Game Thread: Ohio State vs. Wisconsin

[Moab]

Well congrats Bucknuts. Nice game. That TD pass at the half was a killer.

Buckeyes look legit this year but your secondary needs some work (so does ours obviously).

Yup...was Southward the dork that gave up the TD at the end of the game 2 years ago too?

When Wisconsin has to abandon the run game, bad things happen.

To be fair, they didn't really have to at the start of the 3rd quarter, but their OC thought it might be a good idea...and it wasn't...

Illinois, Iowa, Northwestern.......could be trap games for you guys.......though.....good luck

All I know is that if we win out, and tonight is our only legitimate loss, we better fucking go to a BCS game. OSU played clean football and still had to sweat at the end. And they are a damn good football team who should cruise through the B1G.

Hopefully OSU wins out and goes to the BCS Title Game, so we can finally take home that Rose Bowl.

If Wisconsin is as good as you think they are they should easily win out. My god, the schedule the rest of the way is an embarrassment even for B1G standards.

We needed a close game like that. Builds team character. Wisconsin game starting to become big rival game. Too bad we don't play next season.

There's always Indy.

I just don't like being so conservative in 2nd half. I know a win is a win and they are playing with a lead, but it is what it is.

Good game.

I fucking hate playing Wisconsin. Our secondary is shit. Fix it.

Right, the athletic department sets it up that way...

Yup.

Well him and Cromartie. Cromartie's specialty was getting torched for 40+.

 

[BucksFanInGA]

Also is it just me or does the offense run so much better with Guiton? Braxton just has too many negative plays and tries for the homerun way too often when it's not there.

 

[Team Mookie]

There's always Indy.

Wouldn't mind a rematch.

Don't really know what you're getting at, but the schedule is incredibly weak.

Your run D was solid though. We had zero big running plays today, with a couple of backs who average at least a few runs for 20+ per game. No jet sweeps for Gordon, etc.

Wisconsin is not going to beat you with the pass this year.

Stop bitching and join the Big Ten if it is so easy. Seriously doubt ND would displace the big boys. Just saying...

I mean next season and 2015. We'll be in opposite divisions.

I agree completely. We get Northwestern at home off a bye and Penn State at home Thanksgiving weekend. I could maybe see another loss there, but i'd be stunned if we were short of 9-3.

And if you think our schedule is bad this year, check out 2014 and 2015. We open with LSU and Bama, but the rest of our schedule is pretty much all bottomfeeders. Nebraska/Northwestern are the second toughest game on our schedule.

I agree that our run d is pretty decent. But we had one receiver to worry about and you still carved us up with him. Didn't Abby have a fucking career high in yardage tonight?

last year ND would have, this year ND sucks. So the Big 10 though so who knows?

Debatable...
