Game Thread Ohio State v Northwestern B1G Championship, @ Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN 12/1/18 8PM, FOX

[TampaBuckeyes]

Don't blame the refs on that drive. That was 100% on the defense on their heals, biting on fakes and not playing assignments.

Fuck Duracell, buy Energizer.

Fuck Duracell, buy Energizer.

Buy generic brand because who cares about batteries

go go go! It is TD time!

 

[Hetuck]

I don’t like speaking ill of our players, but let’s just say Damon Arnette will not be missed after he’s gone.

Prince either.

Still think the Bucks are gonna win, but this performance isn't going to "wow" anyone on the CFP committee.

no this will give them the “justification” they want to keep OSU out

 

[NFBuck]

One more game with this defense is one too many. God help us if there isn’t a significant staff shakeup.

Defensively, this is no worse than what Oklahoma has shown. Still think Oklahoma is the last team in, but just saying.

Oklahoma and Ohio State are extremely similar in that regard.

I don't disagree, but 45-48 to Texas doesn't look nearly as bad as 20-49 to Purdue - which is why they'll get in ahead of us.

Yep. Picked up yards in 16 yard chunks up until the TD run. Just bad D there

 

[Honor&Glory]

only thing slowing OSU’s offense is DAVE

Knowing Urban's history, I wouldn't bet on anything regarding staffing changes.

 

[Telekinesis]

Could probably have a TD on every other play if Haskins just starts ripping it deep. WRs have been absurdly wide open all game.

 

[bukIpower]

To be fair, NW didn't put up much of fight and Meyer shows no desire for style points so I can't blame the players for coming out disinterested

Yea see I'm picking up on this too... Slow tempo and conservative play calling.

IMO he doesnt want to do Fitz like that

Pretty sure Purdue 49, Ohio State 20 gave them that already.

I don't know WTF happened to our team that night.

He is giving NW d way to much respect. Where is the man who would choke you over checkers?
