Game Thread tOSU vs. Illinois, Nov 1st @ 8pm ET, ABC

[Buckeye86]

I think this type of game is better than a bye week imo...no pressure, no injuries, get some more playing time and work in

Only problem being Barrett missed a lot of wide open throws and didnt really do anything to gain confidence or momentum going into next week.

True but they're reps and you could see his decisions were right. Just has to make the throw now

On a positive note, I really liked the touch on the td to Smith. Perfectly thrown.

It'll take a throw like that and a tough catch like that to win next week.... last year against MSU we dropped one of them

Kiss what???

Cold. First game I've ever left before Carmen, Ohio.

Great to see such good play down the depth chart in the second half.

I have all of that including the hand and foot warmers plus two blankets. Getting ready to leave soon. We're in Worthington.

We only had one blanket, but we did have hand warmers. All-in-all the weather wasn't too bad, and had a great time. We're just off 270 on the west side at a Courtyard.
Liked a lot of what I saw tonight, including Cardale throw the ball in the second half. It was a good game in preparation for next week.

 

[buckeyeintn]

And made it through Carmen Ohio!

 

[Bill Lucas]

I think we are at the same courtyard. Vantage drive off of all the construction on 23.

Getting ready for the drive back to Virginia.

Looking back, so glad to see Cardale get some real game reps. What is becoming a fact: you can't play zoom, zoom football without at least two QBs or one hell of a defense to cover up your offense while your #2 has to play. Next year the Bucks could have the luxury of three more-than-capable QBs plus one hell of a defense. The question seems to be, can they hold Cardale with Barrett and Miller on the roster?

 

[muffler dragon]

Was Corey Smith on the field last night at all? I don't recall seeing 84 on O.

 

[buckeyeintn]

Yes, he played in the 4th quarter. Possibly also the 3rd.

 

[CookyPuss]

Play of the game by Jack Tatum, errr Cardale Jones. And it didn't even count.

Only problem being Barrett missed a lot of wide open throws and didnt really do anything to gain confidence or momentum going into next week.

However, depending on how his knee feels today, may make him more willing to plant on it next weekend.
