Game Thread Ohio State 34, Minnesota 21 (Sep. 27)

I'm concerned that Beanie appears to be dealing with a great deal of pain.

I hope I'm misreading it. It wouldn't be the first time.

It looked to me like he hurt his hand on that fumble play. Seemed to be holding later on the sideline.

One play where Pryor did not connect on a pass to Hartline actually made me smile.

The commentators blew their interpretation of events.

A safety blitz was coming from Pryor's blind-side. Pryor is drifting to his right. A split second before the safety gets his mitts on Pryor, with the QB not set he lofts what turned out to be an errant pass that Hartline could not adjust to and reel in.

Commentators summary - mistake by Pryor.

Missed point - Pryor has really good awareness for a freshman of that blind-side. He does exactly the right thing in getting rid of the ball, into an area where ONLY his receiver has any chance of reeling in the pass.

True, this was a failed result in terms of a completion. But, it was also a great result in avoiding a strip, a fumble or a sack.

Thanks for that sandgk!

Pass to Robo was a nice way to end the half. Watch the replay though... Looked for Robo from the snap to the pass. Lucky that Robo was as wide open as he was... won't be able to get away with that very often.

Either way, look'n good!

Stupid penalties. Time to get their heads in the game.

 

[sandgk]

C'mon Defense!

No penalties while the officials are airing out laundry.

Get the ball back!

 

[Steve19]

These penalties are not exactly what the coach ordered!

Nice play by Minny.

Threw in the spot the DB blitzed from.

 

[GrizzlyBuck]

Beanie may be dinged, but he is still running hard, and he adds a different dimension to the offense.

 

[OSUBuckeye4Life]

Gibson with the pressure.

Thrown away.

4th and 12.

 

[BB73]

Good pressure on 3rd down by Gibson forces an incomplete pass.

20-6 after a 28-yard FG.

Beanie=warrior.

Good stop by the D.

 

[daveeb]

Nice red zone stop by the defense. Time to respond.

 

[OSUBuckeye4Life]

Minny with the FG.

20-6.

Ohio State.

 

[utgrad73]

Held to a FG. Good effort by the defense. Tressel is going to be horse after this one.



Go Beanie

Gibson looks like he is out for blood on that play.

I really like the way he is being used as an extra pass rusher in those situations. Soon we'll see sacks and interceptions coming from his pressures.
