Arkansas State @ tOSU, Sat Sep 10, Noon ET on BTN

That was a brilliant team effort on that. Proctor got it but looked like he might fall into the endzone until Ballard caught him and pushed him back. That was special right there.

Yep I hate how that is rulled though. Where first touch is where it's downed but if he falls into the end zone there it's a touchback. If you are going to rule forward progress you should both ways

First guy hitting him was fine -- 2nd guy dove in 3 yards out of bounds. What the fuck, guys?

second player put 2 fingers on him. my issue was the take to the ground when oob. initial hit was fine, but the follow through i don't care for.

The Tex-Bama talk belongs in the week 2 game thread, please.

Ffs I think a quick update is acceptable.

I’ve gotta keep it real here guys. Perry had a rough first half for me

Hall has quick feet and violent hands… ok, that’s true. But he was unblocked on that play. Missed assignments on offense are called as great plays by defense every time, I get it. But Josh should be better than that.

And, “the second guy may’ve been a little late to the party”???

please

it’s ok to say the Buckeyes got jobbed. We already have a surfeit of alumni who go out of their way to be “objective”

Not an impressive half for either sides of the ball. I expect a decent amount of work for both 1st team O and D in the second half. I was hoping for a much higher lead and the ability to get McCord and the other younger players a decent amount of playing time.

 

[Telekinesis]

Not a great half, but having refs that need eye surgery doesn’t help.

 

[RugbyBuck]

Apparently, ArkieState would be kicking Notre Dame’s ass. I need to see some young kids with their hair on fucking fire in the second half.

 

[Gunlife]

Super sloppy. I just don't expect more from the offense until the receivers room is whole. Defense needs to forget about learning a new system and just learn basic angles and wrapping up.

nope

 

[Bestbuck36]

Burke hasn't been on the field since the 3rd field goal

One thing I've noticed about Knowles, if you fuck up you'll be on the bench. Proctor last week, Burke this week. Honestly, I love it. Sure makes guys get focused and play having consequences to mistakes

 

[dragurd]

All these excuses...it's Arkansas State, the spread was over 40. They look sloppy asf. Defense not looking all that impressive tbh, and the offense seems out of sync half the time. They need to put in a lot more work to iron the kinks out.

Defense is in place unlike under Combs they just need to fucking tackle

 

[KingOfRhye]

nope

Yes

It is… in the week 2 game thread.

Yup tackling would've cut ArkSt's yardage down by half. Not sure what to make of the offense. Just doesn't look right at all.

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

Yes

The answer is no.

if you don’t like it, toddle off to the ESPN boards. I hear they’re easier
