Second-half thread for the B1G Championship Game

Thanks for the 15 yards, Ohio State!

They're starting to crack.

Again!

 

[Deeringfish]

Trick plays only work if things are perfect. Too many trick plays.

 

[NUCat320]

0 for 2 on the Lees reverse pass

 

[IAWildcat79]

Result notwithstanding, I dont love the play call there to Lees.

3rd and long...stay in FG range at a minimum!

 

[Deeringfish]

And then we hurt ourselves. STOP these reverses!

yeah we are not fast enough in this game.

 

[xxxbobxxx]

Can we drop the wildcat formation please.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

And then we hurt ourselves. STOP these reverses!

Almost out of FG range. Get at least 10 back and get some points!

 

[ThirdCoast_rivals291969]

Ughhhhh

 

[NUCat320]

Darn.

 

[BFDCat]

STOP THE ******* TRICK PLAY ********!!!!!

 

[pawildcat_rivals209725]

Yes, can we please stop whatever that thing with Lees is? It's killed us on two drives now.

 

[Deeringfish]

Except we didn't. Run up the middle would have been better.
Trick plays are the result of two things 1)you are clearly superior in the situation or 2) you are desperate.

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

I think we all came into this game thinking we might need a trick play today. But the evidence is clear that we don’t, and in fact they’ve hurt us. Adjust!

 

[Figrating]

Lees still doesn't know how to throw a blown up reverse away - 0 for 2.

Besides the reverses, we also need to lose the wildcat formation this game - it's not working.

 

[Deeringfish]

Need a pick 6

 

[ThirdCoast_rivals291969]

Come on run defense

 

[Fanaticat98]

I’m afraid we’re out scheming ourselves on O. We were beating them straight up but now we’ve killled drives with then wildcat and the reverses.

 

[FightingMethodists]

We have a hard nosed running back who should be relatively fresh...use him.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

What can we do about those runs?

 

[BFDCat]

I fear this may be the turning point. Can the defense force a FG one more time?

 

[corbi2961]

OSU has figured out one of our weaknesses is a lack of depth on the DL and is trying to take advantage by wearing us down. Now Saunders is hurt. Ouch.

 

[Deeringfish]

We have a hard nosed running back who should be relatively fresh...use him.

If you are talking about Bowser, you haven't been paying attention this year. He has lost a step or hurt his shoulder which ruins his running style. Good pass blocker but that telegraphs the play.

 

[Deeringfish]

Still with in three.

 

[stpaulcat]

How do we stop Surman? Better yet, how do we score?

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

How do we stop Surman? Better yet, how do we score?

We trade touchdowns and score last.

 

[corbi2961]

That was a hold on Paddy Fisher on that TD run. BS no call.

 

[LansingCat_rivals315357]

Respond!

 

[BFDCat]

The answer is no, need points here or this could get away from us.

 

[bjm989_rivals]

How do we stop Surman? Better yet, how do we score?

Keep the tempo but avoid the wildcat and reverse. Or at least throw away the reverse when not there...

 

[DaCat]

We need to score now.

 

[TerraCat]

Time for Mike and Hank to make adjustments and go and get this thing! Let's go Cats!!!

 

[IAWildcat79]

They are really just dominating us up front. If our front 4 cant keep their big guys off our LBs we are going to continue chasing Sermon down the field for the entire 4th quarter.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Or at least throw away the reverse when not there...

Well, Lees did exactly that the first time...

 

[NUinIowafan]

We need to refocus. !!

 

[Fanaticat98]

I think that’s about it. We needed to convert TDs to have a chance in the 4th quarter. I’m not sure I see a way out of this if they’re able to run straight over us. Our game depends on creating and capitalizing on turnovers and they’re not going to need to pass it.

 

[Deeringfish]

Ramseys trying too hard.

Let's see if we can score on this drive, Mr. Grumpypants!

 

[bjm989_rivals]

That’s the run stop we need to see!

 

[BFDCat]

Well, that is unfortunate.

Nope, I’ve paid attention...talking about Porter
