WEEK 4 -- TULANE GREEN WAVE @ OHIO STATE BUCKEYES !!!

[OHHS old timer]

That YouTube video..."the punter who became a quarterback" is a good example of how well Tupa could've played as a starting qb in nfl

[farmer]

well, I'd love to have him in buckeye land with the right supervision. I know urban loved him like a son. how many times have we seen this Heisman winning qb's and Heisman type caliber qb's that flat lit it up in college. that were multi faceted set records out the ying yang, and had sterling careers as college qb's. yet their skillset won't let them stick in the pros. sad really, under the right coaching I think barrett would make an awesome qb. we've seen this with so many qb's through the years. now if a running back wins it. he'll be a star in the nfl. but the jury is always out on a Heisman winning qb. and Mayfield is undersized as well as a winner. but has excellent escapability. so I hope he pans out for you browns fans. he's ate a few humble pies, and seems to genuinely be on the right path. so hopefully he doesn't turnout to be another johnny football.

Who was the last QB from OSU that even made an impact at all in the pro's ? Tom Tupa lasted the longest but he played backup for a few years and his main job in the pros was as a punter. Probably Mike Tomczak with the Bears and Schlichter before all the troubles who I still think is the best at OSU all-time, throw out these darn records. Rex Kern was a Db for a couple years in pro ball, Germaine got a small sniff with the Rams and Hoying went to the Eagles one year but Krenzel, Smith, Pryor (Who I always thought should have been a receiver anyway) and Barrett were never going to be pro style QB's. Just my thoughts.

Troy Smith was going to be the starter for the Ravens but got sick with Lemierre's syndrome. In came Joe Flacco. Troy never was the same.

Wow wish I would've napped after halftime.

State 49 Tulane 6.

Big margin of victory that could have been much worse. Haskins had Heisman-esque numbers, but hey, it was against Tulane.

Yet with TCU in danger of losing to Texas at this moment, no one really knows how good OSU is. State's back seven on defense still did not look solid and penalties continue to plague the Buckeyes. Throw in the running game taking a back seat to Haskins and Weber banged up, the Penn State game looks to be a big challenge for OSU.

TCU is going down.....

#13 Virginia Tech lost to Old Dominion, that has nothing to do with OSU but man that’s crazy....

[cbolt]

Well TCU got beat soundly by the Horns so they don't look so great now. With the BIG having a lackluster year so far Bucks might have to go undefeated to make the playoffs. . Thank Goodness Purdue beat BC today

You might even have two P5 conference left out of the CFP. Notre Dame is the wild card.

I copied this from the topic I started about the penn state/ohio state game. without reading anybody else's comments I'm curious about how others feel about the game. I just didn't feel like retyping something similar here. sorry about the caps, honestly sometimes I do that and don't realize it when I'm typing, then I post it without looking. but I type with my left pointin finger and hit the caps button sometimes typing, anyhoo here is what I thought from yesterday. great win for the bucks.


WHAT SAY YOU ALL AS THIS TITANIC BATTLE AT HAPPY VALLEY GETS READY TO TAKE OFF. THE NITTANY LIONS ROLLED OVER THE FIGHTING ILLINI AFTER COMING FROM BEHIND. AND OHIO STATE PUT 42 ON TULANE BEFORE THEY COULD GET ALL THE BUCKLES SNAPPED ON THEIR HELMET. AND THEN STARTED MAKING WHOLESALE CHANGES AT THE HALF AND PLAYED EVERYBODY BUT THE CHEERLEADERS, AND RIGHT AT THE END SCORED 7 MORE TO MAKE IT 49-6. I THINK THEY TOOK THE FOOT OFF THE GAS TOO QUICKLY IN SOME RESPECTS. BUT GOT VALUABLE PLAYING TIME FOR BACKUPS, AND WERE SMART ABOUT INJURIES WITH A ''WHITEOUT'' COMING UP AT PENN STATE. I THOUGHT THEY HAD TATE MARTELL TRY TO DO TOO MUCH RUNNING WISE. AND THANKFULLY DEFENSIVE LINE IS OUR STRONGEST, DEEPEST PART OF OUR TEAM WITH BOSA OUT. HATED SEEING THEM SIDEWAYS PASSES STARTING BACK UP. BUT HOW DO YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT A 49-6 WIN OVER A D1 OPPONENT. BUT THE RIGHT SPORTS BROADCASTER GETS AHOLD OF IT AND SAYS SOMETHING LIKE. ''AFTER COMING OUT LIKE WORLD BEATERS OHIO STATE SCORES 42 IN THE 1ST HALF ON TULANE, AND THEN TULANE GOT THINGS CORRECTED DEFENSIVELY AND WERE ABLE TO ONLY HOLD THE POWERFUL BUCKEYE TEAM TO ONLY 1 TD IN THE 2ND HALF'' THEN YOU GET ALL THE STYLE POINT PEOPLE SAYING DROP THE BUCKS DOWN. AND GEORGIA AND CLEMSON BOTH STRUGGLED TO WIN. WHAT SAY YA'LL.
