Out of the mouths of babes...

My daughter would like one of you to explain why we need announcers. Her actual comment: "I don't know why they have to have these announcers...they're irritating."

 

[AKAK]

Got a little out of it after the MIller series, but, really liked the tempo of the offense in the first 2 drives out of the I. Not many substitutions, were snapping the ball pretty regularly at around 16 secs left on the play clock, putting a lot of pressure on the D and letting the O-line dictate the play.

Akron at tOSU - Second Half Game Thread

We'll switch to this for the second half.

 

[Dryden]

OSU has thrown two TD passes to a TE and thrown to the FB and a RB. [strike]In the same game![/strike] In one half of the same game!

I hope Coach Tressel makes it through the night. His head must be spinning.

We'll switch to this thread for the second half.

Guess I did the right thing surfing channels at halftime. Missed May and Holtz entirely.

There's a lesson here, folks.

Yup. I will never know what any of those espn guys say unless someone hear tells me. Best to just turn the channel...

Braxton will shine next week if the spread attack has all hands on deck

I think we'll see one more scoring drive from Bauserman, then it's Miller time for the rest of the game. Let's see what he can do with more than one series. Let him get rid of all of those butterflies. You know the kids super nervous in his first collegiate game.

Still think "leaders" and "legends" are dumb division names. :ohwell:

 

[ScarletnGray 33]

Baus or Brax to start the 2nd?

Line play has been good on both sides, especially the offensive side, but I'd like to see a bit more of a pass rush. Still, lots of tipped balls at the line of scrimmage, so I know the D-line is working hard down there.

Hyde looks to be establishing himself above Smith. He looks great and one wonders whether he'll get the majority of carries even after Hall returns.

Great to see Stoney being a focal point of the offense. We're definitely going to need that with Posey out.

Clark has been great and I don't think they've really even thrown at Roby.

It's a small sample size, but the kick coverage looks much better so far.

The miss by Basil is a bit concerning. We're going to need points from special teams this year.

Bauserman looks very good. I'd like to see more of Miller. Not sure why we haven't.

Sweat may be our next great linebacker.

Wow C deck has cleared out some 99% sure bc of the heat

Don't we all. I just try not saying the names of the divisions if I don't have to. I just go with 'the divisions'..

They need to show Vrabel more on the sidelines. :p
