Indiana-Ohio State

[LandoComando]

It is super hard for me not to root for Indiana. Ugh...

Just enjoy the game.
If Ohio State wins it helps Penn State
If Indiana wins then you can laugh at Ohio State for flopping at home
Win win

 

[JimNazium]

Neither DB was beaten in those two calls.

The DB grabbed a hold of the receiver on both.

Jerry McGinn only ref that seems not scared to make calls on OSU.

 

[fastlax16]

I am enjoying all this laundry.

Lol...this is nothing new...you all just don't remember it...calls go against all teams

 

[LandoComando]

Remember that when it hurts Indiana lol

 

[bono47]

Lol...this is nothing new...you all just don't remember it...calls go against all teams

Yeah yeah sure sure. That doesn't get called against PSU.

 

[NittanyChris]

Herbstreit is such an effing homer. He used to try and hide it, but not anymore.

 

[tboyer]

Jerry McGinn of Malvern is the referee. It' one of the best if not the best crew in the league. Doing Ohio State no favors, that was a little bit of a cheap call.

 

[SR108]

The difference is their WRs can actually run routes

Or the QB is allowed to throw them open.

 

[LandoComando]

Yeah yeah sure sure. That doesn't get called against PSU.

It does
Stop being a victim
No one is out to get us

 

[IANit]

The difference is their WRs can actually run routes

So can ours when not being held.

Bernstein is not on the game.

 

[lazydave841]

People always say this and they're wrong. He was going through he progressions and deliver the ball correctly. He never saw the back because he wasn't nearly that far through. That would have been his fourth read.

Klatt called it out. Said he'd wish he'd have waited a tick longer.

 

[LandoComando]

Or the QB is allowed to throw them open.

To do that you have to trust the receivers...we don't have receivers other than Warren that understand how to beat zone or man

 

[JWB389]

Watching this game, OSU looks like us and IU looks like OSU.

 

[LandoComando]

So can ours when not being held.

Since when? If you beat the DB off the line you won't get held...contact is legal

 

[LandoComando]

Klatt called it out. Said he'd wish he'd have waited a tick longer.

Klatt said that and he's wrong...presnap the LB was on the back...he stumbled which is why he would have been open. I dislike Howard but he did nothing wrong there.

 

[lazydave841]

Carnell Tate looking good today.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

I am really disliking this Fox broadcast. Gus Johnson comes with that annoying stretch of syllables when he wants to have emphasis. Joel Klatt, who I would normally like, has said that they are calling pass interference "close," and that this favors Indiana. Those first two calls against OSU #1 were blatant PA. Not even close to debatable.

 

[Delcolion915]

Ohio State gets out of it. Carnell Tate.

 

[tboyer]

The Indiana D is overmatched. Ohio State O-line is just fine. Nice call by Day to go for it on 4th down -- converting that one was a real statement. And Howard that time made a great throw with a guy in his face.

 

[LandoComando]

Watching this game, OSU looks like us and IU looks like OSU.

It's been a quarter...everyone relax.
It's like our games when people think we lost because we're down 3 at the half

 

[WaylonJ]

One thing you learn if you read this board long enough; it's always better for us if Ohio St wins. Even when they're playing us.

 

[junior1]

isn't contact only legal w/I 5 yards of line of scrimmage?

 

[LandoComando]

That's typically the only time it's not

 

[GregInPitt]

If they actually call PI this joker Klatt says their calling it close?

No, in both cases the uh-high-ya clearly grabbed the WR nearly as the ball got there.

 

[LandoComando]

isn't contact only legal w/I 5 yards of line of scrimmage?

Hence if you beat them off the LOS there's no issue
But football at all levels allows contact beyond 5 yards. If that was called we'd never see a play without a flag

 

[PennState_one]

I am most curious about how Indiana's depth will hold up as this game goes on.

 

[lazydave841]

Klatt said that and he's wrong...presnap the LB was on the back...he stumbled which is why he would have been open. I dislike Howard but he did nothing wrong there.

I don't like throwing short of the sticks on 3rd and short. I know OSU WR > IU anybody but IU is sitting in zone. Even if he was open, it was gonna require a broken tackle to get 1st down yardage at a minimum and maybe a second.

Klatt is very OSU-sided today so far. He's been against all of the penalties, all of which were obvious and easy calls. I can see why some are confusing him with Herbie, but it's sort of comical to not know Herbie doesn't call Fox games.

Yep, that is how a team that knows it's better than it's opponent should play. But I don't see Franklin doing that in the same situation, although I believe PSU is also better than IU.

I’m fine with it hurting indiana if it’s called both ways.

Maserati Marv. The World Famous Ohio State University. Gus Johnson is unwatchable. Klatt is usually fair, but seems off with his assessment of the penalties so far.

Herbie being the face of ESPN should give that away lol
I don't like that either. They've done it a few times...I don't like the decision to run run run run....cost them points

 

[LandoComando]

Yet you're not okay when it's not called both ways as it was in our game?
It just has to be consistent. It was then. We'll see how it goes today

Did OSU borrow the PSU playbook on that failed 4th & 1?

 

[McCloudersportLion]

Indiana got them Trench Dawgs on both sides of the bawl. Not a gimmicky team at awl.

 

[creamery freak]

Junkins ran like a little girl into that pile.

I have a problem with consistently not calling penalties that are penalties.

 

[GregInPitt]

Looks like uh-high-ya should have learned to put their TE in for a "Warren leap" on 4th and short.....
