Did anyone see that red zone?
Am I the only one who thought that was horrendous, and watching the football passed through it actually made me nauseous. Too gimmicky, like Fox’s Puck Streak in NHL Games

Gotta love that coverage of Bowman

Good we might see our secondary get some real reps..
They’ve only had to cover for 1.5 seconds a play up to this point.
That's what Paul Revere Said

That was a heck of a catch..
I think he was closer than the two… stuffed on 4th down, crap call.
Sounds like my son's HS Ministry Game
We play a team from Gainesville State (Juve prison) each year, as Ministry for his high school Football Team. We always let them score at least 7 points.
JoePa’s Ministry is MAC Teams
"Dig In....Hit Hard"
Not to discredit the stop, but...
Did it not look like the receiver had his feet in the endzone when he caught the ball on 3rd down?
Doesn't matter.
it’s the ball that matters, not his feet.

Inside handoff
I don’t think Akron has made positive yardage on that play all day
A win over Pitt is like kissing your sister
Need to take Royster out soon...
Don’t want to happen to Royster, what happened to OSU’s Wells last year against YSU.
Pleased with the running...
going a little better.

I'm personally amazed
that Glen Mason hasn’t found a coaching gig somewhere with his ADD/playstation offensive philosophy.
Oh...there's the Blue Band

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
It’s like wondering through the woods of Arkansas and hearing the call of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. “Did I really hear that???”

Suhey may be the quickest FB we've had in a while.
Considering that the FB is always open in this offense..
Wrong Stat
Didn’t include Bowden’s 14 “vacated” games

Come on...
Someone fell asleep. I guess now better than later.

Now that's what I was afraid of..
Where’s Astorino?
Sloppy and Stupid
They are reading and believing their own press at halftime. Gotta put your foot on their throat. Unacceptable.
"Dig In....Hit Hard"
Announcers noted a change in number
Sukay is using #9 this week since he and Quarless are both on the return team.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
it is
They said he’s wearing 9 since he and Quarless are on kick coverage together. And, although they didn’t say it, Zordich won’t play, so no matter.
Moye...
Will not catch another ball. Zug forbid we have a 200 yard receiver on top of national stats.
Also, o-line run blocking looks shaky.

New guards
this half, sweet Lou Eliades is out, and did Stank start? Because he’s in at left guard.
Nice block downfield from Brackett
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Moye looks really good
Plus, Clark is handling pressure well. Staying loose on his feet, being patient.
"Dig In....Hit Hard"
I just wish he would be more accurate and consistent
"Dig In....Hit Hard"
That's the second time
his helmet came off
"Dig In....Hit Hard"
Doesn't Clark put his chinstrap on?
That’s the second time

More like booing the play call on third and the pooch punt
I hate pooch punts.

Seriously
I wanted to see them break in Fera with a 50+ yarder attempt
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Akron's o-line is playing better..
I’m disappointed with the reduced rush.
Who is that sideline reporter?
English As A Second Language would help. Or a little bit more ZIP.

Tell Jaypa to teach Clark to slide. We are one head shot away from not being so good.

Akron Still has -11 Yrds rushing
So defense has to be doing something right. Why wouldn’t that run the Nickel 3 out of every 4 non-punt downs, make them try the run.
"Dig In....Hit Hard"
I like that Glen Mason's co-announcer is trying to prop him up
Actually, co-announcer, Glen can’t coach.

Great reference

Akron Making Lots of Mistakes...
…that a Big Ten team won’t make.
I remain unconvinced of that statement
(concerning the Big 10)
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Wallace broke on the play
It was gonna be a 60/40 catch at best.
Akron is +1 in TO ratio today
To be honest they haven’t made many ‘mistakes’.
Quarless has not been blocking with any effort
We may not see him too much this season.

Anyone notice the Big Ten Preseason Offensive Player of Year
playing mediocre football….while Clark is doing work….by the way, time for Newsome
by GoingDeep on Sep 5, 2009 2:35 PM EDT reply actions
You mean the overrated Offensive Player of the Year…. I’m sick of everyone overhyping him. Oh I can’t wait to see him eat Beaver turf.
last time I checked
the best dual-threat QB has only rushed for 16 yards

They always have a tendency to under achieve badly in some games
Ferentz thing.

We haven't played screens well today.
I’m surprised given our veteran LB’s.
Ohio State has no running game..
For the record 29 carries for 125 yards against Navy.
Nope, extra point

I hope Arm Punt doesn't think he can make plays like that against Bowman and Lee (or USC)
DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?
For the overrated Nuts
they’ve allowed 309 yds of total offense. My friend who is a buckeyes fan said this earlier: “The triple option they run is annoying to stop – but yea a bit disappointing”
Joe isn't exactly going all out with the play calls either...
The lack of scoring is still upsetting though.

Pryor with the pick..
Holy Crap.. what an awful decision/throw.
heisman huh? loser

Have they checked to see if he's throwing with the wrong hand?

in his defense....
….it looked like the receiver tipped it away….
…nah, never mind, he sucks

We stopped em on third
So its okay

not missing much
I think Akron is trying to kill the clock for us. Which is nice of them. :)

Just made the same call – our guys have been mailing it in since the half. Getting too upset over a sloppy W

I don't know
With how Iowa and Minny (and now tOSU) have opened up, it looks like we would be pretty good to open.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.

TOUCHDOWN NAVY! Christ, torn internally over rooting for OSU to lose vs the embarassment for the B10
I hope they lose today and beat USC next week

That's the same play they scored on before

Newsome pass to Beachum
nice run, with a personal foul (late hit) added at the end.
Just an update for those watching the more exciting games
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
That sucks
The sad thing is it looked like Dobbs could have run it in

I have no faith in tOSU after that garbage

Curtis Drake sighting

big 10 looking awfully strong today ::ahem:::

I think people are finally done hyping pryor
Navy’s Dobbs had better stats today
"This is how I chill, ma'am"
OSU got the 1st
They are going to win but this is going to look bad for them. I expect OSU to drop in the polls and for PSU to rise a spot.

If you look at the total yardage..
PSU 500, Akron 180.. This game was right on schedule.
