Game Thread #7 tOSU 18, Purdue 26 (Oct 17, Noon ET, BTN)

I thought no way could we ever look worse offensively as we did against Whisky, but we have exceeded that standard against Purdue....:(

 

[MondayAMGenius]

Whew,

listen guys, we're gonna be fine in the 2nd half. I just got my mojo right. Yes it was all my fault. I changed something here and chimdi got the pick.

We'll be fine.

Can we give them the Wisconsin treatment in the second half?

Even if we win this one big, we just do not look good out there on offense. Luckily this is only televised on BTN, not nationwide...

OK, let's move over to the second half thread.

Is the offensive line going to block better for him? If not, he'd just be a sacrificial lamb out there.

Maybe they will.

Maybe Tressel would simplify the offense and RUN THE BALL from a more traditional set to help out the offensive line a bit.

Just as the defense finally has the right personnel to stop the spread, the offensive line isn't quite ready to RUN the spread.

Wow. I won't be making fun of scUM or Notre Dame any time soon. This is very ugly. I'd argue that this is the worst offense in the B10. I don't know what can be done but Posey is the only one that I have seen any passion out of at all on offense. None of them act like they care to even be out there.

You said it's going to be an ugly win.

If you think this game is anywhere NEAR decided you're kidding yourself.

I never said it was decided, but others seem to think so. I say the O regroups and comes out and puts up a TD in the 3rd helped out by maybe a FG.

It seems to me like this team's offense is good for one three-play, sixty-second long TD drive a game. Unfortunately, they've already used that up. Here's hoping they can double down today.

Yes you did. Distinctly. You said this was "going to be an ugly win".

 

[ysubuck]

The offensive line needs to take a long look in the mirror at half time.

 

[BuckeyeMafia]

I have no comments on the defense. They've been on the field for 23 minutes, close to what you'd expect in an entire game.

14 first downs to 4.

This it the same team Toledo hung 31 on.
The same team NIU put 28 on
Same team Northwestern scored 27 on.

Please fix this.

Hey, I'll call a buckeye win here. I might puke now, but I'll still call the buckeye win!

 

[buckeyemania11]

first posession of the 2nd half is crucial

if Purdue is able to score a TD....with the way this offense is playing I just dont see how they can recover from being down 2 scores

 

[OSUFAN84]

they need to throw some good play action into the gameplan

 

[JCOSU86]

That is the worst half of coaching and playing I have seen out of OSU in a looooong time.

Gotta regroup. Again.

Pyror MUST start taking care of the ball. The D MUST tighten up. The guyo over the middle is open all day. Elliott is throwing a great ball game right now.
