Game Thread Ohio State vs UNLV, 09/23/17 @ 12:00 ET (BTN)

I would rather hear the lack of enthusiasm in Beth Mowins' voice, than hear Millen call another game for Ohio State.

Dear god, no! I LOATHE whatever that thing is calling games. Please keep her/him/it/whatever as far away from our games as possible. At least I can tune these other goons out. She is absolutely unbearable to listen to. Just hearing its voice for a moment during a break was difficult to handle.

The game is on mute if that happens. I can’t stomach it.

I'm not upset, it's a win and our back ups got PT but again just not sure how we got better today.

Um did you watch the 4 or 5 straight reed option plays where they dlineman chose wrong 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage really?

If we can throw the ball dencently against SCUm or PSU then certainly we did. Cause we couldn't throw on Oklahoma and that was a big issue.
Did you see the multiple 20+ runs? Starters were great but the back ups kind of ruined the momentum of this game that's all I'm saying.

How about the all star lineup of Mowins-Millen-Derpstreit calling a Notre Dame-Texas game..

Thoughts:
JT was on point today
Receivers are definitely improving
OL did a great job in the first half
Dobbins could have had 300+ yds. today.
Impressed with Saunders. He deserves more playing time
Hill and Campbell are emerging weapons
First team D looked good
I liked the pressure the front seven put on the QB
A couple INTs were nice to see
Sub par competition but tons of guys got needed playing time.
Love our punter
Did great on kickoff coverage today and overall special teams.

GO BUCKS!!BEAT RUTGERS!
Agreed... I would like to see more of Saunders. Seems to be a sure handed guy that runs good routes he reminds me of Erickson from Wisconsin the walk on

Great for developing them but did we work on a game plan that will succeed against psu? Answer is no.

JTB threw (not ran for) 5 TDs. No matter the opponent, that is a step in the right direction. The running game will be there, while also giving Weber more time to rehab his injury AND limiting his carries in case the passing game begins to evaporate against better conference opponents. This team can grind out a win against Michigan beating them at their own game. That's never been the issue, though.

You mean the 3 20+ yard runs. The first on 1st team D on a scramble 3 dlineman were the backfield. The 2nd a long run where both backside lineman were in the backfield and a QB read where a dlineman chose wrong? If there are 1-2 Dlineman in the backfield nearly every damn play and sometimes 3 or 4. The dline dominated the line of scrimmage. You need to rewatch those plays cause I don't know what you thought you saw but the dline had penetration on every one.

Your question was "did we work on a game plan that will succeed against PSU?" Not "Were the starters great?"

My answer to your actual question is yes. Having the ability throw the ball (no matter who is at QB) is much better than having to deal with 9 defensive players in the box, with no ability to adjust.

Not sure. Haven't seen a pump fake on one of those screens and watched a defender get all wide eyed before getting burned over the top yet.
Exactly.. I would've liked to had seen more of the game plan from last week and building off that game plan.

Instead we barely did any of that and just dropped back and surveyed all game. This wouldve been a great game to build on plan from last week.

Starters were fine for the 1000th time.
