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

[Telekinesis]

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

Yeah, the defense is putting in work, I don’t care how bad Iowa’s offense is… without attacking the ball, having good hands and forcing punts/turnovers, this game isn’t 26-10 right now.

This D has been playing with an edge all season and it shows. They are sharp. Joel Klatt is just trying to make things sound interesting for Iowa, but the story should be the Buckeye D.

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

Many people didn't. I'd wager the 2002 season alone culled at least 1/3rd of OSU's fanbase.

Might be time for a re-culling

Had to put a couple of kids in time out. There's only so much whining I can take from 50 year old men with a 16 point halftime lead.

Thank God we aren't actually losing.

Did JSN re injure the hammy?

Looked like it might have started back up. Don't see him 2nd half and you'll have your answer.

 

[kujirakira]

My take - feels like we invested a lot of focus on JSN return, and he's not ready. The entire offense is off.
Just get Stroud and WRs back in sync, and learn from the lessons today. Because our future opponents will definitely be copying Iowa' D.

Also, apparently our zebra account is low on funds.

Petras PE: 43.686 - And that's with the officials calling the game completely lopsided

 

[dragurd]

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.

I saw it at times early last year but he's been much better.

 

[brutus831]

Need to figure it the running game because we're at 1.7yrds per carry on 17 carries. That's pathetic.

 

[Gothmog8]

Also, thank god games aren't won on people's opinions. All I hear is OSU O sucks and Iowa's D is amazeballs. You'd think Iowa was winning

I don’t know that we would have seen him in the second half either way. They were already talking about limited snaps before the game, but who knows… guess we’ll see.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Yeah they are getting their "hands on the WRs" Joel. It's called holding!

 

[dragurd]

Self inflicted wounds? Lol they are bad bro

 

[Gothmog8]

Well.. that's not a good start

 

[Bestbuck36]

JFC CJ. Thats just unacceptable. It's triple fucking coverage
