Late afternoon/evening games Open Thread
Couple of afternoon games are still finishing up and then two of our rivals play what should be interesting games this evening. In Knoxville, Tennessee has just tied Georgia 24-24 in the 4th. And Okie St. just jumped back in front of Kansas St by 1 late in the game.

It is odds. We have one "5 star" on the D-line in Pipkins. OSU has about 5 in their freshman/RS freshman grouping. Some will be ok, some might bust, some will be great. You need to stack up as much talent as possible and some will hit. That doesnt mean a 3 star cannot hit but the odds start to decrease. It will be very difficult to compare the 2 DLs the next 2 years as the OSU DL is essentially HS All American after HS All American, - they have 3 freshman already in the 2 deep I believe.

I hear what you're saying, but when is the last time we had a freshman/soph on the defensive line make an impact? I can't recall one. The past few classes have been pretty similar from both teams yet they get guys to contribute on the d-line and we don't despite our head coach and coordinator. It's frustrating.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:53 PM ^
I'm with you there. Graham and Martin were the last 2 DL studs. Mostly role players since. Beyer if anything I guess but he is a hybrid DE/LB

No offense, but it's obnoxious when people watch some other team play and then bitch all game about how Michigan isn't the exact same as them.
We can play that game with every team. Devin Funchess has turned into a total beast as a receiving threat. Why haven't all other programs' sophomore TEs developed the same way?

Until our team ceases to be frustrating it's only natural to voice your frustration that other teams don't have to deal with...especially when it's a rival, and a team that is recruiting at a similar pace. It's pretty obvious to compare the two. When I see us recruit like a top 10 team, yet play like an unranked team, it's frustrating. Just because we get one position to produce and others don't doesn't mean we should cease to be frustrated by those that don't. The difference is lack of playmaking ability at TE is not negatively affecting OSU. Our lack of playmaking at d-line is negatively affecting us.

12 plays, 72 yards, TD, all but one play on the ground with their second and third string running backs.
They're now at 674 for the game. with 9:36 to play in the third.
I guess if they don't want to run up the score they have to start punting on first down.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:45 PM ^
They are shutting down ASU.

I don't think NW is going to score again.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:47 PM ^
I think you're wrong
October 5th, 2013 at 10:51 PM ^
I think NW pulls it out. The ball has a way of bouncing in favor of the home team in these late night games. Go Cats.
October 5th, 2013 at 11:03 PM ^
They are great at choking.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:47 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 10:50 PM ^
I don't get it.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:47 PM ^
Almost fumbled...
October 5th, 2013 at 10:48 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 10:48 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 10:48 PM ^
TD ASU. Word to your mothers.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:49 PM ^
Please tell me no one in this thread is rooting for osu right? I want these shitbags to finally feel the agony of defeat for once in 17 games.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:51 PM ^
I'm rooting for NW, but there are some people taking the side of Ira and want NW to lose.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:49 PM ^
for NW; they tackle well, and will be tough
October 5th, 2013 at 10:51 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 10:51 PM ^
What's up with all the chrome facemasks? I can't tell if the ND green or Washington blue is worse.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:52 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 10:52 PM ^
Yeah, this is the NW team I've come to expect.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:52 PM ^
Fuck me!!!!!
October 5th, 2013 at 10:53 PM ^
He's no Leidner...
October 5th, 2013 at 10:53 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 10:53 PM ^
This game will end once Ohio scores a TD here. I'm telling you, NW won't score again.
I'll be more than happy to eat crow if NW wins.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:54 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
Well, look at you, wrong as usual.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:53 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 10:53 PM ^
Northwestern NOOOOOOO
October 5th, 2013 at 10:54 PM ^
I think "Triggerman" is Musberger-speak for "Unstoppable Throw-god".
Also, Brent really needs to get off the air and live a quiet, retired, creepy life in Winterhaven, FL. Or something. Just please go away.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:54 PM ^
holds a fucking LOT.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:55 PM ^
When your QB is completing less than 50% of his passes, it's probably not accurate to say it is the best game you have seen him play.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:55 PM ^
Northwestern here is where you should probably try and finish the fucking game for once like your whole season is based upon!
October 5th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
"Urbz" gonna go for it. This is a no brainer. Ohio's line is larger and better than NW's DL. The smart move is to kick the FG, but if you want to win this game, you score a TD here.
EDIT: It's a TD anyway, so never mind.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 10:55 PM ^
Another reason to root for NW - if OSU somhow fumbles vs say ILL (yes I know not likely but every year there is 1 game you go - HUH!) and Wisconsin runs the table, OSU is not even in the Big 10 championship game
October 5th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
Exactly right
October 5th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
That is a TD. OSU lead.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
October 5th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
Fucking great. Touchdown.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
doesnt look indistputable.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^
bite me refs
October 5th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
That was probably a TD, but at this point does it matter? OSU is going to score here regardless.
October 5th, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^
