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

OSU look like a Florida State team. Great Athletes everywhere you look, but undisciplined and not a good team. At this point.

Watching the game and heard the chant from the IU crowd of "overrated". I've never understood this chant.  Why make it seem like your opponent is less than what they are if you beat them?  Don't get it.

This may be wasted typing but, if a team is rated higher than you and you beat them, they are overrated. If not, Indiana would be claiming to be #1 if the #2 team is not in fact overrated. Which I guess, if that makes more sense to you... go for it!

FWIW for this instance I recommend the under appreciated chant "Hooooosier Daaddy...clap, clap, clap, clap, clap..." repeat indefinitely.

How about we just get rid of holding? If they don't call it let's just call a spade a spade. OSU literally never holds so maybe we should just even the playing field.

I usually like Herbstreit's commentary but don't get the last comment.  He said after Campbell's TD that he didn't hang his head.  Pretty sure the shot after Campbell dropped the TD pass he was on the sidelines with his head down, sulking.  Not hard to catch a close range crossing pattern and run forever when you have a clear path.  Now of course OSU is cramping again.  UGH, this is usually the game OSU finds a way to win.

I know Ohio State has a great defensive line but IU is giving Lagow zero time. If he doesn't get the ball out immediately he's doomed.
