You remain an a-hole who knows a lot less about NU and football than you think, CC.
Well one of the three and outs was caused partially by one of the bad snaps, so
Exactly.
I would've liked to see us try a running play on 3rd down (and short) on the last drive.
Right back at you. Remember this exchange next year when Lausch develops into an upper echelon Big Ten QB and clowns like you develop amnesia while jumping on the bandwagon. I’ll be around to remind you.
Gordon realized we had gone almost an entire half without a false start or holding penalty. Decided to do something about that.
That’s what you do when the other team has had issues with snapping the ball.
I mean, it's not over yet. Force a punt coming out of the half, then make something happen on offense. Unlikely, but possible.
The D played pretty well that 1st half. There were some great catches by the WR's from Ohio State on some very tight coverage by our DB's and safeties.
Only gave up 14 pts. that half. Can't do anything about that bad snap on the punt that ended up on our one or two yd. line.

We gave up a literally free TD. Had we not done that perhaps it wouldn’t have caused such a momentum shift and we hold them off, maybe it’s like 10-7 going into halftime. Now with them getting f the ball after halftime I feel like the team is preparing for an immediate 28-7 and are just going to go totally flat. This could’ve been a hotly contested game well into the second half, instead it will be a second string snoozer for OSU.
Too bad we had some key plays that went sideways otherwise this could be a lot closer at the half. Turnovers/self-inflicted wounds have really hurt and deflated an otherwise impressive and competence 1sf half by the Cats. The bad snap that gave the Buck their 2nd td was esp. a killer play.
Why would any of that change in H2? These are NFL players and make few mistakes. Howard is pretty good, but he won't make any mistakes without pass pressure.
Gonna be tough to come back from that 2nd Quarter
I said it was unlikely but possible. We had two nice drives to start the game, including a 92 yard TD drive.
It pisses me off that the ball ALWAYS seems to bounce Ohio State's way when we play the Buckeyes. We've had breaks go our way against other elite schools in the conference over the years, but luck never favors us versus the Buckeyes.
Rushing 4 doesn't create any more pressure for us. Might as well drop in coverage
I don't know what the DB was doing on that play. He was in position to get a hand on the ball or lay a hit on the WR. Instead, he pulled up and just watched the play.
Turner could've picked that pass off if he'd watched the qb instead of staring at the receiver.
Yeah, really poor decision. So many close plays in this game that haven't gone NU's way. Even a deflection there would have forced a punt.
Disagree. And even the extra man couldn't stop the receiver from scampering for dozens of yards.
That was dangerous. Lucky Cam didn't get hurt on that face mask penalty. Ohio State cheating again and being dirty about it.
The refs are calling them for it, though. Can't accuse the refs of bias today.
Why do moronic Ohio State fans boo that call. It was obvious PI
