Game Thread Akron at tOSU, Sat. Aug. 31, 3:30pm ET, CBS

[osuvictory1]

Akron is willing to destroy their whole season over this game.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

I have to admit this is a fail on offense so far

The starters should be out by now. This should not be a game but here we are.

Now the backups aren’t getting reps and our starters are at risk for injury.

Sucks for Finley that he possibly screwed his whole season by trying to get an extra yard in the first quarter of an unwinnable game. He looked so carefree lazily starting that slide in slow motion.

 

[RuGettinIt]

It's early season but this is Akron. Offense really does not impress.

Lots of talent, same ole play calling

What the fuck is Danielson talking about? Why would OSU be taking time outs with 25 seconds left?

 

[Gothmog8]

As much as you expect OSU to come out and score 50 in the 1st half... its an exhibition game.. work out the kinks..

 

[Onebuckfan]

17-3 Akron won’t score 17.

Clock management still sucks. I'm not sure we're solid on our plans yet so let's see what happens second half and going forward.

I'm definitely not watching another live game on CBS though. Just terrible

He can't pronounce words, let alone names. But, hey... he's now our shill. (Again, actually)

Outside of that major mental lapse at the end of the half, we have a lot to be excited about with Howard. Arm, mobility, extension of plays, playing off script.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Agree. Howard has been fine.

 

[Honor&Glory]

That was never going to happen in this game. The next game or two are when that will occur hopefully.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Where is she??

It’s hard to believe this is her first appearance today.

This is first world problems… but I really thought we’d be backups deep by now.

Chip Kelly- play your best 11. If that’s 32 and 1 then drop the TEs already.

The defense looks salty as we thought but a little slow to respond to the flats. My only other thought is where are the other WRs?

The OL and the WRs not named Smith aren’t performing
