Their whole offense is to throw 50:50 balls and hope for PI.

Once again defending until the final inch.

Just a badass attitude with that side of the ball. I mean wow.

Will we score again before half?

If there’s no bomb to Smith or Tate to try and get within FG range then we’re doing something wrong.

Well that was quite a goal line stop. D is intense

This defense.

Herb Kirkstreit · 2025-10-11T13:50:05-0400

Illini get the ball back to start the 2nd half. Would be nice for the Buckeyes to get a score here before the half.

The defender does not have to turnaround and find the ball in college, you idoits

I have no idea why these guys bring this up. Can it make the ref more likely to throw a flag? Sure. But it hasn’t been a thing for 15-20 years.

No timeout after the kickoff?

Jaxbuck · 2025-10-11T13:50:50-0400

Every other noon kick is at half time.

Army has started the 3rd quarter.

OHSportsFan · 2025-10-11T13:51:44-0400

Terrible 1st down playcall.

Hartline not great today.

dragurd · 2025-10-11T13:52:03-0400

WTF was that series of plays. Every call should have been at least 10 yards

RuGettinIt · 2025-10-11T13:52:21-0400

That was a bad series

Fungo Squiggly · 2025-10-11T13:52:25-0400

He had an arm around his waist, Joel. And yet you are saying he didn’t make any contact. Fuck your own face.

TampaBuckeyes · 2025-10-11T13:52:41-0400

What is that delay of game. What a mess they have been at the end of the half.
