Anyone going to be in Denver for this game? I see Hayter’s is the alumni watch bar but haven’t been there since I’m from out of town. Was supposed to watch with someone but he bailed on all our plans for that weekend.

I'm in Colorado Springs, and the Buffalo Wild Wings near me usually hosts a Buckeye watch party. I've been once, but it's a solid group of fans, if you were to make the drive.

No Austin or/and Daniel’s struggle. JJ 4 catches forget it.

Beat Indiana

This team knows how to bother Sayin.

That’s the biggest risk.

He has to step up.

Cliche warning! It'll be won in the trenches. If the OL can give Sayin time and the DL continues to be active we'll win by 10+. Either one doesn't happen and its danger city

That 1-2 extra seconds in the pocket

I’m leaning toward giving him a normal 2-read timing. Look at two guys, and if you haven’t tossed the ball either take off to open space or throw it away. A defensive score and/or an injured QB are the easiest paths to a bad outcome Saturday.

The O-line doesn’t look it can be trusted to give Sayin 3+ seconds to throw the ball, and the Indiana D-Line is solid and they effectively run a bunch of stunts.

Too early to put Bey in at QB for a snap?

Yes

Grew up a huge Ohio State fan, as his dad played linebacker for the Buckeyes. Was not recruited by Ohio State. Had a career day in victory against Ohio State. I don't love what he did there after the game, but I get it.

Ah the jilted Buckeye story…..Never heard one of those before

One way to confront that is to have a solid rushing attack which will keep Indy off balance. Establishing the run and stopping the run will be key on Saturday.

Trying to run to set up the pass is how Day teams end up in rock fights, imo.

Just be who you are and throw the ball. Sayin is the whole game. If he can call the right protections and handle the pressure we should be good every where else.
