Nebraska vs tOSU, Noon ET, Oct. 24, FOX

The ball still needs to be catchable.

Despite Klatt's complaints, you generally don't get the uncatachable argument unless the ball is way off where the receiver was. This ball fell very close to the receiver so I don't really agree that it was uncatchable. That being said, it did look like a bang-bang type of play and too close to call PI. I would put in the realm of 'tough call' from a corn perspective.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Well after watching my first half of football the entire year, the lack of fans really sucks. I think the only team in the country that is used to that might be Cryami.

Hope #2 is okay.

You've seen PI called on less catchable balls.

Defense looked like they were running in quick sand the 1st quarter. Saw some life and some better play in the 2nd that gives me hope.

Gave me flashbacks from 2 years ago there for a bit

 

[kujirakira]

The fake sound really trips me out.
Is this a horseshoe thing? Fox? B1G?

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Guess who’s only up 24-14 on a 1-4 team.

A team that got blown out by Liberty?!

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

OL - disappointing in the run game, but picked up the blitz better than last year
Fields - Better on 3rd and medium, better vs the blitz
RBs - Not JK, but we knew that
WRs - Corn has no answers
TEs - Who?

Defense - 2020

You've seen PI called on less catchable balls.

Plus you know it's real easy not to run through the back of the reciever when the ball is 5 yarrds away

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Guess who’s only up 24-14 on a 1-4 team.

yeah, but did you see how Syracuse hung tough with Liberty last week? They only lost by 17!

Halftime: Ohio State 24, Nebraska 14

Buckeyes get the ball to start the 2nd half, so it should be 31-14 pretty quickly.

Justin Fields was 12/13 for 187 yards and a TD. His only incompletion was a "drop" (tough catch) in the end zone by Chris Olave on a 43-yard pass. If Olave comes down with the ball, Fields is a perfect 13/13 for 230 yards and 2 TDs ... in the first half.

Garrett Wilson is a super stud. He's NFL-ready right now ... and he's just a true sophomore. Chris Olave is not far behind, but Wilson has better physicality right now.

With Olave and Wilson stretching the defense deep, shouldn't our TEs be open underneath? Probably a stupid question - Ohio State never throws to the TEs regardless.

Master Teague finally had some success running quick hitters right up the middle behind Myers and Davis. Fields is running too much.

Defense is playing in vintage 2018 form, getting burned with QB draws and passes to TEs (who always seems to be SO wide open). Haskell Garrett, who was doubtful to play after getting shot in the off season, has been a major disruptive force. Zack Harrison has shown flashes ... Jonathon Cooper, not so much.

Josh Proctor needs to play more.

 

[Hetuck]

Is it possible nebraska just doesn't suck?

It would be better for the B1G if they didn't.

 

[Steve19]

Remember the first half last year? I'm looking for a repeat in the second half.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

I think 2 things can be true in that OSUs OL and front 7 have struggled, but Nebraska will have not a great, but an annoying offense. Capable of a hundred misdirection and QB run plays.

Martinez is solid passing, but he can be rattled. Just a matter of building the lead and pressuring him.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

The ball still needs to be catchable.

No shit? This is the first football game I’ve ever watched.

It’s usually easier to decide what’s catchable and not catchable if the receiver isn’t face down on the turf.

 

[buckeyebri]

Was thinking we might see Johnson in the defensive backfield today.
