[mall3013]

Do we cover the 34.5 points? Discuss?

I think we cover. The offense, especially the line, is going to come out angry at being called out last week. I expect a lt of points to be put up by the Bucks. Love game days!

Let's see how the defense does against a pretty good NIU offense? Like I said a few days ago, this will be a big production day for Bosa.

Wake up.. It's gameday..

Yep. I think the defensive backfield gets another chance to shine as well. I have been very pleasantly surprised with how well Conley has been playing. I'll throw a prediction of 52-17 out there.

COnley has been playing very well. It seems like he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

I want to see the offense click more today, I get last week was a short week but now let's kick some ass

Hubris!

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Garbage

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Starting tomorrow I am fully forgetting about this game and jus talking forward to improvements vs western Michigan.

What a shit show, especially at the shoe.

All that matters is the win and that we hir stride at the end but cmom that was poorly coached and played.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Find a qb and stick to him. Throw out our playbook and just have plays involving Zeke between the tackles.

 

[PIBuckeye]

WTF is wrong with the Buckeyes! they look like they've progressively gotten worse from the VT game...........
that was the sloppiest, ugliest win I've ever seen. 5 TO..........

They better get their shit together, because the cupcakes are coming to an end. I don't think W. Mich is as good as NIU, so its time to put it together next Sat. and laydown an ass kicking.

Could've been worse though. look at bama......

The turnovers have got to stop. They can't keep winning turning the ball over 3+ times

 

[Xulu Bak]

Turnovers are obviously bad, but I'm concerned with how the offense looks in general. It's not like they're turning it over in the process of putting up 500+ yards of total offense. NIU is better than people were giving them credit for, but 298 yards, 14 first downs, and 2/13 on third down is absolutely terrible (against any level of competition), especially with the talent Ohio State has on offense.

That said, the defense has been beastly for 11/12 quarters so far. I don't think they're there yet, but I think they have the potential to be better than the 2002 defense by the time we get to years end.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Does the reckoning finally fall on Western Michigan? Been waiting for a historic offense, now I'll just be happy to look competent on offense

 

[Sgt Brutus]

I should clarify, by reckoning I mean we destroy their defense and put up 60+

or is Urban experimenting and waiting to unleash the beast in B1G play.

Whatever is the case Urban has earned my trust I am not going to question him but I am allowed to be a little concerned with the play

Cardale to start to start this Saturday.
