I really can't believe they haven't left a receiver or two wide open.

I can't believe we have receivers in the game.

Hall is not the answer in the backfield. Outside maybe but not as an I formation tailback.

Hyde or Herron please!

Illinois is selling out to stop the run now.

It only took them nearly 3 full quarters to do it.

 

[GomerBucks]

I am actually a little intrigued with the thought of winning a game without a competed pass.. five years later it would be an Aflac trivia question

3rd down. Please oh please, no playaction. I'd kill for a HB Screen here

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

FS. Blergh!

I've never understood why OSU doesn't coach the center to snap the ball when a guy jumps offsides. I know it catches the QB off guard and forces the refs to make the call, but it should be a free five yards.

Looks like we're settling for a FG here. Not even a little screen or toss.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Punt.


Damnit!

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Playaction theoretically should be ripping them apart.... Keyword theoretically.

 

[dragurd]

Ugh terrible sequence

 

[Jake]

3rd and 15, one draw too many.

Just a short pass could've set up a FG.

Here comes a punt.

Even though Ohio State is up, the playcalling has reverted back to the atrocity that was during the Michigan State game.

The only difference is that Boom is a gamer. We should be up 24 or 30 if we called better plays.

As much as I love Luke as a defensive guy, I hope that Bollman is out of Columbus the day the season ends.

 

[scarletngray]

Put it in our best players hands....err...foot...

BUCHANAN!!

:osu:

 

[Mike80]

Illinois is seriously selling out to stop the run. A good playaction now would fuck them up royally.

 

[buckeyebri]

Tressel ball = Bollman ball = Fickel ball....
