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

[Buckin Crazy]

We need to stop running it on 1st down...

whaddya bet Tressel calls the deep ball on the first play?

i lose... looks like Tressel will just milk the clock...

i know what the score is, but this is very frustrating. they didn't even try to move the ball...

Antonio is not gonna bounce that run outside like that today unless we take some folks out of the box.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

FUCK!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! I can't take this game anymore. The wind is what's stopping us. Illinois knows we can't go deep so they stack the box and blitz us constantly.

Reality Check:

We are undefeated.

We are on the road.

Up by 17.

Pitching a second straight shutout.

No injuries today.

The main goal is to win the National Championship...nothing else.


Damn.

 

[lvbuckeye]

Gholston nearly had a pick-6...

 

[Brutus654]

Defense puts 8 or 9 in the box on first and second down then pin their ears back on third down. We need to open it up a little bit.

dude. take a valium. Tressel knows what he's doing, which is milking the clock...

if- and that's a BIG if- Brasic puts together a scoring drive, Tressel will open it back up a little...

nope. stopped 'em... more clock milkage to come...

 

[Buckin Crazy]

Yeh, he needs too. I'm sure Quinn is putting up big numbers. Smith needs to get around 200yds passing and at least 1 TD.

Ya Quinn is getting like 45 attempts a game, so of course he is going to put up high yardage stats, it will eventually take it's toll on Troys Heisman campaign if Troy doesn't put up yards.

Pittman is averaging 1.7 yards a rush. That's just bad and you can't argue it's because of the 8 men in a box. College teams play with 8 or 9 in a box all the time and a good offense playing a bad team should still be able to get 4 a pop

 

[osugrad21]

Wow did everyone notice the athleticism on the DL during that twist?? I'd challenge ANY analyst in the nation to show me a more athletic DL.

Hey, I know we're going to win. I still hate seeing us not be able to execute.

Thank you.

After 5 years? Hell 17 pts is good enough for JT...until Illinois does something offensively, he will milk that clock.

LOL. i didn't say i didn't know it was coming, or even that i'm questioning the calls. it just doesn't have many (any?) aesthetic qualities...
