Game Thread Ohio State vs Army, 09/16/17 @ 4:30 ET (FOX)

Well, it's really very frustrating to think of what this talent could accomplish and then see the final product on the field. Hoping for halftime adjustments on offense but would not be surprised to see this end as a close game, either

 

[Gothmog8]

Site was down earlier? Got on just in time for halftime. Nothing to say... maybe halftime will be more exciting.

 

[scarletngray]

We are averaging 7.6 yards on 18 carries, so why the fuck have we thrown it 20 times?

Dobbins and Weber have 10 carries - combined.

The short passing game has been effective. But you have to give your RB's more than 10 carries in a half.

 

[NFBuck]

That had to be one of the most boring halfs of Ohio State football I have ever watched

Agreed. But, here's what makes me chuckle a little...we're on pace for almost 550 yards of offense. There was a time when we would look at that as a great game.

Passing woes or not, this is a huge problem.

 

[Onebuckfan]

We out coached them for a minute. Short kick, passing on 3 downs in the RZ, not using the running game, penalties. Etc etc etc

I don't mind working on tge passing game, but yeah, our RBs, especially a super talented freshman need double the carries.

Really it's tge defense that's pissing me off. Not going to win this game by much if every army drive is 7 minutes.

Shit drives me crazy. Srs. Has been a detriment to this team last 3 years.

 

[Jake]

Weber and Dobbins should have 10 carries EACH, not combined, at halftime.

Those last two drives were maddening. JT is struggling, we're averaging almost 8 yards a pop on the ground, so let's have him throw it over and over, again.

 

[Arch2H]

99 yard drive on the "Best D line ever"...

 

[OregonBuckeye]

We may as well be LSU-North at this point.

 

[Jake]

That's my point. We should not have more pass attempts than rushes when we're getting over 7 yards a run, and our tail backs need more touches.

 

[bukIpower]

1. JT still hasn't completed a pass that's considered intermediate

2. 1st and 10 at the 20 and we go 3 straight passes

3. 99 yard touchdown drive

4. 2 or 3 holding penalties

5. Good start and then Kevin tried to build off all the short throws and JT can't hit it.

6. What the hell has happened to baker? My god make a play.

7. We won't be elite until we find something better then Webb. Webb has been on the receiving end so many times. What a joke

Fuck it man we still don't run the ball with our backs, we still can't complete a pass past 7 yards for shit and of course it's too close of a game to get Haskins in.

 

[OhioState001]

You haven't been watching Ohio State football for too long then.

It's true.

 

[TooTall]

JK Dobbins 7 carries 63 yards 9.0 ypc
Barrett 6 carries 40 yards 6.7 ypc
Weber 3 carries 11 yards 3.7 ypc

Those aren't bad running stats, but that's too many carries from Barrett, and not enough from the RB's. Not allowing Weber to get into a rhythm is not good. Maybe he still isn't 100%, but feed the RB's.
