How do you guys think the Northwestern game will go? Looking back they tend to bounce back pretty good from a loss. I am hoping they fix Prince and the receivers.

I'm pretty confident we'll see a similar kind of reaction after the MSU loss last year, an angry team that will make some adjustments. I look for quicker passes and a much more uptempo offense.
45-17

We should beat NW pretty handily but I'll admit my confidence in this team is waning. No way we should have blown the PSU game but the offense is pure junk at this point. The offense should have put up more points than a measly 24 against PSU so that the botched special teams plays would not have mattered.

Ohio State RT Isaiah Prince allowed 14 QB pressures vs Penn State—the highest number we have recorded for an individual single player.

How does a program like ours NOT have someone who they could at least try at RT to see if they could do better than that? I get the injuries...but Cam Johnston could at least get in someone's way

That stat on Prince is just horrendous. Maybe the guy is playing hurt. Otherwise, I'm not sure how that is humanly possible.

Saw that Meyer was talking about how OSU scripts 12 offensive plays to start every game. Through 7 games, they have scored 3 points on those plays. Two things about that. First, it's unacceptable. Second, how was one of the 12 plays at PSU not a fucking hand off to Curtis Samuel?!?!?

The more I hear about the offense, the more pissed I get!

The first few games Samuel was a big part of the offense. Its like they have forgot he can run the ball as well. I am not sure what is going on with the O-coordinators. How do you not look at how well that kid can run and not want to hand him the ball? I try not to be to critical of the coaching but the last few weeks have been atrocious. I hope this loss wakes them up.

I'm not a football coach, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but scripting plays(to me) is completely idiotic.

You have no idea what the defense is going to do. Yes, you can audible out, but still. Just dumb.

Could you imagine how bad this could have been if we had a pro-style (Burrow) QB back there this whole time. It may have looked like the Browns. JT's escape-ability has saved this O-line from looking even worse in the stat books (I understand pressure % is same vs Pro-style or Scrambling...but there'd be a lot more negative plays and sacks)

Thorson gonna be an NFL QB. He's got a good arm and good size.

Yup. Don't understand why they even mess around with the wildcat crap and take him off the field

O-Line looks better. Northwestern with a final drive before the half. See how the D responds.

A pretty "meh" first half. Still don't look like the #6 team

Defense flat out sucks today.

Offense was nice for 2 drives, early. That's it.
