This game getting boring now. It could be 50-0 by halftime. Let me turn and watch Michigan get beat.

Good point. I was just expressing how I felt about it. I guess that's why I'm on the computer while Tressel is on the sidelines lol.

Oh good, one drive doesn't lead to points, and the"fuck you, tressel" guy from last week is already whining.

What about the fans? There are 100,000+ people in that stadium that paid good money to come in to that stadium and they don't want to watch Joe Bauserman and the 5th string running back, they came to watch Terrelle Pryor, Brandon Saine, and Devier Posey. And come on, going up against OU's first string isn't exactly saying much, these guys go up against much better competition in the spring game.

Also, while OSU has never lost a game like this, they have found themselves in dogfights in these kind of games before. Remember what happened last time OSU played OU? It was like 14-12 OU in the 4th quarter. On that swing pass that Bauserman threw that was a fumble, that was in prime position to be picked up and returned by OU. If OU returns that for a TD, its a 17-7 game and changes the momentum. Bottom line, its not a good strategy.

Any coach that gives two shits about the fans when making decisions like that should be fired on the spot.

Especially since the next play is Pryor's first INT of the year, which was a horrid pass/decision by him.

haha okk whatever. Yeah who cares about the people who make up the backbone of your job? I guarantee you would have heard some of the loudest boos you've ever heard in your life if that fumble on that swing pass by Bauserman had been recovered by OU. That decision just wasn't smart football strategy.

The fans knew what they were getting into when they bought tickets to an OSU vs. OU game.

The fans? Seriously, that's your argument? Any fans going to an osu/Mac game are expecting a blowout. They've seen 34 points put up, I'd say they've gotten their moneys worth. As for the last osu/ou game that had to do more with a lethargic osu team, than substitution patterns, I don't think the second team played a first half series that day. Bottom line- 1st half game action in a 17-0 game is more intense and prepares the youngsters more than 4th quarter garbage time....

OSU players really put the screws to Tress's gameplan by scoring all those tds.

When I watch OSU games I want to see fieldgoals!

Add me to the group who was confused as to why Bauserman and the other backup skill guys were out there so early. This is the one thing that Tressel does that always aggravates me. Build 24+ point cushion and then put the backups in (and don't take them out). Like trep said, if Bauserman's swing pass would have been a lateral that OU returns for a TD we're looking at a 17-7 ball game with OU getting some momentum

Blocked punt... They just bore down on the punter. However, Ohio State turns it right around with a forced fumble and recovery.

Nice... on the forced fumble and recovery...

But something needs to be done about special teams NOW!

Special Teams could easily cost OSU a game or two if this continues.

Interception by Pryor after forcing a long throw. Second errant pass that's been intercepted. Then, safety on the ensuing play, which is pretty good by the defense.

I'm not upset at being up 36-0, it's just our special teams needs A LOT of work, and Pryor is getting frustrated, which has led to his two interceptions. For this game, it doesn't mean much, but in the future, it frightens me because those mistakes can cost us a major game such as Wisconsin or Iowa on the road.

I agree with this.

I don't worry about the Pryor interceptions, if the game is close, he don't attempt those passes.
