Another game against OSU, another game of only playing 2 and a half quarters. Disappointing. I expect to be able to run the ball most games though so we should at least win 6 this year. I ain't mad.

First half was a wreck but they stepped it up in the 2nd half. Something seemed to click for Barrett and he started making better reads and throws. Dobbins is electric.

You got yourself a player in Cobbs.

Game has gone about how I thought it would. People will point to this as flaws for Ohio St, but I truly think Indiana is a bowl team this year. They just don't have the depth to play with a team like Ohio St for 4 quarters.

Didn't think they'd cover, what a turn that was in the 3rd

Opening the season with a conference road game is tough. Even if it is an average team like Indiana.

I hate it when scores end in 7 point increments.

A 4 TD win on the road against a conference opponent wouldn't get a second look deep in the season. You guys were on the big stage tonight with everybody watching so people will claim your team is flawed. It's gonna happen.

Watched the whole game in the living room with the big tv so I couldn't post. Well it wasn't the greatest, but we certainly have plenty of talented players. Lousy play in the 1st half. Barrett needed to carry the ball more in the 1st half. Defense played as well as it could. Dropped balls, especially the one by Campbell in the end zone can eat your heart out.

First half was a mess but they fired it up in the 2nd half.

We need 2nd half JT Barrett the rest of the year

I dont think many other teams have WRs like Cobbs who they can chuck up jump balls to all game. Secondary needs to play better next week for sure though.

You're right, but how many top teams will look bad for a half against a conference opponent this year? I wouldn't read too much into it. If it becomes a trend, then maybe you have something to worry about.

One can only hope that the pass receiving improves as the year goes on.

What happened to McCall? He played HB a few times last year for the 2nd team and looked great. Anybody know?
