No 80+ yard touchdown!!!11!1!11111



Yet....


Baby steps..

 

[Steve19]

An entertaining half? Like going to the dentist type of entertaining?

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

Apparently Ohio State forgot how to play fucking defense

 

[Systems_id]

Still adjusting to the loss of Bosa, but that doesn't explain the breakdowns in the secondary. Can't rely entirely on a pass rush.

I mean the defensive line hasn't been dominant by any means, but is it too much for the back 7 to do their jobs for one game?

 

[buckeyes_rock]

I don't understand what our D line is doing...we haven't touched their QB. Not even going to start about the secondary. Our Offense is elite...our defense is below average. Sad, but that is who we are this year unfortunately.

Silver lining: Trace McSwirly's outstanding performance last week doesn't look so great now, does it?

Bucks played him slightly better than Appalachian State.

I shudder to think of this defense going up against Bama's 60+ offense at this point. Lots of work to do between now and that potential match up.

Bama's defense actually didn't look so hot today so we'd only get beat 50-30.

Are you going to tell me IU’s offensive line is elite? Is it some impenetrable wall?

The fuck is this.

 

[buckeyes_rock]

IU put up 451 yards and 24 points against Rutgers last week and the week before that they had 301 yards and 21 points against Sparty. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this defensive performance.

 

[Systems_id]

I guess Fickell did actually mean a lot to this defense because it's gone straight down the tubes since he's left.

 

[Ryan36_1]

Would a team made up of our 2017 offense and 2018 defense be bowl eligible? I have serious doubts.

Reposting during the half. I struggle to see these two units winning more than 7 or 8.

And Michigan State is horrible.

And Michigan State is horrible.

Exactly

Offense doing good with the exception of the two turnovers.
Defense is being exposed big time. No pressure. Coverage is weak. Bad angles. Missed tackles. The D has taken a step backwards.

So... what is the 2019 recruiting class looking like for DBs and Safeties?
