Saturday Early Games Open Thread

That was a great run by the Cal RB.  OSU had some poor tackling, but that was video game-worthy.

Love silence in the shoe

Brendan Bigelow makes an 81-yard TD run, playing pinball with a few defenders and then accelerating to about Warp 4 once clear of the secondary. Nice. 

Reports on ESPN2 said that Bo Pelini left the game at half time in an ambulance.  No diagnosis.

Also Martinez fumbles x2 and lets Arkansas state back in the game.

being taken from the game via ambulance. Per everyone on Twitter. Pray that it's nothing serious.

Braxton reminds me of Denard last year...he see's the guy he wants to hit but he seems to throw at them instead of throwing them open. Seeing a lot of Buckeyes having to spin their hips to make what should be easy catches

Totally just messed up a punt and let Ark. State recover the ball (they were the kicking team).

Per ESPN. 

Has not looked sharp passing the ball.

Would it kill these guys to call a penalty on Ohio?

I have seen them give up big plays in all three games.

First, now that Braxton Miller is completing some passes down field he is gonna be hard to defend, especially since he's a sick runner and the size of a linebacker.  He is gonna give us fits for two more years after this...ugh

Second, I was just looking through MSU's depth chart and I think they are actually gonna be better next year.  Their junior class is really good and have a ton of guys coming back.  On offense they only lose two offensive lineman, but return Maxwell, Bell, Sims, and all recievers.  On defense they only lose their NT, Norman, and Adams.  They return both DEs, DT, Bullough, Allen, Denard, Lewis, and Jones....disappointing they are gonna give us trouble for another year still.  I'm hopeful guys like Bell, Bullough, and Gholston go early, but I doubt it.

Maynard needs to go Cutler on his tackles...they are getting smoked.

Pitt up 28-10 on Va. Tech!  BEAMER BALL!

...by OSU DB Bryant.

...he's Aaron Rodgers compared to Miller.  What a duck.

The FG  was no good, but as Christian Bryant is apparently just going to employ murdering knees as a defensive strategy, it is a relief to all to have him not on the field for a bit. 

THIS is the OSU offense I remember and expected to see this year.  Just ugly execution. 

It looks like Cal mistakes are what's keeping OSU in the lead. Miller doesn't look good at all, and Maynard's having a pretty good day so far.

Watching Cal's corners repeatedly come up and make tackles on outside runs make me very nervous for our game against Ohio. If they aren't there making plays, OHio's ball carriers aren't getting touched or at least 6 yards.

OSU is looking pretty damn bad. They should be losing.

Christian Bryant tackling people out of bounds after the 1st down and then trying to talk shit

Cal has a pretty good defense and it's showing against this Ohio team.  I know the Ohio offense isn'texactly lighting it up but part of that is the caiber of Cal's defense.  As the above noted, not all teams are going to succeed at stopping them like this and when teams don't have the outside players Cal does, it won't be/look this easy...

This is a darn big review for Cal.

Spielman sounds so reluctant whenever complimenting Cal or conceding that they've made a good play. Homer

Wow Cal is getting screwed

seriously, buck fans with the body paint #gobucks....how fucking stupid.

time to be impressive!

I swear 3 outta every 5 snaps is rolled back to Maynard; bad snaps.

Bucks in trouble.

Now watch Braxton juke the entire Cal D for about 80 yards.

Starting in Columbus.
