Game Thread tOSU vs. Kent State, Sept 13th @ 12pm ET, ABC or ESPN2

This. It's kind of hard to watch this game after last week. This game shows us nothing about Ohio State. The VT game today shows more about Ohio State than this game does to be honest.

The VT game showed us a lot about Ohio State LAST week.

I want to know how Ohio State is this week and how they will be in the future. While it's against a very poor opponent, I see a slight glimmer of hope for improvement

Virginia Tech is getting housed by ECU, but don't let that penetrate the dream. Start clearing space in the trophy case!

No shit, which is why I said Vtech is essentially making our chances slimmer than ever now. But yeah go ahead and be sarcastic and act like I said things I didnt.

No [Mark May], which is why I said Vtech is essentially making our chances slimmer than ever now. But yeah go ahead and be sarcastic and act like I said things I didnt.

Don't take it personally, that's kinda what Jake does.

45-0 at half = 90-0 final? lol

 

[Jake]

They'd better beat bye by 50 or else it won't tell us anything about Ohio State!

A bye before UC? Juggalos will take that as a sign of respect.

Can we get a different opponent in the second half?

 

[buckeyesin07]

This is fun but Kent are so lame it doesn't tell me anything. Will the Flashes even come back out after halftime?

It's an odd feeling when Fredo next week will feel like a measuring stick.

That game isn't next week--it's Sept. 27.

Agreed. It is a TERRIBLE opponent, but this game gives Ohio State a great opportunity to build confidence and try some things.

I don't give a Mark May whether people like it or not, I want to see Barrett and the O-line getting reps in the third quarter as well.

I'm afraid to see what our second string O Line looks like, but by that time Cardale will be running 14 straight QB draws.

Considering what happened last weekend, Kent State should be focusing on anus stretching. I think this one's gonna get ugly.

Just sayin

So far we have spent little to NO TIME in our base. Tons of five wide and trips which I take full credit for.

What I take from all of this is not much other than we have adjusted beautifully. If there was ever a time we can just line up regardless of the defense alignment and still make it work it would've been this game. Yet KSU shows the double eagle and we formation away from it.

Tons of ways to move the ball and just because someone takes away our base doesn't mean we cant move the ball in other ways

I'm envisioning a lot of that offset pistol nonsense this half.

 

[buckeyesin07]

Just sayin

Nice call--everyone I talked to this week was picking Kent in an upset.

I am extremely worried about UC.

I have 0 confidence in the offensive coaches and I don't believe that the problems on D have been solved. Until the D shows that they can stop a passing team then there should be real concern.
