We had a good Mo going until McShe missed an ankle wrap. Gotta get off the field whenever we have chance..

Not one for Gideon's highlight reel.

Still, this one feels within reach. Big drive coming up.

What's with all of the missed tackles? Are the OSU players that much stronger than our guys? Our defensive schemes were fine. Our guys just can't tackle today.

Why are we always running it up the middle? Do we think Jackson isn't fast enough to get to the edge?

The pass rush schemes are fine. This game would be completely different if we were making our tackles.

Missed tackles aside ya can't let him sit back there for 5 seconds to throw. Sooner or later someone will get open. Which is what is happening Then we miss a damn tackle

Unless if we have a secret pass play designed for one specific moment. Wait, we tried twice already..

OSU players are just that much strong and faster than we are used to. What usually knocks a guy down doesn't always work on more athletic players.

IMO we've not seen him in enough games to say...if the dude is quick, he gives us the draw option and for all we know he's an ace on short passes...
The up side is that at half time they will talk about this new wrinkle that may never show again all season. But there is only 15 minutes to talk.
