Game Thread Penn State at #1 tOSU, Sat. Nov. 1st, 12pm ET, FOX

Great game and beautiful day on campus. Sayin is just ridiculous. Unbelievable how many deep balls connected but he’s just on point with every throw. JJ’s catch on the tipped ball was a cheat code. The camera crew trolled Knowles at the end of the game. Really nothing to complain about other than can we get Penn States punter. 8-0 again. Unbelievable how many times we’ve been 8-0 the past 25 years. Great to be a Buckeye.

I get some of us (myself included) bitching when we lost the 2019 Clemson game because of the refs. It was a one score game.

But when you lose by 24 points? Yeah I don’t get that.
Consider yourself lucky that you don't understand it.
There's a whole section of the interwebs dedicated to them complaining about the refs.
In 2 years, they won't remember the score. But they WILL remember that Downs wasn't ejected, and add this to their list of games that was stolen from them. (Yes, I'm sure that some of them keep a running list.)

Oh they definitely do. They have a Rain Man-like ability to tell you exactly what bad call happened and how it made them lose if you just give them a year. And I mean Rain Main quite literally.

Why we keep asking for other team's punters? I'm content with never needing any punter.

Was surprised on outcome. Didn't really think that tOSU would cover the spread. After the PSU two TDs, was virtually certain. And their step-in QB did very passably in place of Allar. Anyway, the Buckeyes stepped up, tightened the screws, so all is well. Great showing by both the D and O, with stars a-glittering on both sides of the ball. Don't see how the Committee cannot place the Buckeyes at #1 on Tuesday, but have been surprised before. And, not a popular thought, but believe that Indiana had a better win at Oregon, versus a win at home, against a disappointing Texas. However, believe both will win out, and tee it up in the B10 championship. May the Best Buckeye win!

Just a few thoughts....

Not much to say about the Buckeye offense – the run game is still soft and the pass game is still elite, as it should be with Sayin, Smith, and Tate leading the way.

The Buckeye defense held Penn State to 200 total yards and 3.3 yards per play, had four sacks and an interception, and forced six punts....

Yet they allowed Penn State to convert on 8 of 15 third downs (.533), including 3rd-and-9, 3rd-and-10, and 3rd-and-15.

Time of possession was almost dead even: 30:07 for Ohio State, 29:53 for Penn State.

The Buckeyes have now beaten the preseason #1 and #2 teams ... and they've still played nobody.

Bama beat pre season #13 South Carolina though...

Fuck their punter. We got the guy Day wants (the guy behind the guy has a bigger leg too).

Again if the punter now wasn't doing exactly what Day wanted, he wouldn't be the punter.
