A couple bullet point thoughts about the game:
- I got a chance to sit in the indoor club section. That place is unbelievable. So posh.
- The most exciting part of the second half was betting on which section of the student section would be completely empty first. From the third quarter on, there were about three sections that had less than five people in them, and one section got down to one, but none emptied completely out. So, kudos. I can't say I blame the students, it was cold, we weren't competitive, it wasn't exciting, and there were Halloween parties filled with underdressed trollops to go to. Still, wasn't the stadium supposed to revitalize the students? I'd be totally on board with totally getting rid of the top student section, and keeping all the students downstairs, in essence, cutting the section in half. It's evident that most of the students don't care, much of which is due to the fact that tickets are so cheap that they don't have an investment in the team.
- Why was Weber still in there? He looked bad for most of the game, missing open receivers, etc, and he was getting lit up. Why not put Alipate in there? It would have provided a little excitement to what was otherwise sheer drudgery.
- Why is Eskridge getting so many carries? Duane has disappointed me a bit, but I just don't understand this staff's love for Eskridge. He's surprised with a few carries in recent weeks, but for the most part, he just looks like his old self, without much burst, or ability to shake or break tackles.
- I love Gray and McKnight as a receiving tandem. It's a shame that their talents are being wasted this year.
- Our D was pathetic. OSU was always probably going to win, but we looked three steps behind all game. Terrible.
- I'm still loyal to Hammock. I liked most of the gameplanning, until the second half, when we appeared to go in a Brad Childress-esque shell to try to keep the score down. I almost wonder if Horton retrieved the playcalling responsibility, because it looked like our playcalling from earlier in the year. Run, no gain, run, no gain, pass in triple coverage.
