The Rose Bowl: Buckeyes/Ducks

[jb]

Worst part about today is nothing but college hoops after this and the 7th . Causes eyeball damage until the conference tourneys.

Pro hoops?

Yeh, and the real NBA regular season starts in a few weeks, too.

God I miss football when its away.

[angrybeaver]

Great job. Huge 3 points.

I'll take this first half.

Me too.

ST's is killing the bucks more than anything.

Don't let let start from closer than the 30, and I think we are totally fine on D.

These drives starting from 40+ have to stop

Plus side - despite Warrior's objections, no sign of tressell ball yet.

You just jumped on me for saying that!!

[jb]

Got-damn, Oregon has some MASSIVE heffers in thier band....they were pretty pathetic as a band as well.

Normally I would never comment on the band, but tbdbitl is going to make them look reeeeeeeeally bad.

JCoz, I kn ow you cool butchu have to watch that. Band smak?

Know how you can tell a geek in denial? They make this statement:

"No, really. It was cool to be in the band where I went to high school."

It's never been cool to be in the band where I'm from. But seriously, did you see that? They have at least 3 people that were pushing 3 bills.

It catches the eye.

Point taken though, no more band smack.

Then yer from the real world.

Just breakin' balls.

And people think Ohioans are fat.

Now I get it bro.

I thought you were calling victory at 1/2 time.

Let's see if JT can keep it open and score enough to let the D do their thing just enough to win.

I hope y'all got plenty of nails left to bite.

Tressel ball is weak when you have better athletes than the opponents (read all of the Big Ten). When you have less athletes, go with your strength. No one really thinks it's better to give Oregon more offensive TOP, right?

[angrybeaver]

I hope we go back to a more balanced attack on offense. We knew Oregon wasn't going to respect the pass early on... they are now... haven't seen any pressure since the 3 and out. Now's the time for us to run all over them. Turn Boom and Saine loose!!!

Defense playing their hearts out. I knew we were going to have a tip-pick... every play D line has their hands up. A couple lapses, but overall they're doin what they do. Keep it up Silver Bullets.

Stop being right.

[furls]

Have to stick with the ballance. If Oregon is going to bring 8-9 in the box, you have to pass, sorry. Not so special teams are killing the Bucks right now.

[jb]

They'll go for it.

[Erie Warrior]

I understand the importance of balance, but with 2/3 less TOP, Oregon is within 1 score of leading this game. Bucks are averaging 3.1 YPC. Run more, run the clock, pass when appropriate.

Don't want to argue / rag out w/ this barn burner, but puntin' repeatedly on 4th and 1 from your own side of the 50 isn't gonna hewlp you vs this O either.

O has to answer on scoreboard; D can't win this game.

[angrybeaver]

2 4th down conversions. Completely unacceptable. Finish.

D can't make the big stop. Not a good sign.

[Erie Warrior]

Dynamite throw. Excellent.

[jb]

First showing of bad TP.

ugh

[angrybeaver]

ugh

No shit. Good read on the blitz and getting rid of it quick... but Christ, he's WIDE OPEN. HIT HIM!! Get 6 and wipe Masoli's smile right off that prick's face.

[angrybeaver]

Make. A play. On special. teams.

[jb]

Needed that just a little

[angrybeaver]

Needed that just a little

Yeah just a little.

[municipalmutt]

Bad TP bad.

[jb]

Just wow.

[angrybeaver]

Quote from announcer: "Looking at the scoreboard, this is a Buckeye kind of game."

Fuckin right. Let's finish it.

[jack_tors]

Outside of the field goals, are special teams are playing like ass. Allowing long returns, no yardage when we return kicks. Its freaking ridiculous.

No shit! Add an extra 20-30 yards to each of their drives, and I'm betting we come up with a big stop.

[furls]

Special teams are killing the bucks and if they think we are going to continue to match Tds with FGs well, we can all predict that outcome. The D is playing GREAT, the O has been acceptable if awkward at times. STs are what is keeping the Ducks in the game.

[jb]

Just not a "Lagarrette Blunt, what a great comeback story as MVP". That would be soooo TCE

Convenient how he gets to come back and play just in time for the Civil War and Rose Bowl... Love that he's got a fumble, even if he's got a TD too.

Yes but up by 12 w out Pryor's mistakes

[Erie Warrior]

Good decision by Pryor, if it anit there, tuck and run.

Shades of RIcky jean Francios with that comment. Let's hope for a no repeat of that situation....

[JCoz]

I don't want to be negative, but I'm thinking......no TD for the bucks b-4 the end, no win for the bucks......

[Erie Warrior]

Ballard = Huge

[peeker643]

Tremendous throw from Pryor there.

[Erie Warrior]

BINGO!, just broke into the bourbon!

[angrybeaver]

Ballard, quiet all day... may have just made the play of the game. DAMMIT ALL CAN YOU FEEL IT???!!!

[peeker643]

Reminds me of the Gonzales catch against UM.

[jb]

Wow.

Ducks answer ?

Bucks burn clock but don't score?

D vs Ducks O up by 2 with a minute left and 80 to go?

[peeker643]

5 minute drive for a TD too. Grinding clock.

Never seen such shaky special teams play from a Tressel team.

[daddywags]

They should just kick the ball out of bounds on every kickoff. Would save us yards every time.

[jb]

BINGO!, just broke into the bourbon!

With these STs make it a double

[Erie Warrior]

Oh baby jeebus, one more score!!!!

[Madre Hill, Superstar]

We are go for Tresselball, I repeat we are go for Tresselball.

[peeker643]

We are go for Tresselball, I repeat we are go for Tresselball.

Oregon defense is gassed too. Saine or Herron get a crease and they're gone.

[jb]

Trrrrble decision.

Trrrrble.

Thanks Chip

[jb]

Put yer head down big boy

[Erie Warrior]

get Zach Boren on the edge killing LBs on the ol' Student Body Left.

[Madre Hill, Superstar]

Let's just call this the Terelle Pryor Bowl.

[angrybeaver]

I am absolutely loving Tressel's intensity today. I've never seen him have more emotion or look more pissed. Even in '03.

[jack_tors]

This Oregon defense is utterly forgettable as I anticipated they would be.
