Game Thread Ohio State @ Purdue - 10/20/18, 7:30PM (ABC)

Bucks need a big fast running back. Start recruiting Urbs. The balance is not there with our mighty duo. Need another Eddie George.

Or go back to coaching an O line that can run block and not allow the RB to get hit in the backfield before he hits to LOS.

How does everyone forget is took 31 points to Iowa AND two losses and it still was a close call???????????????????

I don’t see it in this team either..haven’t all year. But you all overestimate the effect of this loss on our playoff chances.

Can’t run when you have an Offensive Line that would have trouble pushing around a troop of Girl Scouts. If they are going to run, get rid of the damn RPO and slam the ball down the other teams throats.

Those girl scouts look pretty tough:

Fuck that. We need a Tourette syndrome kid. Would be fucking epic.

A cancer kid midget with Tourette's syndrome.

Umm the oline we have next year is gonna be a bunch of guys who weren't good enough to beat out the guys we currently have. And Martell is nowhere near Haskins at this point. Although maybe he will be better for Meyer's "system"

I don't buy for a second that our OL room isn't talented or good enough. Warriner came in, took basically scraps, and turned them into the best OL in a generation. Could generally run the ball on anyone. Only OL to have a single back rush for over 200 yards again mighty Alabama.

Get a good coach in there and I'd bet money the OL all of a sudden starts looking like a force again.

The thing I hate is that it feels like we're just turning into a supercharged, slightly more consistent version of Cooper's buckeyes. Too much "me-first, NFL-mentality DNA" with zero group accountability and a bunch of position coaches with giant egos that aren't living up to their abilities.

We have turned into a middle of the road big 12 team. Soft in the trenches

The running backs we have are just fine. The offensive line is a shit show. And the scheme is doing them no favors, either.

Well, it’s a long, angry ride back to Indy.

I’m ready to go scorched earth on every thing right now. Frustrating. That was really bad from Urban on down.

Got some hot takes but I’ll hang up and listen/read for now.

Who is also a bubble boy and needs to have a goat sacrificed on the hour, every hour, to keep his tics down to 120 an hour.

I thought we could lose this one. In fact we were flirting with disaster for quite awhile and I expected it to bite us in the ass eventually. But that was embarrassing. No fire.

Kirk is right. Who are the fire and brimstone locker room leaders without JT? Lots of captains and they're all great kids, but they're not vocal rah-rah guys as far as I can tell that will deliver a Tebow speech.

This was Ohio State and Purdue lining up against one another and doing exactly what each knew the other was going to do, and it was Purdue that kicked OSU’s dicks in.

Didn't have an undefeated Independent team last year

Poster on Surly notes 'Going to be a lot of bastards born 9 months from now in West Lafayette'. True dat...

Those sum-bitches won't sniff a MNC in the next 40 years, but they'll all sit around in 2058 reminiscing about that time they beat #2 Ohio State.

I have more faith in finding a big fast back that can run like a deer and plow plow through a Dline like cutting through butter.
