Good pressure on QB that time.

roughing the QB, for sure.

That looked despicably deliberate.


must be big-10 refs are different. no single penalty call so far!

Quite worrisome if tOSU is beating you through the air...


true. but Miller's not a bad passer, he's not Tebow. he can actually thread some passes, like the 2nd TD pass with Steve Williams covering

can someone please explain why anyone would run on 3rd down?

what is 4-5 yards on 3rd and long going to do for you when youre going to punt?


I can't think of a time under Tedford when a QB left the the field and the 2nd string did anything but handoff. I knew it was coming and I'm sure Urban Meyer did as well. Why not throw deep? Even if you're picked off, it's not much worse than the upcoming punt. Bridgford has a slow release and his ball float but he is accurate, and if we could get someone in space there is good chance for a completion.

There was a five yard penalty call earlier after the Ohio St punt but not sure on who or what .... otherwise the yellow laundry is tucked tight today

Not only is the rugby punt dumb, I am pressed to recall a time in the past three years where it has been remotely successful.

Not to mention, we are forcing VERY good punters to do this. Beyond dumb IMO.

Well, the Maynard haters got their wish. He's injured and Bridgeford is now in.

But the next play was a rather obvious draw. The question is when/if Maynard will return.


Quit with the straw man argument. It's a consensus that we want Maynard in there because JT has invested so. Uh in him only and no one trusts AB. The point is what JT didn't do in spring or fall. We're stuck and were rooting for Zach now. We're all behind Maynard today and he's playing great.

<sigh>. Because that mostly works in Madden 2012. Otherwise he isn't warmed up.

Zero pass rush


Last thing I read was that we were worried about too many defensive linemen, and, oh, how good they all were! Remember? We were grumbling about the lack of O and rationalizing that we'd be happier winning 10-3 than losing 35-28.
What happened to that concept?

Because a deep throw requires a 7 step drop and their DL has proven its ability to get to our QB (see preceding play).

That said, a play action pass and short pass would have been nice.

Williams is just too small and a bit slow. He was a step behind on that pass.

Their QB is just making some really nice throws. Nothing you can do.

Man...Steve Williams needs to make a play. He's getting picked on big time.

That's what I would think except I've seen it work against us many times: QB 1 helped off the field, QB 2 comes in and throws for a long gain.

need to answer here badly. at least move the chains a couple times, keep the D on the sidelines

We were worried about Braxton Miller running; but OSU noticed that hey, the Bears have no pass defense. He'll just throw it up all day and it's going to be really, really ugly.

4 possession - 3 tOSU touchdowns. Don't think we can hang this on Zach.

We can officially change the direction of our collective anger away from Tedford and Maynard and onto Pendergrast.

Their QB is playing a hell of a game today but there's a bigger picture at play wherein we've seen this before. Pendergrast.

Fire Pendergast?


Gotta start to wonder about whether he can work in the college game where you have to design defenses to sometimes protect weak links. NFL - EVERYONE is good.

I'm going to chalk that up to a karma TD, since they had dropped a pick-6 earlier.

Tedford has an easy 94 plays like that. It just that the players can't execute. Sarcasm.
