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

[4four4]

are you saying that TCU has $EC speed..... JT goes 85 and no one catches him....BIG speed....

Cold speed there is a difference.

 

[Mike80]

Maybe he didn't now where he was, maybe he got some of that Holy Water in his eyes and thought this was the ESPN boards or something.

I mean, the rhetoric is pretty much the same.

I've heard those ESPN boards are easy to use. Can you confirm @4four4 ?

 

[Bill Lucas]

OSU is the best team in the Big Ten but they are not top four material this year.

You don't know this and that's just your opinion and we all know what they say about those.

 

[Mike80]

It didn't matter the best team won.

Then don't bitch about the obvious PI that led to the FG at the end of the 2nd quarter. Clearly it DID matter.

OSU is the best team in the Big Ten but they are not top four material this year.

So your team just got dominated offensively by a non elite team? I disagree.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

OSU 31 points, 498 yards, 7.8 yards per play, 3 turnovers, 4 punts
Minnesota 304 yards, 4.8 yards per play, 2 turnovers, 5 punts

TCU 30 points, 427 yards, 5.8 yards per play, 2 turnovers, 6 punts
Minnesota 7 points, 268 yards, 3.9 yards per play, 5 turnovers, 8 punts

I don't see any justification for TCU being considered markedly better than Ohio State.

 

[buckeyebri]

Referee made the wrong interference call at the three it should have been a OSU push off. At the end of the day it didn't matter

Right, the DB was right into him as he was going up for the ball...clear PI

OSU is elite they are a top 5 to 10 club.

 

[Mike80]

OSU is elite they are a top 5 to 10 club.

so wait - you say they could be a top 5 team but they aren't top 4 material?

That's homerism. There was no push-off. The defender got there early and was preventing the receiver from coming back to the ball. Very similar to the call made against us on the previous drive. The only difference was the Minnesota guy got his head turned around, but you are still not allowed to plow in to a receiver, head turned or not.

Ohio State FC?

 

[buckeyebri]

Sorry, but could you clarify the other 7 non-obvious gifted points by us from jalin and the 7 from the refs? In china and couldn't watch, so being serious not a prick.

Edit: from the post above so there was a pick 6 nullified? That sucks.

The pick in the first half while we were driving that they returned into OSU territory netted a score.

 

[matcar]

So you're comparing TCU at home in perfect conditions getting five turnovers and a short field to the conditions we just saw with three turnovers on the road? Just checking.

Turnovers are part of the game. Weather conditions affect both teams in them. We all agreed that was the case before this game was ever played.

 

[SloopyHangOn]

I don't see any justification for TCU being considered markedly better than Ohio State.

But, that speed. That's a dominating team that would never give up more points against a bad team like Kansas than they did to Minnesota.
