11/3 NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS @ OHIO STATE BUCKEYES.

[The General]

This place has NEVER and will NEVER hurt for talent. NEVER....On name recognition alone.....Sometimes it appears that meyer "ONLY" wants to get the kids who he can admire getting off the Team Bus..He is NOT an Xand O guy. Never was..He is a mirage. A perception behind a name.....It is a GOOD thing he landed with them in THAT league...It is obvious though that he has got his hands back into play selection. I have always said he has 4 Goals:1) Get that 1st First Down
2) Then play at warp speed
3)Start the FRONTRUN on all the Chaff they play by the biggest Frontrunner I have EVER seen
4)StatPad his QB in any way that suits them best to get whoever that is in the Heisman talk

Because of this they have lost any of the Identity that they were accustomed to having.In REALITY they play 3 teams the next 3 weeks who are average to way below.Nebraska is terrible on Defense. Do NOT have the personnel yet. Not very good up front on O either. Some talented Skill kids,especially young Martinez.Spart is horriffic on Offense. Just TERRIBLE. Barely averaging 3YPA running the ball,and their throw game has been VERY Dissappointing(ALBEIT Beat up)...Stop the run right at them pretty well..Maybe getting better in the backend after giving up 1000yds in the air the 1st 3 games. Mary cant throw it and have to be having a civil war...BUT....If ohio wins these next 3 games they will be back in the national narrative...Just like EVERY year no matter what they do. There were HOMERS actually upset that they werent selected last year

[dazed&confused]

Wow what a horrible defensive show after two weeks of rest and time to work on it. Awful.

[smurray]

Good thing I’m not watching.

[Omega]

Hate to say it, 2018 Ohio State is Florida 2010. The problem is not X's and O's or athleticism. It is one of character, both players and coaches. State could well rally as it is early against Nebraska, but the Bucks simply play with no heart

[Chieftain2009]

The receivers and kick/punt return hasn't been real great. Just sloppy and a lack of conviction in focus and running.

[Chieftain2009]

And Fuller out for the game with targeting

[dazed&confused]

Like watching a slow motion train wreck. The problem is this team is regressing instead of improving. Season on the cusp. If you watch Meyer on the sideline he clearly is at a loss as to what's happening on the field.

[dazed&confused]

When was the last time OSU was booed off the field at halftime?

[Omega]

21-16 Children of the Corn at half. The regression in play continues compounded with what looks like lack of effort by the Bucks. The direction of the rest of the season to be determined in the second half.

[smurray]

And another turnover getting ready to take the lead back.
Buckeyes are in trouble and could very well lose out if they don’t do something quick.

[Tjhtygeverve]

Just horrendous! Embarrassed to go to work amongst the SEC/ACC FANS I WORK WITH. Great friends tho! Have worked w/them for 20+ years. Anything I’ve ever needed, no need to ever ask. Amazing peeps!

[smurray]

What was that run by Haskins? He slides with no one within 5 yards of him.
He is absolutely no threat to run the ball.

[smurray]

Hopefully not going for 2 to go up 3 doesn’t come back to bite us...

[smurray]

That offensive series with three straight incomplete passes and no time off the clock was a train wreck. Run the ball and eat clock with a 9 point lead!!!!!!!

[smurray]

Defense held, now time for the offense to eat some clock with 12:25 to play. Score again to put it out of reach....

[smurray]

Another fumble on first down. Gain of two on 2nd. Third and 10 running offense quickly. Incomplete pass on third down. NO TIME OFF THE CLOCK, 1 freaking minute.....

[smurray]

11:06 Nebraska ball at their 34.
Big pass play to the Buckeye 20, defender was lost......

[smurray]

Offside Buckeyes (3rd of the day). First and 5 at 15. 2nd and 6. Run to the 8.
First and goal at the 8.
QB run to the 4, 2nd and goa 8:45 and running.
Incomplete pass on 2nd down.
Run to the 1 8:15 and running.
4th and goal at the one.
FG good 30-24 7:46 to play

BUCKEYES UNABLE TO PUT IT AWAY.

[smurray]

Two spots for Nebraska not even reviewed.
Now that it’s OSU they review it.

[smurray]

5:07 to play first down at the Nebraska 42.
Bobbins TD run.... go for 2 for 14 pt lead.
