Everyone is talking about the 10 men on the field blunder, but NOBODY is talking about the screen pass on second down by ND... had they just run the ball instead of passing to run clock, TOSU wouldn't have had enough time to win that game. ND was literally running the ball down our throats in many instances. That one play cost them the game long before the last few seconds.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Well, time to revisit my notes before the TOSU/ND game: McCord has looked pretty cool under pressure, so this will be a huge test whether or not this carries over once he gets top level rushes in his face. He's definitely looking more Burrow-like which is a positive. McCord played like Joe Burrow in the end, that same sort of cold calculated delivery, and what a time to do it. He proved a lot last night. - The offensive staff needs to do a better job in allowing McCord to spread the defense out in their playcalling... far too much short stuff which can be dangerous. Finally we saw what can happen when Day allows McCord to sling it, and boy did he sling it when we needed it! Could Day have been holding things back for this game? Interesting thought. - Is it me or are the RBs not much of a speed threat outside and are very north-south oriented? I don't think that Notre Dame will be too worried about covering outside runs, which could be an issue. Although it wasn't an issue, the RBs still are playing north-south and not too many plays went outside for the backs. Honestly the emergence of Chip Trayanum was exciting- he plays with juice and more quickness, which is a dynamic that needed. He could be special. - The defense has played great and has been quite sharp, which is VERY encouraging. If the offense has long stretches of little production, the defense could be huge factor in keeping it close enough to pull out a victory. Well, the defense did its job in pass defense, but the run defense was not good... far too many runs by all of the ND backs which could have been catastrophic but fortunately Hartman wasn't up to the challenge.

The play before that on first down they chose to pass and not run. Both of those plays were terrible play calls. The Irish deserved to lose for doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all a blur in the end... my wife already was saying "this game is over" and I'm like (in my Belushi voice).... "IT'S OVER??? WHADDYA MEAN IT'S OVER???" 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s actively fighting against the complacency that led to the road losses here that plagued Cooper, Tressel, and Meyer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willyville Guy Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Huge game for these two programs. Expecting a tight one as usual. Franklin looking to take the next step for his program. Buckeyes looking to become the only team in America with two top-10 wins. LFG!! 🍿 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 That fourth down call by OSU in this type of game made no sense imo. Big Ten football can be a brutal watch at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 How can they call intentional grounding on Aller? He hasn't thrown within 10 yards of his receivers all day?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I never thought I'd say this but I missed Sean Clifford. Drew Aller has the arm but he's inaccurate and has a lot to learn. Love the defense of Penn State. Too bad the offense isn't quite there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpack78 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Might be the OSU homer in me but I wouldn’t be mad if the Bills gave up two firsts plus to get Marv. Edited October 21, 2023 by wolfpack78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn State really knows how to destroy 5 star QBs...and get scrappy 2 star QBs to play with moxie. McGloin, McSorley, Clifford >>> Hackenberg & Allar. Pribla may be in that former camp too....just disapointing. Strange part with Allar is that he isnt bad. He has ALL the tools. He is poised and confident. He doesn't throw interceptions. He is just inaccurate (thus far) and has no good receivers. Dare I say he needs a Josh Allen type of turn.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyville Guy Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Tough game - OSU just had more playmakers on offense. With all the frustrations watching McCord's week-to-week and quarter-to-quarter development, the OL's shocking struggles on run blocking, and the injuries on both sides of the ball... one could be forgiven for not noticing that this season has strong 2002 vibes.
