Game Thread Game Four: #1 Ohio State 28, #24 Penn State 6 (9/23/06)

That was an embrassing half of football by the number 1 team in the nation, the offense of old has been called all half and it showing.

Offense of old?? Jesus, don't start that...dropped passes, missed assignments, and poor execution all around.

The offense is the same as the first 3 games...we just are not making the plays right now.

Relax.

Try reading the rule book at halftime...you really need to.

Yeah right...just like the hit on UT's quarterback was a legite call...

I disagree... play calling has been fine, TS and company are not executing. The only one on offense who has looked good it Pittman.

There has been one down field throw, everything else under 7 or 8 yards. PSU could not cover ND slow wideouts, but they can gover a whole team of fast wideouts. I think not.

 

[Cicero]

Bad call or not, we should be executing on offense. The field goal should not matter at this point.

When its raining as hard as it was, it makes it difficult to execute any kind of offense. I wouldn't call it embarassing at all. Hopefully its letting up and we can start to move the ball.

I think the silver lining is that the nation is seeing how good our defense is. Even with the bad field conditions and poor offensive execution we are still very much in this due to the great play of our defense.

Relax.

I guess i am saying they are not trying to throw over 10 yards excpt for the pick. They are throwing short routes and what not.

Unfortunate...

fuck that... he was sliding on his belly across the grass... it was running into the kicker at best.

But it was a penalty.

Relax.

The O-Line can play better, and will.

But the dropped passes are freakin' killing me.

 

[Cicero]

We need to grind it out in the second half. Dominate time of posession and throw the occasional deep pass off play action.

RAIN.

To me the rain helps the offense they know the routes and what not and where the play is going, they should use that to there advantage, those balls are real dry as they are covered so that should not be a problem.

Agreed, but PSU is throwing some damn good coverages right now. They have Troy confused a bit...chalk that one up to Coach Dantonio from last week.

I'm looking for a big second half though..

Bad call or not, we should be executing on offense. The field goal should not matter at this point.

I bet Tressel would disagree with you.

With our offense, every point is important.

Relax.

The offense is the same, but they are just not making plays? does that make any sense?
