Game Thread: Ohio State @ Northwestern

[Doctor Krieger]

I still have no idea how we hung with you guys in 2011

I don't either haha...fucking Bert

What I take away from this game: Ohio State is not elite. They are beatable. They're a good team, not a great one, and they WILL lose a game this season.

After they played the two best teams they'll play this year ... without a loss.

Smart

Btw...Clemson hasn't played anyone. USCe is USCe. They can play good, are so inconsistent so hard to base off that game.

We know FSU-Clemson, one will lose. And Florida plays FSU. Then tOSU has scUM. Oregon has Stanford. Bama has LSU. Long season. Hard to say who is legit and who isn't.

It is all about matchups. tOSU disn't play well at all so to put up 30+ and play like shit, they did what they needed to do. You can win by 70 like Baylor every game and lose a game and all those style points you had before are thrown out the window.

If Bama, Clemson, and Oregon go undefeated, OSU will miss the NCG and so will Clemson.

Who?

Michigan, CCG, bowl game?

 

[Brasky]

Northwestern looking like the strongest contender to come see y'all again.

 

[Brasky]

Like I said. tOSU is good, not great. This team certainly won't go down in history as remotely iconic.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Couldn't play any worse. I hope we meet again, it was a good one.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Like I said. tOSU is good, not great. This team certainly won't go down in history as remotely iconic.

That 02-03 team was good as well. They barely veat Purdue in the final seconds and they were mediocre if that.

I am not saying we are great, this team has a lot of work to do and Brax needs to get more consistent. Need more playmakers on O and D. No team is great right now and I could see that at the end of the year too. This year will be fucked up, that is all I can say.

 

[Team Mookie]

Like I said. tOSU is good, not great. This team certainly won't go down in history as remotely iconic.

Just have to win and that's all. I really don't believe our 2002 Natty team was iconic compared to some of the Nebraska teams of the 90's or even the Miami teams in the 2000's, but we still got that crystal.

Brasky, I hope you guys have a better game plan against NW than we did. They can play some ball.

There is the possibility that Clemson will play an undefeated or one loss Miami team in the ACC CG. The season aint over yet. And Clemson is likely to be perceived as better.

We'll just have to wait and see.

 

[BucksFanInGA]

Clemson, if they win out, will go over tOSU, so would Oregon I think...

 

[Shanemansj13]

The way I see it.

If Oregon and Bama go undefeated they are in. That is pretty much a lock. So we just wait and see now.

 

[geneh_33]

That's the way I see it, but stranger things have happened so the best bet is just to wait and see what happens.

 

[BucksFanInGA]

Well the way I see it, if Clemson wins out, they'll have a win over UGA and FSU, not sure about the rest of their schedule, but so far those are 2 wins that are better than anything tOSU has at this point...

 

[podsox]

Just got back from the game. I was surrounded by buckeyes but they were a good crowd. Great game but disappointing result

 

[Team Mookie]

Have no issue if we go undefeated and end up in the Rose bowl. At this point I wouldn't want to play either Oregon or Bama.

 

[BTSBuckeye]

ALOT of football still to be played.

Ohio State just got over the biggest bumps on their schedule .. not many can say that. We will see ...

Brasky, I hope you guys have a better game plan against NW than we did. They can play some ball.

Trust me they have our attention. We showed improvement today vs a weak Illinois team, and we get two more tune up games @ Purdue and @ Minnesota before it's time for Northwestern and Michigan. Then we get a horrible Penn State team and a below average Iowa team.

I'll let you know how I'm feeling about our chances after the Northwestern game. We won't learn anything as fans until then.

Every team is beatable to all you naysayers. Even Alabama. The trick is too keep winning and hope we're at least at number 2 by the end of the season.
