Noon games open thread
Not a great slate but some interesting games going on. Nebraska-NW is intriguing. Ohio State got a favorable, non-reviewed 4th down conversion and scored immediately after. Will be interesting to see if Auburn's decided lack of offense makes the Tennessee game interesting

Meh. I'm tired of watching OSU catch all the breaks. I'm switching to Nebraska-NU

He's dinking and dunking all day. Zero pressure.

October 13th, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
If we stay healthy I see us giving OSU and Haskins all they can handle. Their D sucks ass and they have zero running game. If I hear the announcers giving Campbell a verbal reach around anymore I’m gonna lose my shit.

It's not a tumah!
October 13th, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
Gophers playing the end of this half not to lose and I hate it.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Yeah that was a weak series from the Golden Gopher o
October 13th, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
If Minnesota can stop turning the damn ball over
October 13th, 2018 at 1:33 PM ^
OSU is fully "paper elite" but seems to be completely oblivious.
They are one windy, snowy November Saturday from being reminded what exactly wins championships.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:59 PM ^
That's the disadvantage of the B1G imho. Air-raid (or whatever they run now, looks more like air-raid than anything else to me) is a great offensive scheme, but, in the cold and weather you potentially have in B1G country, it's somewhat of a risk.

Unsportsmanlike conduct on the entire roster of both Vandy and Florida.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:36 PM ^
Two Florida players ejected.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:36 PM ^
OSU looks very beatable
October 13th, 2018 at 1:38 PM ^
And yet media types - esp herbstreit and Galloway - will suck OSU schlong
OSU is not that good. Imagine them okaying Alabama ; Haskins will be eating dirt all game. He won't dink and dunk his way
October 13th, 2018 at 1:38 PM ^
Sorry. Double post.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:36 PM ^
Even if it hurt OSU, I don't like clock runoffs. The clock should be the clock.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
It'd be free timeouts for the offense at a cost of five yards.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:39 PM ^
I could see starting the clock after a penalty following an inbounds play, but it shouldn't be a straight-up 10 second penalty. If you can manage to get the play off while only losing say, 6 seconds, more power to you.

Row that MFing toboggan!!
October 13th, 2018 at 1:50 PM ^
College football. Confusing. Iowa secretly good ? If so why did they lose to wiscy at kinnick ? Wisconsin really good ? Goodness.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
Iowa sucked in the red zone in that game. Dominated play really, but couldn't score.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
Iowa outplayed UW and lost mainly due to turnovers.
October 13th, 2018 at 1:57 PM ^
I’m sorry I haven’t seen Haskins make one throw that says he’s a heisman candidate. He underthrew the first TD to the point where the DB almost had the PBU. The second TD pass he threw behind a guy that had no one between him and the end zone. Could have put it anywhere between him and the end zone and it’s a TD yet he throws behind him. Every other throw is within 7 yards of the LOS to wide open receivers. Most are within 4 yards of the LOS. Most overrated player in college football. Nothing against the kid, just the analysts that think he’s the next roethlisberger. Lewerke held that title before the season but people have cooled on him.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
Haskins doesn't seem very illusive or smooth running out of the backfield.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:10 PM ^
He looks like he’s dragging a toilet hooked to a log chain shackled to his ankle. If we get in their backfield he’s not gonna finish the game with his ability, or lack there of to escape.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
Maybe, but, does it really matter if he's still effective enough for them to win?
October 13th, 2018 at 2:17 PM ^
Good college QB. Bust in NFL. Been saying that. Then trolls who are OSU slurpies come here and argue with me. See PFF. His stats are screen passes.
October 13th, 2018 at 4:00 PM ^
Wrong again lol Haskins threw for 412 yards and 3 TDs and completed exactly zero screen passes. Troll post
October 13th, 2018 at 2:00 PM ^
gotta admit that KJ Hill's celebration was great
October 13th, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
This may be the most one-dimensional OSU has looked since Meyer arrived. They are not great at running, and their pass blocking is weak.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
Nothing will ever beat the 2015 MSU game
October 13th, 2018 at 2:06 PM ^
I mean on the season, not for an individual game.
And in all fairness, that was in a rainstorm.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
Gary or Winovich should have a real fun time against Prince.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Haskins is a barge. He may need to slim down to improve his mobility.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
OSU RT Prince is very slow. If he can’t get hands on the DE they blow past him. Gave up a big sack at midfield.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
northwestern is choking against nebraska
October 13th, 2018 at 2:09 PM ^
Nebraska honestly has outplayed them today. We're really the only team to completely shut them down.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
Nebraska is getting better.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
Martinez is having a pretty solid game, glad we got Nebraska early it looks like things are coming together a little bit.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
We beat them 56-10. You don't get that much better in three weeks.
NU outgained Colorado by a large margin in week 1. They've actually been competent offensively all year, except against us.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:06 PM ^
OSU seriously looks like shit at some point every game...even lower big ten teams. Not well coached at all especially on defense, they just pull away because of more talent eventually.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
PJ Fleck is coaching this game like he has more talent than Ohio State.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
Iowa is taking it to Indiana. 35-10 now.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
OSU LT got rolled up on. That could be a while.
October 13th, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
It'd be a shame if he missed the rest of the season.
