Game Thread tOSU at Wisconsin, Sat, Oct 16, 7:00 ET; ESPN

[WaitingforKickoff]

If they can get it to 21-13 going into the 4th that would be huge for the Bucks. But again, they haven't shown the slightest ability to stop John Clay on any of his carries yet, and that is really what's killing us.

Ohio State will not lose this game.

Holy cow, I can't believe what I just watched this half. This team has zero rythym on offense and looks extremely flat on all sides of the ball. We need to come out in the second half and put together a nice drive down the field to give Pryor some confidence.

Come on guys...come out fighting!

 

[nwbuckeye]

First down on the 2 and we do not run Boom even once, horrible horrible play calling.

Really this is just like last year's game, except the Badgers aren't shooting themselves in the foot.

This is a timid performance - mentally, physically and on the sidelines.

 

[jlb1705]

This is pathetic. I'm embarrassed.

Don't be. You're not the one getting hit in the mouth.

Last year Clay was getting 3 yards a pop. The first half he was getting stopped by the endzone. That's the difference.

I doubt Wisconsin will be able to sustain the energy they played with in the 1st half. We will comeback. Believe it.

It's not ours to lose.

The only way the Buckeyes walk out of here with the W is if Wisky loses it.

 

[Gothmog8]

Having flashbacks of big Wisky TB's running over tOSU from the 1990s...
Had problems back then stopping the rabid running Badger.
Need to force Wisky to start throwing.

 

[Best Buckeye]

We all hope to come back to win it but to say you "expect" it after that performance is just blind homerism. We didn't give away a lead with turnovers, we got pushed around.

That's right Jake I expect us to come back and win because we are the Buckeyes. I never give up on my team

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

That time management is just a microcosm of this entire performance so far....

Meh. Even if they take the timeouts after 2nd and 3rd down, they have less than a minute, no timeouts, and start around their own 20. I have no problem with that as long as they took one timeout to get a shot at the block.

Down 18. Much stranger things have happened than that. Let's do it, fellas.

 

[buxfan4life]

What the......???

We look flat. No sense of urgency. I am in shock how non-emotional this team is right now. I hope they come out of halftime on fire or they have their first loss for the season tonight.

Ugh.

 

[Jake]

Ohio State will not lose this game.

I hope you're right.
