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

[Captain Buckeye]

To look at it another way...

OHIO STATE IN THE FIRST HALF TODAY: 26 points

EVERYONE ELSE IOWA HAS PLAYED IN THE FIRST HALF: 25 points

That's wonderful...

But 7 came from the defense and the "best offense" has kicked 4 fieldgoals despite elite field position.

Have to figure that these things happen but damn... I didn't think we'd be this toothless on offense.

 

[LovelandBuckeye]

To be fair, I was 4 in 1981.

Samesies!

 

[Captain Buckeye]

Will the offense turn it on in the 2nd half, or will they still look "offensive?" (BTW, I don't think it's because iowa's D is so good)

Fucking better... otherwise we have a beast of a way to beat ttun.

 

[MGMT]

This cannot happen against UM it will absolutely murder us; Day and Wilson need to figure this out because this will literally kill your season

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Because of the defense though.

Turnovers created and field possession created as well.

Did JSN re injure the hammy?

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

The short fields have actually made things difficult for Ohio State to rack up yards today. Most snaps have been in a compacted field. Fewer yards available.

26 points in 133 yards is by far the highest offensive efficiency of the year in spite of all the field goals.

 

[Captain Buckeye]

That's about as Iowa as it gets here

Stroud is off and Miyan looks like he is missing his 2nd and 3rd gear.

But they apparently can hold on the outside with Impuntiy

I swear I don't know how some of you ever survived the Tressel years

Did JSN re injure the hammy?

Appeared so.

Halftime takes:

Give Knowles a raise
Give Knowles a raise 2.0
Ryan Day's offense is not RZ friendly and he needs to address that if he wants to be elite
PI calls are sometimey...all levels of football need to address this
Our RBs are not healthy...that is deciding playcalling. Load management is more essential.
Give Knowles a raise
Mirco and Ruggles are F'n BOSSES
To the fans...look at the marathon, not the sprints. Just win.
Give Knowles a raise.
Fuck Michigan.

I'm with you except for the RZ stuff. The offense has been great in the RZ this year. Offense looks like a bit of a mess overall today. Not ready to be concerned with RZ offence quite yet.

Did JSN re injure the hammy?

Appeared that way to me..

Stroud has looked off, and if the refs threw flags it would be altogether different. Strouds body language is negative...haven't seen that in the past.
