OSU vs MD game thread

[republion]

Who are you pulling for and why? OSU to get a more meaningful matchup or MD to give a little wiggle room in the B1G East? Side note- is there a worse TV view in sports than the default sideline view that comes from Ohio state? It feels like the camera is looking down at the field from atop the stadium.

Great start for Texas in that one…14-0 less than two minutes in

 

[bdgan]

Who are you pulling for and why?

Is that a serious question? I always want OSU to lose.

 

[bdgan]

MD has no pass rush.

 

[LionsandBear]

Stop the crossing routes and you stop O$U. Ryan Day is in love with it. Easier said than done but I feel like it's their bread and butter.

I’m pulling for tornado?

totally pulling for tOSU to win large. it makes our game with tOSU more meaningful. Md will never be considered a power and do little for us when we win. Md looks like a backyard team - QB seems to be trying to run every play.

I mean they can also run the ball and beat u with the deep pass to Olave and Wilson. But, yes, the short crossing routes are crucial to their long drives

Nah, I want O$U to lose every week unless their win directly benefits us. You can have your meaningful game. I want their total distruction!!

Seems like whenever it's 3rd and a passing situation, it's what they run. They'll run the other stuff on 1st and 2nd but if its 3rd and 5 or more, they're looking for that route.

For sure...they are just so efficient on offense and don't call plays fearing down and distance....they have guys who just make plays

 

[McCloudersportLion]

Henderson is the real deal Holyfield - gonna be a challenge between him and all those NFL receivers.

OSU offense looking very efficient today. Maryland defense is outmatched and undisciplined trying to work between zone and man.

I'm still reserved about what you can take from this game.

UMD running zone cuz they don't have the athletes to run man against O$U. O$U is finding the holes and and Stroud is playing pitch and catch. I'm switching to MSU v RU.

They're past "efficient." That OSU offense is just flat out scary. Maryland has tried to keep everything in front of them (except for that last play to Olave) and OSU is just chewing them up with 15 to 20 yard completions and most of that is their OL

They are balanced and explosive from all parts of the field...they don't inch around waiting for plus field position...will be a huge challenge

Two CBs out. Nick Cross got so much going on he doesn't know where to go now.

I'm checking out. Ark/Ole Miss is tied.

Ohio State's defense is not very impressive. Maryland, on the other hand, has a horrible defense.

Hard to take much away from this game.

tosu has the athletes to boat race any team in the B1G…it’s just a matter of time before they find their groove.

Agreed, but it's very easy when Stroud's first read is wide open 95% of the time.

And the first read could be any of those 3 receivers, all who have breakaway speed and great hands

It's mean. Down right nasty. Maryland took away the running game and Stroud is hitting everything in stride. Must get pressure. Must play some man.

Agree about taking away the running game. You could see them stacking the line but that QB Stroud is really good and getting better and better

so, the reason all the talking heads pick Iowa is because they beat this horrible Maryland team?
LOL

Have to appreciate Day running it up like "we're #3 now, right?"

 

[LemonEars]

Starting to look like Maryland and Rutgers are still Maryland and Rutgers.

He pulled many starters before the end of the 3rd quarter. OSU could have scored 80. Maryland was down 5 cb's. Not OSU's fault.

I wasn't complaining. If Iowa scores 51, y'all had to top that. It's just the nature of the game.

 

[Media Fan]

Until proven otherwise, still the best team in the Big Ten.
