Is it just me or do they seem smaller this year? Oregon moving the ball on them with swing passes and runs up the middle.

tOSU bailed out by that holding call.

Not only that but so much for "points of emphasis" in officiating concerning taunting and protecting the QB. OSU should have been flagged for at least two 15 yarders in the first half.

It's absurd how open Ohio State's receivers were on that last drive. Every pass play, multiple guys open against a very good Oregon defense. How I long for Nebraska to ever have spacing like that.

Ohio State got lucky that two key defensive players for Oregon weren’t able to play but still not looking that good so far.

OSU doesn't have a good defensive coordinator and they have gotten softer on offense under Ryan Day compared to what they were like under Urban Meyer.

I'm kinda glad Oregon is taking it to Ohio State. Ohio State has gotten a tad arrogant the last couple of years.

Ohio St. has always been small. Even with our crappy OL, we've been able to run against OSU at times.

Officials basically waiting for Ohio State to line up before placing the ball and starting the game clock. Never happens for us.
