Game Thread Game Ten: #1 tOSU 17, Illinois 10 (11/4/06)

Illinois blitzing is giving us trouble in that it is preventing us from throwing it deep. We have to settle for the shorter ball. Hopefully we make some adjustments and come out well in the second half. No one is playing bad though.

A workman like performance. I wouldn't mind seeing tOSU stretch the field vertically just to loosen up the secondary. #65 is having a good game for Illinois,we need to block him this half. Beanie would give me a heart attack in a close game, but he needs the carries if he is going to improve. Roll Bucks!

Things I care about that Tressel doesn't:
  • Troy's yards per attempt
    • I really wish he'd go vertical. He could give a crap.
  • Troy's streak of games with a TD pass
    • He doesn't care if we run them all in.
  • Troy's highlight film
    • expect another workman-like half


Exactly. We are on the road...JT just wants a win and another week of pressure for Michigan to endure.

Block him off? That is a bit of hyperbole eh? Cmon...relax. We are on the road...expect the worst. This is mild.

Yes, they where talking about it on the radio. saying like "That was un-needed" and stuff.
Also one of the commentators was talking about an an interview with I think coach danials. Did they show that and did I miss it?

...and again, I say big deal. Who cares? Its gamesmanship. The only way it works is if it bothers you or gets in your head...looks like it worked on you. Good thing you aren't the real Troy Smith afterall :)

interesting formation with the stacked WRs... that's a new twist...

edit: wow.Troy is impressive on his feet today...

playaction and a deep ball will soften up the D, and get all those guys out of the box. damn. Harline missed his block on the screen to Ginn.
