I know I'm going to sound very Big 10 biased here. They are solid though. Penn St and Michelle St are better than their records show. Indiana, Purdue, Wisconsin, Iowa are solid teams. Maryland isn't great but not horrible. I swear Nebraska is the best 2-7 team in the nation. Nobody is talking about Northwestern but they are solid. Rutgers and Minnesota suck. I hate to give credit but will give credit where it's due. The Maize and Blue are solid. They are the best chance in the playoffs for the Big 10.

That said, Michigan St has a solid defense. It is downright tough to run up the gut on them. OSU started ugly today. We have found a bit of running game. Offense wasn't overly impressive but looked better. Special teams have been stupendous today. Martell has come in a couple times and bobbled. Offsides stuff wasn't his fault. Bad snap doesn't help him either. Then again he isn't the normal QB and the flow was a bit off. What I saw late in first half and mainly in second half was heart. I haven't seen much heart out of the Buckeyes this year. It was nice to see them dig down and get hungry. The defense seemed to play better as well. Not perfect. Lombardi came in for MI St and looked good for a couple drives. Then we seemed to find his number.

Time to dial it in against Maryland next week. Then we need to play out of our minds against the team up north.

Didn’t watch any of the game on Saturday. Taped it as I had more fun important thing to do that’s so much less stressful and enjoyable, I was in a tree most of the day!
I’m about 3/4 through viewing the game and glad I didn’t watch it live. What a shit show! Game ball goes to punter. Prince wouldn’t start for App St let alone be a captain! Why is Werner even still on field and what’s he done to earn even one buckeye leaf on his helmet?!?! Show up for practice?!?! 😂

It's not even fun to pick on you guys anymore. Starting to actually feel bad for you. That's just downright embarrassing no matter if they mount a comeback win or not.

I yelled "You guys suck!" at the TV earlier. That may have been a first. Definitely a first for this season. Defense finally playing with a bit of heart. Why wait until second half? Turnover central. Suck central. I'm just going to congratulate the Team Up North right now.

we will lose to Michigan by four touchdowns. we gonna get stomped. Ohio State is the worst 10-1 team in the country. no way we stay in the top 10 after that shit show against a 5-5 team. (n)
