Notre Dame @ tOSU, Sat Sep 3, 7:30PM (ABC)

If I wasn't such a homer I would've taken the 17.5 points. Bucks were rightly favored but that line was ridiculous.

As bad as that half was, it's only a 3 point game.

 

[Bestbuck36]

We'll get it going but we have to keep trying to run the ball. We're getting positive yardage but Day gets impatient with those kinds of drives. Stick with it and we'll bust a few then those safeties come up and we go over the top.

 

[BB73]

In 1995, ND led 17-14 at the half in the ‘Shoe.

Final score: 45-26, Buckeyes.

 

[Gunlife]

I just don't know why our offense was supposed to be better than last year when we lost 2 recievers to the first rd of the draft. Lots of kinks to work through. Needed a cupcake. But I am confident coming out of half

 

[Telekinesis]

Well, that went about as well as it could for ND and it’s a 3 point game. Need to come out swinging in the second half.

 

[woofermazing]

If this were last year and an opponent was 2/7 on 3rd at half time, I'd be ecstatic.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Weasel a win somehow and send the hype train 3 Heisman candidacy south.

We were willing to give the ball to Eddie George then

Started to run more at the end of the half. If ND keeps 2 deep safties, OSU will run more. Maybe use some screens to get Henderson involved in the pass game.

 

[Gothmog8]

I expected 37-21 and so it just proves every game is a crapshoot and heart attack contender

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Well, at least we can forget about Stroud for Heisman now...

 

[BuckyKatt]

Defense looks "somewhat" better than last year.

Offense looks like it did in last years opener against Minny, slow and lethargic.

Let's hope they make some half-time adjustments and things start to click...

 

[Bestbuck36]

That Bryce Young highlight is what we'd love CJ to do. Run the open yardage and take as much as you can then get down. No hero but you have to threaten the defense.

That will be a serious boost to the running game just being a threat to hang on to it.

Defense is playing a ton better just a couple missed tackles. That will hopefully get better and better.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Started to run more at the end of the half. If ND keeps 2 deep safties, OSU will run more. Maybe use some screens to get Henderson involved in the pass game.

Agreed, they wanted to run the ball this year but definitely didn’t show it in the first half.

Re: incomplete throw.

You either snap it off underneath and present your numbers, or you break it back upfield against that corner who sat in a cloud and let your QB put it right on you instead of being lead to space.

Still had a shot at catching it, but a poor shot at best.
