Game Thread Ohio State vs Penn State - 11/23/19, 12:00PM (FOX)

Well where to start...

1. I realize it's getting cold, we have an outstanding OL, and a physical running back room but we have to let Justin Fields throw the ball more. Against elite defenses it's hard to grind out possessions by just a running the ball. Justin Fields doesn't throw interceptions and he completes 70+% so take advantage of that. We have the players to go vertical so do it. We will not beat Clemson by just running the ball.

2. The defense is so nasty and if not for the garbage TDs and the offensive turnovers they basically give up nothing. Barely gave up 200 yards again and that's against a team with a lot of speed and talent.

3. For as dominant as we have been we sure miss out on a lot still. Wade dropped 2 ints, Werner dropped 1, and we failed to pick up at least 2 fumbles.

4. Fields ran way too much. Where are all the swing passes and quick bubble throws?? We can basically run the ball by throwing wide quick.

5. Credit to PED for making that run in the 3rd. We were rattled like I hadn't seen in quite some time and that's a credit to their defense because they are one of the hardest hitting teams I've seen in a while. He defense holding to 3 was enormous.

Overall this should have been at least 35 to 0 at the half but we found a way to win and that's all the matters. We were very conservative play calling wise and that better stop next week or we will have another close game.

The past two games have been somewhat frustrating, but we're still undefeated. If this team cleans up the silly mistakes look out.

Not losing any sleep over the Rutgers ga_e. The starters failed to punch in one drive and gave up one score that was bad flags and one big play. Were up 42-7 31 _inutes in.

Today was the definition of frustrating though.
