Afternoon/Evening game thread

Iowa with a whopping 166 total yards and a 7-3 victory over South Dakota State. I know Kinnick and all but damn we better beat that team. As long as Kirk keeps his son through our game I’m good. 

Well, through a half anyway, I’m not sure it could have gone better if you’re a MI fan

I assumed OSU would be up four touchdowns at this point in the game.  So I’m an idiot, apparently.  But one thing I do know, OSU could continue to underwhelm, win by a point and the media will still slobber all over them.  Pick your poison.  

I was looking at this game as a pure meteor event, but I actually find myself wanting ND to get it done.  Bursting OSU's bubble in week 1 would be pretty funny.   

Yeah, ND would get a lot of hype with a win, but I'm confident they'll take their lumps later.

Does Ryan day start the 2nd half with 3 straight runs? 

I have a friend thats at the game. He just texted, The horseshoe is a very toxic place right now. 

Bryce Young has thrown for five touchdowns… in the first half. That’s a wow

ND has 29 yards more passing and a couple more yards rushing.

Herbstreit is right about OSU's receivers.  Dumbest thing I heard on the preseason was that there was going to be no dropoff.  Experience counts.  I think it shows up in statistical analysis, no?  Anyway, those guys could end up being better than the two mid first rounders, but it will take a while if it happens at all.  

I popped in on Eleven Warriors. Things are nice and crispy. I imagine there will be a full meltdown if they ultimately lose.  It's nice to see.

Ryan Day reminds me of Bernie Madoff. A huge fraud.

Despite the hype train so far OSU is an offensive juggernot. 

How long till the pitch forks and torches start coming out with Ohio St fans?

Couldn’t have more hate for both of these teams but man is this perfect!  Great game and fun to watch.  Pulling about 65% for ND.  Would be a lot of fun to see OSU lose their first game of the season and also have 2 straight regular season losses. Damn!

OSU’s offense is simple and relies on talent and speed is mostly finesse. If the D keeps it simple, mixes in zone, keeps everything in front of them and hits them in the mouth every play it can be stopped. Ryan Day teams do not like to be hit.
 

I have never seen an O-lineman on his butt as much as #55 for OSU

ND defense forces a 3 and out to start the 2nd half. They’ve played great so far. 

Stroud has the yips.  He's a different guy under pressure.

Fuck Ohio.

CJ Stroud, and the mighty Ohio St offense, with 99 yards passing so far.

poor Buckeyes, they seem cold or under the weather

I find Zach Harrison personal fouls to be remarkably gratifying 

Amazing what happens to their offense without Olave, Wilson and JSN catching every fucking thing. Henderson was ranked a top 10 player in the country right? He seems to have been bottled up.

Three and out to start the second half. OSU's receivers look fairly well covered and Stroud doesn't look like he's getting a lot of pressure.

This game has 2015 MSU written all over it, OSU just out of sort and cant get it going. 

3 & out and OSU right on schedule Ryan Day. LOL.

That shouldn't really be a flag, but I'll take it.

That's targeting on OSU.

Osu committing personal  fouls like a desperate sparty team.  Amazing

If Day is an offensive genius I’m a rocket scientist. 

LOL OSU

I'm sure I'm in the minority,  but could the bands just STFU for a few plays? 

Shocked no targeting review? Crown of the helmet straight into his face

That was unnecessary roughness? The guy was running around. Why don't we get calls like that in Columbus. That QB is going to be wrecked if he keeps up like this.
