Few things are more terrifying than Zeke in the open field with or without the ball. You know he's going to lower the shoulder & bring the pain.

FEED THE ZEKE

Vegas expected OSU to win by 18. How is this an underperformance?

Jax has a few bills on OSU +18

An effort like this gets us pounded the next two weeks.

Fortunately we tend to also play up to our opponents...

An effort like this gets us pounded the next two weeks.

So an effort that is as expected gets them pounded.....yet OSU is expected to beat MSU and UM. I'm confused how meeting expectations changes when they're meeting expectations.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Hey a forced play to Brax that loses yards...

 

[Drubuck]

Knee looked scary there Brax

No, they're not...absolutely true. But this team's performance level this year does not match its talent...not even close. Still too many mental errors, they seem to be sleep walking too frequently, and the playcalling is, um, curious at times. It's a frustrating team, I'm not sure why that's surprising to anyone.

of course their performance matches their talent, they are undefeated and about win another game. the only expectations they are not living up to are yours, which are unrealistic. if you recognize they won't perform up to video game standards every week then why is everyone so salty all the time?

Nick Vannett: Slippery when wet.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Great play Vannett! Breaking them tackles.

 

[Systems_id]

Who's that 81 fella? What position does he play?

 

[youra6]

Nice.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Hey Buckeye QBs, good things always happen when you get the TE's involved.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Nice 3rd down pickup...happens when your OL provides protection.

 

[buckeyebri]

Vannett!
