Yep, I'm not much of a concpiracy theory guy, but damn the Big 10 seemed to be under the micropscope.LJ wrote:Did you watch the Capital 1 Bowl? They reviewed damn near everything.ytownfootball wrote: Here's a Rose Bowl thought:

Most things were LSU plays. Although, I can't believe they didn't catch the god damned 2nd fucking time the LSU tackle went with a ball swat before the center snapped the ball. That's dirty shit. I can remember our Nose Tackle getting CHEWED out by our HC in high school for doing it once in practice.ytownfootball wrote:Yep, I'm not much of a concpiracy theory guy, but damn the Big 10 seemed to be under the micropscope.LJ wrote:Did you watch the Capital 1 Bowl?

Not only did they not catch it they penalized Penn State for procedure...I'm like WTF?LJ wrote:Most things were LSU plays.

It's legal after the ball has been snapped, but their tackle was doing it before the ball was snapped. Not only is it dirty, but it's against the rules.darbypitcher22 wrote: its dirty shit but it has caused a turnover before on more than one occasion.
Not saying its right but its not the first time I've ever seen it
Ohio State beat 5 teams with 10 or more wins.darbypitcher22 wrote: Why does everybody think that schedule is joke?
Its a lot better than teams in the Pac 10/SEC will play

With the play calling being opened up to what most people wanted the entire season and now having some proof that you can beat very good teams with the athletes OSU has, what will happen in the future?
Back to the Tressel of old? Or will he realize that conservative doesn't necessarily mean the best way?
"Tressel forcing TP as a pocket passer". LOLOLOLCaptain Cavalier wrote: I too think Pryor has matured but he's not quite there yet. He still hesitates to commit to running. When the coverage is there or the blitz is coming, run and run now. Why does Tressel still seem to be forcing TP as a pocket passer when he seemed to do more damage by rolling out. Was he recruited because he was a great pocket passer in high school? Redzone results need to be changed to TDs if they want to compete with the likes of Alabama & Florida. The defense won that game more than Pryor and the offense. The Buck's special teams performance was unacceptable. Add to that Pryor's "Hail Mary" throw that was remarkably caught and Oregon's fumble out of the end zone and that could've been a very different game.
Why don't you agree with #3. I think it was pretty obvious throughout the season that Saine was the far better back. He had less carries and a lot more yards throughout the season. Besides he is a much better receiving back as well. I do think Herron is decent, but I have never understood why he gets as many carries as he does.Scarlet_Buckeye wrote:Do not agree with #3 at all.Cleveland Buck wrote: 1. Pryor played the best game of his career. He threw some balls late and threw some ducks, he's not there yet, but I was pleased.
2. The defense played very well. Not great, there was some sloppy tackling and the line stop getting any push up front for the middle part of the game, but to hold Oregon to 17 points and 260 yards is impressive.
3. I couldn't understand why Herron got so many carries. He was awful. Saine wasn't much better, but how many times do you need to see Herron run right into Boren's rear end to know that you ought to try someone else in there?
4. Loved the defensive playcalling. Liked the offensive playcalling for the most part.
5. The special teams outside of the field goal unit were horrible. They couldn't return a kick or cover one. Barclay was pitiful on kickoffs. Low line drives to the ten or fifteen yard line will always be easy to return. With a typical Tressel special teams unit, Oregon might not get to ten points.
6. Five BCS Bowl wins. Only USC has more. Florida can (probably will) match them tonight. Can't complain about that.
Completely agree with #5.
When your O-line outweighs the D-line by 30 pounds on avg. I think it is safe to run up the gut. Plus we were getting 3-5 yds a carry, so I saw no problem with that call.believer wrote: 2. I love Tressel but he still makes calls that make me scratch my head. For example, why run the ball up the gut when it's 1st and 5?
I agree with Ingram being the favorite, but Harris over Pryor? Please. HArris threw how many INT's this season? 17 in the regular season! He's not nearly as good as Pryor.Elliot Stabler wrote:Hesston wrote: next years Heisman favorite?
Ummm......NO
Ingram is the preseason favorite
The rest of my preseason Top 5 are:
2.Dion Lewis
3.Jeremiah Masoli
4.Jacory Harris
5.Ryan Williams
Keep an eye out for Johnny Brantley from UF
Well if Masoli plays Pac 10 defenses all year long his stats will look much better. We are seeing that the Big 10 and the defenses of the Big 10 are really not as bad as the country would like us to think.devil1197 wrote: Yeah Masoli over Pryor.
The guy went what 9/20 for 81 yards and 1 INT.

It makes ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKING DIFFERENCE "what most people want". Thoughts of Ohio State whiner know nothing fans are immaterial.
The ONLY reason Pryor was throwing as much as he did is because that's what Oregon wanted Pryor to do. They put nine in the box and made no adjustments. If they had taken a couple of players out of the box you would have seen fewer passes and more power football.
Those of the ilk who want Ohio State to throw the ball regardless of the defense being played are laughable.
