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

[Bill Lucas]

Hold AND facemask against Worthington that wasn't called.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Worthington getting held by the facemask on that draw play.

I didn't realize it until I saw that graphic, but Purdue really hasn't been called for a penalty yet. That's amazing.

All things considered, it's really not that amazing.

Its all in the middle of the field.

 

[OSUFAN84]

they're gettin the same plays open in the middle of that zone

 

[Steve19]

the defense looks gassed already.

Of course they do. Second week in a row on the field so long.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Come on D!

Tighten up and get the ball back!

 

[Mike80]

Of course they do. Second week in a row on the field so long.

And they've completely stopped being aggressive both in their actions and their playcalling on defense.

If Purdue scores it's over.

According to the BTN geniuses, the reason our offense isn't on the field is because the defense can't get off it. I'm guessing when the offense only gets 4 first downs in the first half the defense IS going to be on the field a lot, by default. :ohwell:

 

[Gothmog8]

Wow Purdue O is looking like tOSU's should be.. This is crazy.

 

[jlb1705]

Impressive bit of analysis by Martin there.

Ohio State's defense is giving up yards, thereby keeping the offense from going out an winning this thing. Dumbass.

All things considered, it's really not that amazing.

My failure to use the sarcasm tags strikes again. I try not to blame the refs, but it's astounding that Purdue hasn't had a hold called yet. I mean, they've literally just tackled our some of our DL on more than a handful of plays.

#75 sustained a hold for about 5 seconds on that run.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

D line getting eaten alive right now.
