Great effort today. We have got to recruit better talent on offense to take the next step.
Despite the 300 yards running give up the defense did their job, The offense DID NOT.
AGreed. He looked to his right to see if there was a lane. At first I thought he looked to the sidelines to get direction.
Need two TDs now. We played well but not well enough. 3 turnovers killed us.
Exactly...it was the slightest flinch of something but OSU was probably thinking something similar so it was dead in the water.
I believe we have a few guys out at DT, and their o-line is a virtual all-star give. That back ain't bad, either. Great effort by our guys today, but we're not going to win a three-turnover game against OSU, and Anderson needs to turn his improved recruiting efforts at o-line into better results for us there. Just not enough offense to win this game.
Often Sermon is untouched. Not even missed tackles. Just nowhere near the guy
He's nearly doubled his season rushing total
Actually, our recruiting has gotten better and better which is why we are even playing today. Truth is there is a huge difference between top 5 teams and 10-20 teams. Until NCAA finds a wa y to level the playing field, it will be that way. If they do level the playing field, the big money may be in jeopardy. Tough call.
Or maybe we just need more depth. Try having two guys play DT the whole game against OSU. They are gassed.
Come on now. Don't let your bias or jealousy of OSU blind you.
-Missing 22 players including one of the best WR's in the country and leading tackler on D. (and best WR coach).
-A&M has a 4 TD loss and a 4 point win over a no-win Vandy.
Who deserves it over them?
Disagree. Must stop the run. Might end up FOUR hundred yards rushing
But yes offense feeble
Our D played well enough and kept us in the game. Our O has been shut out this half, some of it self-inflicted.
There's no reason to overreact to this game. Our defense is playing at the level needed to win a Big Ten championship.
Our offense isn't. We're not all that far off from winning a game like this. It just hurts because we all know these opportunities are rare (hopefully this 2 in past 3 years appearances repeats often enough in the future).
Hank has always been the best coordinator in the country, and our defenses have shown why year in and out.
There's no moral victories anymore, but we can win a game like this if we get our offense up to the level our defense has reached.

That is ball game. Bummer. We need to get back here with a deeper line and strength on O next time. It is doable. Today was doable. More will join us to get back here to win this thing next time.
