Game Thread Ohio State at Michigan State, 11/19/16, 12p ET ESPN/WatchESPN

[Poe McKnoe]

1:15 left from your 20 yard line, in a tie game, where it's snowing and windy, and you get the ball to start the third, with an anemic passing attack, and you want to try to score?

OK.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

So, the game plan is run JT into the ground?

If it's not 70 degrees with mild winds, that's always the gameplan. Unfortunately for them, they're going to have to find some creativity when Burrow takes over

 

[UrbanBuckeye]

Hey guys...

Do you have a problem with play calling or something?

#predictable

that's all I'm gonna say about that first half

Not predictable, just dumb. Getting too creative is arguably costing us points. They should have run Webber all freaking first half. Sparty couldn't really stop him.

 

[martinss01]

yea, I thought they were taught to stand on the 6-7 and don't go back to get the ball.

probably best to NOT count yard markers when your standing past the twenty and end up back peddling inside the 5 to make the catch. guys who have been handling punts for years know not to do this. guys who haven't handled more than a handful of punts in the last 3 years typically speaking, do not.

I see only 1 option. Put a dome on the Shoe before the tsun game.

Seen this movie before.

This team goes brain dead against MSU. And weather.

Just win, please.

 

[HenryMuto]

We are losing to a team that lost to Maryland.

OK.

We have 2 TO, we were moving the ball pretty well there, and I believe it was well past the 20 yard line. You try and go for points.

Dantonio must slip something into Meyer's drink the night before these games. Something about Sparty just causes Meyer to lose his mind.

Dantonio appears to be Urb's kryptonite....

 

[Systems_id]

Here's hoping this more resembles the Michigan game last year where it was close for a half only for OSU to blow the doors off of them in the second.

 

[Telekinesis]

Well, 0-0 ball game. It starts now. Gotta come out and put the nail in the coffin quickly, which this team is fully capable of doing.

 

[HorseshoeFetish]

Are you saying 300,000 of these won't work?

 

[Buckeneye]

Ultra conservative like that is exactly how you lose this game

Disagree. Conservative early, putting the hands in the game of your running game until you land big body shots does wonders. The ball action to Curtis?

Keep setting that up but you can't if you give Weber one carry every 5-6 snaps.
