Penn State at tOSU, Oct 30th, 7:30 PM, ABC

A few quick takeaways....

Defense forced 3 turnovers, had 4 sacks, held Penn State to 33 yards rushing on 29 carries (1.1 average) ... but allowed Penn State to convert 11 of 18 on 3rd down.

CJ Stroud had 305 yards passing with a TD and no picks ... but seemed late on many throws, missed open receivers, and generally looked more like Tulsa CJ than Rutgers-Indiana-Maryland CJ.

Offense had 466 yards ... but only 22 first downs, 5 of 14 on 3rd down, and awful in the red zone (TD, 4 FG, over on downs).

Ohio State had 10 penalties for 74 yards including 6 procedure penalties (has to be a record).

Well beating Penn State on the same day tsun lost was fun.

Just a normal Penn State on Halloween ass game where the score is closer than it should have been and they still walk home with a capital L.

They still don't know how to play zone they tend to sit flat footed and let people run across or settle around them.

Also drove me crazy the run up the middle on 2nd/3rd/4th short

And I'm the problem around here...

Apologies on my part, I’m a pretty forgiving SOB… but you are a negative bastard.

Then I thought… my wife would probably tell you the same about me. Luckily, no one’s quoting her on here.

Here’s to bread… a toast.

I mean to Buckeyes. Here’s to that.

Stroud either needs the full green light to tuck it and run, or he needs to be reminded that it's ok and that he actually has decent wheels. The offense needs that a little bit to open up the playbook completely.

Still not getting why the students chanted "Not a rival" and proceeded to storm the field like OSU just beat their arch rival. Have some standards in the student section

It's late, I want to celebrate a win, and I really really don't want to remove any more off-topic posts from this thread. So, knock it off!

My son wants to celebrate by watching 127 Hours, so I’m over here pretending to be interested in watching James Franco stuck between a rock and a hard place for an hour and a half… again.

Just so this is on topic, I bet he feels like Penn State’s rushing attack.

Guys - you won. Your coach has yet to lose a conference game as the head coach. You beat a ranked opponent tonight in a tough game where you still won, even when you didn't bring your A game. The only loss you have is to the 7th ranked team in the country, by one TD. You are playing a Dead Man Walking next week who has a QB who threw FOUR PICKS today (one of which was a pick six).

Chill, ya'll...chill....

Celebrating with this.....

So basically you're drinking brandy made by Nazi collaborators.

Didn't he have 7 in the 3rd quarter against MSU in 2009????

Don't you even Shugarts, bro?

Yup. Beating Penn St is always a good day. Fuck the circumstances, throw out the point spread and the expectations, it’s a solid win.

Im happy and going to enjoy a neat bourbon and a cigar toinight.
