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

[Captain Buckeye]

This team is such a slow starting team. We give up 6+ minute drives to start games and then we play with no urgency on offense.

I’d like to see some tempo here by the offense. We are going to need possessions in this game if this trend holds.

Playing scared

The middle of our D is charmin.

It’s not soft. Is just they don’t line up to stop an inside run. They always line up to rush the passer (and never get home).

This is CFB in the NIL age. The players don't play with a sense of pride. They don't fight for their school. They're mercenaries trying to make some money. It's minor league football now. The sport is dying.

Well so far the Northwestern players are

It’s a great idea until they go 3-and-out and have to put the defense right back on the field.

Oh stop… just a slow starting team. Nothing to do with pride or want to.

Our LBs don’t look like Lil ANIMAL.

I mean are we going to have to start handing out actual cocaine for these early games?

You never saw Cris Carter sleep walking through noon games, I'm just saying

Making my point. How much NIL $ you think they dole out? Those kids have something to prove.

 

[Onebuckfan]

What is happening?

Just open it up. Enough conservative BS

 

[Hetuck]

Ehhh.

Not worried….,,,,,yet.

I’m not worried about Northwestern at all. They’re not going to win this game. But look at it this way. We want them to have some confidence when they travel to Ann Arbor next Saturday. So it won’t hurt if they have a few successes today.

Whew! That play was so close to going wrong.
