Game Thread: #2 Ohio State @ Purdue now ABC

[TrustMeIamRight]

What's most surprising is I thought OSU would be immune to a game like that this year. I thought Urban was gonna be on a mission and OSU was gonna destroy all lesser opponents. Guess I was wrong.

OSU is polar opposite of years past. Their LB’ers are not good. Their safeties are not good. They had one of the top DL’s, but without Bosa, that isn’t the same. They rank near the bottom for most 30+ yard plays given up in CFB.

Offensively, they are one dimensional, which is fine until you get to the red zone and throwing the ball is much more difficult. Without Barrett, the R in RPO is non-existent as no one will key on Haskins. So it takes away one of the advantages OSU used in the past — the QB extending drives and now defenses don’t have to key on the QB so they have one more guy to chase the RBs.

Don’t get me wrong — OSU is a very good passing team. But if a team can limit the big plays and force them to go on long drives — it can bog the offense down.

This is definitely not a team ready to compete with the big boys this year. I couldn’t even fathom how many points Bama would put up on them after watching Minnesota and Purdue rack up yards.

Well, Ohio State isn't gonna be in the CFP due to a huge loss to an unranked opponent AGAIN!

This loss won't stop Urban from lobbying and politicing up until the layoff is announced

Well that sucked.

Hey bud. Nice game tonight. Lose to Purdue by 4 touchdowns and you and your boy Authority have been talking shit all season about losses to unranked shitty teams. Enjoy the karma bitch. Next time just shut the fuck up on SportsHoopla.

You sound like a fag.

Ohio State is out of the top 10 or we riot! Who's with me?!?

Can we stop pretending that Saban and Urban are 1a and 1b...Saban hasn't lost by more than 14 while at Alabama, this is Urban's third year in a row getting schooled by 4 td's or more.

Who says they are 1a and 1b? Saban made his ass quit once already. It's Saban >>>>> Meyer, Swinney >>>>> a handful of coaches >>>>>> everybody else at the moment.

With all the talent he's squandered he is clearly not in the same zip code. Their one title was against an entirely fraudulent Oregon team they beat with a 3rd string QB.

they did beat Saban right before that Oregon game with the same 3rd stringer though.

Fair, but you expect a reasonable challenge for the title and half the top 4 were just bad. Ducks beat a fraudulent FSU team and then got boat raced by the bucknuts. They weren't even a speed bump.

I'll talk shit whenever I please, squeaky. Just relax

Oh, and me pointing out your ridiculous attempt to defend Florida's loss to UK by saying it was the 2nd week of the season, isn't really "talking shit", kemosabe

Florida is a much different team then it was in Week 2. Teams improve throughout the year. Florida team now would not lose to Kentucky at home

Lol ok? You know this for a fact? Congrats to you and the gata, squeaky

Mods, please sticky this thread.

Yeah but that was easily Sabans worst team he has had at Bama. That 14 team was 2TD worse than any other Saban Bama team(except 2007)

You don't want to play ohio state next week ... so, don't be trolling them!!

Meyer is scariest with big ass QB's IMO. I think he'd still be at Florida if Cam didn't steal that laptop - probably would have won another NC in 2010.

Jones was falling forward every time he got tackled, so was Elliot, knew we were fucked.
