Game Thread tOSU at Illinois, Nov 16, 12 ET, ESPN

Wow Miller. Just go out of bounds.

 

[buckeyebri]

Just a pumpkin stupid play...

 

[scarletmike]

Miller has been high or long on most of his passes. And what in the fuck was that?

 

[Poe McKnoe]

WTF Braxton. Decision making is turrible.

 

[jlb1705]

Miller has been off, but there have been plenty of imperfect but catchable throws that receivers have not grabbed.

...and then Miller puts one up there that would make Brandon Weeden blush.

Why is that no PI??

Disagree with this. If Ohio State blows out Illinois then they can't justify moving Stanford ahead of the Buckeyes this week (if Stanford wins tonight). If Stanford beats USC then come Monday the Cardinal will be number 3. Hell, Ohio State may end up an undefeated 5 if Baylor keeps rolling. This game (all on the defense, by the way) will really ding Ohio State with the voters.

They hell they can't - after all, it's "only Illinois"....

BTW the offense looks completely out of sync and the defense would have issues covering anyone. This is not good.

The refs were probably too busy laughing to throw a flag.

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Great, now the offense can't do anything. Why did they stop running Hyde?

You really think the refs will bail us out by calling a garbage time PI?

 

[NFBuck]

Alright, defense. Lets just end this bonfire of dung.

Exactly. We've gone from people completely blocking out the notion that any undefeated Ohio State team would get left out of a nc game in any circumstances to a highly plausible scenario where an undefeated Ohio State team could have been left of a four team playoff.

The WR wasn't trying to catch the ball?
