Game Thread Ohio State @ Penn State - 09/29/18, 7:30PM (ABC)

Iowa

Okalhoma 2017 was no picnic either.

And then there was the 3-2 halftime lead against Akron back in 07 I think. That was fun.

Need at least a FG this opening drive.

Me trying to get back into the Kentucky Derby after getting kicked out

Bigger venue than I've been thrown out of. Had picture taken and put on a wall getting kicked out of a Dave and Busters. I'm going to try to go back in a year for 10 year anniversary is it's still there. Doubt it is. I win. Had all the drunks betting on balancing their drink on the legs of an upside down spinning bar stool. Drink that stayed up the longest got a free drink from the other 3 and myself.

Nope

We sucked for 30 minutes

And I thought we sucked for 30 minutes.

Great minds...

Dismal first half. Urban will light a fire at halftime.

Yep, this is when Coach earns his money.

 

[ScriptOhio]

The teams have combined for 3 accepted penalties of 15 total yards, despite 4 players having personal fouls on one play.

That looked to me like a Penn State guy with a dirty hit on Haskins, Haskins fighting back, and 2 more Ohio State guys trying to defend Haskins.

Considering what our talent is on offense that was the worst half offensively I've ever seen. It was so bad I went for a walk... never done that.

We shall see. These slow first half starts in big games have become an extremely worrying trend these past couple of years.

 

[mattynokes]

LBs have been fine... and shit outside of 1 play the defense has been lights out. That said Pryor once again got caught flat footed and you just can't do that as the last line of defense.

Agreed. 3 and outs on 5 of the first 8 drives doesn't help the defense. Holding them to just 13 is quite impressive, considering the offense had been non-existent until that screen.

Exactly what it was but understand refs wanting to take control of the game.

Feel like the atmosphere got to them

I don’t think the offense can play any worse in the second half than they already have, so we should be good to go right...

God I hope you're right.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Am I the only who noticed the crowd is starting to quiet down a bit? I think a TD on our first possession of the second half would seriously quite them down more...

This will show a lot about Haskins' mentality in adversity imo.
