Game Thread tOSU vs Northwestern at Wrigley, Sat. Nov 16, 12pm ET, BTN

[RuGettinIt]

Another "one of them" games. Just infuriating that these are close longer than they should be. Defense needs to stop giving up drives early and shortening the games.

I’m beginning to think if we win the toss we should take the ball. I assume we won the toss?

I'm pretty sure @BB73 and @heisman are both at the game, so really this is all 100% their fault.

Banned from ever going to another game clearly

I was told we would be ready to go and not overlook them?

They're not overlooking them, it's just infuriating that they're hitting on these jump balls and the defense cannot get home on blitzes. It's either the QB gets rid of it or a scramble for 8 yards.

I don't think the Defense is bad by any means, but that #1 ranking is deceiving as hell.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

Please shorten the playclock to 30. These games are awful when bad teams just sit on the ball

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Defense playing sleepy.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

NW is now 4 for 5 on 3rd down. Unreal.

get them off the field in 3 plays and it don't matter.

Would also be nice if a 3rd and long stop could happen.

Maybe overlooking is the wrong word. Certainly not doing what we need to

The highlight of the Tyson-Paul ‘fight’ was Mike’s ass. That’s also the highlight of this game so far.

 

[1926Buckeyes]

3rd and 1, 3rd and 12, 3rd and 10. Does it matter?

 

[Bestbuck36]

Fuck! Get off the field Defense

 

[utgrad73]

Jeez. Come on already

What the hell is going on?
