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

Hey...McLaurin caught it....that's good...right?

 

[Jake]

I really wouldn't be surprised to see this game end 24-14. Defense is on fire, offense is what it is.

Kind of like Ohio State 27, Wisconsin 21, after it looked like we were going to blow them out? I could see that.

I'll just be happy if we win, at this point.

 

[Jagdaddy]

OL needs to play better.

 

[zincfinger]

It's frustrating to watch a defense take significant risks to commit resources to the line of scrimmage, and the OSU offense can't or won't punish them for taking the risk.

 

[Systems_id]

This offense is painful to watch

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Wow....just a really poor throw by Barrett.

 

[Drubuck]

Ugh. Thankful for the D

 

[Mike80]

JT was a step too late on that throw....

 

[Bestbuck36]

Bah, JT. Hang in there and throw that, he was open

 

[Jagdaddy]

Crisman's going to get one blocked if they don't tighten up.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

JT throws that crosser a half second earlier it's a first down.

If we don't correct it USC is going to block a punt tonight.....

 

[TooTall]

Damnit.

It’ll be nice to be able to get more into the intermediate to deep routes next season. Love what JT has been able to accomplish, but his limitations are what they are. Those crossing routes are difficult to find consistency when 10 or 11 players are within 15 yards of the LOS.

All the talent we have on O and the minds we have to guide it....I just don’t get why it is a struggle to sustain a drive...
