Nah, it's true, which makes it all the more painful that we let this one slip away.
What a waste. We actually had a shot if he didn’t muff that punt. Waste of time watching this crap offensive and defensive line.
Taken as a whole, Braun's 4th down strategy the last three weeks looks like a team playing not to lose just yet. Iowa and today were particularly bad because it's not like we had Chiles to go hero mode if we got him the ball back.
Agree. We kinda sorta had a chance for a while before the two horrible calls sapped our momentum. But OSU has doubled us up in yardage and first downs. They largely manhandled us. The talent discrepancy, even in a bad OSU year, is striking.
I think Nicco has played better and better. Mine and Illinois are not OSU especially on D.
At least OSU will not be able to run up the score which I’m surprised they weren’t trying harder to do for the CFP rankings.
Absolutely ******* disgusting and insane catch there by Dehnicke.
I don't think OSU would drop so many guys back into coverage in a normal circumstane
Nice effort by the Cats esp getting the td at the end. Underwhelming performance by Ohio State at home. Jeremiah Smith is deserving of Heisman consideration. Maybe the Chargers can draft him
That is why every win is so sweeeeet.....lets send the gophers back into their hole next week....break the oar....make that boat drift in a sea of purplbe
Many Buckeye wallets were no doubt destroyed by our buzzer-beater TD. I don't like the loss bit I LOOOVE that ending. $$$
Yes, LOL. Muffing the punt return turned a 1-possession game into a 2-possession game.
Because they aren't in prevent all game and that's when the picks and sacks start piling up.
We let that 3-0 lead slip away. Otherwise, we can agree to disagree or it's just semantics.
With the ball down 1 score, we have a legitimate shot. And it should've been at worst a 4-point game at that point except for the refs overturning that incomplete pass out of bounds.
If we sacrificed a few downs earlier in the game by at least trying deeper routes it might have opened things up. Yet even late in the game on 3rd and 4th and long Marchiol wouldn’t even attempt it and would throw a check down for 2 yards. I mean, 4th and 21, throws a zero yard completion, throwing it deep and if it’s batted down it’s the same result, if they intercept it’s actually better. I don’t get it. Are they trying to tell him not to throw an INT at all costs? Seems like he holds onto the ball and almost always (except for those couple TD drives) throws to the check down.
