OSU is becoming a bit predictable with their running schemes. As someone who knows SEC considerably more by playbooks/style, do they ever run bootleg? Seems it'd help them considerably.



But now the Buckeye D needs to make a stop. 5 minutes is plenty of time for the Nit offense, though I think OSU's defense has been solid in stopping X/Z/slot plays. Then again, I get the feeling Moorhead has been saving some clever additional Saquon plays for the second half.
We shall see. Expect a lot of points in second half, the way this is going.

You see, that should be a penalty. He pulled him out of bounds before the ball got there. The refs are shaky.

I don't think that's DPI by the letter of the law, but the zebras need to be consistent about what is and is not going to flagged. Given the prior call against OSU, that needs to be thrown, auto first.

I'm rooting very hard for Ohio State but I'll be honest, that wasn't an obnoxious call. The PSU guy had it first.

What in the world? Don't think that was remotely conclusive enough to overturn that call from any angle I personally saw unless they lined up two frame-by-frame shots or something.

Thought the call on the field was correct as initially called though, so my course of action would be interception, followed by upholding.

Also, last 10 min in Iowa St.-TCU has been crazy - great pick by TCU where he barely stays in bounds, then an almost pick-6 by Iowa St., then a pick-6 by TCU called back for offsides, then Iowa St. misses a chip shot FG.

What an awful tackle by OSU. Can't complain about the refs when a team fails to execute like this (even though there have been some bad calls against OSU).

84 is a big receiver, 6-4 and 230. And fast. Juwan Johnson. He won that matchup.

Yes he is big, but the defender had him completely wrapped up. One would hope that the defender would make the tackle.
I apologize in advance as my initial post wasn't meant to take away from the awesome play by the receiver, just meant to point out that the defense had a chance to make a stop again and failed.

No problem. It has been a sloppy game for OSU.

Huge replay call coming in Michigan State. Called a td catch on the field. Not enough to overturn. Extra point pending, to tie it up with 25 seconds left at Northwestern

TCU about to get the ball back with a minute and a half left, down 7, no timeouts. Iowa State punting from inside their 10. TCU going to start at their own 47.

I hadn't watched any TCU games before today - how the heck were they undefeated, they looked terrible.
Their defense is very good. Their offense is average. Iowa State is actually a pretty good team, they were the ones that ruined Oklahoma's undefeated season too.

Hell, if the announcer knew OSU practiced an end-around two-point play during Thursday's practice ... Looked like the Nits knew it, too.
