Game Thread Ohio State vs Northwestern, 10/29/16, 3:30pm ET ESPN/WatchESPN

If Northwestern scores again in this half, I'm on a plane to call plays in the second half.

I'd take it

Lets hope for a turnover here

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

How bout ending this half like they did against Tulsa?

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Great sack there by Lewis!

 

[Steve19]

Well, there is a nice sack!

 

[Wingate1217]

Lewis sighting.....

 

[Jake]

SACK! That helps.

 

[Jaxbuck]

I don't know if this is a fair statement or not but it feels like as much as we saw the 2014 team improve after VT we have seen the 2016 team regress after their bye week.

This is hard to fucking watch

 

[scarletngray]

LEWIS!

 

[Honor&Glory]

Well it's nice to see all the issues were addressed and fixed. This team just isn't that good and is not well coached. We will not make it to scUM without another loss and we look to have a giant plunger awaiting us then.

Recruiting is one thing. Coaching them to a juggernaut is an entirely different animal. And yes, I blame Beck and anyone who has a hand in the offense and that includes Meyer.

Hopefully the team does grow the rest of this season. But my expectations are now revised and not looking to a playoff berth.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Finally a sack...

 

[Jake]

Hmmm...not sure I would've called time out. I'd have been happy to go in 17-10 at this point. Hope it doesn't backfire on us.

 

[Buckeyebred97]

Why call timeout and give them time to convert another 3rd down or punt the ball and run up the middle to close out half?

 

[buckeyebri]

I wouldn't have called TO there at all....

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

I do NOT like calling a timeout here. Not with the way NW has been passing the ball today. Not even a little bit.

What are you going to do if you get the ball back with :45 left at your own 20 going into the wind?

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Why do these commentators think that our team 'has been fixed' after last week? It looks just as bad, but against a worse team.
