Game Thread THE GAME: #1 tOSU at tCun, Sat. Nov. 29th, 12 pm ET, FOX

If Sayin can avoid an early interception, unlike Howard last year, they could have a nice balanced offensive attack, if limited by the weather. And the forecast could not be worse for passing.

I see light snow and some wind but nothing crazy.

Is there something worse you have?

 

[Bill Lucas]

Unless the snow hits earlier it looks like maybe an inch of snow by the time the game ends. A little windy but nothing terrible.

Apologies, my comment was an overstatement. Just that it will be more inclement than recent years. Muscles will be a little tighter, might be enough snow for a slick football, slick field, but maybe not. Hopefully not too windy to throw the ball accurately. Just nervous.

It goes into the narrative of "don't play their game."

They are a team built to win 1st down and then manage 2nd & 3rd on both sides of the ball.

So win 1st down and run some tempo on them. It will catch their big guys on the field and then run their fat asses ragged with a base personnel group like USC did a lot of.

The single biggest advantage between any two units on the field this Saturday will be OSU passing game vs tsun defense. DO NOT give that away. Use the run as a change up. Fuck the most rushing yards and fuck balance.

Exploit your advantage.

Yes. If we play to our strengths and avoid the bad turnovers we will win this game.

If we turn the ball over and we are in a low scoring dog fight in the 4th then seriously wrap your mind around a potential loss. Not that we will lose but you’d be wise to adjust your expectations because that’s the scenario that TCUN wants.

as much as I'd love to lay last year's game plan on Chip Kelly, Ryan Day signed off on it. Had to have.

That said, I do think he snapped last year and knows he can't play their game (finally).

and even with that putrid gameplan OSU wins 16-6 if special teams aka Fielding doesnt fail and Will doesn't throw a backbreaking pick

just a reminder.....

Morgan Trent sighting at the end there -- going full bitch-mode and diving at the back of Beanie's knees as Wells goes into the endzone.
