Ist Buckeye 300 yard passing day in 8 years...that is a pretty alarming and troubling stat

Not that alarming or troubling when we have never really been a pass first school

I'm depressed, I was hoping Lou Holtz would make some reference to Mark May about how OSU beat Kent St almost as bad as Mark May got awhile back.

Mark May didn't even use VaTech's loss to trash OSU. Shocked to say the least.

I was going to say it's been a while since we hit 300. Good for JTs progression rho

Carlos Hyde can make you forget all kinds of bad things

I'm running with the notion that VaTech sold out on beating us. Just wrapped their whole Spring and Fall around the perfect scheme to counter all of our positives and exploit all of our weaknesses. And it worked, seemed like we were play-calling scared all day on offense and never adjusted.

So they succeeded, but didn't have anything left in the tank, perhaps not even a gameplan, for the following week?

As far as us, this is what happens when our new QB has time to throw. I remain highly worried about our OL against any team with quality DL and LBs.

EDIT: Agreed, they blew everything that had on us and had nothing left. I've seen it a lot. NW last year, Iowa and Purdue in the past.

That team that Ohio State beat today will end up in the bottom half of the MAC. That said, the score could easily have been 94-0 if the first team stayed in. This was a good day against a very over-matched opponent. Two good weeks of practice, a relatively straightforward day on the field, another bye week, and we'll see exactly what we have this year.

I know it was only Kent St., but I was glad to see more secure tackling from the defense. Loved seeing actual passes to the tight end as well.

 

[Taosman]

So, I hear Kent ran a "bear" defense today and we countered with the option game. I think we'll still see that from a number of teams this year.

So, a win over the Baby Seals of Kent.

On to our next contest against Cincinnati, which actually looked pretty explosive against Toledo. Gunner Kiel has arms the size of tree trunks.

This team is sloppy sometimes...nearly through watching the first half and they've had two plays with only 10 men on the field (punt return and defensive play) and one where two #25's were illegally on the field together (kickoff coverage right before the defensive play with 10 men). Isn't the setback coach supposed to handle this?

Yes, I'm being facetious but the above really happened.
