ND and Weis are frustrated. Right now, I think Charlie realizes he doesn't have the horses to win this...unless tOSU continues to make boneheaded plays. If the Bucks score on the frst drive of the second half, ND is in trouble.

ND is in trouble anyway, unless they stop throwing their hands up at each other. Maybe Weis has Mike Martz syndrome...mixing in the running game was effective for him early, but he just can't help throwing on every down. If they throw all 2nd half, they're dead meat regardless.

We need to come out and get 7 on the first drive. ND is way to dangerous to be left in the game going into the second half. We blew 2 big scoring chances that we could have ha 14 points. A 28 point lead would be much different than a 14 point lead. Our D is good at making second half adjustments though, so lets hope we can get more pressure on Quinn, and hold them to the 7 points they already have.

To be up by 14 with the turnovers and penalties is pretty darned good at this point...

I know I will take it. Halftime adjustments are key. We usually do a great job of adjusting at the half.

Ohio State's speed on the outside is simply killing ND.
