Gameday / Early Games Open Thread
The blog returns. Gameday is in Fargo. All of the noon games are boring. Actually Minnesota takes on San Jose State which features David Fales, a QB with legit NFL prospects. Will be interesting to see Minnesota against it's first non-abysmal competition. Upset watch in Minneapolis

fail. And a kickoff out of bounds. And their first miss in the red zone. On an interception. All against an FCS team. Now, if FAMU could just get a score or two...

Well, FAMU apparently likes to play the kick coverage a little conservatively and just not touch anyone except for the personal foul there. So, Ohio State gets the ball at the 7 and scores again. 13-0 Buckeyes.

They are not a puntasaurus as much as a poorly-tackledactyl.

Is one first down. That's the goal.

Ohio State has only had the ball for about 90 seconds in this game and already has 20 points. They haven't even hit 100 yards of offense yet either, but when you keep taking possession of the ball within earshot of the endzone, it will take a while to get there. FAMU is getting an average of 1 yard per play though, so they are kind of advancing...kind of.

CMU losing to Toledo... Not cool.

loss at the swamp, at mizzu, and beat d2 powerhouse eastern wash. Toledo will win the mac.

I'm not sure if this is going to turn into the drinking thread, but i've been out of the states for 7 months now, and I was wondering if there are any new beers out there that would be worth my while. I see that Rolling Rock put out a red, but i've been doing some reading and from the reviews it sounds absolutely terrible. I'm living in South Carolina, so if anybody is from around there, some regional help would be greatly appreciated as well!

I'm tired of Ohio always having a backup QB who is actually an upgrade from their starter, and ends up Wally Pipping him. This is the third time in a row it's happened (Pryor over whatshisname, Miller over Bauserman, and now Guiton over Miller). Injuries to your QB are not supposed to actually make your team better. They're overdue for a Sheridan or Bellomy.

I will say, FAMU is getting hits on Guitton. Kind of surprised OSU isn't handling the blitz that well.
September 21st, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
The most OSU thing ever - cheering back a guy who was suspended for 3 games for (probably) getting into a fight and hitting a woman.
September 21st, 2013 at 1:03 PM ^
Video's on the net somewhere, there's no probably about it.

Wouldn't that make him not classless? Unless I'm not getting what you're saying here.

They may need to worry about Northwestern.
September 21st, 2013 at 12:46 PM ^
for some reason @Purdue is a regular slip-up game for OSU
September 21st, 2013 at 12:48 PM ^
I wouldn't quite say that. They have to travel to Northwestern and play Wisconsin (who has a good record in Columbus lately). Also, they play Purdue, who seems to rise to the occasion against them for some reason.
September 21st, 2013 at 12:43 PM ^
Logan Thomas is still at VT? Jeez, dude has been there like 8yrs now.
September 21st, 2013 at 12:44 PM ^
The only thing worse than a game announced by Beth Mowins and Joey Galloway is...actually nothing. Nothing is worse than this.

Well, to their credit, FAMU did stuff one run play for no gain. They do have that to take away from this game, if nothing else.
Statistically, the OSU rushing game has been allowed to take the game off so far. Guiton has been able to take advantage of the fact that Rattlers don't have an answer for....well, a lot.
September 21st, 2013 at 12:46 PM ^
Well...no score in this one yet. An epic battle in the works? Or just a very delayed 45-0 final score? I'm beside myself with excitement.
September 21st, 2013 at 12:52 PM ^
I hope Ohio State is saving some points for next week.
September 21st, 2013 at 12:53 PM ^
FAMU just gave back all that momentum and promptly throws a pick that is nearly taken back for a touchdown, but no matter, as the Buckeyes simply make it 34-0 on the very next play and PAT.
Nice kick return by the Rattlers gets about halved by a foul. Ryan Shazier tackles a receiver for no gain and thus ends the first half. The Rattlers get a couple minutes to estimate the halftime score if the present rate holds.
September 21st, 2013 at 12:58 PM ^
Iowa's Martin-Manley returns two punts for TDs in about 5 minutes.
That's five minutes real life time, more 1:30 in game time.

That is a win. Stopped Hall for .5 yard gain.

when minnesota is running the ball down your throats....its time to go back to cali.

Lol at the ump.

Tom Luginbill looks like an idiot.

UNC - Ga Tech game. GT coach Paul Johnson has some rediculous record against teams from north carolina... like 26-1. Also: High powered offense alert: Wake Forest 3, Army 2. Second quarter!!!
