Game Thread tOSU at Purdue, Noon ET Nov 12, BTN

[Jaxbuck]

Don't take my post as sticking up for Bollman. I won't speak to playcalling as I'm no offensive genius. I was merely pointing out it was much more than playcalling that lost this game whereas many wanted to lay the blame solely at Bollman's feet.

When I see kids in 2011 doing the same things kids were doing in 2003-2004 I really don't try and split hairs on a game by game basis.

You can make the execution argument for any game. No one has found a way to rationalize the past 10 years of offensive ineptitude yet (at least not one that actually passes any kind of logic test).

Would Simon and Howard return with a new Coach or move on? Especially with any more penalties.

Where would Howard go, exactly?

 

[jwinslow]

Good for you. But it's not bashing if it's true.

Quite false. Bashing is rarely about its accuracy, but rather the civility of the criticism (or lack thereof).

Are slants hard to teach? I'm not a coach so I don't know these things.

Whats a slant?

I agree. With the type of year that he has had, he hasn't exactly lit it up as a "lock down" cornerback like he was supposed to be. He still has plenty of time to become one if he stays, but as of right now I think that Bradley Roby is by far our best CB.

3rd and 10, throw a 30 yard bomb. Duh.

Well, if this hasn't been a perfect storm this year with the suspensions, multiple injuries, inability to cash on potential turnovers, the drip, drip, drip of further sanction talk and infractions......:(

FIFY.

You're asking the same question I am regarding Jim Bollman.

Bob Hunter of The Dispatch hinted/speculated that Jim Bollman wants to get back into the NFL to help his NFL retirement benefits.

I can't figure out who would hire him.

This is a rebuilding year. An amazing comeback against Wisconsin distorted that.


Hated to see Sweat go down, but Shazier is starting to get more comfortable out there.

The Raiders....

He wouldn't be the first to overate his talent..

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

If the defense doesn't have about 20 missed tackles, we win the game. Oh, and did we blitz even one fucking time today? I cannot remember a single blitz.

The Raiders....

Al Davis would have LOVED his play calling.
