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

[Merih]

there is no down, distance, or situation where our chances are better with #4 on the sideline.

even if you're going to run power put him out wide that takes two people out of the box

Rule #1 if JJ is not in the game on a important play, don't run it.

Still got a chance?

1st Half Observations:
First Blood
Last Blood
7 straight games scoring a TD in the last minute of the first half. Great play call by Arthur Smith on the pass play to BO.

Henry leading OSU WR so far

Because they are rightly knowing JS is a target, but you don't need to overplay it. Which is seeming to be happening.

That's not how it works here. If you want to bitch moan and whine, go to the BMW thread. That includes bashing.

Not doing either. I guess I missed the reply to the large component of posts being scrutinized for giving an opinion.

 

[Mike80]

Wrong, you have your opinions and I have mine. Post as you wish and worry less about me.

Nah - unlike you I have a personal stake in BP and somewhat how it runs.

The rules this forum has always operated under will be respected.

 

[Zander42]

Crazy accurate is a stretch. But most of Todd's issues were self inflicted. Not dismissing the questionable OL play at all.



Neat.

Fair, it's been a long time. I remember he had a nice deep ball and he did do well statistically in 07.

Fuck no I aged like milk in a car on a Florida summer day

How’s Trish looking today

Good enough for me.

 

[morbitzerker]

At the 7 minute mark of the second quarter, I did not have faith OSU would be leading going into halftime.

 

[Bill Smith]

am I glad Day went for that, of course they scored...but

Day is really gambling on 4th down there

IU has all the momentum if they come up short....throw a pick 6 and it's over

Really not a ton of confidence in his team playing a better second half

 

[Gothmog8]

My 2 questions are, can the coaching make adjustments (as I always hope in a close game) and can the players execute (as I except in every game) ?

 

[ScriptOhio]

Well, overall the Buckeye offense didn't play all that great. Sayin was off didn't have a very good half; however, there were a few key catches by players not named Smith though. The defense did hold their own. The Buckeyes came out of the first half with lead:

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

And dumb Day calls a timeout right away without letting a few seconds run off the clock

Of all the absolutely ridiculous things to complain about, I’m going to come back to this one because it’s fucking stupid. With OSU having the ball at the IU 2-yard line and less than :40 seconds left, why are you worrying about IU having too much time on offense? An IU offense that hasn’t done jack shit today, by the way.

Also, OSU’s clock management in the last two minutes of first halves has been impeccable this season, so acting like Days doesn’t know how to manage the clock in that situation is moronic.

There’s are plenty of things to complain about today but that is not one of them.
