Game Thread Ohio State vs Wisconsin - 10/26/19, 12:00PM (FOX)

Just wanted to say how much I love the B1G game in 60. That feature is perfect the way you get to see every play and little fluff. I watch that every week at least once (except Purdue last year and Iowa 2 years ago-for some reason those weren’t available, go figure).
B1G football in 60 is great. I've watched Nebraska-Indiana and Minnesota-Maryland today, and yesterday I re-watched the Wiscy game. I usually take advantage of 3 or 4 of those each week.

re-watched it yesterday and if I'm not mistaken Wisconsin's first long field drive that moved past the 50 came with under 4 to go in the 3rd quarter and the game already out of hand.

Also, I'm not 100% sure that punt was blocked at all. I think one of the best punters in America just shanked the shit out of one and set up their only points of the day.

Totally shanked it right into the fingers of the Wisky player. If he got it off as normal, no fingers would have touched it. Just too long to get it off.

There's a youtube channel that condenses games into 40 minutes but keeps every play since it omits the commercials. Think it's called something like RTuploads

Edit - it's rtsportsuploads

Not at all how I saw that punt. Chrisman does not usually kick pointing his leg straight down the field. He steps left or right after the snap and his kicking leg is then at an angle toward one side or the other. That angle changes depending upon upon what he’s trying to accomplish. IF that movement is random, then in theory that’s harder to block because the rush doesn’t have a single target point on the field.

Maybe Wisky spotted a tell or a pattern. Maybe it was just lucky. Either way, the rusher was on target to get a full, clean block. Chrisman was moving to his right with his kicking leg angled toward the right pylon. He saw the rusher and at the last instance altered his leg swing inward, across his body. The changed leg angle avoided a block (or only allowed a finger or so to brush the ball?) and got the ball downfield and out of bounds. Great play by Chrisman to avoid a disastrous full block!

Seems like we should just stop punting to avoid this from happening again.

RYAN DAY REVIEWS OHIO STATE'S 38-7 WIN OVER WISCONSIN, EXPRESSES PRIDE FOR TEAM'S TOUGHNESS ON BUCKEYE ROUNDTABLE RADIO SHOW

108257_h.jpg


A quick recap of what Day had to say:
  • Day said he thought the rainy conditions of Saturday's game could play into Wisconsin's hands because of its style of play. The Buckeyes were conservative on offense early but as the game went on, they played better and better, and he was proud of the toughness they showed playing in the elements. Day acknowledged that it was the first time Fields had to play in that kind of weather.
  • On the 4-4-3 defense that Ohio State started the game in, Day said he thought the defensive coaches did a great job of putting a game plan together over the course of the week to match up with Wisconsin's personnel. He said the Buckeyes wanted to "make sure that they felt our presence early."
  • Day said he thought the third-quarter touchdown drive that followed Wisconsin's lone touchdown of the day, which made the score 10-7 early in the third quarter, was "the drive of the game" because it was the first time all year that Ohio State's back was up against the wall, and the Buckeyes responded the way they needed to.
  • On Wisconsin's defense: "They certainly gave us some looks that they weren't really practicing much during the week," and it took the Buckeyes some time to adjust before their offense could get into a rhythm.
  • Day said that Chase Young and J.K. Dobbins have both really matured in their third years and stepped up to become the leaders the Buckeyes needed to be.
  • Day said the Buckeyes didn't think about going for it when they sent Blake Haubeil out to kick a 49-yard field goal in the second quarter. Thought those three points were important, as the game was scoreless at the time.
  • On Justin Fields: "Justin's tough. I've learned to appreciate that the more I've been around him with each game." Because of that, he's confident Fields will be able to handle the cold weather that will be coming, even though Fields grew up in Georgia and will have to adjust to it as it comes. He said the Buckeyes typically practice outside even when there is bad weather in Columbus in order to prepare them to face it in games.
  • On the rain: "Both teams have to deal with it. All we have to do is handle it better than our opponent. Everybody who touches the ball has got to figure out, but it's no excuse for not executing. And again, I thought our guys handled it a big way." He said he did have to change clothes at halftime because of how soaked he was.

0:34 in the clip. Looks like it’s going off the side of his foot to me. The rest of which you type? You could be 1000% correct. I take it as you suggesting he altered the path of his leg to avoid the block? Maybe. Could totally be right.
