Game Thread tOSU @ Minnesota, Nov 15th @ 12p ET, ABC/WatchESPN

I'd disagree about "played like complete [Mark May]." Other than the misguided arm punt call and the damn fumble going into the end zone, the O pretty much imposed its will. Clean up the mistakes, and we're ok. Defense, well, that's borderline "[Mark May]." Probably should have at least 3-4 Cosby's, but I've been slacking so...

Now the bull[Mark May] talking heads talking about how it's worse than it really is I'm sure.

Game isnt really close on the field. The scoreboard, yes. The actual game play, no. Just sell out on the run and take your chances. I definitely think we can play 0 coverage on them and should blast the LOS.

Meh fuck them. Comparing games in August to games in November is pretty fucking stupid anyway. What is it like 70 degrees cooler? I'm actually kind of glad Minny isn't playing like some candy ass bottom dweller. They are a decent team and deserve a little of the spotlight for being so. Now it's time to make the adjustments and ruin their weekend.

Go Bucks 52-17!

D absolutely has to come out at the half firing on all cylinders and shut down the run game to give our offense the chance to get the ground game going and build a lead. As for the offense, stay away from anything long through the air.
Shutting down the run game means selling out and forcing the long ball. I'd wait for a larger lead before getting to aggressive. I'm not worried about the D. Two TDs, one with less than half a field to play. That's not a bad half. Offense has to lean run and go long when it's given. No turnovers in this half and we win going away.

We have 352 yards of offense, so the weather is no excuse. We simply cannot turn the ball over and leave points on the field.

The only thing the weather is truly affecting is vision on finding the ball as a receiver, IMO. Outside of that its an excuse because both teams are dealing with it.

You just have to adjust your gameplan and run the ball down their throats. It wont be pretty but it will be effective.

Well it is pretty simple...quit turning the damn ball over. Our defense has played well when we don't do that and honestly if we don't have that last fumble, I suspect we are up about 24-7ish. Jalin is a serious talent but he needs to really focus on ball security, he scares the hell out of me every time the ball goes to him.

On defense, I stack the box to stop Cobb...our DBs are playing tight coverage and they have zero deep threat. Let them man up and stack 8 to stop Cobb and make Leidner beat us.

I'm not talking about the 2 minute drill. You cannot come out off the bat and expect to have a QB from texas sling the ball around the yard.

We didn't "sling the ball around the yard" at all. 8 of our 20 pass attempts were the two minute drill. 2 of the other 12 were shovel passes to Marshall. That leaves 10 passes in 2 quarters, compared to 17 rush attempts.
