Now, the Buckeye special teams and defense need to come out with attitude.

Awesome pass. First time I've seen a Buckeye receiver that wide open in a long time. Sexy right there

Almost looked like our defense was on the field...

 

[Jake]

Except underneadth the shoulderpads is not the neck area nor can it be confused with the neck area. It's a bad call...

Apparently, the officials on the field and the booth disagree with your interpretation.

I didn't make the damn rule. Email the NCAA.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Man, we could put up 70 on IU's "defense"...

Yeah, well, they can probably put up 70 on OSU's defense, too. :(

 

[Steve19]

I just love to hear the Buckeye fight song...

 

[BUCKYLE]

I don't like the rule any more than you, but he launched upwards and hit him above the shoulders as he was turning around. That was a textbook example of what they're gonna call. It's stupid, but it is what it is.

How can you hit someone above the shoulders without hitting their head?

THIS

How are DB's supposed to dislodge the ball if all they can do is wrap up? I'm not disagreeing with you; it's just a stupid rule.

Perfect form tackling dislodges the ball all of the time. Impact can still be the same but they can't turn sideways into the hit just run through the tackle.

Ok now we got momentum, let's work up the proper #6 on these ass munches.

 

[MD Buckeye]

My god Rod Gilmore is a fucking idiot. SHUT UP

 

[Telekinesis]

Welcome back, defense. Anger... do you have it?

No, he did NOT hit above the shoulders. Roby hit his shoulder into the receiver's shoulder and then slid upward. The rule doesn't say you can't hit the shoulders, it talks about not hitting the head.

Also, the player had possession of the ball and when you are turned around, its at your own risk. It wouldn't had been a foul had he hit him with his arms around him, right? So then he wasn't defenseless.

The ONLY thing they can get Roby on is a launch, thats it.

 

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

bad kick there by basil. entire team to the left and he kicked to the right.

 

[OhioState001]

Wilson is Evan Spencer now. Rod Gilmore quickly getting on my nerves

 

[Mike80]

I like how Rod the moron circles the field side safety like he was affected by the play action...he never even looked into the backfield

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

Rod is drunk.. He can't read the numbers
