Game Thread tOSU vs. Rutgers (Homecoming), Oct 18th @ 3:30pm ET, ABC/ESPN2

Think we're seeing an agressive Urban trying to bulldoze our way into the playoffs. Going for it on 4th starters still in and throwing the ball. Clearly trying to make a statement

Maybe. Clearly not at the expense of health, though.

I think it's more trying to get JT game reps on a 4th down situation in a relatively stressful situation (close to the redzone) than anything.

They started it.

NO INJURIES!

 

[Buckeyebred97]

True, some of JT's passes have been bad throws. Not sure if its the rain or timing. Hoping its just an anomely and can work on chemestry with the receivers this week

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Might need to change my sig line. I don't care about them bitching about running up the score, but several are actively rooting for a cheapshot to take out JT. This I can not abide.

Notre Dame/Florida State. Who ya for? Meteor?

Domers, just like '93. I've never rooted for FSU and I'm not about to start now.

That chic can pull me out of the ice chest anytime

They pretty much have so far...

Points aside, last 2 drives have had a lot of missed tackles and blown assignments. Not containing edge, big gains on screens, etc.
Their RB practically walked into the endzone... and it's not like this is Alabama.
On the whole, progress has been steady and significantly better. But for those talking about playoffs, not there yet.

 

[Steve19]

They aren't that good...but I'm not going to complain about a game that has been controlled from the opening kickoff. Again, expectations.

I take your point. If this holds, then Rutgers will have averaged 17 points against TSUN, PSU, and Ohio State.

I'm sure the rain is a factor, but the weather isn't going to get better until they get to Indianapolis.

Seriously?

Damnit. Just call the game. No more injuries.

 

[SloopyHangOn]

Let's just get out of here. Rain in a non competitive game is a perfect storm to get someone really hurt.

 

[jlb1705]

Style points don't mean a damn thing if you don't have your guys next week. No disrespect to the guys that have been hurt so far, but it's time to shut it down before somebody more important gets injured.
