So... that started off fast. Hope with a good call to get the FB out in the flat against the cement legged Storm Klein. Ugh.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:17 pm

Storm Klein is so bad it is completely comical. If you didnt think he was bad before, the fact that teams are designing plays specifically to go at him provides insight into what a vulnerability on the field. He is a target out there.

You cannot tell me that Perkins, Marcus, Williams, Boren, Perry, Roberts, etc. could be any worse. Seriously, get that kid off the field. I feel bad for him now.

by **fairvis** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:20 pm

That was a completely terrible call. He's down on the ball!

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:28 pm

Yeah, that was a terrible call. Didn't really matter, as the Bucks D held, but it was a bad call.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:54 pm

And the Buckeyes sleep walk through the first quarter offensively. Defense looks better. Some nice wrinkles out there. On that 3rd down play they had Spence and Williams at end. Looked like Simon was playing LB.

by **fairvis** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:54 pm

Well, that was a bad quarter. 86 yard pass, fumble, KR TD. Ugh.

by **fairvis** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 2:26 pm

This offense is stuck in neutral still. At least the D's playing better since that first play. Probably because Klein's ass is glued to the bench.

by **StewieG** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 2:28 pm

Klein's not hurt, but he does have a nasty case of the sucks, Joey.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 2:37 pm

Notice how the D got worse the second he was back on the field? He is a LOUSY player. I don't think he could start at the bottom of the MAC let alone at a top 10 team. He is laughably bad.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 2:37 pm

They should be allowed to penalize Kewan Short 2X on that play. That was ridiculous.

Nothing a helmet/shot to the knee and a golf cart ride off the field wouldn't fix.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 2:43 pm

Strom Klein is the worst LB in the history of football.

Braxton was down and had the ball.

Can we please stop running Hyde wide on the option?

Devin Smith is lazy and made no effort to catch that ball.

Worst first half they've had

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:27 pm

This defense is just bad. They just got run down the field on the same play 15X (slight variations but the same play) without an adjustment. Please tell me that putting Nathan Williams on the trips was part of the design on that play!

This is terrible. The complete lack of defensive passion is gut wrenching and making this game almost impossible to watch.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:33 pm

We all knew they were gonna trip up and lose some game they have no business losing.

by **fairvis** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:39 pm

Shit. That looks like a collarbone/shoulder injury. Not good.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:39 pm

We'll see. This team can drop 28 in any given quarter. Hopefully, the start playing with some passion and do something here.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:41 pm

That looked like a head injury.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:43 pm

Looked like a shoulder, rib or wind knocked out to me.

Let's see if the soft, jazz stylings of Kenny G can rally the troops.

by **municipalmutt** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:45 pm

I guess horse collar tackling is allowed in college?

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:50 pm

Didn't look like a horse collar. My son guessed collarbone, and that sounds about right based on the way he fell and the pain of the injury. If you have ever broken your CB, you know that it would cause that kind of pain.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:52 pm

Twitter is split between a shoulder or head injury.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:55 pm

I'm so sick of the missed tackles.

by **dmiles** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:56 pm

When you break a collarbone do you lift your arms up around the guys helping you off the field?

I was watching on the tiny screen(PC) and it looked like the defender brought him down with a pull of the jersey from behind the neck. Screen is small so I could have missed it. Either way tOSU defense still sucks.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:58 pm

Game over.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:59 pm

That safety was a terrible call regardless of whether it was on 78 or 86.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:59 pm

BS call.

Refs have only missed about 22 holding calls on Purdue so far.

You have to be damn sure about that call in that situation. Jesus H.

by **fairvis** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:00 pm

Yeah, I'd pretty much be thinking that's the game at this point. I shouldn't start game threads.

by **googleeph2** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:02 pm

I wonder if the Purdue HC has ever been told to try to clap like a grown man.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:07 pm

Our Heisman hopeful QB leaving in a damn ambulance........ What more could go wrong?

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:07 pm

Purdue becomes their own worst enemy on offense by trying to run out the clock. Now tOSU needs a drive and a conversion. Has an 8 point game ever felt so out of reach?

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:08 pm

This reminds me of last year's MSU game where tOSU lost 10-7 but it felt hopeless the entire game. It just doesn't feel like the Buckeyes are up for this game, particularly on O.

You're an Ohio sport fan and you are asking that? Really?

by **fairvis** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:14 pm

Terrible call on that delay. And Kenny can't make it happen. Ugh.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:17 pm

Well at least now we can stop pretending that this is a good team.

by **Squints** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:17 pm

Kenny makes me yearn for the days of Joe Bauserman

by **Gradysmanldy** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:17 pm

I hope Braxton gets on the drip in a hurry, guy looked pretty shaken up.

My guess is a neck/collarbone. Just completely smashed.

Also: Less important, but I'm bummed that this gives scUM a chance at the win that they never would have had, previous to today.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:20 pm

Bucks should get another shot with about a minute left in the game.

by **peeker643** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:20 pm

dmiles wrote:When you break a collarbone do you lift your arms up around the guys helping you off the field?

No way. You don't sneeze or cough much less have your arms around the shoulders of others. If it was serious neck/head he doesn't get up like that unless training staff is foolish, right? It ain't collar bone.

But with or without Braxton, what a well-oiled machine the offense was today.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:21 pm

Punt return for a TD?

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:22 pm

Good call on raising the arms. Not possible with a collarbone. Shouldn't have picked him up with a neck or head injury.

by **peeker643** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:30 pm

What a tremendous call and design on the 2-pt conversion.

Excellent.

by **fairvis** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:30 pm

Kenny "Balls of Steel" Guiton. Wow.

by **peeker643** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:31 pm

Now don't give up yet another 100 yd return, a-holes.

by **Gradysmanldy** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:33 pm

This defense in overtime: terrifying.

by **furls** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:33 pm

Purdue was no match for Kenny G's late game contemporary jazz heroics. Let's see if that transfers to OT!

I wanted guiton to run around the right end.

The call was much better, agree.

The TD review might have helped them reset and execute?
