When OSU led off against Toledo, they almost bought it. There are a few MAC teams that could pull it off. Toledo, NIU, maybe Ohio or WMU. Other than that, nope.

Urban said Roby's suspension could be increased depending on the outcome of the investigation, but as of now it is at least 1 game. The Bloomington PD did reduce the charges to disorderly conduct from assault though (I think because video evidence showed that Roby wasn't the aggressor).

Cal was 3-9 last year and OSU needed a last minute TD to pull out the win...at home. They looked much better against the Bucks than they did against the Pac 12. Poetic justice would have them win but I agree it's not likely.

I was actually picking Cal to upset Northwestern and maybe give OSU a scare until I read earlier this week that the Bears are going to be starting a true freshman at QB. So...yeah, not so much.

Pretty weak holding call negated a long Cal TD and they didn't just go for it with their run game which was gashing Ohio all day long. Instead they elected to air it out on the last drive of the game and turned it over on downs.

Surprised he got suspended at all. Police report said video showed he was pushed multiple times by bounchers before he "lunged" at them.

I'm sure the bouncers just decided to push him multiple times, for absolutely no reason at all. I'm sure he was a model citizen.

I am guessing that Urban believes that he has really hurt his chances of beating a team that was 94th in offensive yards per game, not to mention 108th in yards per play and 106th for 3rd down conversion rate. That doesn't include Buffalo's incredible 122nd rank in red zone scoring and 119th in points per play.

Sounds about right. Initial reports made Hyde and Roby's offenses far worse than they played out; 1 game is appropriate for what amounts to being idiots in the off-season. I just hope Meyer doesn't get any props for his handling of the cases beyond those usually doled out to coaches.
August 17th, 2013 at 5:20 PM ^
Umm, let's not sweep Hyde under the rug. That man struck a hundred pound female. That's disgusting. If I ran a team he would be gone. Roby, 1 game seems appropriate.

I really wish I could upvote this post.

Losing Hyde, Smith and Roby for that game means you might have to shave a TD off the 35-point margin the Buckeyes are favored in that contest. Maybe. So instead of a pair of featured seniors at running back, you go with Brionte Dunne and the rest of the stable, which means Miller runs a few extra carries and takes the yards the others would have gotten.
It's not exactly like this is tailback U and that Robey's absence changes the defensive gameplan against a Buffalo team that is somewhat competitive with a decent quarterback but will still get blown out by the Bucks, missing players or not.

Disclipline by Urban Meyer...

ohio nearly lost a few years ago to Navy running the option and the last time they played my alma mater, Air Force, they did lose. They got their asses handed to them. So, one can only hope.

because if he is, then there's another reason why we need the moderation feature back. And that said, you have a snark-o-meter that is well calibrated.

...the season opener was a conference game?
This is one of the reasons that isn't done any more. Got to open with a cupcake or two to get the off-season suspensions out of the way.
