Game Thread tOSU at Iowa, Sat Nov 20, 3:30 ET, ABC/ESPN

Pryor is getting visibly frustrated at his teammates.

Pryor hung Mike Adams out to dry on that 3rd down play. You can't dance around a player as good as Clayborne.

Also, he's throwing up a lot of desperate passes - I'd like to see him be more careful with those.

Watching this team tackle after watching scUM play is amazing...

 

[sammyjenkis]

TP might be letting his frustration get to him here soon if somebody besides Sanzo doesn't step up big.

The other receivers can't step up if Pryor can't read the defense and throw them the ball.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Another possible sack turns into positive yards. Come on, boys. Get him down.

Iowa getting positive yards every play. Keeping it manageable.

Fuck.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Passing to Hines and Chekwa's side. Need to tighten up.

 

[Bucknut24]

come on D!!

If you are a top 10 team, there's no excuse not to come out with 7 points if you have 2 tries from the 1, and 3 tries from within the 3 yard line. If you don't convert your defense, who is supposed to be very strong, should take care of the job and give you great field position to try again. I do not like these FG calls. You have got to take some risks and believe in your defense, and stop "playing not to lose" if you want to be a top team in the league.

So, what's your Bucknuts handle?

Offense can't start like this next week.

Luckily I don't think we'll have to worry about much other than running.

 

[PlanetFrnd]

Iowa only has one guy that can run... Millen does love the buckeyes...

 

[ysubuck]

TP needs to be what he is and let his athleticism take over.

My fear is that he just doesn't like to run with the football. That's kind of what I've been seeing.

Kinda makes you wonder how the guy on the sidelines ever won five straight Big Ten titles, huh?

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

A lot of Stanzi's passes are coming out wobbly. Hopefully someone can jump one of those for the pick.

Pass deflected! Right back to Stanzi. Good grief!

 

[PlanetFrnd]

Holy shit, Cam... badass athlete

 

[billmac91]

Bullshit hold on Adams, questionable PI on Chekwa, no PI when Posey gets hit a second before ball arrives.

That's par for the course.

Sometimes I wonder if you put a different jersey on Ohio State o-lineman, if they'd get called less frequently for holding...like say Wisconsin?

Funny, this has been the Tressel philosophy for 10 years and it's resulted in a National Title and 6 Big Ten titles. Think before you type.
