Ohio State - TCU game thread

That play was cute and all but that was so far forward it wasn't even funny.
And now that's 3 plays where Turpin has killed the Frogs -- the hold on the TD in the first quarter, a drop for a first down 2 possessions ago, and now this bad execution on the trick play.

Just to be clear though: if we had beaten Pitt in 2016, we would have made the CFP, but so would tOSU. It's Washington that would have been left out.
looks like they’ve shot themselves in both feet.
Unfortunate as they were taking it to OSU.
Total implosion. A lot of it is Pattersons' fault: Got super conservative with the lead, defense let up and stopped blitzing, stupid lateral, followed by the punt botch. That's all it takes to lose a game.
This is the thing I'm most concerned about. Even ignoring the conference perception, I think we have a better chance to defeat tOSU is they win tonight and are overconfident then if they lose and circle the wagons. I hope the Buckeyes manage to build on this lead and get cocky.
Oh yeah, my bad. I was switching between this game and the Texas game on Fox, and he got a call wrong in that game.
Looked like menstrual cramps.
Lol, I don’t think so unfortunately. Our defense is soft, OSU is going to score 45 against us unfortunately.
We may hold them to a little less than that, but I agree that they will score at around 5 TDs on us.
From this game I have concluded that OSU's secondary is very sub-par.
we will need to score early and often
In 40 years of watching college football, I'm not sure I've ever seen a shovel pass get intercepted.
I saw Sam Mills pick off a Bubby Brister shovel pass in the mid 90s but yeah, I don't think I've seen a shovel pass get picked like that one did.
This is the reason you don't run hyper speed offense against Ohio State. With their depth you need to SLOW THE GAME DOWN, not speed the game up. All that does is elongate the game and allow their depth more chances.
This is why they will struggle at Beaver Stadium also: The crowd noise eliminates high speed offensive play calling. Yes, you CAN run it, but you cannot audible, and at all times you must run silent count. That slows the game down.
We also saw tonight that TCU is, indeed, a Big 12 team and they play Big 12 defense. We are young, but we are better than any Big 12 defense and that includes Oklahoma and West Virginia.
Finally, this was a home game for Ohio State. They still have not played an away game. Their first away game will be in the most difficult place to play in the nation.
Allow me to add this: Texas is going to spank this outfit next week in Austin. They really aren't that good.

The clock stops with going out of bounds. It just restarts once the ball is set, unless you are within the last 2 minutes of the half.
