[AlexanderFan]

Sayin with a pick early, Mendoza just threw a pick deep in their own territory.

3-0 Indiana

 

[russtang]

Mute button sure is nice.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Indiana threatening, State scored on the turnover.

Sack on the third down after great coverage.

Missed field goal, his first of the year. 7-3 casheyes

 

[AlexanderFan]

Deep ball to Smith, casheyes in the red zone.

A game like this is why I always liked college football. Two unbeatens going at it late in the season. You don't see it in the NFL and with more parity in college now I don't know if we'll see many more of these but it's great.

both teams struggling in the red zone vs capable defenses....vs scoring at will against the lower half of the B1G every Saturday

 

[SkinnyFats]

Both teams playing okay. Nobody getting blown out. Nobody getting totally dominated.

 

[denver]

DL's are dominating ....QBs not exactly Heisman material

 

[PA Tide Fan]

A couple of great passes by IU and they have the lead.

 

[denver]

Nice touch on those throws

The most amazing thing in college football is the complete 180 it has taken. About 8 years ago teams were going up and down the field and scoring like crazy all through the country. Everyone was looking for those offensive coaches that couldn’t be stopped. That last about 6 years then this last year or two the offenses have about disappeared. Is it the quarterback play, change in philosophy, or what we are seeing here that defense lines are just more dominant then the offensive lines?

I have play design envy...

Defenses have adjusted

NIL/Portal has ruined quality of play

Clock rules have changed and nullified a lot of the hunh stuff that was all the rage a few years ago.

Its NFL-Lite. LOS talent has been spread across D1 and teams dont have enough depth. TOP has to go up because you dont have enough depth to play HUNH. Running effectiveness has gone down because there are more athletic DL than there are athletic OL.

IN Oline getting away with holds/ tackles play after play

 

[SkinnyFats]

Ohio State shanks a chip shot field goal which would have tied the game

 

[denver]

Oh my lord!!! OSU misses a chippy FG to tie...but the 3rd and 1 call was atrocious...glad its not us...guess Ryan Day ain't all that! lol

 

[RammerJammer14]

My God, what a terrible FG miss!

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Big missed FG by OSU. Kicker will have nightmares about that one if they lose.

 

[TDBama78]

Oh my, Ohio State pulls a talty
