Game Thread Indiana at tOSU, Sat. Nov. 23, 12pm ET, FOX

Re-watching the game this morning and the absolute shit referees that did this game. So much uncalled OL holding and DPI for IU. Not to mention how inept they were at spotting the ball. Cignetti has no bitch here.

I was on the elliptical for the first quarter. My heart rate spiked during a few of those DPI calls. Measurably spiked.

It's about time the DL got their shit together. The pass rush on that first drive was so abysmal I was ready to throw myself off a building.

We got it together at the right time too. The only good thing about having no pass rush and a complete scheme change this late in the year is that teams don't have much film on it.

Something does have to be done about the slow starts. It hasn't bitten us yet (outside of Oregon), but it's going to eventually. Starting every game on our heels even when we get the ball first is just a waste. We are giving away a possession every game.

I'm not even sure what the issue is. Chip's first drive scripts too predictable?

Ohio State didn't start slow against Oregon on offense. They lead 14-6 with 14 minutes left in the second quarter. Unless you meant to say that Oregon was the outlier this season.

1. Nice subtle complaints about the officiating
2. Nice subtle digs at your team for just not playing well enough but not mention about possibly coaching better.

Total douchebag.

I watched Cignetti's post game presser. He was actually the opposite. He gave Ohio State and the crowd props multiple times.

Agree. He took the L like a man

 

[Tanner]

Solid "Uhia" by Cignetti in his press conference. Wonder if he is a fan of the "Cincinnata" Redlegs

They're still whining about the last touchdown.

Did Cignetti's Words Fire Up OSU?

With losses by Colorado, Mississippi, Alabama and BYU, it looks like Indiana will still make the twelve team NCAA football playoffs unless they stumble badly against Purdue. But I hope that Coach Cignetti learned a valuable lesson. You never say that any opponent sucks and you especially don't...

BTW, Day's approach at the end of yesterday's game is exactly why I typically root against the Big Ten. If he can't circle our wagons, don't expect me to circle theirs...

Say what you want about the SEC, but I think they definitely take a knee so their conference brother doesn't get knocked out of the CFP.

That little stunt will be talked about 30 years from now in Indiana football circles, count on it.

Looks more like a "brotherly shove" formation than a victory formation.

Edit - to be fair, the next guy seems cool:

We can't complain because they came out in a certain formation and didn't run what we thought they were going to run because that's what other people do.

That's not how this is done.

We've scored late touchdowns that didn't matter in games and people haven't said a peep but because this was against us, it's now a big deal.

The spot on 3rd down all the way back at the 2, when Henderson was halfway to the 1 was egregious. Changes the call from a tush push to whatever stupid shotgun nonsense we tried on 4th down.

Jalin Marshall's punt return in 2014 was the previous one the Buckeyes had for a TD. The rest of the season went pretty well...
