first half summary:

 

[Telekinesis]

THEY DONT WANT IT, BUCKS!!!

Finish strong.

 

[NorthCoastKid]

All the shit that went wrong, I'll take an 11 point deficit.

 

[youra6]

The real Saquon Barkley has been Special Teams.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

Got 'em right where we want them.

What, getting the special teams off the field? I agree. Leave them in the locker room

 

[Drubuck]

They can't stop our O right now. The D is getting in the backfield. Stop the self implosion and they have this shit. Most of it rests on the shoulders of the coaches. Not putting this team in a position to win. Make adjustments and Buckeyes can win this one

 

[bukIpower]

Might as well with that bubble screen

if the receivers blocked instead of running off they would've been fine!

whats hilarious is they're a ZONE TEAM on defense... so why would you not have the receivers block??????????

if they're a man team they turn and run but they aren't!!! so cut block them and Weber has a wide open field for a huge gain on first down.

 

[Gizmo]

As awful as that half was, I’ll take an 11 point game. Adjust and execute.

I'll take that after spotting them 14 in the first 2 minutes. We're up 3 since that b.s.

 

[lvbuckeye]

we should be winning the game guys... not fucking kidding..21 of their points came off short fucking fields.

god just make them start deep for once

We gave them the short field, and didn't protect the short field...

Definitely stealing this.

 

[redguard117]

10? I only count the pass to Dixon which drew a PI, Baugh which he dropped, and the one where Barrett was a little off.

He's also had several underthrows + the slight underthrow to Mack which he caught + the TD pass

I thought Coombs as partially responsible for ST

He is

 

[scarletmike]

The coaches better come up with a miracle pill for ST during the half. Like, say...kicking it out of the fucking end zone? Clearly the coverage unit isn't doing their best, so why continue to put them in a situation to get beat and look even worse by continuing to kick it short? Is the kicking situation really that bad that not a single person on the team can reliably kick it out the back of the end zone? High risk, low reward doing that with Barkley back there, even if the coverage was actually perfect. Just give up on it already.

 

[buckmouse]

See that fat ass ref try to run? He should be at home....

 

[OhioState001]

I sincerely believe Ohio State is the better team. I just don't know if that's gonna matter today

 

[Steve19]

Ohio State is losing to Ohio State.

Here is a problem. Urban Meyer needs to become more adaptive. He gets into his head that he wants to do something and doesn't give up. It's chess, not checkers. That screen is not working. Isn't there another way that you can keep Penn State spread horizontally?
