Game Thread Ohio State vs Oklahoma, 09/09/17 @ 7:30 ET (ABC)

Brutal.

As good as Dobbins is with the ball, the difference is glaring with Weber in the game for the entire offense. His pass blocking and JTs trust level just are much better. He'll get there I'm sure but we need Weber to be healthy.

OU would have 14-21 points in BIG12 play. Not so much of a knock, more of what I think it takes to win different conferences.

 

[Clarity]

I'm honestly coming to the conclusion that our WRs just aren't very good.

Feels like we have a lot of tweener athletes and few genuine receivers. That's not a good situation. Mack, Vic, someone needs to grow up quickly.

Well I mean we love to rag on JT but our WRs really enjoy dropping perfectly thrown deep balls.

 

[Mike80]

I hate that damn song....

 

[Drubuck]

3 and out D

 

[NFBuck]

WRs are a clown show again. These kids are too highly touted coming in for them to all be "busts."

That said, the offense was dogshit for 30 minutes last week, too. And this week the D is getting it done. Keep stifling them and let's get some offensive juice going.

 

[GovTressel]

It's glaringly obvious that the problem with the passing game is Barrett. He has no sense of timing and a below average arm.

 

[TooTall]

36 completely tackled on the kick return... Clean block!

 

[Mike80]

Don't call that GIGANTIC hold on #28 on that KO return there.....

 

[Honor&Glory]

If Campbell and Mclaurin can't catch, why do you make them run routes?

That is a great question. Many of JT's passing yards in 14 were a desult of those touch passes that were glorified jet sweeps that we no longer run.

McLaurin made no effort for that ball. Devin Smith catches it with ease. Its getting a little embarrasing to recruit all this talent but cant find one guy who can catch the damn football.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Holy hell, #28 just tackled his guy from behind.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Were they Big Ten refs in Norman? OSU ST just got tackled...no call.

 

[lvbuckeye]

We havent recruited a guy like that in a while....

It's my only gripe with recruiting. Meyer took over a team with a stable of NFL receivers. None of these guys will play on Sunday. It doesn't matter how fast you are when you run lazy routes and have hand made of bricks.

 

[buckeyebri]

Guy gets tackled on return but no flag....sheesh
