Iowa @ tOSU, Sat Oct 22, 12pm, FOX

[dragurd]

For sure better in the second... my concern is our rushing offense though. Couldn't get anything going there and that's a concern.

The problem I think is they Telegraphed their runs and didn't switch out of when Iowa was run blitzing with 7 or 8. By the time the Passing offense got going there wasn't much switching it up to keep them off balance.

Then the last 2 drives we went patented Day turtle ball with the backups in though they threw it at least.

Meanwhile I randomly switched over to Tennesee wondering how that game wasn't over and their 3rd or 4th string QB was still throwing almost every down up 65-21.

We'll know for sure next week if we can't run on that team TSUN carved up

54-10
6 TOs by the Defense - 1 for a TD
158 yds allowed by the Defense
10 TFLs and 5 sacks
Against the number 2 Defense in the Country:
Stroud 20/30 and 4 TDs
Ruggles 4/4

I’m pretty good with it for an off day….

There were somehow only 5 sacks? it felt like a lot more

Here’s what I learned from today’s game, after thrashing a team with a better defense than any other they’ll face this season, OSU once again proves that it has yet to face the system it can’t figure out and destroy. OSU without JSN is like Cedar Point without Steel Vengeance. Amazing fun day, not quite what it could be.

And only gave up 3 points thanks to a nice PI call

Iowa has been held under 170 3 times this year and 160 twice lol.

 

[Drubuck]

Not sure if this was mentioned. Prior to today, Iowa has give up 59 points in 6 games. Buckeyes almost topped what 6 teams combined put on them. Food for thought.

I tip my hat to Iowa's LBs all day...
and their DL the 1st half

 

[Steve19]

Stroud needs to stop staring down his receivers. It was clear that Iowa had their eyes in the backfield the entire game.

See I would but in the 2nd half Carperter was a bitch a trying to cause a scuffle with one of our OL after the play

 

[Bborg140]

If I were an Iowa fan, I’d consider 14 of those 15 possessions to be offensive.

Yep. Their QBs have absolutely sucked for years. The current ones are turnover machines. If they can’t recruit one any better than that, they’ll never seriously contend for anything.

his butt hurt.. poor guy

On that note, I don’t think it’s something a quarterback can just simply stop doing (not saying you’re saying it is) but he can’t just wait for receiver z to get open; you have to scan, decide then pull. It’s concerning for sure.

That's just it..an off day and we still scored 47 points vs a team that's never given up this many.

IMO, shit just gets weird when we add JSN back in. They do exactly what they said we shouldn't do which is force things. You could feel that all first half especially.

Then JSN goes out and the offense starts producing again.

I'm not saying we are better without JSN but we certainly try too hard with him.

Not having a running game and giving up a touchdown via our offense cannot continue though.

First half could have been worse if not for a bs flag against Dewand on the play Stover made it to the 3 yard line on a reception.
I missed the second half, unfortunately. Judging from the score, I guess Iowa's defense continued to "dominate," lol. It seemed like Klatt was constantly exaggerating how well they were playing. Kept the Hawkeyes in it but wasn't dominant.
