Game Thread Ohio State @ Indiana, 08/31/17 @ 8:00 ET (ESPN)

That TD belonged to Dobbins, but we’ll take it.

Disappointing so far. Our QB needs to make some throws this drive, our defensive secondary needs to do their jobs, and our fans need to relax. Still early.

It is early.

It also has a distinct Groundhog Day feel to it. Seen this kind of slow start soooo many times.

woody's up there all like, "well, of course, you dumbasses."

"Oh, and fuck you and that picture Corso, you superfluous dweeb"

I get it. Heat of the moment bitching. But I'm not seeing much different than last year. Indiana is a decent team, but they shouldn't be on pace to throw for 500 yards on OSU. I don't care how green the secondary is.

I know what you mean, but the dline hype is real (this year anyways). Indiana is doing a heck of a job of getting rid of the ball fast. Next week vs Mayfield is going to be interesting.

 

[Drubuck]

Dobbins. I like him.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Oh yeah, a touchdown. Those are fun.

Back in my day, we scored a lot of those. Hopefully they unclogged the drain.

A turnover or 3 and out would be sweet here

For all the [Mark May] we've seen thus far, one positive...Dobbins looks like a big time player.

Definitely impressed so far.

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

Hot takes from Texas:

Running the ball is a great thing to do.
Dobbins + Webber should be filthy
Run the ball to pass. Not the other way around

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

Fire Beck. Fire Fickell.

fickle pickle!

 

[Bestbuck36]

Dobbins 100 yards in the first half of his first career game. Bad mofo comin at the rest of the country

 

[Poe McKnoe]

A turnover or 3 and out would be sweet here

And no 3rd and long conversions deep in IU territory?

 

[bukIpower]

I'm fine with everything besides lack of different coverage looks from our defense...

 

[Onebuckfan]

hit the QB once

Yep, and if we keep hurting them with the run it's amazing how much more open those receivers will get later. Teams get so enamored with pass, pass, pass. Indiana has to do it. We should be able to run on them. By not trying to, we're playing into their hands. I hope we've learned that now.
