Posted November 23, 2024Nov 23 Administrator Let's discuss just THIS game in this thread, and leave the others for another thread. Discuss before, during and a little after! I cannot believe how many predicted Indiana in the Prediction Thread pinned at the top! Mr. FishDuck
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator “This is just a football game,” Cignetti told College GameDay’s Jessica Sims. “60 minutes between the white lines. We’ve got a veteran group, right? We earned the right to be here. There’s no magic wand. We’ve got the largest victory margin, in college football, right? There’s a narrative out there that’s created another chip for us. “People can stick that narrative up their you know what.” Edited November 23, 2024Nov 23 by 30Duck

Sticks that narrative right up the old Buckeye. I'm looking forward to watching this game. I may have predicted a Bucknut win in our contest, but I'm rooting for the Hoisiers to channel OBDs September 2021 performance in the 'Shoe'.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator GameDay’s crew went 3-3 tie tOSU/IU. Herbstreet and Fields are Bucknut homers. Not surprisingly Howard went for IU, but so did McAfee and Corso!
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator FOX Guys are all tOSU: Meyer, 32-26, Ingram, 34-27, Leinart, 35-24, Quinn, 44-20.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Inadvertently posted this on the wrong thread earlier today. "Watching the GameDay preview of the tOSU v IU match-up leaning pretty heavy Bucknut advantage. Nice profile of Caleb Downs with loads of big play tape. Lots of TFLs, PBUs and a pick or two on every opponent except..... Oregon. The one clip shows him making a downfield tackle on James after what must've been a big gain. Downs will end up a 1st round pick and is immensely talented but it's gratifying to see that the Ducks more or less kept him from having a big day at Autzen. The GameDay crew had to reach to find a standout play from that October meeting."
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Indiana receiver had separation, ball overthrown, but convert 3rd down on the next play.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Buckeyes not getting any rush on Rourke so far, just picking them apart.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Ohio State's defensive line is getting no pressure on the QB. And where were the flags and the refs paying attention to stuff when we played Ohio State???? Also. No clue who I'm rotting for in this game. If I don't have a direct Oregon stake in the game I go for the underdog but I do have a stake here and I'm not sure which team I want to playing the CCG.

November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Howard makes a bad throw while falling down, gets flagged for intentional grounding.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Wild. tOSU had momentum and a buzz and the crowd in the game and then FOX put them through a commercial fest and it just sort of died and they get stopped at the 1.5 yard line. Even the Indy coach mentioned it when the sideline reporter caught him. Crazy. What is happening in the game right now? More commercials.

November 23, 2024Nov 23 Does anyone know if this game is playing anywhere else but on Fox? For the last hour, Fox has been showing a high school basketball game instead of the Ohio State Indiana game that shows up on the TV guide, with no indication as to where else the game might be being played.

November 23, 2024Nov 23 If you keep giving teams short fields to work, it will sooner or later bite you in the backside.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Ohio State defense, yards allowed: 177 - Akron 99 - W. Michigan 264 - Marshall 246 - Michigan St 226 - Iowa 496 - Oregon 273 - Nebraska 270 - Penn St 206 - Purdue 251 - Northwestern 53 - half-time today, 453/game offense average for Indiana in 2024, OSU defense avg 251/game in 10 games
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Indiana punter bobbled the snap, Ohio Stae recoverd on around the 10. First two plays they kept tOSU out of the end zone, next play, Buckeyes run it in. 14-7.

November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Indiana fumbles, Buckeye has the ball in his hands, but can't bring it in, Indiana recovers.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Indiana recovers, then gets a penalty, then punts, Ohio State returns it for a TD, 21-7, Ohio State. Can you say Ohio State has the momentum?
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Ohio State is an arrogant bunch - their coaches and players believe that they can line up and beat anybody with their talent. Indiana came to play today, is well coached and is in the game. The muffed punt is unfortunate.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Rven though OHio State has momentum they still look vulnerable. They just have an athlete advantage and it's starting to show.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Oof, two special teams screw-ups by IU gives tOSU two touchdowns. And blitzing has put IU's qb on his butt three times and hurried several throws. Barring a heckuva comeback by Indiana, OBD gets a Bucknut rematch in Indy.

Oregon needs to get healthy, get their rhythm back on offense (getting players back might solve this) and play up to their standard. It should be a fun ride the rest of the way!
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Indiana's opponents entering this morning: 3-7 - Florida International 3-8 - W. Illinois 4-6 - UCLA 3-7 - Charlotte 4-6 - Maryland 4-6 - Northwestern 5-5 - Nebraska 6-5 - fuskies - only prior opponent above .500 5-6 - Michigan St 5-5 - Michigan 9-1 - Ohio St 1-10 - Purdue
November 23, 2024Nov 23 The way Joel Klatt has been talking about Ohio State all game long, someone should hand him a tissue... And I don't mean for tears.

November 23, 2024Nov 23 Welp. It looks like Ohio State is taking control of the game now. Still not overly concerned with the Buckeyes, as Indiana has not played one ranked team this season.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Hoosiers getting zero pressure on Howard and the Bucknut WRs are too much for the IU DBs when he has that much time. Announcers are yapping about how much better the tOSU secondary is since the Oregon loss, but the real difference is QB pressure on blitzes that they didn't run against the Ducks. DL and WS will need to adapt to this but there's plenty of film now.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Moderator Indiana is getting exposed. They’ve feasted on a very weak schedule all season long and it shows. They came motivated to play but this team just isn’t built to compete right now against bigger, deeper, and more talented rosters. Ohio St looks visibly weaker on offense than I remember. That doesn’t bode well for them if they finish this out and get to the conference championship game.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Canzano pre-game, yesterday: Asked Bill Rabinowitz of Columbus Dispatch if Ohio State is focused on getting another shot at the Oregon Ducks and is motivated by that idea. "Yes, yes, yes, yes -- they do... no question."
