Buckeyes are thirsty for blood, apparently

MSU has to be saying "Stupid Iowa. Look what you did!"
#86 just ejected for targeting was jumping, hand slapping, celebrating as though he was pleased with the call. Must be Ohio State's favorite defensive play with what Bosa did last week! What a poor excuse for student athletes ! Turban should be pretty proud! How pathetic!
Iowa sure didn't do the rest of the BIG any favors last week. The Buckeyes have looked either hot/cold the last 2 years and I think last week's game finally embarrassed them to the point and results we're seeing today. OSU is a very hard team to bet on - wouldn't wager any kind of money on them no matter how sure it looks
And I'll say "Then don't beat us earlier in the season. Lesson learned, Sparty......"
MSU has been living lucky this season. We got OSU's attention and they are putting it on MSU via the ground. OSUs biggest issue is JT Barrett is the most overrated QB every year.
So what you are saying is, Iowa needs to win today to finish off OSU's chances of zombie-walking there way back into the playoffs. Okay, Hawkeyes, gotta do what you gotta do.
Like I said in my 'game plan' prior to the OSU game, they should key on the RB on every play out of zone read and make Barrett run the ball. That is what they did. They executed it pretty damn well, and Barrett got tired of running the ball and taking hits and started forcing balls. Go back and look, we were hitting the
RB in the backfield play after play whether he had the ball or not. It's a zone 'read' so you make the QB read 'keep' every play. He'll get some yards but wasn't going to hurt us like those 2 RB's.....
We probably just 'loaded the box' against them, LOL.......my bad.

LOL, The Buckeye's starting RB had 6 carries for 51 yards, and their number 2 RB had 5 carries for 27 yards. So 11 carries = 78 yards.... You don't seem to have a grasp on reality. Is this Herby/Kilroy's new account?
Because JT kept the ball instead of handing it off.
He did that because we were CONSTANTLY blowing up the RBs on plays.
The RBs didn't get many carries but A LOT of that is because the D didn't let them.....
His posts are quite annoying, but he actually was right about that.....
Might want to watch the game instead of looking at stats
Has JT Barret been in college 8 years? Maybe the bucknuts can make a T-shirt that says it takes them that long to get a degree at that U.Might have a t-shirt made!
Barrett is a 5th year senior, who started his redshirt freshman year so it does seem like he’s been around forever. He actually graduated last December, which means he did so in less than 4 years. Barrett certainly has his limitations as QB, but then again, you would be hard pressed to ever hear him say that he is more than he is. You would actually be hard pressed to ever hear him say anything about his skills and ability, whether people are praising him or degrading him.
I know your post was more about being funny about someone who plays for the competition, which is fine, but I thought I’d inject some facts for the hell of it. Just in case others believed what you were saying.
Believe me, that is the question that WE (Buckeye fans) are asking. Still SMH. We're becoming as schizophrenic as Northwestern.
And of course, I can imagine that you Hawkeye fans are asking yourselves a similar question -- "How can we roll over Ohio State one week and play like sheet the next?"
All cfb fans, beginning with myself, should have our heads examined.
You would think so but this happens far to often. We tried to throw one deep pass to a TE (Fant) who beat the coverage and was a 1/2 step too long. Think our TEs had 4 targets after tearing it up last week.
Welcome to Iowa football.
That's what I remember. Iowa obviously game planned to take away the RBs so that JT would be carrying the ball (and getting hit a lot). Seemed to affect his passing, too. He was one tired puppy in the second half.
Good story, but the facts say differently. Our three RBs had 101 yards on 15 carries, for a 6.7 ypc average.
Not trying to dismiss Iowa's game plan, which was superb and well-executed, but it was certainly aided and abetted by Meyer's "lets-ignore-our-league-leading-RB" offensive game plan.
The facts I remember are JT trying to hand off many times but being forced to take it himself as the backs were going do in the backfield.
Eh, could be. I stopped watching in the second half. Took the wife out craft shopping. Sort of the lesser of two evils.
Come on, man. Dobbins had a 35 yard run early (which was great) but otherwise he and Weber got stuffed. The third RB came in after the game was out of hand--those were meaningless yards. JT was the most consistent gainer on the ground the first half. The second half? I can barely even remember Ohio State running the ball, Barrett or not, until that third guy got in the game in the 4th quarter when it no longer mattered.
