Game Thread Rose Bowl, #8 tOSU vs #1 Oregon, Jan 1, 5:00 ET on ESPN

Few things…

1. I knew there was a big gap between these two teams. I really did. I didn’t expect this type of an ass beating but this is what hitting your stride looks like.

2. How about Fielding hitting two longer field goals? Good for him. I’m sure it’s not been easy for him the last few months.

3. Take a damn bow defense. 8 sacks, countless TFL, hardly any big plays, rotating a ton of players, and they’re hitting harder than maybe I’ve ever seen from an OSU defense. I thought the defensive front, Cody Simon, and the safeties were ruthless today.

4. We didn’t hear a peep from Burke all game. How cool is that considering how poorly the last game went. So glad to see him get this one back.

5. The offensive line with no sacks again vs this defensive line? What an incredible turnaround for this group. We stopped running stretch and look at how these backs get down hill.

6. I think we can shut up regarding Will Howard being able to throw downfield. He’s a very very good QB.

7. JJ Smith might be the best football player I’ve ever seen. He’s dominating as a true freshman. He looks like he’s an NFL Vet running around out there. I think he’s a top 10 WR in the NFL right now. He’s that good. We thought Marv was good but JJ is a different level than year 3 Marv.
IIRCC, it was Marv who pointed that out last year.

I love this kid, true Buckeye before he ever stepped on campus.

I'm just so happy and going to sleep as comfortably as I ever have tonight. We were dominant in all phases and had a chip on our shoulders. I still can't get over how a rag-tag group of OL can play that well with all that adversity, truly remarkable. It's nothing short of 3rd string Cardale stepping up when called. I mean, everyone is stepping up but that part is just blowing me away with the OL.

Defense was just furious and flying to the ball, while giving up almost no big plays. Simon is having a year to remember and absolutely deserved defensive player of the game. That said, the secondary was incredible tonight...DL wreaked havoc but the secondary got them a few coverage sacks. Looked nothing like the last game against Oregon.

Truly a dominant night all around and I'm going to enjoy the shit out of this one for a couple days, and then we'll move on to Texas.
