Game Thread tOSU vs. Maryland (Homecoming), Sat 10/10 @ 12p ET, BTN

[Saw31]

What in the hell is going on with Boren. Fires the ball 30 yards behind the QB when he isn't ready. That's the second time in 2 weeks he has snapped when the QB isn't ready. That's unacceptable if it happens 2 times in a season let alone 2 games in a row. They need to fix that.

Wasn't Boren. 2nd stringer getting time.

His receivers dropped a lot of catchable balls....

Seemed like every 3rd and short passing play was thrown at the receivers feet also.

Wasn't Boren, it was the backup center

Let's go score again. If we're going to be petulant and spoiled, let's really be petulant and spoiled.

Maryland has looked terrible period until today. They can't go too wrong.

Has a ton to do with our defense. Well now we have to hear about being "exposed" up front and how the defense is upset all week.

The offense played well all game today so for the people saying we improved in the 2nd half you have to remember we did well in the first half too and if not for a missed FG we go up 24-7 at the half

This team, man...

This has become the theme for the season for me...

Another W; as bad as things have been at times we're still on track for the mission at hand.

WWWWWW -- not just a ton of teams that can claim the same. Are we #1? There's no such thing at the moment, rankings make assumptions about what will be and do not make statements about what is.

What IS, is that we're 6-0 and still have extraordinary room for growth, and that no matter what happens in the polls we're where we need to be.

Up next, putting a complete game together against PSU. It's going to happen.

Well lost the bet but the offense did what I thought it would do.

The defense......I don't even know what to say.

 

[Saw31]

Win and advance!!

Nice.

 

[TooTall]

Safe to assume Hackensack won't be running for 166 yards next week.

Negatives:
-Two big plays allowed and a perturbing number of yards allowed to the QB.
-Another missed FG
-More OL penalties (at least 4), 4 sacks, bad snap, just 4.1 yards per rush (5 if removing sacks)

Positives:
-ZERO turnovers
-only a couple defensive penalties
-passing looked better than it has all year - almost 80% completion, 10+ yds per attempt
-Much, much better in the red zone

They still have a number of areas to improve on, but this (eventually) felt like a step in the right direction.
