Game Thread The Game 2012: tOSU 26, TSUN 21 (final)

The adjustments will be fun to see. I think OSU is realizing they are going to stick to the inside zone... it's killing them. Jake Ryan will crash inside eventually and Braxton will get free, and if he doesn't, then we'll take 5-8 at a time. The quick hitters to the outside are having success as well.

I wonder what Mattison is going to change up to deal w/ Hyde...

Question for you guys - where's the Tight End?!?

Don't you guys have Stoneburner, or is he hurt? I didn't see a single TE targeted in that first half at all.

Braxton is still struggling with being a pocket QB. If the first option isn't there he panics. He has a LONG way to go to being a great quarterback.

JFC, between the penalties and the defensive play it's like this team didn't practice at all this week.

I know Urban has won a couple of nattys with this style of offense, but I am always an opponent of it.

Bo has us running it, and it's working okay, but it lacks a level of physicality when you need to just smash a mothafucka in the mouth. And when you have a back like Hyde (who can smash mothafuckas in the mouth), you need to run him between the tackles.

ok, so we played out of position, made a boatload of stupid penalties, missed some tackles, and only trail by one.

we got this.

Fuckin' A. Played one of the worst halves so far this year, and still only down one in The Game? I'll take it. Play like they're capable in the 2nd and they run away with it.

FUCK A MOTHERFUCKING WEASEL!

GO BUCKS!

1st Half Observations:

The same thing that has hamstrung us all year is why this game is even close right now: STUPID PENALTIES (Personal Fouls) and not wrapping up when tackling. If they can just correct those two things the game is ours.

Our Offense is moving the ball. Just continue to execute and we will continue to score.

Hyde needs at least 15 carries this 2nd half.

Braxton is throwing the ball very well but seems hesitant running the ball. He needs to just take it up field and quit being indecisive and juking in the backfield.

PHILLY is the Offensive MVP thus far for tOSU.

Defense is doing well with the exception of the penalties and not wrapping up. Get it fixed.

Washington has stepped up. Boren and Shazier are playing lights out. I could only imagine what the game would be like if we had Simon out on the field.

We need to continue to blitz the LB's in the 2nd half. Our front four are not getting the pressure needed.

We need a turnover this 2nd half. scUM is due for one. Hopefully a pick six

We need the D to stop scUM right out of the gate in the 2nd half. Get good field position and let the Offense take this game over.

GO BUCKS!!
