Don’t be ridiculous, Klatt. It’s a guy in his first start on his own 3 yard line with 35 secondsleft and 1 timeout. Against the #1 team in the nation. Not even Mike Leach is calling a pass play here.

A few easy first down throws make a lot of sense to me for the second half.

Everytime we haven’t started inside our own 10 we have moved the ball pretty effortlessly. Just cannot get into 3rd and 10+..go bucks!!

I gotta say this game is nothing what I thought it would be.

pretty much what I expected. Lot of defense with 2 inexperienced QBs. That's why I was disappointed early that we were giving up 5 yards a carry, see how Manning operates in a 1-dimensional offense and I like our chances.

Yeah I was expecting to have to rely on our D cause I expected arch to look better and Sayin to be the one who was erratic.

Instead if our receivers catch this game could easily be 14+ to 0

The defense didn't have to leave its base formations much or do anything super exotic. That should be scary for everyone.

Pretty much what I was expecting, gonna be a long game though, might only need one more real drive from the offense. Arch is going to throw a pick.

 

[BUCKYLE]

Gus being Gus…I don’t hate him, but I don’t get the infatuation either

Because after 20 years of espn guys being Disappointed when we score we finally had someone who seemed to enjoy our good plays

 

[Captain Buckeye]

Damn (looks around)… well I feel good.

Being out of my element I have to say what a start by the defense. Literally have given up nothing.

Offense just needs to execute man. JJ just needs to catch the damn ball pretty much lol

 

[woofermazing]

Fuckin A, Manning has been in commercials than completed passes.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

I have to say this defense has given up nothing so far.

Damn what a start

Early down throws imo is the way to go

Arch looks incredibly green for a guy who's been in a program 3 years and has had at least some real run. First read isn't there immediately he goes into panic mode.
