both of these coaches clearly are coaxing their QBs into the game running into real heavy boxes. much happier with how we approached lindsey

Even the best WR in the country is having issues with drops today.

GopherMenace · Saturday at 11:42 AM

Ohio St receivers having a case of the drops makes me feel slightly better about our own receivers.

SJUgopher · Saturday at 11:44 AM

Also noticeably bad so far…tOSU TE and WRs with 3 drops - 2 by smith

Agree 3 dropped passes in the first quarter already. Also Arch Manning the Heisman anointed one misses a wide open receiver by bouncing a pass. Maybe we weren't as rusty as I thought.

Phillip Daniel’s off to a very poor start. Ran right behind him on 3rd and 1 and he immediately whiffed on his block and tOSU got stuffed and turned over on downs the next play with an awful drop.

Can't watch, what tackle spot is he at (left or right)?

Lou Brown · Saturday at 11:49 AM

Yup. If you think it’s the gloves, it’s the gloves.

Agree. Watched him intently on a few plays and he's struggling. Only 1q though

Also start of OS vs Texas. On the kickoff an invalid fair catch call on opening kick I wounder how many Iowa fans saw that.

Unregistered User · Saturday at 11:55 AM

Tulane is a very good team and a sleeper playoff team, but Northwestern is garbage.

Preston Stone has thrown 3 picks for NW in the first half.

Vols crushing Orange. Getting ugly early

if OSU decides to actually throw the ball, they're going to win this game comfortably. TX is getting minimal pressure and really struggling to cover the WRs (provided the WRs actually catch the ball)

Lou Brown · Saturday at 12:11 PM

Love the 4th down call! Strong dislike for the Buckeyes but gotta say Ohio State is the new Bama.

Also I’ve had enough of the Arch Manning commercials for awhile. Mix it up.

Gopher Mac · Saturday at 12:20 PM

I think Arch Manning is going to win the Heisman this year. The only flaw I see in his game is he has trouble completing a forward pass.

Pompous Elitist · Saturday at 12:22 PM

Looks like Arch Manning coming out party delayed till next week.

DarrenTheGreek · Saturday at 12:25 PM

Northwestern down 17 to Tulane.
Purdue up 21 on Ball State

BYU with Retzlaff was going to be a top 10-15 team in country. He will do well with Tulane and make them very dangerous.

Pompous Elitist · Saturday at 12:31 PM

Throws like Uncle Rico.

Just me?

After watching first half from the number one team in the nation Texas I don't think we should take a 12-0 record off the table for your boys!!!

DarrenTheGreek · Saturday at 12:41 PM

5/10, 26 yards
Woof

Gopher Mac · Saturday at 12:43 PM

I haven't seen an offensive performance like this since Iowa vs NW.

CurveballJesus · Saturday at 12:45 PM

Is OSU’s defense that good, or is Arch a JAG?

think all of Texas is vastly overrated this year. OSU D is good though

First half of the first game and all, but the way he's looked the only way he gets the Heisman is if he either saves up enough box-tops or the Manning family buys it for him. I'm surprised how poor his form is. tOSU defense is extremely good, but Manning looks like he's just winging it.

Now that’s a blast from the past. I remember the bun tasted “wierd”. One and done for me.

upnorthkid · Saturday at 1:01 PM

lol texas just grabbing smith everywhere he goes. i don't mind football like this, but osu is clearly better than texas but its letting them stay in it
