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'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 7 Share Posted 15 hours ago 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." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marsh No. 11 Share Posted 15 hours ago 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.

AnotherOD No. 17 Share Posted 14 hours ago 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryProf No. 20 Share Posted 14 hours ago Does anyone know if this game is playing anywhere else but on Fox?

OregonDucks No. 36 Share Posted 13 hours ago Ohio State is an arrogant bunch - their coaches and players believe that they can line up and beat anybody with their talent.

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 38 Share Posted 13 hours ago 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.

OregonDucks No. 46 Share Posted 13 hours ago 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 47 Share Posted 13 hours ago 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirklandduck Moderator No. 48 Share Posted 13 hours ago 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 49 Share Posted 13 hours ago 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.
