B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

[CMic]

Disappointed in losing last night, but it was the third most important of the three goals. I like our draw.

At this point I would sacrifice the flow of the game to give each head coach a challenge for questionable penalty calls / no-calls. One challenge per game that's given back if they win the challenge.

The officiating needs to improve. Some of them look like they're well into their 60's. Maybe they are too gassed from running up and down the field the whole game to think straight.

"IU outplayed us, though." Kenyatta preventing those throws, sacking for 8-yard losses and forcing punts instead of chunk plays to convert on third downs would have balanced that as an equalizer.

It was a great football game, played by two excellent teams. It could have gone either way.

If it wasn't the Bucks being in the game and coming up just short, it would have been a great game to just watch and enjoy.

A&M in Dallas would be a brutal pull. Have confidence in that match up but still

We beat the team that beat them... but this is exactly my bitch about the stranglehold the Bowl system has maintained on NATIONAL playoffs. Also, a huge tip of the hat to Mendoza, kid got knocked on his ass on play 1, got up off the turf and played one hell of a game. His three passes to Becker(?) were dead on target.

I'm interested to see what Day does to fix the o-line debacle. Different plays to make up for its inherent weakness? I don't see it getting fixed so it needs to be some nuance. If they don't figure it out, no Natty. IU showed everyone else how to attack our offense.

Play Van Sickle and maybe Moore passes Daniels in practice.

I know. Been there many times. Now it is time to crush.

Indiana is a damn good team. No shame in losing to them. But our redzone offense, lack of an identity in short yardage situations, and kicker who's scared of his own shadow are deeply troubling. Hopefully we get a similar flip of the switch as last year's playoffs, otherwise we will go home early

Bo Jackson is a good solid back. But he's not a game changer (at least not now---I dont know if people thought Zeke would become what he became fwiw) but I'm sure other teams are fine with him getting 20 carries a game

Bo would be a very nice change of pace back behind Peoples, if projections held up properly. It's not his fault that Alford (and other circumstances) have left OSU's depth chart so thin most of the past decade.

Of the issues that exist in last night's game, Bo Jackson is not one of them.
I think he did just fine considering the right side of the O line and the TEs couldn't block for shit.

 

[jwinslow]

It's hard to have 3 wide when your OL is getting abused. Plus, the Buckeyes have some pretty badass tight ends.

and the one you usually leave out there with the 3 TEs is a much weaker blocker than his backup.

Not only that but my one pet peeve with Day even before the 3-4TE's sets of this year. Is he's obsessed with motioning our number 3 and therefore usually smallest reciever into block on 3rd and short. Dude you are a smart guy stop making the numbers worse.

and that guy is not Evan Spencer.

I think he kindof is. He doesn't really make guys miss and fall forward.

I’m not sure if you forgot the /s? Out of all the running backs in the room, he’s the only one that does.
