Game Thread Game Five: #1 Ohio State 38, #13 Iowa 17 (9/30/06)

[Cicero]

I have never seen a game in which a team has not had one penalty called against them! What the hell is going on with these refs???

It's terrible, they had 97 from behind by his armpits. It was blatant.

 

[exhawg]

He turned upfield before the snap!!!

Don't rely on the refs to call anything to help OSU. Even if they should.

 

[BuckeyeCity]

man Ted Ginn just does not look explosive when he has the ball anymore. He's taking too long to decide what he wants to use and isn't using his speed properly.

 

[scarletngrey11]

Not trying to complain about calls here... but I would love to see how dominate our DL could be if they would call holding...

 

[BrutusMaximus]

Dont like the prevent shit. Most worthless defense in the world. Might as well just let them score on the first play if you're gonna play D like that. Normally you dont see that from the Bucks, but sure did there. Coulda had about 3 picks there too if Mitchell and JO were lookin for the ball.

Especially in college, where the clock stops on every first down - it's not even a good defense to chew up the clock.

you can't dance on kickoff returns. I don't know why he tries.

Agreed but a TD is honestly the best thing to happen for that...someone wil have to gamble. Tress or Heacock.

It's not the scheme, it is the holds and illegal stuff. We are playing 11 on 14 right now.

 

[notfadeaway]

way too fucking passive I love ya jt but come on...

 

[tibor75]

you can't blame the prevent. They had 2 4th downs on that drive. Gotta stop them on those.

 

[scarletngrey11]

Mr. Clutch... I mean Gonzo with another 3rd down...

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Eh, Nicol was holding on the second down play.

Man, it looks like the Iowa line is lining up offsides almost every play.

 

[Cicero]

That play was just pretty.

 

[BrutusMaximus]

That 2nd down there when they gave to Pitt for a loss. Did anybody see the tight coverage up top on Ginn. You go deep there, he probably scores.
