Game Thread tOSU at Indiana, Saturday Oct. 17, Noon ET, FOX

[Gizmo]

Well instead of being up 6 or 7 we are now only up 4 because of missing that 2 pointer

That hurts now a FG only gives us a 7 point lead instead of 9

Looks like I was wrong going for 2 a brutal mistake

not sure why you ever think it's right for the team with a lead to go for 2. Make the trailing team chase the points....

Very typical Day team 4th quarter defensive collapse. Our defense is just not conditioned to play 4 quarters.

Is it that or is it that they go into basically a prevent shell when being somewhat aggressive has worked for the rest of the game?

difference between passing on 2pt instead of running it

Very similar play to the 4th down TD

Feels like 4D chess by Cig there. Those points meant more mentally then they did for chances to win.

 

[Buckeneye]

We've been hinging the safeties all afternoon and forcing IU to win outside. They finally just did.

Corners need to tighten it up, but the defensive has been passively aggressive through 3.5 quarters with success and I'm cool with it.

Indiana playing to their strength instead of trying to force a run…..

 

[Newlander]

It doesn't make sense to go for 2.

My thinking: If we get held to a FG, then a TD ties it.

 

[Herb Kirkstreit]

All right JJ. We're going to need another touchdown out of you.

 

[jackson77]

We gotta get this to a two score game again or else we are in trouble.

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

If they dont score this drive seems like an inevitable loss

 

[Powair7s]

Maybe let's not play soft coverage and let them dunk down the field...QB has a hurt shoulder, play tight and make him gun it.

Well it sure seemed in hand after that TD but that went sideways fast.

Did not expect them to walk right down the field and keep getting those 3rd downs especially that last 3rd and long.

It's up to the offense to go score another TD now can't settle for the FG only up 4.

4th quarter collapses are a coaching issue. This is all on Day and his shine is really wearing off this year

all season. All season it's been "sit back and hope they miss", that's exactly how Texas got back into the game, too, they stopped missing.

The more physical team in the trenches usually wins.
