Catching up on the game. Let's go ahead and take that run, run, shovel pass red zone play series out of the playbook they ran on the first drive

I love Hartline as WRCoach on sideline. Up in the booth he’s detached from the game flow. I know he’s learning but I expected more today

UCLA going to Indy?

I didn’t mind the shovel pass, more impressed that Illinois was right there on it.

That ridiculous overturn of the JS catch ended a promising drive. Just need to keep moving forward

 

[System_id]

There's been a few strange play calls but a lot of the issues feel more like execution to me (and a horseshit overturn).

 

[BuckeyesGunn]

I'm of course glad to be up 17, but something is lacking with this offense somehow, IMHO. Not nearly as prolific as it could be.

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

It could be worse. We could be tied with Missouri or beating Washington State by 3 lolz

 

[Onebuckfan]

People’s 3 carries 2 yds.The other backs 5 yds carry.

Are all fan bases like this? I always thought it was just Penn State.

If we were getting beaten by OSU from mostly our own idiocy(which we definitely have made some boneheaded mistakes) it'd be one thing. But it is incontrovertible that we would be much closer, possibly even leading at half, if the refs weren't worshipping the precious Buckeyes. Hell, even on reviews, if the ref is obviously biased and makes a horrible review call, nothing happens to him. No consequences. It NEEDS to end. They're affecting FAR too many games in every sport, facing zero consequences, and at what point is enough enough? And how do we, as fans, force change? It's maddening!

I don’t know, I’ll take being up 20-3 at half over a top 20 team any day of the week. This team still hasn’t allowed a first half TD. They’re playing monster ball. Could it be 42-3? Sure. They could also look like every other subpar team in the nation.

That’s true, that overturn took 3-7 off the board.

That’s a wild score. WSU is a really bad team.

I mean, maybe we are actively seeing the mistakes being made and that’s why the offense looks out of sync? Is there any report that Day is actively interfering with the running of the offense?

Kind of... Last week the broadcasters said it was the first time Hartline had full control of the
offense. It's the media, so take it with a grain of salt. It kind of tracks.

It seems rather obvious, that the offense is weekly getting a little less conservative and opening things up a little.
