Minny's punter just dropped the ball on the 5 yard line, while trying to punt with a 3-point lead and a little over 30 seconds to go. Wiscy scores go-ahead TD on the play.

Maroney ends up with 258 on the ground.

god i would have grabed it and threw it out of the endzone and take the safety if i saw presure like that, instead of trying to get the punt off with 5 guys infront of me, that still gives you the 34-33 lead

Sad thing is this debacle by Minny could come into play for our slim hope for a big ten title....

If we win out, and Wiscy beats PSU

we need Wiscy to have another big ten loss...best chance is probably Wisc. v. Iowa


I'd be surprised if we won out anyway, unless our offense wakes up....

I agreed with your whole post until the last quote. I hope you were kidding or just have yet to watch the MSU game yet.

I was at the game (season tickets 8C)..i'm as big a buckeye fan as anybody, and I hope we win out. we seem to do very well against below avg. Defenses so it could happen if we keep improving...but you gotta admit that performance was less then steller...the score was certainly not very telling.

If you take the fact that we didnt even get the ball twice when we should have, and fumbled two times, once when we were putting together a nice drive that is at least 15 more plays. We averaged 9.4 yds/play so that would be about another 150 more yards. Would that of made you happy. You can't blame the fact that special teams turned it over twice on the offense.

special teams also scored a TD and blocked another FG, and gave us the ball at the MSU 19yd line

It would have made me happy if we would have had at least 1 sustained drive against a poor D.

The first time we were in the redzone all day was after Holmes ount return.

the game did have some positives I agree.. the pass rush was great, and we finally threw the ball downfield successfully.

I'm just saying the last two performances I've seen don't give me confidence that we are gonna run off 5 straight wins. (including road games against scUM and Minn). If we improve like we did at the end of last year, we'll be fine.

We average 9.4 yards per play only because we got 74 yards on two missed tackles. By the way, the "special teams" guys that turned the ball over twice are also--guess what--offensive players. Two of our three "sustained" TD drives happened because the Michigan State back seven forgot how to tackle. Now, would we have scored TDs on those drives anyway? No one knows. But I'm not willing to give total credit to the offense for our scoring outburst since one TD came on a special teams play and another came on a 1-yard drive. We made significant improvement over the Penn State debacle, but that should've been expected.

Well they are offensive players, but the knock on the offense over the past couple of weeks were we didnt have the stats and this and that. That has been what people are asking for isnt it.

Do you discredited Reggie Bush's tds when he breaks a long run.

First off the guys broke tackles and made big plays just what we have been waiting for. Also the one drive started from the 19 and Pittman had the big run up the middle to get us to the one.

I guess anything else I would mention is already in my breakdown of the game thread.
