Game Thread: #2 Ohio State at. Indiana, 8 PM EST, ESPN (Thursday, August 31st)

That seems fair. The projected outcome is 39.5-18.5 in favor of Ohio State based on the spread and o/u line. Plus this will give me all of 1 day to have my own avy before I lose it do to ND losing to UGA. lol.

Your avi

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.

I dont put too much into it. Indiana has given us major problems in the past few years so this is nothing new.

Had I known IU was going to run a play every 10 fucking seconds I wouldn't have made the bet. OSU's offense wasn't even that good and still scored half a hundy.

Still got over 40

Obviously, but it wasn't all that impressive IMO.

Good game by the Hoosiers. Just more depth and talent on Ohio State. Cannot start slow like that next week against the sooners

 

[osubuckeye89]

I usually dont buy into camp hype but JK Dobbins is the real deal. Weber better get healthy quick or hes gonna find himself on the wrong end of the "split carry" situation

Nasty moves

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

Looks like he's on the depth chart behind Antonio Williams. Must have had a bad camp or something?

There were rumors early on in camp that he was in the doghouse for some reason. I dont think hes hurt do that would make sense.

After watching that game, I anticipate Richard Lagow to Simmie Cobbs Jr. causing a lot of B1G headaches this season.

Congrats to the Hoosiers on a valiant effort. That team will win a lot of games.

Took the Buckeyes longer to get going than I would have liked.

Happy for Parris Campbell that he was able to redeem himself after dropping two passes including a wide open TD.

JK Dobbins broke the Ohio State record for most yards in a game by a freshman running back. He is as good as advertised. Antonio Williams is pretty good, too.

Defensive coaches made good adjustments at half time. Offensive coaches made adjustments at half time. How refreshing!

The best thing about being 1-0 is you have a chance to be 2-0.

 

[Wishbone]

Yeah game was closer than the final score. Dobbins looks exactly like Quentin Griffin running the ball, I had to do a double take. He's going to be a good one.

Well the first half was anyway. Hopefully we don't get that slow of a start against you guys next week or I can just imagine they were withholding the playbook to give less for Oklahoma to look at. Yeah. Withholding the playbook

Yep it is the first game with JT being the only guy from last years offense that was a starter basically. Dobbins only played bc Weber was hurt and it was his first career game. They have A LOT of work to do

Is Dobbins Clarett Jr? Lol maybe so

I love that you are taking so much interest in this game.

It was the only P5 vs. P5 game on, on the first real day of college football and it involved our rival.....

Ohio State didn't look that great, but I don't take much stock in first games anyway.
I think they were concerned mostly with;
1. Breaking in a new Offense.
2. Showing as little as they could

JT is the one guy that still worries me. A lot of experience, but just isn't all that effective unless he's running the ball. He's a tough guy, but can he last the entire season?

Biggest thing I saw they need to be concerned with is those new DB's.

As long as a team doesn't have a receiver like that Cobbs kid I think they will be ok. I'm more concerned with the passing game. They better establish a ground game before they start going crazy with throwing.
