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

I think UFM said in his presser that he heard through his headset in the fourth quarter Larry Johnson saying to just turn the DL loose...

If they can operate at 70% of that going forward, nobody is beating us.

The talent up there is scary, and they’ve shown it in flashes, but I feel like up until the fourth quarter tonight, they haven’t really taken over a game like they should. Boy howdy, did they ever take over that game. One of the most impressive unit performances I’ve ever seen.

Thought it could go either way. Basically boiled down to your interpretation of completing the process of the catch.

Ties go to the offense.

Yeah, except when they hit the ground, the guy on defense had both arms wrapped around the ball, and the guy on offense was trying to take it away from him. It wasn't a tie. Fuck replay. If you're going to have it, GET IT RIGHT.

Actually I think it was more of a 'we don't need to blitz'..just let the four guys in the game do what's needed.

penn state's offense next year will be absolutely gutted...

mcsorley - gone
barkley - gone (#1 rb, #2 wr)
hamilton - gone (#1 wr)
gesicki - gone (#4 wr)
thompkins - gone (#5 wr)
blacknall - gone (#6 wr)

And I'll be surprised if Moorhead isn't a HC somewhere.

Put Haskins in.

Those graphs always crack me up. A football game played by college kids can be understood, quantified and its outcome predicted by a mathematical formula.
I'd love to know the exact play where the odds were 50/50.

Repetitive this game but what a dumb play call even the announcer knew what it was.

The announcer watched our practice. He didn’t diagnose it by formation or anything.

Mahalo for my new FB cover photo...

I wanna give a shout out for Dave Wannstedt acknowledging, and getting caught up in, the post-game fan enthusiasm. You rarely see the "pros" join the moment. Fun to watch.

Oh, and I would like to take this time to declare that I officially owe JT Barret one giant arse apology. I doubted him multiple times this season, I wanted him benched in favor of Haskins a few times. I have never been more happy to have been proven wrong. I hope to god this was the performance to give him confidence to finish out his year.

Fuck you ESPN

Went from ~57% Pedo to ~65% bucks after the Baugh catch.

I've seen it snow in Ohio in late October before. I went trick-or-treating in light snow in Youngstown back in the late '60s...

It snowed for quite a while this morning, although barely leaving a few blobs on rooftops before melting away. I recall driving in the snow on Halloween in maybe the 90's, and I'm pretty sure we had accumulating snow in October in 2012, because I went out taking photos of things like mums with snow on them.
