Can I just say how much I love our defense?

 

[TooTall]

certainly not TCU...I could see someone making a logical argument for MSU....maybe....

Only because of that marquee win against a team perceived to be a top 10 team. But that Oregon team will lose at least twice in conference play. Won't look that impressive when Oregon is sitting with 4 losses.

Need to come up and catch that punt. Lost a good 15 yds there

 

[Bestbuck36]

They need to put some checks into the QB's reads. When they only have 5 in the box, check to the run every single time. The next down they have 8 in there and we run for a short gain. Need to look at this stuff on film.

Love that play action on first down.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

There we go. Easy 7 yards. Love that play.

EZE

 

[ColoradoBuckeye]

I love the poise that JT is showing. He confidence is growing.

 

[Drubuck]

Hop Scotch

Then a damn false start

 

[osugrad21]

Zeke WOW

It is if you drink 1 every time you see a BUCKEYE defender :-)

Ok theres the lead. Now pour it on boys starting with the defense.

Where the hell is Joey Bosa?

there he is I'm a little late

 

[Bestbuck36]

Hahaha, Zeke with the 5 foot hurdle.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Holy crap! That might be the highest hurdle I've ever seen.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Nice helmet to helmet, NIU.

 

[Steve19]

Looking a bit better on 1st downs now

 

[TooTall]

Guess it's a good thing that defense wins championships. Gives this offense plenty of time to figure itself out. But I think the offense will run much more fluidly with JT making the plays behind center.
