Game Thread Ohio State vs Penn State, 10/28/17 @ 3:30 ET (FOX)

Miami might be the worst undefeated team I've seen in a while.

Say it with me...

"This is Urban Meyer's offense."

But his offense is mostly doing work. It just looks uglier than it does because STs plus a bad fumble has cost us 21 points. Seriously, this is making the STs last year look GOOD.

 

[buckeyboy]

Based on what I've seen this year, it doesn't look like our kicker is even capable of kicking it that far.

Agreed. If that option was on the table, I just can't believe Meyer wouldn't give him the go ahead to kick it in the end zone.

 

[Drubuck]

We need to stop committing stupid penalties

False starts and off sides on a kickoff. Barkley making his presence known on 2 huge plays. Other than that he has been nothing but that has been more than enough so far in this game. Stop the self implosion and this game isn't close

 

[Steve19]

Even with that BS PI that got Penn State a TD, Ohio State won the last 26 minutes of the half.

Urban needs to make a phone call to Jim Tressel at halftime. Inexcusable for ST to remain shitty 6 years into his tenure.

If I recall correctly, during his first year here opponents set an Ohio State record for the number of ST plays returned for TD. For whatever reason, his system isn't working.

130 to 244 yardage advantage. We are better on 2/3 phases of the game. We can come back.

I want to believe but STs has at least one more fuck up in them. Defense has done a hell of a job all things considering. They've really only given up 10 points. I would have taken that in an instant.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

Definitely stealing this.

would you be surprised to know that i didn't just create that?

 

[Onebuckfan]

Recruit 3 stars to play ST the 5 stars are not assignment sound they are used to free lancing to make a big play .

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Am I crazy or did Urban Meyer not have amazing success with ST at Florida?

And starting out here. Blocked punts and returns were expected.

 

[Dryden]

Outgaining them 244 to 130. Outrushing them 148 to 60. Barrett is 12/16 passing with two drops.

Two kick returns and the fumble are directly responsible for 21 of PSU's 28 points.

This is a repeat of last year. Ohio St has the better offense and the better defense. Dobbins needs more 1st down carries. Only four rushes but already at 50 yards.

 

[scarletngray]

Int in the end zone that got taken away and not kicking on 4th and 8 are the difference. No matter the abysmal special teams and other mistakes we should be leading this game

Great insight. We are definitely playing well enough to win this.

 

[Telekinesis]

I feel comfortable saying Ohio State has the better team on offense and defense.

 

[sparcboxbuck]

Ok, fuck it. They spotted them 14. Score on the opening drive of the second half and it’s 28-24 provided we get the XP. Repeat everything from the first half except the self-dildoing and this is a W.

And spotting them 7 points on the first play. And fumbling on our first drive. And a million of self-inflicted wounds on O...
