This is the longest 1st half of football that I can remember. This OSU game feels like it will never end.

THere was a lot of talk out of cbus about this offensive line being massively improved, but I don't know about that so far. ohio D also still having problems playing in space and wrapping people up.
Still a damn good team, but man.... not a polished product by any means. Certainly a couple vulnerable spots if we can put it together.

Is Mack really that good? I mean is he that good that he makes OSU's line look like Michigan State's?
August 31st, 2013 at 1:50 PM ^
Phil Steele named him a third-team Preseason All-American.
August 31st, 2013 at 1:53 PM ^
IDK he looks like Clowney is supposed to look out there.

The Munchie Legaux showcase should make the second half interesting if the Cincinnati running game keeps gaining steam. The Bearcats have outgained the Boilermakers with 175 yards to their 88 yards, but 137 of those 175 yards belong to Legaux.

You can now keep a guy on the field by burning a timeout. Otherwise, it's the same as last year. You're out unless an opponent intentionally removes it (or something like that).

Rice has some big boys and nise skill guys, their QB is good.

So, Purdue's defense probably needed to be off the field, and so they find a way to achieve that - terrible pass coverage and - a few plays later - giving Cincinnati a nice crease through which they could punch the ball into the end zone. 21-7 Cincinnati, and Purdue's defense is now off the field for now.

WVU down 10 to William & Mary in the 3rd Q
EDIT: Just cut it to 7. But still.

What's Yeldon and company going to do to A&M's rush defense?

for Hope constantly talking shit while he was HC there.
August 31st, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
ohio can't defend those quick sideline throws at all today. Buffalo should just keep throwing them
August 31st, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
Well, the Rob Henry Experiment is going splindedly here....Adrian Witty intercepts a nice, inoffensive pass from Henry on what looked like an in route and returns it for a TD. 28-7 Cincinnati after the kick.
August 31st, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
BIG TENNN!
August 31st, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
Yeah Ohio looks ready to compete with Bama.

August 31st, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
I think not.

Touchdown Buffalo
August 31st, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
Buffalo
August 31st, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
Reeves is really bad... Their defense in general looks really bad
August 31st, 2013 at 2:16 PM ^
You can't stop the Bulls. Contain them. Maybe.
August 31st, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
Being the first game of the year, its hard to tell if Buffalo is game or if OSU has more questions than we thought. I know OSU is missing a few players and have a few injuries this game, but yikes I know the Bucknuts can feel good about Buffalo driving the ball of them.
And in regards to Mack, he definitely looks the part of a future NFLer but I'm not impressed with OSU's line either. They have not dominated the line of scrimmage and allowed more pressure than I would expect.
TD Buffalo - this is at the very best a luke warm debut of the #2 team in America. They'll still win this game, but I can't see them feeling very good about it.
August 31st, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^
On a 20-7 run since going down big early. Hard to spin that too positively.

Backup refs at the Cinci Purdue game. Purdue intercepts and the Cinci guy gets 1 hand in and gets credit for a touchdown. Under review
August 31st, 2013 at 2:24 PM ^
Review got it right. My reference to backup refs is tho the Seattle Green Bay game a year ago. Purdue gets the ball at the 20.
August 31st, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
Buffalo is a juggernaut. It explains why Urbz kept going for two. He was getting ready for the hellfire that is Buffalo.
August 31st, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
August 31st, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
So this is the Ohio team that everyone is supposed to fear?
August 31st, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
Oh, wow. Another Purdue turnover gives the Bearcats the ball in Purdue territory. Imagine that, and it was going so well up until this point for Purdue.
Cincinnati now has 1st and goal inside the Purdue 9 yard line...until the delay of game call there.
August 31st, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
In Purdue game... I wish they would fix this rule. If a defender has two hands on the ball, tight to his body, the receiver getting one hand on the ball should not be awarded a catch. It's one thing when both guys have even possession, two hands on the ball, whatever... but that should have been an INT
