It is not possible to rough Ohio State's passer. It is not possible to hold an Ohio State rusher. It is not possible to have a late hit or to target an Ohio State player.

You kids stay off my lawn!
I'd watch that.
"When you're lost in Columbus and it's Thanksgiving time too
And your ego is up and reality doesn't register with you
Just don't put on any airs when you're down on Woody Hayes Avenue
They got some hungry players there and they'll really make a mess outta you

When I first read this I couldn’t make head or tails of it…. Then I read the post you quoted… I read through it again… in Bob Dylan’s voice… it made perfect sense
I think it’s best to the tune of “Always a woman to me”, but you could sing those words to any Dylan song

Wrong glass, Sir.
OSU-Lite gave up 44 to Central Michigan. Yeah, I think Knowles is for real.

Too soon old, too late smart
Loved it when Knowles said "I expected this". Well, the Buckeye fantatics hoped, but didn't expect, such an immediate turnaround. Let's keep it up for this entire year, please. Also of note, that Xichigan fans said that Day is trying to emulate Harbaugh. I said "What?" Listen, we were playing Tresselball before you were born. It was called 'three yards and a cloud of dust' back then, and then evolved into Tresselball. Thank you Woody and Jimbo. Go Bucks!

Had a great turnout for the game watch and had a lot of fun. I'll start by saying that's a great win and getting challenged out of the gate will pay dividends, and the coaches know that. ND played very well and I don't want to negate their play, they did a great job preparing for this game and played their asses off. Here are my bullet points (in no order of importance, just as I watch it chronologically) after getting a chance to watch the game again:
1. So cool that Ohio guys ended up making big plays. Eichenberg, X Johnson, Hall were all fantastic. I thought Eichenberg would take a shine to this defensive scheme and man he was a monster out there for us. Probably gets the game ball from me.
2. Ransom was an unsung hero that made so many critical plays. He may not be a "starter" when you read the depth chart, but he's one of the most important guys on this defense. Always thought he'd be a star, I think we're seeing it come to fruition. Safety play in general seemed very good, Hickman and McCallister also showed up.
3. Defense as a whole looks like a new team is out there...I don't think ND is an offensive juggernaut, but more than capable. That offense would've scored 30+ on us last year. I'm buying Knowles and company being the real deal for now.
4. Mike Hall is going to be a star here, dude is quick, strong and violent. Going to be a monster 3-tech. Special powers with that man, he's going to be really fun to watch. Plays with so much fire, love that kid already.
5. Offensive play calling couldn't be much more vanilla than that, apparently the Tressel tribute extended to our playbook. We can be so much better on offense than what we showed. JSN being out hurt, but still need to be better than that.
6. Not a great night overall for Stroud, missed quite a few throws he usually makes in the first half. Also several instances where yet again he could have run for the first down without even getting hit, but instead tried to throw to a guy that was well covered. That has got to get better. But I'll give him credit for making plays when it mattered the most in the second half. His stats will be huge this year, but he did gut out a great win.
7. Zero points in the second half, unreal. Game ball actually goes to the entire defense. That said, Cam Brown looks like a liability, wouldn't mind seeing JK and/or Hancock mix in.
8. I'm beyond happy for Xavier Johnson, he works so damn hard as a walk on and puts up huge plays on the big stage. I hope he has a huge year this season, but either way he etched his way into Buckeye lore on Saturday with that performance. Catches a huge go ahead TD, then runs down on the kickoff to tackle the returner behind the 20. Legend.
9. Meatball! Miyan, what a damn performance, ran angry like the entire ND defense insulted his mother. Love the way he runs the ball. Really closed out the game for us and we needed that. But maybe even cooler is Henderson getting amped on the sideline to see his fellow RB seal the deal, could have been pouting for not being on that drive, but instead was a great teammate and you could tell how happy he was for Miyan. A lot of respect for Tre, that's something not many people would catch, but he deserves recognition for that. Then he comes in and rips a 13 yarder the next drive to get the nail much closer to the coffin.
10. Chambers had a hell of a game too, feel very confident with him and Tommy at LB, with Simon more than capable coming in.
Hey, wasn't the prettiest win in program history but give ND a lot of credit for playing tough. We're 1-0 and the chance to go 2-0, and stayed relatively healthy. Very proud of this team. Go Bucks.

My two cents on Day's passing obsession is that he is giving the 11 on the offensive as much game experience on those plays as possible so they can more flawlessly execute them when they need to against, say, State Penn or scum. Also, film material to learn from.
And maybe saving the RB's for a long season ahead. Recall that we didn't have Clarett in there for most of the second half of that season, though I realize he was the main back and a freshman.

Our church has no bells.
Catching ND in the first game at night, at home when they were lit the fuck up and had the whole offseason to prepare for us, last year's team would've dropped this game the way it went. This, imho, was a great win for us and, while there's a long way to go, makes me feel better about our chances at the back end of the season. This team can compete with uga and Bama; 2021, obviously, wouldn't have been able to. That is testament to Day's management of the program and blowing up the defensive staff when he did and bringing in the right team, and the work that the staff and players put in since January. Now, they just have to keep getting better so that they're peaking at the right time. I feel great about this team going forward and it's been a few years since I've thought so after our first games in previous seasons.

If I recall, Freeman said his defensive game plan against THE was to stop the run? But the deep safeties suggest that his plan was to stop the pass???? So Day eventually obliged him by running it down his throat.
Call it ND misinformation.
