*** Official Ohio State Game Thread ***

If we win this game the post game call in shows are going to be lit!

This is the most satisfying half of Nebraska Football that I have witnessed in a very long time. It includes several examples of the kind of mistake that would usually bury this team mentally. The defense is playing hard. Winning some and losing some. They are forcing those turnovers. I guess "just making Ohio State punt" is overrated. Who knew?

All the complaints about the D are forgiven if we force two turnovers per half.

I wonder how many recruits are watching this game. I received texts from a few friends in Michigan who just turned on the game. They originally had no plans to watch because they assumed a blowout. The hatred between Michigan and OSU is amazing.

What a turnaround this would be.  Not counting my chickens yet, this I'd still a steep hill to climb by any stretch of the imagination.  But starting 0-6 then rattling off 3 straight and this one against #10 on the road.  Would be nuts.

HAHAHA they aired the Nebraska 2nd congressional district debate during the Husker game? WTF

I just wonder what the algorithm is. My first thought was score and time remaining, but the algorithm must be heavily weighed by the spread.

 

In any case, ESPN is going t look stupid after we complete the blowout of the suckeyes

If we get a stop to start and go down and score then I would expect a big shift

I saw this morning that Ohio State had a 96% chance to win this game. I won’t jinx it, cause there’s lots left to be played, but... maybe this could be a 4% game...

Is it bad i dont want to move because i dont want to jinx it

Here the deal.  I don’t doubt OSU comes out of half playing with their hair on fire.  Probably will be their best drive of the game.  All I want to see is the defense make them earn every yard.  Not some four play eating up huge chunks of yards drive that ends quickly giving the Buckeyes some swag.  Make them feel it for every yard they get

Like i said earlier, im oddly excited for this game.  Still am!

As several people have posted, it will be interesting to see the halftime adjustments. I am also interested to see who will be OSU QB in the 2nd half. Does Haskins' shoulder swell up during halftime? I prefer an 80% Haskins to their backup. By the way, can the backup QB run?

We have surpassed last years sack total already haven't we?

I’m continuing to operate under the assumption that we need to score every time we get the ball. Those underneath plays are still wide open and we aren’t going to get a fumble every series

Tate can run, and he can run well.  I believe Martell is the backup.
