Game Thread Ohio State 43, Youngstown St. 0 (Aug. 30)

Is it just me, or did Robo come up looking like he hurt his arm on that TD catch?

He had shoulder issues last year and it looked like he was favoring one there.

Edit: It's not just me. Now the announcers are talking about it.

Looks like a shoulder Al..

26-0 at the half...could be a lot better, but on pace for a 52-0 win. I'll take it :).

GO BUCKEYES!

Not too worried about the offense not looking sharp. Lots of freshman play, switching things around, personnel-wise. We clearly have this team out-classed. JT will not allow this thing to run full bore. It's a good chance to get everyone out there in front of the crowd and settle everyone in a bit.

The QB gets too much credit and too much blame. If our receivers can't get separation against YSU, I'm starting to think that Boeckman is not all of the problem.

 

[buckeyebri]

Seems like a lot of extra curricular activity by the Penguin defense. Doing a little wrenching and laying on Beanie. Some questionable uncalled late hits on TB on a couple of plays.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

DL looks improved. YSU is supposed to have a good veteran OL too.

 

[utgrad73]

Incredible throw but if he tries to stick it in there against safeties like the ones USC has, it's going the other way. I hope Todd is just working the rust off.

I have to agree, even TB needs to get over a few jitters. The second have may see TP and JB working it. I like the TP pitch option to Saine. What happened to Dane?

Exactly. I think we'll see the first team offense on the field for one more drive just for a bit more game work then they'll be done for the day.
