We need a big play now or this game might get out if hand real soon. We can't stop their offense.

Welcome to the B1G!

When the OSU alumni color commentator doing the game thinks the spot is questionable, then you really KNOW something isn't right.

Regardless, that's water under the bridge now. RU offense needs a productive drive.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Great job by ESPN to show the BS screwjob call.

 

[Blitz8RU]

grant is not gonna return one. their kicker boots it past the FG post line...

 

[brgossRU90]

Ok laviano does this too much

 

[RUeric]

Every freaking game Laviano drops a snap

 

[Blitz8RU]

great more miscues

 

[BillyC80]

False start and fumbled exchange to start this drive. Wtf?

 

[drewbagel423]

Aaaaand fumble. Really putting us in manageable 3rd downs.

 

[Wutevah]

Welcome to the B1G!

Honestly, I"m still shocked that they called the Megatron rule against the Michigan receiver last year ... this is more what I was expecting.

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

This is the WTF drive. May as well punt on 3rd down, it ain't happening this drive.

 

[cRURah]

I'm ready for
Rettig

 

[Blitz8RU]

we keep shooting ourselves in the foot against an OSU team where we have trouble tackling... not good.

 

[redking]

False start AT HOME, then a fumbled snap. Looking like the Cinderella dust has worn off after OSU put some points on the board.

 

[Masajoje]

Crowd seems surprisingly tame. I was hoping for an atmosphere like ttfp game last year.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

That is not how you want to end the 1st quarter

 

[devoted2ru]

Well, not exactly the result of the first 2 plays of that series you want...a motion penalty and a muffed snap. -But at least we didn't lose the ball and it's still only 2nd down. (Hey, 'ya gotta look for something positive.)

 

[cRURah]

The team needs to Keep it close and keep the crowd in the game

 

[rucoe89]

Ugh. Ohio State is about to release the hounds and chase us to the woodshed.

 

[drewbagel423]

Crowd seems surprisingly tame. I was hoping for an atmosphere like ttfp game last year.

Probably because nobody in the stands expects us to have a chance tonight. And so far, they look to be right.

 

[brgossRU90]

I'm sorry but it's impossible not to see poor discipline aka insufficient coaching in a lot of these mistackles, dropped snaps, etc

The crowd knew we had a chance last year

Ayup, there was huge difference between PSU last year and Ohio State with JT Barrett.

 

[rucoe89]

Ohio State is just pinning their ears back on defense.

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Gutless play calling.

 

[brgossRU90]

Am I shocked to see offensive play calling that hardly looks adventurous?

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

What do we do about Bosa? He seems to be using the Star Trek transporter to get through our guys.

 

[Blitz8RU]

good open field tackle on that punt return. need to see more of that kind off tackling

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

I think OSU has already adjusted to our offense... Sigh...

Nice cover defense at least

 

[RUSK97]

Good tackle by Cioffi on ST.

 

[RUaMoose_rivals]

This is gonna get ugly.

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

That play would have worked except Bosa transported himself through our lineman.

 

[BillyC80]

Thankfully we got off a great punt and nice tackle

 

[Ru-baby]

We i dont thk have even thrown downfield in 3 rd and 15 or more. Screen or draw city appears all we have in that scenario

 

[rucoe89]

Need a stop here else this game is over. This Ohio State team is good.

 

[cRURah]

Fredrico set the tone for a letdown when he missed that chippie.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Bosa is just too good.

 

[Blitz8RU]

Gutless play calling.

not really. What would you call on 3rd and 27? other than a screen or a draw? remember they can get to the QB while rushing only 4 because our OL aren't athletic enough to matchup.

 

[brgossRU90]

Our coach will only open up the playbook to take a chance when the game is well out of hand. It's how he rolls.
