I miss Herman.

I miss having a starting quarterback.

 

[TooTall]

Not one single play to try and stretch this defense yet, and they wonder why they can't move the ball. I get that it's rainy, but that can't prevent the offense from testing NIU's DB's

 

[buckeyesin07]

Receiver QB timing is bad...both QBs keep rolling into pressure...

Bingo. Left side was wide open for JT to run for a first. Instead, he rolled right into the pressure. He typically makes the right read in that situation.

I'm old school at heart, so maybe that's why I'm thinking our boys can overpower their boys if we go more physical on offense.

FEED THE BEAST...then hit them with play action later.

Wrote last week off as an issue of rest, so far it's looking the same. I need a drink or 13

 

[lvbuckeye]

Why don't these guys look like they've ever practiced together?

Because they're spitting reps.

 

[scarletngray]

We need to run north and south. Grrrrrrr

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Can someone please tell me exactly what Dontre Wilson does in practice to earn playing time?

 

[Onebuckfan]

This is an URBAN MEYER team?

 

[bukIpower]

I need more jet sweep... (someone Que the Christopher walken gif)

 

[youra6]

At this point, this does not look like a playoff or even B1G champion team. Lotta work to do. Talent is there, execution isn't.

 

[Drubuck]

PIC 6?

Yup they are playing wayyyyy too passively....

 

[Bucklion]

Cunningham can swallow a hayfork

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Does Ed Cunningham know where Illinois is located relative to Michigan?
