Worst case scenario, hoosier scores makes it a 1 score game and comes down to a critical 3rd down for the good guys. I hope I'm wrong and we get a pick 6 or house a punt return. This game is too close for my comfort. Very sloppy(with exception of the defense for most of the game) not sure why they have pounding the ball on the ground more when we all saw it was effective.

I dunno, throw a short pass to Curtis Samuel? Maybe I'm thinking too far outside the box here

huard said we have a lack of a consistent run game?

osu has run 46 times for an average of 5.8 yards. no run has gone over 27 yards. i'd say that's consistent. the problem is obviously when the ball is in the air.

Looks like the offense is having their bye week this week.

 

[Steve19]

The offense looks scared to death....

I think you are right. They have been walking all over everyone and this is a real reality check. In particular, they seem to be afraid of the Hoosier secondary.

Boy, if you are Wisconsin or TSUN, you are going to like what you see.

Not any more than I enjoyed what I saw when they played each other.

How this team bears down in practice and shows up in Madison next week will tell if this is a championship year or if they're a year away.

I don't know that Beck is calling this.....

I don't think he is either but he's the QB coach and I have not seen JT improve as a passer since his frosh year. I'm not a Beck fan

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

I think we've thrown the ball to WRs fucking twice today...no completions.

This is why he's calling games for ESecPN.

As long as the score holds up today this may be a good thing in the long run.

This is EXACTLY the type of defensive scheme they are going to see from Wisconsin and its' 3-4 base defense.

I hope they acclimate to it. The reason 59-0 happened was being able (and willing) to throw over the top on it.

 

[Drubuck]

Due for an off game. One of those days where nothing is clicking. Thank God the D showed up. Why this team is elite. One side goes down and the other steps up to keep ugly in the W column.

 

[NorthCoastKid]

Our defense is so badass.

 

[CookyPuss]

He goes nowhere!
