play was made by one of the best and most respected college players making a play based on where the receiver would have been if it was a catchable ball. The ball was so high that the receiver turned but didn't jump to make a play on the ball. Downs in my opinion thought the receiver would actually jump to attempt a catch. Also, if the offensive player doesn't attempt to receive the ball - why would be granted protection as a defenseless receiver? He was just a defenseless observer of an errant pass.
That still makes him a defenseless player. It's not his fault Penn State can't find QBs who can complete passes.

Buckeye Facts and Trivia

At the start of this season, the official site listed the all-time record in football as 978-335-53.

Counting the 12 vacated wins from the 2010 season, and the 8 wins so far, that puts the record of actual gamed played 998-335-53.

So this week at Purdue will be for #999, and if that is successful, the Buckeyes aim for the 1,000 win milestone as they host UCLA on the 15th.
