Game Thread 2017 Cotton Bowl: OSU vs. USC - 12/29/17 @ 8:30 ET (ESPN)

[Samuel W Wake]

Sack here

 

[buckeyebri]

Great effort by the USC receiver there...

 

[Jake]

They should probably show the Song Girls between every play.

 

[Buckeye513]

So why is he choosing to continue to play football at all? In particular, pro football - which has a greater likelihood of high impact injury and therefore concussions.

I won't claim to be in a position to judge, and I'll likely never have to make a similar decision to what he made - but I sincerely hope the players we recruit in the future do not share his attitude.

This is Ohio State - not Miami 2.0.

And back to the game.

Long-term financial security.

I understand that a lot of fans don't want it to be so, but there are more important things in most of these guy's lives than college football legacy and bringing glory to the old university. If you want top recruiting classes and a shot at the CFP every year, you're going to have players who are in the position to make business decisions. Calling any of them selfish or soft for protecting themselves and their money is ridiculous.

Get em Tuff

 

[buckeyebri]

Parted like the Red Sea

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Damnit. Too many chunk plays for USC.

 

[scarletmike]

C'mon defense. Get them back here outside of FG range...fuck.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Come on Baker, knock his lights out when he takes off. Cant just watch him running

 

[buckeyboy]

Secondary is getting carved on this drive.

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Wow, just wow, come on guys.

 

[Wingate1217]

Do they play that stupid song after every play? It seems if a USC player farts they will play that freaking song....

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

When Darnold runs, it's open season. Take him out.

 

[Hetuck]

They can't run.

 

[Bucklion]

Can’t let D’ickears get into a rhythm

 

[Bestbuck36]

They found our weakness. LB help in coverage is too far behind.
