WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUCKEYES!!!!

D's playing well
O's playing pretty decent
Special teams playing well

keep on rolling Bucks!!!

The offense is struggling a bit, but this is a good defense. I think we can throw the ball a bit if Pryor can handle it. So far, doing it with his feet.

I'm happy with Pryor's decision making so far, I'm just a little sad about the execution of said decisions. Man a TD to Dane would have been sweet there. D played great per usual. Should be a nice second half.

GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone explain to me the wasted possession at the 1:30 mark.

Did someone say it? Or are you saying it was wasted?

I think if OSU's offense comes out passing in the second half, PSU will be shell shocked. They've been sneaking up on the run all game... Time to spread that D out again.

PSU gets the ball to start the second...need a big defensive stand to start us up on offense!

Someone explain to me the wasted possession at the 1:30 mark.

There was a contest at Krogers that three people could win to have JT call 1 play, those were the three winners. That should tell people the next time they say "I could do better" that's what three random super football fans came up with.

Or I could be wrong and it could just be 3 plays that didn't really work and JT wasn't comfortable throwing that close to our end zone.

Tressel has been criticized (and rightfully so) for his clock management at the end of the first half of the Purdue and USC games, but he managed the clock to perfection at the end of the first half of this game. Penn State is very lucky we didn't score there.

A good half, but it could've been better. Hopefully we can better capitalize on our opportunities in the second half, and win this game!

In theory, that sounds great. But TP has not been throwing it accurately. I'm a little nervous to let him start chucking it around our there. Maybe JT gets a little more creative with some other ways to move the football though. Pull out all the stops...whatever it takes to win this sucker.

They must take full advantage of their opportunities in the 2nd half. The D & special teams need to turn the field - again.

 

[WhoDeyForever]

Ah, still upset over that overthrow by Pryor to Dane right before the half..Should be at least 20-7 right now Buckeyes.

I'm loving this defense though.

Good job in the first half.

Coulda had a bigger lead, but let's move on to the 2nd half.

We have a great chance to take control of our own destiny in the second half now.

Great point.

OK guys <DEEP BREATH> missed on a couple opportunities but PLAYED well overall.


These Buckeyes are fired up in the locker room right now and know they got Joe poop and his team right where they want them. We'll be fine. Trust the second half gameplan.

and......LET'S GO BUCKS!!!

In other news, Clausen just fumbled, giving Navy their third stop of Notre Dame inside the 10 yard line. Midshipmen doing their best to handle our SOS for us! First Navy play for scrimmage went 39 yards straight up the gut to the 40!
