Game Thread Ohio State vs Florida Atlantic - 08/31/19, 12:00PM (FOX)

I watched the Cinci UCLA game. Not inspiring. You can bet that Fickell will have them ready for the Buckeyes.

You know you're a good team with a spoiled fan base when a 45-21 win isn't satisfying enough, but that's the Buckeyes' fault.

Hope to see some growth from this one when the Juggalos come to town next weekend.

It’s what I was trying to say in the prediction thread. Getting outscored 21-14 for 3/4 of the game is something the coaching staff WILL use

Sing along, Justin! The lyrics are on the scoreboard.

Actually, I think I saw a number of guys not singing. And coach Day wasn't front and center. They need to fix that.

Blame the media..he was giving post game interview... He hasn’t learned or earned the right yet to be like Urban and say “ i gotta go join my team”

Ehh I'd stay with Jenny as long as possible

Cinci didn't look great to me at all against what's sure to be a moribund UCLA team. If this team plays with 100% effort it should be a laugher imo.

Good. He's about to be murdered. Serious. Bearcats will be pelts comforting Brutus' feet by the fireside.

Haven't seen this mentioned so I will. Once Kiffin started attacking the weak spots in our zone they were able to move the ball (the middle). that was the difference on D.

I agree. The sloppiness from both sides was something I didn't expect.

Yeah UCLA is another 4 win team, at best.

BTW...Freshwater seems like he's about two cheeseburgers away from going full fat fuck. There is a critical threshold..and I think he's pushing it.

True. But no really big plays given up with the exception of one pass play for 38 yds. And they kept the FAU Offense to under 200 yds. I believe.

I'm just glad next week is not a night game in Cincy...

 

[NFBuck]

First 10 minutes: A+
Last 50 minutes: D

I'm hoping a lot of that was them just kind of buttoning things up once they had a comfy buffer and not wanting to show too much on film with a decent opponent on deck. There's some stuff to be happy about and maybe some areas for concern. We'll know more after next week.

Hard to gauge with that lead. Play pedestrian and not show anything or play on and that's the result? I'm going pedestrian.

He earned the right and the responsibility when he was named head coach. That was a glitch that needs to be fixed. I expect it will be.
