Indiana-OSU Open Thread

Submitted by BlueWon on

for having to endure the pain of moving from a Kevin Wilson offense to a Mike DeBord offense.

MOD EDIT - I am going to preempt the OP and turn this into the game's open thread. Sound OK? - LSA

Sure it wasn't the best performance from OSU, but you are discounting Indiana. They are a solid B1G team (the same defense shut Michigan down last year). I've said it before, but Indiana will be a very difficult game for Michigan this year.

If you're IU, why in the fuck punt there?:  I get it, you're pinned deep, but guess what, you just proved you cant stop them anymore.  4th and 2 and shorter you might as well try and go down fighting.  Otherwise you're just fighting the inevitable.  Wow, stupid comment, the other announcer just said looking like the #2 team in the country.  You got a crossing pattern that no one decided to defend and are playing a team that has never challenged, atleat in the last half century, for a conference crown.  Yes, #2 team in the country.  JT "arm punt" Barrett for Heisman!

i was saying the same exact thing! OSU false starts almost every play! Mostly when Barrett is fake getting the snap...dont know how that is not called every play!  He fake gets the snap and then everyone quickly stands up to look over to the side line.

I have stronger feelings about Richard Lagow than like anyone who is not on Michigan or a Michigan rival.  He is like single handedly keeping Indiana from winning 9 games.

Meh, I wasn't overly impressed with OSU's offense. Looked very similar to the offense of last year. I mean, christ.. They still run speed option to the short side of the field for 0 yards.

What I saw was individual players for OSU being better than individual players of IU. It wasn't the offense, it was a guy making a catch that was wide open and then running faster than everyone. 

I guess that works sometimes, but eventually you need some structure to your drives.
