Game Thread (2004) Game Four: @ Northwestern - 10/2/04 (L, 3-1/0-1)

actually on second thought, running back might be our deepest position. I'm sure our 4th string could contribute just as much as our first string.

WTF with Brandon Joe. He's got a FF for NW. You guys are crazy with wanting to put Smith in.

Look for some more intensity in 2nd half.

 

[DiHard]

did bam make the trip???

 

[Sdgobucks]

We look really uninspired on both sides of the ball.

 

[Folanator]

This is Fucking killing me. We look like we have no clue what we are doing. This is the most embarrasing performance I have seen scince the Earl days. I am going to throw a chair through the TV if we do not get Pittman the ball and start to throw som controlled passing. This is absolutly no fun to watch.

 

[DiHard]

anyone wanna guess the odds of the buckeyes escaping with a victory tonight??? i think the first series of the third quarter will tell all....if the bucks are inspired and get a quick three and out.....65-35 chance in favor of the bucks....

if nwestern keeps moving the ball and pinning the bucks deep....40-60 chance for the bucks....

I've stayed out of the who should be the QB debate, but I wouldn't mind seeing Smith play in the second half. If anything, it allows Zwick a chance to see what the defense is doing from the sideline.

 

[DiHard]

i think the coaches have zwick so afraid to throw a pic or a bad pass that he is now completely tentative......if someone isnt wide, wide open he ends up holding onto it too long....

this is one of those moments i do think it is tressel and bollman that kill our offense......payton manning would suck as our qb.....

 

[EPBucks]

I think you need to keep Zwick in there the problem on O is the running game. Pittman is looking capable of fixing that at least some what. I think if we can get some sort of running game Zwick will look better. The key though is the defense in the second half.

PS I hate these announcers

 

[Cincinnatibuck]

I don't know. His picks and fumbles haven't cost him any playing time all year. I just think the game is still to fast for Zwick.

 

[stxbuck]

The announcers just said Troy was near Toledo.......

 

[DiHard]

i hope andre ware gets run over by a dump truck on the way home tonite and his head pops like an overripe pumpkin......

 

[Sdgobucks]

If the D doesnt stop NW then it wont matter.

 

[DiHard]

snyder is getting blown up.....i mean blown up....he has no answer....none....


the bucks are in major, major trouble....

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

this is disgusting....they dont even look prepared......unbelievable...20-10, they are playing like shit on defense and its the same play over and over again, the slip screen...get a clue.
