Game Thread Ohio State 16, Purdue 3 (Oct. 11th)

[Jake]

Ugh...no good.

What a wasted opportunity.

Don't think the booing was necessary, though.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

This seems like the "breakout" game we've been waiting for out of Malcolm.

That was last week.

 

[Steve19]

Offense not helping the defense. We need to convert those kinds of opportunities into points.

 

[morbitzerker]

Those ungrateful bastards are booing everything. The play call, the attempt, that players.

I wish I were there to cheer for the team.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Why oh why oh why does the OL fucking refuse to block for Mo Wells? Mo has, what, 3 carries, and has gotten shit for blocking on each carry. Conversely, they blow open a huge hole for Beanie to get 20+ yards.

Pryor looks a tad tentative today...

RB injuries hurting bad this week

 

[PlanetFrnd]

Hines should have had that ball... 2nd and 1 beer guys

 

[buckeyebri]

Defense seems to be moving around a lot and screwing with Painter's head....I like it....

 

[Pryor2Posey]

The boo-birds are out again....

I know you don't like them, as neither do I. But they aren't ALWAYS a bad thing. They were initially booing the choice not to go for it. They want to see our explosive players make explosive plays, don't you? I don't mind that. I do mind the booing after he missed.

 

[BuckeyeMafia]

I don't see how we come up with play calls sometimes. Beanie gets 10 yards a carry and we step away from the run. Pryor has a hot hand, so we run option? I guess it just all comes with trying to see what works..

 

[Jake]

Growing pains will be part of the process with Pryor. Fans in the stands need to be patient as the good still outweighs the bad, and he'll keep getting better.

Meanwhile, we're up 10-0.

 

[Steve19]

Reminder: Purdue ranked 108th in total defense in NCAA.

We should be able to run and pass against these guys.

 

[PlanetFrnd]

The middle of our DLine is wide open - guaranteed 2-3 yard push

 

[morbitzerker]

Homan is playing tough this season. I like his intensity.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

That read option up the middle is golden every time against us. We have to figure out a way to stop that or Illinois and PSU are going to toy with us.
