Like everyone said before the season, this will be a tough game but one we can win if they play the way they are capable of. Stop Braxton and you stop Ohio St.

He is very good, but all we need to do is play a little better defense than Michigan State and get more pressure and tackle better and win the turnover battle and field position battle and the rest will take care of itself.

I so thought we were wasting our biggest recruiting weekend, then we turn it around and get an exciting win. Hope we made a good enough impression on them tonight!!

I am not as low on Beck as a lot of guys. The reason to run those QB option reads early is to wear down those LBs early so in the late 3rd and early 4th quarter we can run the ball downhill for large chunks of yards. Which worked tonight. I think it is fair to say Wisconsin's defense was exhausted. yes I would normally agree with you, but I don't think that was a derivative of the play calling in the first half. We just have severe depth issues on the defensive line. We were without our starting defensive ends tonight and we lost our second best defensive tackle before the season due to strokes. As a result we weren't rotating our defensive line as frequently and when we were, we were playing with 3rd and 4th stringers, including a DT that literally weighs 250 and went from an ILB, to a DE, to a DT, in the span of about a month. I just think my biggest question with your OC, and why I even posted in the first place, was how he could watch the game film of our previous games this season, and not devise a game plan that was pass heavy. Like they said on the broadcast, we don't even play the nickel and opt to leave in our linebackers in coverage because our secondary is so bad. I mean we gave up 265 passing yards to Northern Iowa and 259 passing yards to UTEP. good point I forgot about the ends being out. that would explain our o line doing so well tonight, but your d played their butts off, if they had more bodies who knows what happens. But back to your point, I was really expecting us to come out passing until they could show they could stop it. Instead they are stuborn and run into a stacked front no matter what, I just really have been confused as to the play calling at several points since he took over OC.

It was self inflicted, they just looked like they were lost at the beginning, just really unsure of themselves or something. Once taylor settled down and he got into his groove we rolled.

We won, our D dominated the line of scrimmage and I never saw that coming. We pressured the qb and made the stops when we needed and our db's learned how to look for the ball in the second half. There was some stupid errors in the first half all over the place, I'm not sure why we lose focus in the big games but I'm glad they got it back the second half. When we got back within 10 it was like we knew we were going to win and they couldn't stop us, I just loved that momentum we built.

What the word on B Miller's knee?

I agree, we can not afford to give Ohio St a 17 point head start this year. We need a complete game and a lot less mental errors than we had tonight.

Our OC like most of our staff is learning on the job, he has really improved over last season but still has a ways to go. In his defense it is always easier to second guess his play calling than it would be to run it in the heat of the moment. And to criticize everyone in the frickin world could see they were sold out on the run and he should have been calling some pass plays to back the d off and we didn't get in the game until he did.

Touchdown baby!!!!!!!!

nice catch TURNER!

If we quit shooting ourselves in the foot we can get back in this

We just got sucker punched, now it's time to open the can of whoop ass!!!!!!!!!!

Just what we can't afford to do. Were extremely losing the field position battle and obviously the turn over battle to boot

wtf

Bye week is huge, Bo seems to excel with extra time to prepare for games, other wise Northwestern would be of more concern. On the other hand they look solid this year. If we don't show up we could lose any or all, and if we play to our potential we should win them all.

It looked like he hurt his knee pretty good, did he come back in the game after that?

Those are high school starter vs 7th grade team numbers, he must be a man among boys.

I've been drunk, now Im over it, but getting ready to start again.

If M St. could score td's this wouldn't even be a close game

thats what ive been thinking, if u stop braxton u stop ohio st. MSU has been blitzing tOSU like crazy which has kept Braxton in check. Hopefully Bo and Co do something similar. One would hope. But if we do...defenders had better wrap up. Twice now that I've seen, Braxton should have been sacked but breaks free and makes a play. but that's what makes special players special, they make the plays when others wouldn't

I was just on the phone when that happened and I said we just won the ohio st game

but they look like both games could be tough for us

thats what ive been thinking, if u stop braxton u stop ohio st.

Would there be any real advantage to one over the other if the most it will be used for is for the kids to play games and me to take pictures and videos of the kids
