The Big 10 doesn’t want that .,we’d have 2 targeting and 10 penalties and multiple replay overturns to keep Indy close and in playoffs.

Then we better not fuck around if there’s a measure to make sure it’s close.

I agree that the impression the D gives you this year is that they give up far too many 3rd downs.
And yet they lead the conference in opponent 3rd down conversions at less than 32%. Imagine if they step it up because...
of this...
Every game from here on out is either a top 10 matchup or is The Game. Hopefully 6 straight games of must-win intensity.
As long as we're throwing out scores, I am honestly believing 31-16 right now. I believe Indiana is a really good team; by far the best the Hoosiers have ever had. And I think they're going to feel like it was worse than that score. I think the Buckeyes are going to maul them.

I agree the more I study the two.
I think OSU is going to take IU into the deep water and they aren’t going to know what to do with that. I predicted a 10 point win but I wouldn’t be shocked if IU gets points late to make it look close.

Obviously not a weekly occurrence but NW, Oregon and PSU all kept drives alive converting on 2nd or 3rd and long. Though, admittingly, it only really hurt us against Oregon.

Yep. Great adjustments by Jim but it seems like teams are coming out breaking tendencies right away and it’s taking 1-2 series for us to settle down.
This is what’s going to decide our year imo. The offense also doesn’t function early it seems like and offers little in tempo. So one of two things needs to happen.
1. The defense needs to get a stop on the first two drives
Or…
2. The offense needs to operate with some fire.
I don’t get why we can’t do both but this year it seems like it’s been one or the other.

Damn I remember this game as a kid…. That has to be my earliest memory buckeye wise.
Edited: ok never mind my earliest memory was the OSU Notre Dame series in the 90s.
I have big time memories of Andy Katzenmoyer in the late 90s though. Specifically that Missouri game hit.

It'd be nice if we could get a big return of a punt or kickoff to set up a score or even God forbid an actual return score but that's probably too much to ask
