my throat hurts so much today

That's what she said

Not to sound too cliche (or to sound like Frosty)....

I was very happy/pleased to see how cerebral the offense appeared - especially players like Barrett and EZE - throughout the entire game. It's like they knew instinctively exactly what needed to happen and when. The obvious mistakes were very few and far between.

Really passed the eyeball test...

They also played with physicality.

"In space"?

 

[bukIpower]

It was. Perfect blend of using speed and power looks... setting up the big hits with playaction

 

[Jaxbuck]

"In space"?

Like Miss Piggy

1. If I remember correctly, last night when the Bucks missed a tackle early in the game Fowler said something about that being out of character because they either led the nation or were close to the top in fewest missed tackles. Not sure exactly because I wasn't paying that much attention to him and Frosted Tips.

It was the missed tackle by Conley on the first TD of the game. Fowler said Ohio State never missed tackles (he emphasized never) and Ohio State led the nation in fewest missed tackles (30?).

ESPN reality check here: A "missed tackle" seems like a real subjective thing. Has anyone ever seen any official NCAA statistics on missed tackles?

and I'm also not sure, but is Connor Cook from Northeastern Ohio?!?!

 

[TooTall]

Michigan State just couldn't get it done playing that Stanford brand of football.

Not sure if sarcasm, but yes he is.

Not sure. I'll have to go look it up.

He probably isn't because if he were that's the kind of thing ESPN talking heads like to beat to death during a broadcast and we didn't hear much about it.

 

[buckeyebri]

Err, Cook...whatever. All those goofy sparty QBs look the same to me.

One Sparty QB from Ohio is just like another Sparty QB from Ohio...so many Sparty kids from Ohio....playing with chips on their shoulders......

 

[Mike80]

Not sure if sarcasm, but yes he is.

You clearly watched the game on MUTE yesterday, didn't you?

 

[ScriptOhio]

How all away games should end.

We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan.
