Game Thread: Nebraska @ Ohio State 11:00 AM CST FOX

So does this eliminate us from the playoff .....

Yeah it's pretty evident that the Big ten is fixated on keeping Ohio State at number one I can't really blame them because it gives the conference the best chance to win a national championship however the conference is eating its own tail.

Oh boy

Fields had one incomplete pass dude. One.

Heard them talking about Olave, and said he didn't have the speed for first round. He's great in his routes though. He'll be a very successful pro cause he'll work.

Said the same thing about Michael Thomas. He wasn't fast enough

Guess they missed that td catch

Which Olave normally would have caught. That pass was a beauty, but in fairness, the Nebraska guys were hitting hard and that particular pass was dropped due being hit by the safety.

OSU looked much better in the 2nd half, when the better talent wore down the defense of Nebraska. They do have a few things to fix. The running game is a concern. A lot of good runners, but none great, at least from the first game. Defensive Line is a little shaky. How many times was Zach Harrison's name mentioned and the same with Jonathan Cooper. No premier sack masters like with the Bosa's and Chase Young. Did Baron Browning vanish during the game? The DB's held up pretty well. I swear I never heard Shaun Wade's name mentioned in any tackles or pass break ups, though maybe they didn't throw that way.

I mean, while many of us might not like the rule, most of those calls were correct (thought 1 was suspect)...the problem is they need to rewrite the rule.

Check the time - it was 12:30 PM (in the first quarter).

Never seen a defense so poorly coached as Nebraska’s was yesterday. If you watch a replay, 50% of the time the defender just launches their shoulder to make a tackle. No squaring of the shoulders and wrapping up. Numerous targeting calls. Every time you looked up there was a Nebraska defender just launching their body to tackle. That’s not going to hold up very well for them if that’s the only way they know how to tackle.

The pandemic may have a lot to do with it

It’s D1 football. At this level they should know better but I do agree the lack of play and practice attributes to sloppier play than usual.

How about consistency in calling them both ways?

I like the class shown here by both coaches

Like Nebraska ever had a chance

It seems like this Nebraska player is a runner, not defenseless and he also lowers his head. This is not a blindside hit to a defenseless WR running across the middle, for example.

Honestly, nobody knows the rules these days and we saw it in a lot of games Saturday.

OK, but not the same as a defenseless WR is it? RB lowered his head, too, didn't he? Hard to tell who is guilty with a still shot.

I'm not saying Nebraska would have won the game but the game would have looked a lot different in my opinion Ohio State got gifted 23 points they take that away minus the Podunk touchdown at the end that's 30 points off the board the game looks a lot different.

Again

They only forced one incompletion dude. Were you on Rivals by chance? Bruce?
