I’m no football guru, but if you have a defense that is as shaky as ours play to play … you simply NEED to be capable of some game changing turnovers. Our offense can’t score every damn drive, the D has to steal one of OSU’s possessions without allowing them to punt.

I'm guessing that was a good time out call. Call a good defense, please.

Sayins been throwing some floaters for us to pick off, we just dont have the talent to go up and get them

I'm sorry, but that kind of officiating is coming down directly from the B1G. I'll die on that hill.

This is a B1G money team and they can't have anything upsetting this.

That hold was so blatantly obvious it's beyond ridiculous...and it was 6 yards from the ref.

Yeah we suck at tackling....but we have zero chance at tackling when being held.

It’s true. A few takeaways now and then would do wonders.

But also, I like the “Indiana” approach every now and then too. Make all your layups. If you just tackled Sayin there, you’ve forced 2 straight punts

Of course I don't think we have any chance of winning this thing... But man, not taking advantage of the field position we had on offense last series and then missing that sack on Sayin- those are the kinds of plays you've gotta make to compete with OSU.
