OSU vs. PSU game thread

[furls]

Well, I am back for what is probably my last OSU game of this season....

GO BUCKS

[furls]

Nice job there by JB "The Drive Killer" Shugarts. Man those false starts hurt. 2&4 to a punt.

The Buckeyes look flat and uninspired.

The Buckeyes look flat and uninspired.

To say the least.

They better wake the fuck up quickly.

And maybe the corners could give another bus width worth of cushion to the PSU receivers too.

They're being embarrassed.

[Sea Foam Green]

Defense is making this kid look all conference.

If Musberger says Moxie one more time, I swear to God....

[trsteve1]

How bad does Pryor gotta feel? Gettin outperformed by a guy "he's never heard of"

[motherscratcher]

Brent Musburger is one of the best commentators around. I'm really impressed by his ability to speak so clearly with McGloin's cock in his mouth.

[motherscratcher]

Why is Saine still getting meaningful carries?

[peeker643]

One of those games where everything seems to be going wrong. But the Buckeyes started that process with their umpteenth shitty possession in the red zone early.

[furls]

There is just NO FUCKING continuity on the offensive side of the ball.

[furls]

That defense is pretty vanilla especially if you are facing a green QB.

[peeker643]

Great effort on the dump pass and on bouncing the next one outside by Boom.

[dmiles]

Boom playing well. Pryor really showed a burst there on that first zone read. I hate when Saine is the option on that play.

Need Pryor's legs here.

[peeker643]

There is just NO FUCKING continuity on the offensive side of the ball.

The Boom 3rd down pickup gave 'em a boost.

[furls]

I like that bootleg. Even if everyone is covered, TP will get 5

[furls]

Where has that Brandon Saine been. Nice blocking up front on the TD

[peeker643]

Pretyy drive.

About GD time they showed up.

[furls]

Re: Continuity.

Sometimes when I watch the offense it seems like they are running pass/run plays simply for the sake of balance or something. I really feel like there are times that the just flush possessions down the toilet with some non-sensical play calling.

This last possession, the Buckeyes did a nice job of mixing running plays to keep PSU off balance, including that read option that was run 2X for about 30 yards of the drive. It was a nice mix of inside and outside running. It was the first time I felt like there was an actual gameplan on offense.

[peeker643]

/Knock on door

"Hey everyone, it's the Buckeyes. They showed up after all."

[furls]

Let's see if they decide to tighten up the coverage on the WRs and run some blitzes on this QB. Personally, I think they should blitz Gant on every down. He is out of position on most plays anyways, so he might as well do something useful.

[dmiles]

Herbie struggling the last 5 min. First he didn't realize Boom picked up the 1st down back inside the 20 saying OSU would punt. Then the kid who got hurt he didn't think the crushing block on Newsome could have hurt him? That was a violent collision. Probably a collar bone.

[furls]

Nice play, and let's keep the coverage tight, that kid will blow this game.

[furls]

Love the energy in the OSU defense

[peeker643]

OT Question: Is Brett Bielema the biggest asshole in college football or just the Big10? 83 effing points? That was necessary? That cocksucker needs to humbled. 'Bout ready to hope it's by some dread disease.

[furls]

OK BUCKS, put the hammer down.

[peeker643]

McGloin losing arrogance and swagger with each 2nd half series.

^^^^^

Maybe that going for two was a sign of things to come. Am I crazy to want to see Denard and Tate go up and down the field on them? Kissing your sister and all that.

[furls]

critical 3rd down

[furls]

2 wasted timeouts in the 3rd QTR, I really hope that this does not come back to bite the BUCKS in the ass.

[furls]

Nice pick up on 3rd. Lots of helmets flying around.

[motherscratcher]

McGloin losing arrogance and swagger with each 2nd half series.

Have you heard any updates on his moxie?

[motherscratcher]

shit

[peeker643]

Ahh...

Lazy and late with the throw.

Perfect.

Christ.

[peeker643]

Does anyone under 65 use that word other than to sound 65 or older?

[peeker643]

Block a punt ya whores.

[trsteve1]

Pryor is a stud...

When is the light going to truly go on for him?
I understand he doesn't have the greatest receivers around him (certainly no one would compare any of them to Holmes/Gonzalez)... but still, he supposedly has so much talent.. he should be able to elevate the play of everyone around him, no?

ugh...

Also, someone should tell Tressell that it isn't against the rules to pass on 1st down.. just for something different...

[furls]

Just like I drew it up

[motherscratcher]

Just like they drew it up

Edit: Always a day late and a dollar short. Story of my life.

[trsteve1]

Always better to be lucky than good, eh?

[furls]

Just like I said, that kid will blow this game. Man takes some moxie to come out and throw a couple of pick sixes.

[motherscratcher]

I didn't see the replay. Did McGloin stare down the Buckeye's sideline again after this last TD pass?

[furls]

I don't know, I haven't been to the shoe in a while, but if they moved the Bucks bench underground in the middle of the field, then yes, McGloin did stare it down on his way off the field.

[leadpipe]

Someone wake up Joe, and tell him the second half didn't go quite as well.

And listen douchbag McCloin, having a good game against Michigan doesn't even count. Christ, they had trouble with the UMASS QB. Have a nice 3 plus years in the back-up roll. That staring act was as bad as Florida's KICKER last week.

[FUDU]

See what happens JT when you use TP's legs in different ways, but still doesn't use TP correctly in the red zone, not even close.

[tired]

2 defensive t.d.'s and one t.d. offensively that was tipped. Not the team I thought it would be. Boom impresses 190 yrds. rush. Where do we go from here ?

The literal answer is Iowa. ANd it's going to be more difficut after Northwestern beat them and got them re-focused yesterday.

Better not go in flat against a physical team again. They'll get the same result as Wisconsin regardless of Stanzi being an INT machine. If Stanzi isn't forced to throw he won't.

Honestly, Boom has impressed me all season long.

He's not just tough anymore, he really has gotten better. So weird, because he might be the most improved tailback I've ever seen.

Its just not really a position where you progress, if that makes any sense. His vision and cutbacks and stiffarm, all these are things he developed over time here.

Color me impressed, he is really growing on me.

I have basically nothing else good to say unless its about the Oline, Boom or Boren.

This was one of the worst passing performances from Pryor I've seen this season. He's a huge reason, maybe even the reason that this game didn't feel good. he missed open receiver all over the field, he got lucky on the long play when he didn't have to (had he threw to Sanz in the first place it would have been a righteous TD rather than lucky)...

Whatever, take me to next week.

Tress needs to take a serious step back and study what he can do differently during bye weeks. Iowa would have choked us out this week the way we came out.

Luckily we were playing one of the worst PSU teams you'll see.

[tired]

So true JC great post !!!

[FUDU]

JCoz I agree 100%, he has turned me around 180 degrees. I liked him but not as our main back (when the season started) but he has improved and IMO I think he is even a bit faster than he was last year and early this season.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

I'd agree with it being his worst performance, but after watching the replay of that tipped TD it looked like that ball hit Posey clean in the hands and he just whiffed. Then again maybe I didn't get enough of a good look on the 19 inch standard def TV we had goin at Buckeye Lake.....

And early in the game he overthrew a screen pass by about 15 yards, and I thank the dark lord Kromdor that he did, cuz that back was gonna get crushed. As a result of that late in the 2nd Q he threw a floater screen to Boom who had to save it from hitting the ground and probably didn't get the 1st down because of it. He just tries to get to fancy with the ball. Just wing it in there, young son!

And Matt McGloin is a total douche who got lucky Torrence missed him by a whisker on that 2nd TD pass, if DeVon gets there that ball is out and probably going for 6 the other way.
