Uh oh - They've figured out how to beat Ohio State.

OSU is down 2 starting OL from the beginning of the year and are playing a guard at LT.

We need to bring pressure.

Just think - if Indiana had that knowledge... or Tennessee or Oregon - they all could have whooped on Ohio State.
Oh wait, they all had that knowledge? And Ohio State still won handily? Hm..

I'm all in at -6

A little nervous at all the praise the Buckeyes are getting.

But there's also apart of me that believes they're on a mission from Woody himself finish this thing out.

I haven't heard great things about the Texas Oline, which bodes well for the Silver Bullets.

That said, Coach Sark has taken a Buckeyes defense behind the wood-shed once before. So if there's a great equalizer, it starts by winning the war up front on defense.

This is cracking me up. I’ve been following all this coverage, check in with BP, see you’ve posted the videos…

Can’t get enough.

This feels different. It feels special. Like 2014 3 game stretch special. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I can’t help it, either. This just feels like the writing is on the wall.

 

[scarletngray]

One thing is clear: The Buck's are peaking right now. And, yes, it does feel like 2014.

 

[BUCK3YE5]

Yeah, after beating Bama in 2014 I was never so certain of a victory as I was about beating Oregon in the Championship...that team was on a mission, playing at another level and nothing was going to stop them.

This feels exactly the same right now. If we play our game and stay healthy, it's ours.

 

[BUCK3YE5]

I should hope so. He's damn near 40

I think that makes him a man.

It’s bound to happen during a run. I think this team has the right mindset now, and they’re not going to sleep on Texas or any remaining opponent. I’d be a bit more concerned about it happening with ASU, but these guys are locked in.

Under the plain language of the rule "When in question, it is a foul," this should have been ruled targeting.

I'll say it WAS targeting too.

 

[Buckeneye]

I'll say it WAS targeting too.

I struggle to call this targeting as the rule was initially intended/created.

Eyes up, run through chest. A bit of ear to ear from helmets, but anyone who has ever played knows you bang buckets and pads.

I don't see a launch, that's chest to shoulder.


For me, it's one of those, if this is targeting, then you're going to have to start calling it multiple times per game if this rep is somehow within the rule standard.


Meanwhile, this was Bosa's vs NoD....

I said it live, and I still stand by it. Looked like a good solid play on the receiver to me.
